Cloth Diapering

How to store dirty diapers

We want to cloth diaper and wash every other day. We have a very small nursery. What's is the best way to store dirty diapers? Brands?

  • A hanging wet bag unzipped will not have smell issues? I've heard that... Could you put anything in the wet bag to make sure there are no smell issues?

  • You would actually have more smell with a closed bag or pail. Even a pail is supposed to be open. The air circulation cuts down on bacteria and stink.

    you could put a few drops of a good smelling essential oil onto a cloth and put it at the bottom of the pail…but it's not really necessary

  • I only use a wet bag in the nursery with a pail in the laundry room.

    You really won't get smells if you leave it uncovered/open. I use a Kissaluv pail liner in a trash bin without a lid (I actually recently "lost" the lid because my MIL kept putting it on the pail) and the pail liner actually has a little piece of absorbent fabric on the inside to put essential oils for smell purposes. You don't need to use it, but we have a nice oil mix someone at my yoga studio makes so our nursery has a lovely citrus smell from using that now :)

    We have a open wet bag hanging in the bedroom and an open trash can w/ pail liner in the bathroom.  When the diapers come off they immediately go in the wet bag.  Twice a day I dump the wet bag into the trash can and spray/soak any that need it.  If I have a poopy one from my 19 mo old I spray immediately.  It's good to have the can in the bathroom so I am not carrying a drippy diaper around the house.  I should note that I have 2 in cloth.  

    ETA: If your wet bag/pail is smelly you probably are having stink issues with your diapers.  If you diapers are getting properly cleaned and have no build-up, they shouldn't have an overwhelming smell when dirty.  And when we travel for the weekend and take our wet bag I sprinkle it with Rockin' Green Shake It Up Pail Refresher just for good measure.  It's not necessary but I got it as a gift and I like the scent.
