Diaper pail liner?

Gillian, Thank you for tha advice!!! I need all the help I can get! I use diposables with my first two and this is all new to me. I have some prefolds, flats, covers(proraps and thirsties) 2 gdipaers and 2 BG 3.0. The prorap covers have cut outs for the umbilical cord but again not sure how things will fit. I did get some disposables just incase!!!

Susan, since you haven't started yet, wanted to give you a little FYI, that you may want to wait till the cord falls off to start the cloth - if your diapers are a little high in front.

Also, I find that not having a lid or cover on my diaper pail, and letting the air in to dry them, makes the smell so much better than the wet bags I use when I go out, that keep all the moisture in.

I haven't started CDing as my little one has not arrived yet but I bought a zippered pillow case that you get for if you suffer from allergies. It is water proof or resistant anyway and thought I would try that. I don't know how it will wash over time but I figured I wouldn't put it in the dryer and see how it works and lasts. I think it was $8-9. I just set it in a trash can with a cover.

I use the liners from weebunz.com and put it right in with the diapers. I do dry mine and haven't had any problems. I think I use the Bummis too.

A pillow case is a super idea!  I had decided to buy a sheet at a thrift store and cut/sew that into a bag, but a pillowcase is already sewn for me!  Yay one less step!  I need a liner b/c I'm sloppy and get baby poop on the sides of the pail when I toss the diapers in from across the room.  And if I put it out in the sun for an hour, it doesn't matter that the liner isn't waterproof.  Super!  Thanks all.

I don't use a liner-- just a plastic 5 gallon trash can. I have a wet bag, but I hated it-- just one more thing to wash! :-)

I just use a hamper liner in the diaper pail. It's cloth mesh, so it's very breatheable, and I just empty it out into the wash with the diaps. I think it came from Babies R Us. I tried to find an example online, but couldn't, sorry!

I just bought a wet bag from amazon for about $20, and I think its small looking. (even though it is a size large). This is what I got exactly: 

Bummis Waterproof Bag (Large 10 Gal. Diaper Pail-23"X22") 

 It also looks like it is not entirely water-proof. More water resistant. As soon as I took the thing out of the box, I thought "Man, I could have made a better one out of a shower curtain!" I'm not much of a sewer, but how hard can it be to sew a bag? Also, I know shower curtains can go in the laundry. The shower liners are only a few dollars anyways. Good luck!

Bummis sells a diaper pail liner and they come in all different sizes , you can wash them in the washer with your diapers just not dry it.

I made my own out of PUL, but before that I dry pailed in a bucket and sunned it too!  I have heard of people using a pillow case and then just throwing it in the wash along with the dipes.

I don't use a liner either. I use a tall garbage can and whenever I wash, I just put the pail and lid out in the sun for an hour or so. It stays clean and doesn't smell.

I just use a five gallon bucket right now. I can hose it out.



If you live near a Super Target, you may find one there.
