silly question but obviously you dont wash one at a time so have few for a load, then dont you have smelly dirty nappies in the laundry basket ? do you get rid of the bulk of the poo ? or does it all go in the washer ?  i dont have a clue |

I'm Currently Feeling: | You get a lidded bucket Lauz
You can use disposable liners and just throw it down loo or fleece liners which you wash after dropping poo down toilet |

I store my nappies in a nappy bin. There is a mesh nappy bag in there too so I just put them in there. My bin can hold about 2-3 days worth, then I do a load.
The poo goes down the loo. I use fleece liners and it just falls off into the loo. If she has had a bad one then sometimes I have to power shower the residue (sorry TMI) but it isd rare I have to do that. Alternatively there are opaper liners that can be flushed away too. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Seren does big pats too, and when she was younger she had runny poo all the time, I used the paper liners then. Though the fleece are prettier |

| Yeah I use fleece liners most of the time, but cause noah tends to poo at set times each day I stick a disposable liner in that nappy, then just drop it down the loo and its all gone, nicer than having to bag up disposables! And their is nothing worse then opening your wheelie bin to the stink of disposables.
Ialso wash every three days, nappies are kept in their own kitchen swing bin not with the other washing, in a nappy mesh bag, so I just throw the whole thing in the machine in the evening and stick them on the airer before I go to bed. It really is no more hastle than disposables. Plus they are a real talking point and really funky looking.
Im cloth 100% of the time. In fact MIL is having Noah this weekend and I sent him over their with a sack of cloth and reuasble wipes etc. And sad as it is I do get excited about getting fluffy post, I have so far averaged £100 a week in stocking up on loads of lovely nappies, (far more than I actually need!) | | | | Status: Offline

| 100% cloth here. Changed over when Ella was 4 months and haven't looked back. I've stocked up on dinky little nappies for when the new baby comes and I can't wait to see him with his first fluffy white nappy on  |
