Planet Wise wet bags

I love my Planet Wise small wet bag, but I wanted a few more.  You can read more about why I love them in my wish list post.

The colors and prints are adorable. 

I got a medium, to give me a little more wiggle room than the small I have now (that holds 2 diapers but it's a tight fit).

I also got a wet/dry bag, which is almost exactly the same size as the medium bag.  However, it has a separate "dry" pocket on the outside to hold clean diapers, and also has a snap loop handle.  I thought this would be great to keep several diapers in the car when we were going to be out and about for a bit longer and would need more than the two or so I could easily fit in my bag.

I fit four clean diapers with no trouble & tons more room.

I also got a large wet bag to keep in the laundry room to use as a diaper pail basically.

I looped it on the drawer handle for now.  It's awesome!  It fits a day's worth of diapers (10) easily, with no wicking & no smell.  Boy does it stink when I unzip it at the end of the day, ha ha!  I've put dripping wet diapers in it after rinsing, and it doesn't leak when closed, even if I hold it upside down.

At the end of the day, I just unzip and shake the diapers into the washer.  I pull the inserts out and fold laundry tabs in before I put them in the wet bag to make things simpler.  Then I toss the bag in too!

You can dry these in the dryer, but I want to baby them, so I hung them to dry.  The insides of the bags are PUL.

By morning, it's dry & ready to use again, but I'd love to have a second one, so I can have one in use constantly.

I wish all of the wet bags had the loop handle.  A medium would be great to hang on the dishwasher handle to hold wet towels, dish cloths, and cloth napkins (when I finally get some!)  It would also be handy to be able to loop a wet bag around my diaper bag handle.  I love the wet/dry bag, but I usually just keep 1 or 2 diapers and a folded up wet bag in my bag for short trips.  It workd wonderfully, but would be convenient to hang it on my bag handle instead of trying to shove it back in the bag.

I also got a large "basic" pail liner.

The outside is super soft and it has an elastic drawstring and PUL inside.

I haven't tried it in my diaper dekor yet.  As I said in my post about pails, I'm not sure if it would be worth the trouble, it might be easier to stick with what I'm doing now!

Econobum

I got this free with an order by using a coupon code.  Not a fan.

It consists of a nice prefold.  I mean a really nice prefold.  Not even in the same neighborhood (or country for that matter) as those Gerber diapers people use as burp cloths.  Really. 

and an extremely thin, cheap, one size cover.  It comes in white only.

The prefold is unbleached cotton, so it had to be "prepped" by washing 3-5 times, which I did.  Supposedly, you are able to trifold the prefold, and place it inside, rather than pinning or using a snappi, so that's what I did.

Leaked instantly!  I suppose I should give it another chance, but I really don't care to.  I believe the intention is to re-use the cover, only changing the prefold (unless the cover gets really dirty).

At under $10 retail for a set of 1 cover and 1 prefold, this would be a very economical method of diapering, especially if you were to buy just a few, and fill in with plain old (decent) prefolds.

However, I feel that you'd be much better served to buy a few BG 3.0s (approximately 2x the cost of an econobum set) and wash twice per day, adding to your stash as you could (this is pretty much what I did).

I definitely do not see an econobum lasting through more than one child (I'd be surprised if it lasted more than a few months) nor would I expect it to have any resale value.

I'd definitely put this is the "penny wise, pound foolish" category.

Pail or no pail

Part of my going with the flow has actually been not using a diaper pail.  I went from 3 to 6 to 12 to 15 diapers, so I was/am constantly washing.  I was essentially using my washing machine as a diaper pail, which only became a problem when I was doing laundry (pretty much every other day). 

When that happened, I just put the diaper sin the utility sink.  That's fine, but it can get a little smelly.

If my husband changes a diaper, he just puts the dirty one there, and I have to fold the laundry tabs and pull the insert.

I've been interested in trying a pail liner, probably one with a drawstring, to see if it would fit in my diaper dekor pail.  However, since I wash daily, it seems like an extra step.  It would work wonderfully if all diapers had their laundry tabs folded in and their inserts removed before being put in the pail, so I could just dump it into the washer and go.  Otherwise I'll be left wading through a dozen stinky diapers to find inserts & tabs.  I'd probably still miss one and up with a diaper chain and an insert wadded up inside a diaper.

So the other thought was keeping a wet bag in the laundry room .  I wanted to do that anyway so I had a good place to keep dirties after spraying.  If I put them all in there, my husband could still just put the rare diaper he changes, into the sink.  It's a short trip to the laundry room, which is outside my kitchen, so it's really no big deal.

