Okay. There is a whole technique to getting the poop off without a sprayer. It involves folding the diaper backward on itself (inside out essentially) and holding it by the top edges and dunking the messy part into the toilet water. Usually most of it will come off just from multiple quick dunks, but I often find if I flush the toilet and let the diaper sit in the flow of the flushing toilet the suction from the toilet flushing will pull most of the solid waste off the diaper. You have to be sure you have a good grip on the diaper though because the diaper can get sucked down the toilet. I learned this technique when my sister was a baby 30 years ago and have always used it with my babies. That being said, I am considering a diaper sprayer, mostly because I live in an apartment building and the shared washing machines aren’t very good, so I find myself prerinsing diapers in the bathtub and it would be nice to do that in the toilet instead.

I am also debating on getting a diaper sprayer. You can find them pretty cheap on Ebay.

I don’t use a sprayer. I dunk and dunk until it is gone. I wear a glove for the really bad ones to dunk and squeeze until it is completely clean. I never notice a smell and I use a wool wet bag.

I installed mine all by myself…it was daunting to me at first…I was going to ask my dad to do it for me but I thought i would try to learn a lil bit about plumbing…10 min later it was installed no leaks or issues….It is one of the things that have kept me using cloth it is a life saver we love our diaper sprayer! my mom is still intimidated when it comes to changing poopy diapers….but shes going to end up having to do it someday when im not there so she’ll learn!

we definitely do! We love our sprayer! We sometimes use fleece liners too, but sprayers are handy for so much more than just diapers. When DH is working in the garden or outside and is gross and doesn’t want mud/dirt in the sink, I just spray his hands/arms off before he washes That aside, it’s great for cleaning the toilet, and… of course, the diapers!

We use a sprayer to get big poops off little girl’s diapers, though you have to be careful with the pressure or you will end up with a crazy mess. Thankfully, our nursery has a little half bathroom in it, so it makes clean up pretty easy. I imagine spraying will be easier once she has more solid poops.

I didn’t have one with dd but we used liners and thankfully she never had a runny one! We didn’t start CDing her until she was already eating some solids though. When/if we have our next, I will definitely be having dh make us a sprayer for BOTH bathrooms!
