Anyone use a pail without a liner?

Sorry I feel I have to ask. This is something that has been shaking around in my head for like a month. I have been searching for a cheap good quality pail liner, the cheapest I can find is on ebay for $7.57 but I think its a little small and I am not certain of the quality its just a cheap made in China one. So I am thinking of going with the next cheapest I found its on clearance and its a Grovia pail liner for $13.95.

What I have been thinking about since I know I am going to get a pail wouldn't it make since to buy two cheapie pails and just wash one with dish detergent and bleach when I do laundry? I would then let it drip out and store it under the second pail which I would be using until the next laundry day.  

Just curious if anyone else did something similar or any thoughts anyone might have. It honestly bothers me thinking I am going to buy a cheap garbage bucket then spend twice the price to get two liners to go in it. 

Oh I don't want to go with a hanging wet bag I would not have anywhere to attach it.

Re: Anyone use a pail without a liner?

  • I strongly recommend getting a liner. I got one of mine super cheap at a KangaCare seconds sale. If you get a hanging bag, you could just use a door handle. It's so easy just throwing the bags in the wash. It's bad enough I'll be washing/scraping poop off the dipes, I wouldn't want to worry about the pail too.

  • That sounds like so much work. You really want to wash a pail full of poop and pee every second day? I don't. I've used the same pail liners for almost 2 years, and they're both fine and ready to keep using for another 2 with the next kid. Just buy the liners, you won't regret it.

  • Yeah you guys are right, I will buy the liners. Sometimes I have to say stupid things and get the reactions to relies the obvious. Thanks.
  • We used to keep a pail (with liner) in DD's room and a bucket (no liner) in the bathroom for the poopy diapers that had just been sprayed. I would dump the bucket right into the washer and just rinse it out. It worked pretty well, and the reason we stopped doing that is just that we moved and have a different bathroom/bedroom setup now, but I wouldn't want to do it with all the diapers. Like, it was a small bucket that would only accumulate a few diapers between every wash cycle. I wouldn't want to have a big pail to wash out that way.

  • Plus i would think the pail might begin to absorb the smell even with the frequent cleaning sanitizing

  • No way I would be washing out a poopy diaper pail after every use. That's more work than it's worth.

    Check out this link, lots of pail liner options: https://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/other.htmpailliner

    I'll be getting two of the Kissas pail liners for 14.95 each. Made in the USA. I don't need any special top closure, considering I'll be carrying it twenty feet and throwing it in the wash.

  • I'll say that I've gotten lazy and I honestly am not sure where our pail liners are.  We just throw the diapers in the bucket.  That said baby is almost 2 and has about 6 diapers a day and poop goes right in the toilet with basically nothing left on the diaper.  So you can do it but when she was little the diapers were messy so get a pail liner.

  • I've heard some phenomenal things about the Planet Wise pail liner.  My SIl just got me two of them so that I can use one and have one in the wash.

  • We use a pail with no liner. On wash day I just fill the pail with a little water, a squirt of blue dawn and swish around and dump down the drain.  We don't have any problems with poop on the sides or stinkies.  I've been doing this since my 2.5 yo was born.