Smartipants

Smartipants is the only company that did not respond to my request to use their images in my "wish list" post.

Still, I was intrigued by the claim that the insert would agitate out in the wash, and it was also the least expensive one size diaper I've seen so far.

It's also the first one I've seen that doesn't come with a doubler.

It has only a single row of snaps, and the insert agitates out because it has more of a "patch" than a pocket.  Annoying to stuff for sure.

It was fine, but nothing to write home about.  Even the ability to wash without removing the insert doesn't entice me.  If they were all you had, you could just change them & wash them.  No tabs to fold over & no insert to pull out.  For me, I don't care.  I usually grab the insert with the wipe, then lay it inside the diaper & fold it up.  I have to use hand sanitizer after changing a diaper anyway, so who cares.

They're also only about $3 cheaper than the Bumgenius, but appear to be much cheaper.  Don't forget that they don't come with a doubler either.

I am realizing how economical the BG 3.0s really are, I just wish they came in more colors and some prints too!

Edit August 2010: This has been in our regular rotation for 8 months and is a favorite.  It has held up well, is easy to use and doesn't leak.  It looked basic initially but looks can be deceiving!

Blueberry bamboo

When I had all of my new diapers hanging to dry, my husband picked this one out as the most expensive immediately.  I didn't ask him to choose one, he did it on his own.  He said it definitely looked the nicest & felt the softest.  It was sooooooo soft inside, I wanted to put my face on it!  It wasn't quite as soft after washing though.

The diaper came with the same cardboard sleeve that the minky diaper with the hemp/microfiber insert had, but it had an outer plastic bag with a "bamboo" sticker.  It had a loose doubler like the minky one did.



When I opened it up, the inserts were a really soft material, not at all like the microfiber/hemp ones I received with the minky diaper.  The sleeve's fabric content listing was clearly not accurate, since these were NOT microfiber/hemp.

I couldn't tell what they were, so I wasn't sure if they would need to be prepped like hemp.  To be on the safe side, I washed them separately 3 times, to ensure any oils were removed, and no oils (if any) were transferred to other diapers or inserts.

I finally found on their website that the inserts are bamboo/cotton velour.  Still not sure how to prep them but oh well.

The diaper is really cute.  I think it's actually quite gender neutral, despite being blue.

The other Blueberry diaper I have has velcro closures, which I despise.  They stick to every-freaking-thing and it takes super human strength to get them off the dang laundry tabs.  Even my husband was surprised by that.  So this diaper has snaps.

The inner and outer material, closure and inserts are different, but the two diapers I have are otherwise the same (ha, that sounds ridiculous).

Anyway, same good fit, I didn't have any trouble with the snaps.  I liked that there were two rows of snaps.  The Fuzzibunz have a total of 6 snaps to do each time and it's irritating and confusing.

I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't prefer this soft, squishy diaper against their skin instead of paper!

Foray into Solids

My son has started a little bit of solid food so far.  I bid a fond farewell to exclusively breastfed poop, which washes right out and does not need to be rinsed.

When babies are older, you can just flip solids into the potty and wash the diaper as usual.

However, if you have been through solids, whether your baby was cloth or disposable diapered, you will feel my pain here.  Sweet potatoes go in and, well, sweet potatoes come out.  Only with an even less pleasant consistency.

So what the heck do you do in that gross, in between stage?  Well, I've heard of quite a few methods.  Some people keep a scraper handy and scrape solids into the toilet and/or "dunk and swish" the diaper in the toilet.  This makes me shudder for many reasons.  One is because of the tablets I use in our toilet tanks to prevent the lovely stain at the water line that reappears hours after I've scrubbed the toilet.  I don't want that junk on my toilet!  Not to mention putting my hand and his diaper in a cesspool of germs.  YUCK!  No offense to those who use this method, it's not for me.

Some people use a diaper sprayer.  It's like a hand held bidet, looks like a hand held shower head kind of.  You have to have a flexible hose on your toilet's water line to attach it.  You then hold the diaper in/over the toilet bowl and use the sprayer to blast the poo off.

This works for lots of people.  They're a little spendy, but if you google you can find instructions to make one with parts from a hardware store for about half as much.

I have a lot of concerns about this though.  I believe it takes some practice to be able to spray without making a big mess.  There is an interesting invention to get around this, but it wouldn't fit in our tiny half bath.

