i was thinking the laundry area was better - i can still have a wet nappy bucket at other end of house.... love living in a big house cept that it's rather long and makes things seem further away than they need to be. can't believe hubby isn't even trying to work out the LS - at least it's a few months before we need it - another job to add to the list of "bro can you help me?" jobs!
think about it logistically.:
every time you change bubs, where will you be?
will you go to where the change table is to do it?
which loo is closest to the spot you will do the changing at?
i would put the LS there, and nappy bucket, cos the amount of times you change bubba is HIGHER, than the amount of times you put a load of nappies on.
so i'm thinking in my head
i go to nursery X times a day, to change the nappy, then LS the nappy, they pile up in the bucket (in the loo)
but i only take the nappy bucket to the laundry ONCE a day
every household is different
depends where you keep your buckets too
e.g in an ensuite, do you have room for a bucket next to the loo?
or i suppose a space compromise, could be a large wetbag, pail liner type wetbag, on a hook on the loo door?
i could not imagine LS-ing the nappy in the loo, and then carrying it to another room where the nappy bucket was (drips everywhere).
i've thought about, if i lived in a place with no room for traditional nappy bucket, i think i would buy a slimline kitchen tidy bin, so rectangular rather than round, to solve the problem.
we're in a tiny place, but the loo room is wide enough to have a trad. nappy bucket by it's side (exactly fits!).
for some people, having the nappy bucket in the laundry is not possible, they need access to that trough.
i've seen other people's laundry, where the laundry is so big and well set out, they have the changetable setup there, a cupboard for the nappies, and very close to laundry sink for washing hands.
BG, I keep nappy bucket in the toilet next to the LS. It gets carried into the laundry when I do the wash. Nappy gets taken from change table to toilet and gets LS'd and dry-pailed immediately, so in my case I have the LS in the bathroom closest to E's room. Different people do what works for them, but in my case, it is much more difficult to carry a dripping rinsed nappy from the toilet to the nappy bucket in the laundry every time I change a nappy, than to just drop the dripping nappy into the bucket next to the LS and then take it into the laundry once every two days.
HTH!

i think the laundry one might be better - we have a wide laundry with a low shelf right at the door where bucket can live - it is literally right beside the toilet door - i don't think i'd keep nappy bucket in the loo, but it would take nothing to move bucket back and forth to the loo for the LS job.... our ensuite isn't bad size, but bad design at the moment (bring on the shed - shed = start of all the big jobs! new kitchen, new bathroom! woot!). if i forgot to grab it, it would literally be two backward steps and swing sideways to find the bucket. i think it would depend on what was happening at the time as to where bub gets changed - i've always been someone that will change a baby wherever they need to be - lounge room is warmer/cooler during summer, so more likely to be down there (in which case the laundry/loo is closer to ensuite)
arrrrrrgh! too muhc to think about!
Maz Hun - one cheetah starbunz on it's way to you babe!
We have a massive laundry, which is only a couple of steps away from the main toilet. So our nappy bucket is in the laundry. It's what works for us. We have a tall, slimline kitchen bin type style for a nappy bucket.
Cograts Ali on another pink baby!!
My LS is in the 'kids' loo right near the laundry...i usually leave a wet trail cause im lazy with abucket :rolleyes:
Ali honey..im sorry you didnt get the boy you wanted but no doubt your princess will be as welcomed as a boy would have been. Congrat's on your delightful news hon :)
For those who are interested......https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...t1621360...and thats all I gotta say on that (echoing Forest Gump)
OOh, Maz, you're evil. ;)
It was raining this morning so I hung up all my nappies inside and now I'm too lazy to cart the full clothes horse outside, plus it'll probably rain more later which means I'd have to rush out and bring it back in, or that's my excuse anyway.
Kitt3n, if you want to cut up your own raw silk liners you can go somewhere like Fairy Fabrics and buy it there in 50x50cm (nappy cut) pieces. Or maybe another nappy fabric site will have it in bigger lots.
if you have an overlocker you could make silk likers easy, me I hate hemming and have no overlocker so haven't bothered lol
Aw Ali congrats on a little girl! *big hugs*
congrats Ali :D
well i am getting a full refund on the nappy sprayer, after numerous emails...and a mention of CA.....
I have a heap of nappies to re-rinse as i am still in my jim jams....
WOJB ~ IB of some colour....
DH is in love with new nappies (esp the Iishflies)
i'm devastated though - the one i really wanted in the first place (the reason i ended up there) ended up not being available
sooky la la moment here!
when i eventually get the LS i'll put it in the toilet downstairs which is right next to the laundry. bucket wont fit in it thou but it can sit under the sink which is right outside the door...we dont have a change table so i jst change him wherever.
just out of curiousity, how many wetbags do u own?! we hardly go out atm so 1 is more than enough but want to now for future reference
qn re moogoo- would the msm soothing cream b ok to use all over baby's body? or would it be better to use the trad udder cream? also, would it be safe if he puts it in his mouth?!
kat - yes i dod et my snake, and I LOVE it! I'll punk it up when it fits her i think!!!
got a big box of fluff from booroi this morning, and went back on and ordered some more things, including that little kimono how cute
ali - conrats on the pink!!!!!!!!! :dance:
to everyone re silk liners - i have meailed babysoft landings to see if i can pre order soem as they arent in stock. failing that i will call my aunt to see if she would mind overlocking some for me (stitching challenged you see, i am lucky to get a button on straight)
gigi and suse - with the sugarpeas, i meant the hemp fitted ones, i think i;ll grab some to try anyway (only $16!) i think the snap in ones look really high in the rise?
WOHB - bbb/lovey bums crepe wool cover
Congrats Ali! :hug:
BG - I have 2 loos one near James' room(main bathroom) and a loo off the laundry so I carry all nappies from his room to the laundry to put in my pail so I will get the LS installed in there. I don't find it hard to carry the nappy from where I have changed him to the laundry and the loo is right off there so that will work for me. I guess eveyrone is different and finds different ways to use everything. I guess the LS is meant to be easy to install so you could always move it if you found it wasn't working for you??
DH is home! :leap: SOOOO excited to have him back and also so he can start using cloth full time too! I have loads to teach him and hopefully he will quickly see the need for more!
WOJB: Choc Haute
