Today I am going to talk about diaper sprayers.
I
have to admit that I did not have a diaper sprayer for the first year
and a half that I cloth diapered. I thought it wasn't that bad not
having a diaper sprayer to be honest. But then when I got one, my whole
life changed. Nothing is easier than having a diaper sprayer! It is
just bam! Done!
When
I didn't have a diaper sprayer I had to dunk, swish, rub, shake and all
that good stuff. I might have stood on my head at one point haha. But
in all reality, diaper sprayers really help everyone.
Not
only do they get the messes out, but I also use them on overnight
diapers. Because your child is in that diaper for so long (sometimes up
to 12 hours for babies that sleep all night) I like to spray out that
pee too. Why might you ask? Because it is already getting to be old
pee. The longer the pee sits, the more it stinks! So, that is why I
spray those.
On
top of it all, I also use the diaper sprayer for my
cloth menstrual pads. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE doing the wet pail. I
think it is SOOOOO gross! I know that is what is recommended,
but if you use the diaper sprayer and spray them down until the water
runs clear, you don't have to do a wet pail for them :-) SO much
easier, in my opinion.
There
is ONE con to diaper sprayers though. That is the mess. You know,
when you don't angle the diaper just right and the water comes right for
your face...and you probably, knowing the luck of moms, have your mouth
open right at that same second....yeah...I am sure you can get what I
am saying from there. So seriously, I found an EASY solution to that
one. All you do is instead of pressing all the way down on the diaper
sprayer, only hold it about half way down. Or, if you are scared still,
flush
the toilet then spray...it will automatically reduce pressure because
it is also filling up the toilet. Oh, and of course, always keep your
mouth closed lol.
To sum it all up, in my opinion, a diaper sprayer is definitely a must have for cloth diapering! Until next time....

Diaper Sprayers a few facts: No Diaper Sprayer on the market was manufactured for that purpose; they are all originally Hand Held Bidet Sprayers. That is why so many people are complaining about their sprayers breaking, because they were not made to handle the abuse. You can save money and buy a cheap plastic sprayer and then need to buy another one soon or you can get a Stainless Steel Sprayer at BathroomSprayers.com for a little more that will last, it comes with a 5 year warranty. Just a thought.....