Which brings me to my next concern.  Whatever solution I use, it needs to be on the first floor, since that's where I change most of my diapers.  Our half bath is the bathroom we (including my 4-year old) use most, and the bathroom our guests use.  So I am concerned about there being anything smelly, weird looking, or too tempting in there.  By that I mean, I don't want a curious preschool-age guest flooding my house in a "what's this do" moment.  Then there's always the concern of it failing, since sprayers we have in sinks are not usually under constant pressure.

Which now leads me to my current arrangement.  I have a utility sink in my laundry room.

The sink has a pull out sprayer.

It has normal water flow

That turns into a spray when you push the button on top.

We have kind of lame water pressure overall, but it seems to do OK.

Is spraying my dirties off in here gross?  It's not like we'll be preparing food in here or anything, and doesn't it all end up in the same place?  *shrug* For now, It's working!  Of course this is with my son eating a tablespoon or two of food, when it gets even grosser, I'm sure I'll have to do some pre-scraping, even if I continue to spray in here!

Rumparooz

I was so excited to get the Rumparooz in the lil monster print!!

I was expecting white/silver from the photos online, but it's actually yellow.

I was much anticipating the inner gussets, which I haven't seen on another diaper.

The pocket was easy to stuff with the two included inserts, but also contained the inserts much more easily and nicely than other diapers.  With this one, I don't have to worry about the insert hanging out or touching his skin.  The newborn insert is very nicely contoured, for a great fit on a tiny baby.

I was a little worried because the diaper seemed really tiny.  However, I quickly discovered that the elastic is just gathered much more tightly inside than other diapers. It stretched to the same size as a BG 3.0.

Aside from the inner gussets, the other thing that makes Rumparooz stand out is the Extra Small setting.  They say it will fit at 6 lbs and it is very tiny!

I've had no problems with this diaper.  The "6r soaker" snaps together with the newborn insert/doubler to get a custom absorbency where you need it, but I've kept it simple so far!

Sized or One Size

One of the big questions when looking for diapers is, do I buy sized diapers or one size?

It was pretty easy for me to choose one size.  They do tend to be a bit bulkier because of the snap down rise, but that is worth the convenience to me.  I thought fuzzibunz were annoyingly bulky on the sides in a medium setting, so I would definitely be interested in trying a medium FB.

I stress over clothing sizes as it is.  Sizing isn't consistent from brand to brand, sometimes you need a different size top and bottom, trying to pack up one size & get another out.  It makes me crazy!

Sized diapers tend to be a few dollars cheaper than their one size counterparts, since there is less material used.  I've heard many people say they were able to make due with just small and medium sizes, skipping newborn and going to trainers in lieu of larges.  Still, you're looking at a larger expenditure for sized diapers.

With one size diapers, you can easily switch sizes on the fly, making for simpler diapering of multiple children.  It's also nice to be able to go up a size & add extra inserts for nighttime.

I've also heard people say their size went down as they became more mobile/their body shape changed a bit.  O/S diapers make this more manageable.

Now, one size diapers often say they will fit at 7 or 8 pounds, but do not really fit well until 9 or 10.  If you have a really tiny baby, this can be a problem.  Happy Heinys and Rumparooz have an extra small setting, and a few companies even have a mini one size diaper that will go from birth to 15 pounds or so.  You still have the issue of steering clear of the umbilical cord stump though.  Some people just do disposables for a few weeks.  Rumparooz has a tiny all in one that fits preemie-12 lbs and has a snap down for umbilical cord care.  They have the inner gussets and they are just soooo little and cute.  I don't think I could justify the expense, but I sure do love them!

If you have a very large baby, or a late potty trainer (learner), one size diapers may not take you all the way through either, so keep that in mind!

Peace Bears!

I already have a Happy Heinys Diaper in the silly monkey print.  I loved the peace bears print and was so excited to get it! It's adorable as I expected.

It must be a newer version than the other one I have, because the inserts are slightly contoured, making for a better fit.

Also as expected, it fits wonderfully and trim!

One thing I like about HH over other one size diapers is that they have 4 settings.

Extra Small

Small

Medium

and large

The wide, overlapp-able tabs give you plenty of adjustment.  They also come with snaps, and I'd love to try one.  The laundry tabs on this diaper aren't great, but I have pretty good luck twisting and connecting the tabs as illustrated on their site.

