Cloth Diaper Pail Question (and a few other CD ?s)

in January 2013 Moms

I recently made the leap to cloth diapering and so far I really like it. However, I am trying to figure out my pail situation. Right now I am just using a large wetbag, but as our stash grows I want to use the pail, plus I want to have an upstairs and a downstairs disposal plan.

I purchased this pail liner:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00316JDAS/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

does anyone else have this? What kind of trashcan do you suggest to go with it? Obviously one with a lid. Do you use more than one pail liner (because I know it says to line dry which can take a while!)

I also ordered this Rockin Green Pail freshener:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00409QI62/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

in case the pail smell gets funky...she's EBF so I don't think her diapers smell too bad but when they sit and "brew" for a while it's a bit much. Anyone else use this and like it/don't like it. I'd love to know a DIY natural freshener so I don't have to shell out more money for this often.

 Also, I wondered about stripping diapers. How often do you strip your diapers? I have primarily BG 4.0s (and one Fuzzibun but she'll probably outgrow it soon!) and mainly bright colors/patterns, I have heard that stripping should be done with original Dawn dishsoap and bleach...but how does the bleach work with the colors? I recently ruined some of my clothes from bleach cleaning my bathroom and I do not want that to happen to my cloth stash.

 Sorry this is so long, I know there's been lots of cloth diaper questions lately I am just trying to get the hang of this whole thing :) TIA!

    I don't use a pail liner. I just rinse out my pail when I wash the diapers. I have this Pail.<

    We have a simplehuman stainless steel trash can. I wanted something with a foot peddle. We put a large wet bag in the pail. I have two and wash every other day.

    I have the same pail liner.  I use a larger, plastic, step trash can that I picked up at Walmart.  It's narrow and I've found it to be the perfect size. I have two pail liners so I can replace the liner immediately when I go to wash.  I

    I also have 2 liners and I agree it makes life easier. The liner has a fabric tag on the inside, I put 23 drops of tea tree oil on it and I have not had any smell issues. There are other essential oils like lavender oil that you can use instead. With thus

    I have that pail liner too and don't like it.  I got the fuzzibunzs pail liner and love it!  The nice thing about the fuzzibunzs is that there is a zipper opening at the bottom (doesn't leak at all) so when I do laundry all I do is unzip it a
