renee, do you have the bum genius diaper sprayer? if so you adjust the strength by turning the handle down by the hose attachment.

OK he is not a brain surgoen. It is not that difficult to rinse a dirty diaper. I had to use them with my son, poor little guy was alergic to everything I put on his behind. Now I have a grandchild they chose to use disposable, my prayers are with them. My oldest is now prego and due in a few weeks she wants to use cloth diapers. she plans on making them all herself (grandma will be helping) hence the reason I am on this web page. OK back to the original subject. I shook off the chunks flushed the toilet, I then rinsed the diaper in the toilet just as my mother did with my diapers. The toilet was cleaned and santized after. The diapers were then washed in hot water, with Tide and bleach. then rinsed twice and hung on the close line in all kinds of weather. The doctor told us to have the diapers in the sunlight for at least a day to kill remaing bacteria. Perfectly healthy bumb after with never an issue. Sprayer may be nice but not necessary.

I recently just tried our sprayer for the first time and it was an awful experience. That video looked very pleasant compared to my experience. I guess I didn’t hold the diaper far enough down into the toilet because poop went EVERYWHERE. The spray is just SO strong… and little bits went all over the toilet bowl, ground, on my pants and all around. “Peanut butter” poop. Now if I could find a way to adjust the spray power I might venture to try again. But I’m not a “handy” gal and it doesn’t look adjustable to me.
P.S. this is my first time posting… I LOVE this blog… never thought I’d ever read a blog, but cloth diapers are my new love. Thanks for an awesome site.

you’ll cut the guy some slack? That’s a woman!! At 2 seconds in, she bends down to pick up the sprayer. See, long hair. woman!!! the guy is behind the camera. He’s closer to the microphone, that’s why his voice sounds louder! lol.

I am installing one this weekend. I have a one year old with very peanut butter poop and I am sick of letting it sit in my toliet soaking and scraping. Yes they do still wash in the washer but god it would save me time to just spray it off. I also have to say that even when I scrap in the potty now it can still splash dirty water so I think thats a givin ladies. I am also due in 6 weeks with another boy and I want ease. Sorry but thats the real reason anything for a little ease please:)

We had one with my first, and I liked it until it started leaking where it connected to the plumbing, leaving water puddled on the bathroom floor. We tossed it after that. Now I’m expecting my second, and wondering if it’s worth trying again – perhaps we had a faulty one?

We love our homemade sprayer! I googles directions for a DIY diaper sprayer, printed out the instructions, made a Home Depot run for less than $20, and DH had it installed in less than 10 minutes. The only issue we have had is my 3 1/2 yo ds thinks it is fun to spray it into the tub next to the toilet!

I just installed my diaper sprayer three days ago (by myself and it took about 10 minutes – I am no handy-woman either. The time was mostly taken up by my indecision on cutting the hose to length). The first time I turned it on was hilarious. I had the sprayer pointing up (duh) and “washed” the whole bathroom. I adjusted the spray power and pointed it in the toilet. I have loved it ever since. My daughter is 5 months old and new on solids. Her diapers are a mess. I took an old kitty litter pail and placed next to the toilet to hold the wet diapers after they have been sprayed off. This is the best solution I have found to work with my front loader. Poopy diapers are a mess. The diaper spayer has been very helpful once I figured a system out.

I am all for the diaper sprayer. I have found a way to use it that when it splashes, it splashes into the toilet. I also clean my bathroom (usually) daily, and would even if I did not have a diaper sprayer. My son has had the “peanut butter poo” for months now, and there are times that NOTHING gets it off except spraying it. I am talking when I clean my son, I have to either sit there and scrub his bottom until he cries or give him a bath. That stuff is impossible to wipe out of the diaper, impossible to swish out of the diaper (which I think is actually far more disgusting then spraying it… even though I keep my toilet pretty clean, I don’t like the idea of dipping his diaper in it), and impossible to shake off. I truly wish this was not the case and I could just shake the diaper off, but that is not the case. The diaper sprayer is the ONLY reason I have been able to continue CD through the last several months. I personally think the $50 I spend of the sprayer was better then the $400+ I would have spent on disposables, especially since he started having these horrible bowl movements within a month of me spending around $300 on CD.