Overall, it's a bit bigger than the Bumgenius 3.0.  I don't have any trouble with this diaper!

Edit August 2010: This doesn't fit my son well and ends up leaking.  It's in my "laundry day diapers" drawer now, but I hope it will fit again when my son grows.

Huuuuuuge giveaway!

This is the best diaper giveaway I've ever seen!  Diaper Junction is giving $300 worth of cloth diaper products.  The winner gets to choose!  That is enough $ to be able to CD full time!



Go enter!  Go go go!

Go with the flow

The best piece of advice I could give for getting started with cloth is to go with the flow. 

People who know me well know how unlike me that really is.  I wish I were easygoing, but I'm just not.  I have to have everything planned, figured out, all scenarios worked through in my head.  It's only been in recent years that I've accepted that I'm wound a little bit tightly and that's OK.

When I thought about starting cloth, I wanted to know exactly what brand to buy, how many,  and how often I would wash.  I wanted to wash, dry, stuff, fold and put away.  I wanted to have some upstairs and some downstairs.  A pail up and a pail down.  Everything neat and in order.  I wanted a stash in the diaper bag at all times.  Now, I just grab a couple as we're leaving, depending on how long we'll be gone, and go with it.  I needed to know exactly what my washing routine would be.  Now, I vary it based on whether they are wet or dirty, how many there are, whether they're stinky and so forth.

As I've been trying new things, my initial intent was to figure out what brand I wanted to stock up on.  I've managed to loosen up and take a different approach.  Instead, I am just trying new things and figuring out what I like best.  If there's something I really like, I will choose that brand if I have a few bucks to spend on diapers, or if there's a really good sale.  If it's not my favorite, it will be at the bottom of the pile, in essence a "laundry day" diaper.

While I was expecting my first child, I was worrying about the teenage years, college and weddings.  So when I was thinking about cloth diapering, I was worrying about solid foods and potty training.   I'm working on a post about solid foods and cloth diapers now, but again, right now I am just doing what works for us.

We're actually using our laundry room as a "diaper pail" right now, either throwing the diapers directly into the washer, or putting them in the utility sink if I am doing other laundry.  If we change one upstairs (usually just one or two a day up there) we just carry it down.  Definitely NOT what my little organized mind wants, but it's working for us!

I am really proud of myself for being able to stick with what works for us right now & not worrying too much about tomorrow.

Biokleen Bac Out

I had noticed that some of my diapers, specifically the BumGenius, had a stinky smell to them.  It seems that "microfiber stink" is fairly common, but the stink I was experiencing wasn't an ammonia or urine smell, it's more of a musty, wet towel smell.

Enter Biokleen Bac Out Stain & Odor eliminator.

I had read up on it online and found it at my local organic market.  It was $7.99 plus tax for a 32 oz concentrated bottle.  The same size bottle without the sprayer was $1.00 less.

Here is the info as listed on the container:

Bac-Out Stain & Odor Eliminator

with Live Enzyme Cultures:

It seems everyone has a Bac-Out story. Bac-Out’s live enzyme-producing cultures attack pet, food and beverage stains, organic waste, and odors until they are gone, digesting them back to nature, safely and naturally. Bac-Out is safe to use around children and pets, even birds.

• Lime Peel Extract cleaning power

• Destroys the toughest odors so they are gone for good

• Excellent for mold and mildew

• Preferred by commercial carpet cleaners nationwide

It seemed a little spendy, but it is a concentrated bottle and it foams when you spray it.  I wish I could capture that in a photo, but I haven't been able to.  I figured if it saved my inserts from stink, it would be well worth it, being cheaper than new inserts!

I sprayed each diaper and insert quite liberally and used a good bit of the bottle. 

I didn't initially realize that I was supposed to soak the diapers after spraying, I washed them right away.  The spray smelled wonderful, a fresh, lime scent, and left the diapers simply smelling clean.

I even sprayed the washing machine itself, hoping it might help with some of the mustiness I've noticed.

I've got my shower curtain liner soaking now, and I hear it is great for pet odors.  I had used Odo Ban for pet odors in the past, but I'm not a big fan of the eucalyptus scent.

I have to wait & see if it does the trick on the diapers!

Edit August 2010: As of today, the only thing I've found that truly takes the ammonia smell out of my microfiber inserts is a dab of bleach.

Yippee!!!

