Two of the most common questions about cloth diapers are 1) What do you do with the dirty diapers? and 2) What about poop? Here's my take on it. I started out using a wet pail (cold water in a bucket) and it was terrible. Stinky, messy, all around yucky. I don't recommend it. Then I got a step-pedal diaper trash can and used a linen bag (bought from Walmart). Because the pail was closed up and no air got in, it STUNK!!! Worse than the wet pail did. The ammonia smell was nauseating within a few hours of the first diaper going in. I then decided to get a hanging wetbag and I love it! It holds about 1 1/2 days worth of my 23 months old's dirty diapers. I keep it hanging on my garage door, next to the washer/dryer closet, and keep it open until it's full. There is no stink at all.
For the poop, I have a diaper sprayer I bought off ebay (this seller) and I love it. We use it with every single poopy diaper and it works great. I don't know how I lived without it, honestly. I keep an old ice cream container (plastic, one gallon tub) next to the toilet and I put the dripping wet, sprayed diaper in there until wash day.
If you are a cloth diaperer, what do YOU do with the dirty diapers?
