Hi there.  Just a couple more questions (so far) for you. What kind of diaper pail do you use and where did you get it. I was at BRU the other day and only saw ones for disposables.  Also, did you get the little spray thing you fasten to your toilet  to rinse off poopy diapers? Just curious if you are using anything to rinse them off before putting them in the pail. THanks a bunch!!

I think most cloth diaper users just stick to a flip-top garbage can with a tight fitting lid and not something made specifically for diapers. Han the wetbag inside of there. I think something knee-highish would be best.

Megan is right - I don't use anything special.  I just bought an elcheapo plastic garbage can with a step lid (so if my hands are full I can just step on the lever thingie and the top opens.)

I actually leave the lid up most of the time - the more air that can circulate, the less stinky the dipes can get.  Think about it - when you use your washcloth in the bathroom, you usually hang it up to dry so it doesn't get all musty smelling.  Just do the same with the dipes.  I tend to hang mine over the edge of the can as I change her, and as the rim gets full, the oldest ones I put in the bottom.

Stink really isn't an issue as long as you are doing wash at least every other day.

I did not get a sprayer - I might when we introduce solids though.  Right now, even though she's FF and not BF, I rarely rinse my dipes.  I just throw everything into the wash.  I will say this, the formula she's on, Similac Advanced with Early Shieild makes her poop very much like a BF babies poop, so we don't have solids.  If we had solid poop, then I'd be more into rinsing than I am.
