Sprayer

Do you think diaper sprayers are necessary? I use liners but they don't always catch everything. If you use a sprayer, does it leave your diapers soaking wet? Is it messy? What brand works best? Tia!!

Honestly....I would not have even considered cloth diapers if not for the sprayer. I'm sure it can get messy, but I have never had a problem. It's a very controllable spray and does a great job of getting pretty much all the nasties off my diapers. Love my sprayer!!

No, it doesn't leave our diapers overly wet and I much, much prefer it to liners. It's the best way to get the poo out. We have a DIY sprayer...much cheaper than a commercial one and it works very well.

Thanks ladies. I like the BumGenius sprayer but it's pretty expensive. Maybe we can make one. It looks pretty easy from what I've seen.

I always intended in getting a sprayer, but haven't needed one yet. (Were 9 months in) if the poop isn't plopable, I just lay the diaper face down in the toiled for 5-10 minutes. (Think how if your kids forget to flush its turned to mush when you find it) By the time I come back, everything falls off when I lift out the dry end. I have a pail by the toilet so I'm not dripping water everywhere. I definitely don't list it on my list of "must haves"

They are certainly not necessary however I much prefer having one. I CD my first child with no sprayer and got one off ebay ($20) on a whim with my 2nd and it just made everything SO much easier. We have it set up in our basement bathroom with a paint bucket next to the toilet. It is not messy and is very easy to use.

I have a BG sprayer & a .88c spatula from Wal-Mart. I love the spatula. My baby drinks Elecare thickened with Simply Thick so his poo is very hard to get off. The spatula is my lifesaver.

I completely understand! My son is 2 1/2 and still on Neocate Jr only. My sprayer is such a huge help.

I cloth diapered my older girls with out a sprayer & they were on Neocate, too. I just did dunk & swish and it wasn't a problem. But I have a sprayer (the Bumgenius one) now for my son & it's such a huge help. I think you can definitely cloth diaper with out a sprayer but if it's possible, I'd recommend to get one.
