What are you using as a laundry hamper?

I registered for a white wicker laundry hamper with a green check liner to use in the nursery...but the thing seemed so?flimsy?and cheap in the store that I'm sure it would fall apart in no time at all. ?I'm thinking maybe I should delete it from my registry and find something different. ?What are you using?

i am just using a regular white plastic one. i thought about the wicker ones and although they are cute, i am afraid of it breaking apart and leaving wood pieces all over the floor.

I actually bought the hamper that went with the bedding. I didn't need it, but I *had* to have it, lol. Any old hamper will work. Just put it in the closet if it is ugly. I like those seperater ones, with 3 slots. You could have one side be for poopy/pee covered clothes, one for whites and one for colors.

We got the little cloth one that goes with our bedding. It doesn't seem too sturdy either but I don't usually tote the hamper into the laundry room. ?I take the clothes out of it and carry them in a laundry basket. ?Not sure why I do it that way, I just do.

we're just using a wicker hamper with the removable liner. we have one in our bedroom, and i like it alot. i think mike&care's idea about the divided one is good. i might consider getting another plastic one to stick really gross stuff in!

we have a basket w/ liner type hamper ourselves so we'll just get the cutesy one that comes with our bedding. I don't quite understand what they need to be extremely rigid for.  As long as it doesn't break apart I don't think hampers are typically made to be that "solid" - you aren't gonna sit on it or anything.

if the wicker part is shedding than thats another issue.

I think we may just get one from IKEA. It will be in the closet so it doesn't have to look "pretty".

I hadn't even thought about this yet.

DH and I have laundry hampers built into our built in closet (california closets type).  We have four so that we can separate our laundry as we take it off.  I'd like the baby's to be separated too.  DH will probably build some sort of closet system into the closet in the baby's room, so maybe I'll have him add a couple of laundry hampers in there.

Ours will probably hidden in the closet so probably just a plain ole white plastic one.

a friend gave us a bakset hamper (with a long clothesline of clothing attached to it) for my baby shower for DS - we use that - it's just big enough to hold a good amount, but not so big that we are lazy and overstuff it then realize we are out of clean clothes for DS.

for the twins i'm going to get something larger since it will be 2x's the clothing... nothing fancy nor babyish necessarily - when i see something that will blend in with the decor i'll get it.

Since the apartment washer and dryer ruins our clothes and MIL lets us wash for free at her house, DH and I will be toteing the laundry basket around.  I haven't really thought about it, but we will need something strudy.  The thing about the wicker hamper falling apart... If you get one with a liner that has thick wicker pieces it won't fall apart like some wicker hampers.  The people I work for have a wicker hamper for the twins and it hasn't come apart at all and it gets toted to the laundry room.  The ONLY bad thing I have noticed about it is that they throw wet/ peed on clothes in there and don't wash right away so the wicker part of the hamper has black gross spots on the inside.  So if you are choosing this type, either plan on replaceing it once a year or don't put your baby's peed on clothes in the hamper and leave them there...
