what do I need for a nappy bucket?

[Arimeh]

Is it for disposable nappies or cloth nappies?

We use the nappy buckets that you buy from Big W for our cloth.

But when we were using disposables, we just used a cheap HUGE garbage bin and chucked it in the room where the kitty litter is so all the bad smells were in the one room

It's for cloth nappies of various types (at least until I settle what kind works best for us), waiting to be washed.

For my cloth I have three nappy buckets from Big W - and they fill within 2 days - so I wash every 2 days.

I don't like a bigger bucket than those ones cos I rinse my nappies of a night time and carry them from the bathroom to the laundry - and it gets bloody heavy.. lol

I got mine from Kmart. It needs to have good sealing lid, as there will be a smell. You might also like to get some citrus circles - they go inside the bucket to help with the smell. If you google them you will find a couple of online stores that sell them.

I went to the local Asian $2 shop, they had buckets with lids for about $6.
i also fill in 2 days and wash every 2nd day - but only one bucket, i then top up the machine with the waterproof matt that she has no nappy time on and bibs and other bits of clothing... dont think my machine would cope with 3 buckets full - whoa i dont envy your washing loads Mel

i got well and truly ripped off at a baby store in canberra with mine LOL!

well i guess it works, but you know, it could be any bucket with a snap lid really...

we fill ours every two days with one in cloth. we generally dont soak so we rarely have the lid on (mostly because, as part of being ripped off, the lid is almost impossible to get on and off LOL!).
