Using a Diaper Sprayer

I use to dunk and swish for 4 months then we moved and my husband installed the sprayer and I love it. I think it works so much better. I have a handle on mine so I can control the pressure of the water so I don't get much splatter. I also have read on other websites if you flush than spray they pressure isn't as high.

I can control the pressure of the water but not turning the handle all the way to avoid the splashing.

Get a potty pail!!!!! or make one. We LOVE ours. I never realized how much better it makes life until we went on vacation for a week and didn't have it--wow, I'd never go back.

Quoting Peggy:

I use a sprayer and love it. We had some splash at our last house because the water pressure was so high but I just held the sprayer pointed down close to the dipaer so it didnt slash as much. Because of the sprayer I never have any stains or stink. Its the best prewash. I tried the dunk and swish but it didnt get the poo out near as well.

I wonder if I should invest in a diaper sprayer.  I bet it would help with stains and stink, didn't really think of it that way.

I am wondering if the diaper sprayer is worth is now that I've read this post. I just dunk and swish ... I KNOW gross, but I'm cheap, and I scrub my hands, using a nail brush even, and many times just wash up my toilet while I'm at it, so we are all sprkling clean. Was thinking of using the dipaer sprayer BC I thought it might help me save water. I sometimes flush a couple times bc my toilet bowl holds very little water. Suppossed to be saving water that way, but it's not very handy for cloth diapers. I hope more people respond with their recommendations! Anyone else just dunk and swish?

My daughter is potty trained now but we used clothe on her the entire time and we have a diaper sprayer (which we still use to rinse out her potty. ^_^) Ours is hooked up to the toilet as well and we always put the diaper in the bowl to spray it out. I think a little spray off is natural but we never really had poop spraying out of the bowl it was just water ricocheting....

I too have a diaper sprayer hooked to my toilet and also get some splatter sometimes!! I just keep a bottle of cleaner in the bathroom and quickly wipe down the toilet:)

Do you have your diaper sprayer hooked up to the toilet plumbing? We have ours hooked up that way and I just lay the diaper cover in the toilet bowl and spray it out that way and then finish washing it by hand and air-drying. I also just spray out the prefolds when it is poopy and then put it in the pail. It is kind-of gross because it may splash a little bit, but I don't really mind because I am committed to using the cloth and am willing to deal with it!
