CD'ers: Wet Bag vs Diaper Pail

What do you use at home? I've been using a wet pail but have been thinking that it would be so much easier to just hang a wet bag on the door and use that instead! They are water proof, but I'm guessing they weren't intended to be filled with water like a bucket. Is the staining on the diaper worse if you don't soak the diaper after use?

I was thinking of getting a Planet Wise Large wet bag with the strap on it, or possibly the wet/dry wet bag with the handles. I wish the large wet bag with the strap had a handle instead!

 Any thoughts? recommendations?

    I don't think anyone uses a wet pail anymore for soaking. Its a drowing hazard and unsanitary. I use a pail liner in a regular walmart step trash can. I know a lot of ladies do that as well. Wet bags are intended to hold wet things but not water, KWIM? If I put too many soaking diapers in my wet bag/pail liner it soaks thru the outside. That is where my plastic trash can comes in handy. I do that until wash day, every 2-3 days.

    We use a garbage pail with a pillow case as a liner and wash every other day.

    Thanks, I will look into a pail liner and back away from the soaking! Phew, I'm relieved! Soaking poopy diapers is pretty gross.

    Yeah, we have a plastic step-open 10 gallon trash can from Target and 2 Wahmmies PUL pail liners.  When we do the laundry, the wet bag/pail liner goes in there right with the diapers.  Very little issue with stains and we do laundry every 3rd day (sooner if it's really poopy).

    We actually do like you suggested in the OP, hang a large Planet Wise hanging wet bag on a hook that is screwed to the wall next to where we change him.  The dirty diapers go in the bag straight from his butt, and then I wash every second day or so.  We have two bags, and when I wash dipes I just empty the bag into the washer and toss the bag in after.  It gets nice and clean, we haven't had any smell issues in his room.   I love not having a trashcan sitting around, because we live in an apartment, and I don't have a laundrytub or garage sink where I could rinse it out, I'd have to do it in the kitchen sink, which I don't like.