I did some looking and found that Diaper Junction had the Lil Monsters Rumparooz diaper I wanted.  Even better, they had it in the velcro closure, it was $4.50 cheaper and shipping was only $2.05!  I also signed up for their newsletter and got an additional 10% off, yay!  I had some $ in my paypal account to pay for it.

I went ahead and ordered the Rumparooz with snaps in kangaroo print, along with the Planet Wise wet bags I wanted from Kelly's closet.

I found an authorized retailer on Ebay who is selling the Planet Wise wipe pouch I wanted.  Normal price and free shipping.  I'm "watching" it and I really want to buy it before I can't find it anywhere!

I'm excited since I will have a total of 15 diapers (if I'm counting correctly) which means I will only have to wash once per day!  The wet bags etc should make things a bit neater & simpler now as well!

Lil Outlaws Detergent

One of the moms from one of my cloth diaper groups owns lil' outlaws.  She makes/sells diaper safe laundry detergent, cloth wipe solution concentrate, cloth safe diaper cream and more.

She honored my special request and packed my order with smaller portions of five different scents of detergent!  I chose baby bee, butt naked, baby powder fresh, laundromat and midsummer's night. 

My order got here today and the package made my house deliciously smelly before I'd even opened it.  The scents all smell great, though they are very strong smelling in their bags.  They smell heavenly in the washer & after washing though (the smell makes my whole laundry room smell great).  I got the normal strength scent but she also offers heavy, extra heavy, light & extra light.  I've had a bit of a headache this evening from all the new smells, but from my experience with the last bag, the scent will mellow a bit after the bag has been open a while.  I actually suggest that if you "stock up" when you order, store the bags in a closet or drawer that needs some freshening, the bag will do duty as an air freshener until you're ready to use it!

I used the butt naked on diapers tonight, it is fruity & clean smelling.  I don't know what it reminds me of. 

She recommends 1/2-1T for a load in an HE washer, but I use less than half that amount for a smaller load of diapers.  I washed my hubby's coats in the midsummer's night & used more than I needed to make them smell extra good.  There is no soap or suds so there's no risk to your laundry or your washer by using more!  It smells just like the Yankee Candle scent.

The last detergent I bought (Giggles, smells just like Johnson's buddies body wash) is actually only maybe half finished and I've been using it for about 6 weeks. I just couldn't resist some new scents!  I also would like to switch over to using lil' outlaws on ALL of my laundry.  I want to see how it does, but I think it would be much better for our clothes, our skin, our washer and our septic system than the sudsy, chemical laden, gummy liquid kind!

**edit, it is doing awesome on all of our clothes & has even gotten rid of the weird, musty funk smell my 9 month old washer had!  My son's clothes don't have a residual sour milk smell like they did with Method baby either! 

The scent on clothing is very faint after washing/drying (we have soft water AND a water softener) but to me that is good, since you can enjoy the scent you like without worrying about smelling like you bathed in muffins, hee.  I did notice that some scents are stronger than others.

When I put a whole Tablespoon in with my hubby's coats though, the smell was noticeable & wonderful, though everything gets clean with much less.  If you want the smell to stick around more, choose heavy or extra heavy scent.  I would, but I don't know if my nose could take the initial smelliness!**

I'm already making my list of scents for my next order.  Lemon, Amazing Grace, Rice Flower & Shea and Winter Candy Apple.  This yummy detergent sure makes laundry more enjoyable!  Once I find a favorite scent, I plan to figure out what strength works best for that particular scent and stick with it.  However, the scents are so tempting, I probably will keep wanting to try them all!!

I still really want to try her wipes solution, rump rub and pail pardner.  I'm not sure what the pail pardner comes packaged in.  I guess you could put it in a baby powder shaker?  I could definitely see that turning into a giant mess with little ones around though!  I do think I'll wait until I find a favorite scent before I order that, although I will probably end up choosing baby powder for upstairs and lemon or midsummer's night for downstairs!

P.S. Jacklen also offers Gift Certificates!  If you are having buildup, repelling or stink issues, or if you have sensitivity issues and have tried other "green" or "homemade" products, to no avail, please give lil' outlaws a try!  You won't regret it!!

Edit August 2010: This stopped working for me for some reason, I don't know if the makeup of my water changed or what!

Dear Santa,

Dear Santa,

I've been a very good girl this year.  I won't elaborate since you see me when I'm not sleeping and you know when I'm awake rocking someone or tucking someone else in!  As such, I am going to go crazy with my wish list.  Hee hee.

First and foremost, I would like more diapers, so I don't have to wash twice per day anymore!

