Where do I put the wipes?

Question

So I've purchased some cloth diapers and a dry pail with a washable liner. I think I've got a pretty good handle on some aspects of cloth diapering but there's a few "logistical" aspects I can't figure out.

1. I'm going to use disposable wipes. Where do I put them? Do I need to buy a separate trash can?

2. I have diaper liners for the messy diapers to flush down the toilet. This sounds good but I'm having trouble imagining running to the bathroom with a dirty diaper while dealing with a baby . Seems like a lot of trouble...or am I overthinking it?

Answer

I found cloth wipes to be just as easy. I had a spray bottle of water and a spray bottle of bottom cleaner. I would wet the washcloth with water, spray the bottom cleaner onto baby, then wipe. Wipe went into wet diaper and into bag or pail. Disposables are expensive and have chemicals, which is what I'm avoiding in the first place with the diapers.  When I did happen to use dispisable wipes they would inevitably end up going through the wash.

Answer

Just buy a seperate trash can for disposable items. I would throw away liners though. The flushable ones aren't really flushable and can destroy your plumbing!!

Answer

Using disposable wipes and a separate trash can is super stinky and disgusting. That only worked 1.5 days for us. Lol. Cloth wipes in a wipe container, pre moistened, pop-up fold works for us. And I have sprayer shield and just clip the dirty wipe on it and hose it off in the toilet. And it goes with all of the soiled diapers and inserts in my pail. And my saying "just" not going to lie, cloth diapers are 2x more work than disposable diapers and wipes. But I need the savings bad enough to do it. Not enjoying it though. I miss disposables.

Answer

You're really over thinking it... It's very simple and a seperate trash can would make it easier just buy a small $2 from Walmart and it's that simple cloth diapering is way easier than disposables
