XP from Nurseries: Cloth diapering - Where do I "dispose?"

mejane123

I posted this over on the Nurseries and Baby Gear board, but I wanted to post here, too.  DH and I are strongly considering cloth diapers, or at the very least a trial run.  just to see how they work out for us.  I was just wondering what you ladies use as a diaper pail, since a Diaper Genie doesn't really seem too practical  A lot of the other posters said they use the hanging wet/dry bags.  Originally I thought they were more for traveling purposes, but I guess not?

Thanks!

I use a waste basket and a pain liner. You can use a hanging wet bag-we did for the first couple of months, but an open basket is much easier to get a messy diaper into.

We just bought a cheapy garbage can at Target and use a pail liner.

You can see our set up on my blog if you'd like.

We do the majority of our changes on the first floor of our house so the area we have for diaper changing here has a white plastic tall kitchen garbage can that we use planetwise pail liners with. Upstairs in DD's bedroom we use large hanging wetbags on the back of the door.

I use PlanetWise XL hanging wet/dry bags because I don't have the floor space for a big enough trash can. I have two - when one is being washed with the diapers, the other one is in use. The bags are definitely not just for travel.

I think I was thinking of the smaller wet/dry bags when I was thinking they were for traveling.  I guess I'll wait and see how much additional space I have, then decide on a hanging bag or pail.  Thanks a lot!!

I've used just a bag before, but I really prefer having a trash can. I have a 13 gallon plastic can with a foot pedal for the lid, and it works great (I use a planetwise bag as the liner).

Our DD's nursery is pretty tiny, so there just wasn't enough room for a regular garbage pail and another diaper pail with a pail liner in it. We keep all of our diapers in a hanging wet bag on the back of the door.

We actually use a Diaper Genie and love it, we do have the disposable liners for it, but I made my own pail liner that is roughly the size of a planetwise pail liner. This works great, it still holds 2 days worth of diapers (prefolds, pockets, aios, and cloth wipes) we have 2 so when one is in the laundry there is a ready clean one to go right in.

We use a small foot lever garbage can with an old pillowcase as the liner. We have 1 in the nursery and 1 in the kids bathroom (where we have our diaper sprayer).