I have one Blueberry Minky one size diaper in blue latte, but there are so many other styles and patterns I'd like to try!  The Blueberry One-Size Minky Bamboo Velour has a bamboo/organic cotton inner instead of microfleece.  Then there's the Blueberry One Size Bamboo Velour Diaper.  Lastly, there's the Blueberry Deluxe One Size Diaper in snaps and hook & loop.  Microfleece wicks moisture away from baby's skin, but it is man made, and some babies can be sensitive to it.

Some come in snaps only and others come in snaps or hook and loop (velcro applix).  Generally speaking, I prefer velcro for ease of diapering and adjustability, but Blueberry's velcro is apparently super strength!  I have such a hard time getting the tabs off of the laundry tabs, I think the laundry tabs may just rip right off.  However, I would not complain if Santa brought velcro!

The prints I love are:

Blue on Chocolate

Blue/Yellow Dots

Lemon Lime

Blue Pop

Sage on Chocolate

Mint Patties

Winter Sage

My favorites are Sage on Chocolate and Lemon Lime.  I try to choose gender neutral prints but I gravitate towards cute boy stuff!  I don't think any of these are too boyish for a girl, but I'm sure if we ever cloth diaper a girl, I will want to buy all the cute, pink & ruffly cloth diapers too.   Eek now I'm feeling kind of guilty for not CDing my daughter.

I love the monkey print velcro diaper I have.  I would love to try one with snaps, as well as other prints in the velcro.

The monkey print on the left is what I have and love.  My daughter loves it too, she doesn't want me to change her brother when he's wearing it!  The peace bears print on the right is the one I'd most love to have!
 
I think the blue hibscus is adorable and would be great for a boy or a girl.

Of course, I'm a sucker for a cute print, so I like them all!

I am really anxious to try Rumparooz.  My favorites are the Lil Monster and kangaroos, but all of the colors and prints are cute!

There are also several accessories I'd love to have

I am definitely wishing for a BumGenius Diaper Sprayer.  We've just started solids and I'm scared.  Heh.  I was scared of some of my daughter's solid food eating dipes, and she wore sposies!

I have a single, small Planet Wise wet bag, but I am coveting several more types.

Why Planet Wise?  First off, they are PVC free and lead free.  Did you know most zippers are painted with lead containing paint?  Scary!  The bags come in awesome prints and are incredibly functional.  They have a locking zipper and hidden/sealed seams for no wicking.  They can be washed & dried with your diapers, though I hang mine dry, as I also do with my PUL diapers.  You can even use the wet/dry bags or large wet bags as a hanging diaper pail. 

Planet Wise is family owned and has very family friendly employee practices.  Not only do their products replace their disposable counterparts, their packaging is recycled/recycleable, and uses soy based ink.  When your children are no longer in diapers, you can use the bags to transport wet bathing suits, dirty laundry, even use them to separate shoes or toiletries from the rest of your suitcase when traveling.  I'm guilty of using plastic bags for all of these things!

The wet/dry bag would be excellent for storing multiple diapers when we are going to be away from home for more than a few hours.

I like the Geometric Studio

Black Curly Q

and aqua swirl.

I'd also like some medium wet bags for the diaper bag, and a couple of large wet bags to use for after rinsing dirty diapers.  The small bag fits two dirty one-size pockets, but it's a little snug.  The mediums would be a little easier for more than 1 I think. 

I like the blue vista

Black Curly Q

and aqua swirl

I'd also love to have the cloth wipes/pouch and a small squirt bottle for wipes solution in the diaper bag.  I love that you can actually pre-moisten the wipes to take with you, and the bag won't leak or wick!

This is a little off topic but they have this little mini wet dry bag.  How awesome is that.  Very discreet for using mama cloth when out and about.  I've heard ladies say they use small wet bags in their bathrooms as well.

I haven't decided if I want to use a diaper pail or not, but I wouldn't mind a large liner to try out.  I'm interested in one with a drawstring so I can see if it would work in the Diaper Dekor pails I have.

I would like some Thayer's Alcohol Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel to use in my wipes solution.  It is extra soothing to little bums, and can help preserve wipes solution as well.

I'd also like another tube of Grandma El's diaper rash remedy to keep upstairs.

We don't have a chimney, and Santa probably doesn't like Almond Milk, so I'll hang onto this wish list just in case I win the lottery.  :-D  You know, so I don't have to waste any time deciding what to spend the money on.  Hee hee.
