Diaper Station and Dirty Diaper Station

When I started cloth diapering it just kinda happened, it was a spontaneous move in order to stop my daughters diaper rashes. I didn't know how to store our clean diapers nor our dirty diapers. I searched the web day and night for the best way to do both. I am a visual person, so it really helped me to be able to actually see what other people are doing. So I thought I would share what we do in our house.


 I became a cloth diaper nut and ended up with tons of Gdiapers, Bumgenius 3.0 and Flips. Not to mention a ton and half of inserts.
Here's what we have:
 9 Gdiapers
12 Bumgenius 3.0
5 flips
12 Gcloths
14 Fuzzibunz inserts
12 Gerber Organic prefolds (these I love! they are thin but very absorbent)
5 Gerber prefelds
15 insert socks for our Fuzzibunz
3 rolls of diaper liners to catch the poo
20 cloth diaper liners (great if you have to use rash cream or if your child has a yeast infection)
2 planet wise wet bags

Dirty diaper storage:

After a diaper change we through all the dirty pieces into the washing machine. At the end of the day we do a cold prewash to rinse out all the pee and poo that may be on the inserts or covers. After the prewash we throw them into a bucket with a lid we picked up at Lowe's for $5, sprinkle some baking soda in there to keep remaining smell down. Doing a cold prewash every night has not increased our water bill at all, alot of people are worried that cloth diapering will cause an increase in their water bill, but honestly we have not seen any difference. We do a cold prewash each night of that days diapers and wash every 3-4 days (we wash in hot water with 1/4 cap of Arm and Hammer laundry soap from Babies 'R' Us, extra rinse on hot)

Alot of people invest in wet bags and diaper pail liners, but honestly, Ive tried using wet bags, and we still ended up with a smelly laundry room. I decided to start doing prewashs at night because the longer the dirty diapers sit there soaked with pee and poo, the more smell you are going to have.

Using Gdiapers, we store the snap in liners and cloth outer cover in a mesh washing bag. The liners have to be washed in cold to help protect the waterproof coating. We wash the liners and outer covers with towels or even our laundry. Hang dry the snap in liners, if you put them in the dryer, it will ruin the waterproof coating.
