alternatives to sprayer?

The water sprayer is not an option for us.  Are there other, effective ways to clean the poop off before putting them in the laundry bag?  We will be starting with newborn, so likely sticky then runny.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

YOu don't need to rinse any diapers until your baby starts eating solids (so around 6 months or so). For the first few months you can just throw all wet and poopy diapers into the pail or wetbag as is and then right into the wash. Formula and breastmilk are both water soluable and rinse right out in the initial rinse in your wash routine. It's seriously that easy! After your baby starts eating solids, you can use flushable liners. My favorite are the Grovia bioliners.

Yup, don't need to worry about it until they start solids (or poop golf balls like DD). I never worried about it. I just shook it out into the toilet. Though my kid poops really solid.

Once we started solids at 4 mos, and LO's poop became like peanut butter, I scraped with a plastic spoon. That lasted for a few weeks before the poop became ploppable. Also, I started putting her on the toilet for poops when she was 6 mos for easier clean up. She has been "poop-trained" since before she was a year old because of this.

I didn't rinse a diaper until 6ish months when LO started getting solids.

Now at 15 months, I've just been plopping and swishing in the toilet ever since. Super easy, fast, no extra stuff required, and nowhere near the big deal people make it out to be. It's actually quite easy to do without making a mess.

Does leaving the poop on there, especially the early, BF poops cause more stains? I'd like to resell my stash someday and while I know a lot can be sunned out I'd rather mot have to worry about it.

Like PP's said, no need to rinse if baby is BF until they start on solids.  Once we got to that point we started using Bummis flushable liners and love love love them!

I haven't had any staining and have had some massive poops.

Most of my DD's poops are now "ploppable" poops so I just plop those in the toilet. When they are mushy poops I use toilet paper and scrap it off with that. I find that easier than using a sprayer. 

Her diapers do not have stains. I do have to sun them on occasion (rare) and I do bleach every once in awhile though.
