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!

Very interesting and amusing subject. I read with great pleasure.

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.

I just have to say that I LOVE my diaper sprayer!
We got it not for the CD’s but for potty training. My son is 22 months and in the middle of training. It is fabulous for rinsing out a poopy potty without having to touch any poo – a very big deal for daddy:)
It’s great on our cloth diapers too, but REALLY great for the potty…

I swear by my diaper sprayer! It’s not hard to install, I did it myself in 5 minutes. The poo that doesn’t fall into the toilet gets sprayed off and if you hold the diaper right there is no mess on the sides of the toilet. LOVE IT and couldn’t live without it.

So funny reading the blog today. I also just came home with a diaper sprayer today. I hummed and hawed for 17 months and finally gave in as all we get is peanut butter poo and with a low flush toilet, I was getting it everywhere anyway. And drip, drip, drip to the diaper pail cause our bathroom is too small to have one in there. I do keep a small pail under the sink now to pop the diaper in to transport to reduce the drips.
I think it will take getting used to and installing took 6 easy minutes. I agree, if it is too annoying for the diaps, at least it will be great for rinsing the tub and cleaning out the potty when the time comes.
Love your blogs! It keep me going with cloth!!

no, I don’t dunk right now. And when the time arrives to dunk it isn’t a real “dunk”. I shake it off, then use toilet paper if necessary. All else gets washed off in the pre-wash.

I love the diaper sprayer, I made one myself and installed it myself, it took 5 minutes all together to install. I don’t soak the diaper so much so that when I’m done it drips to the diaper pail. If I had to dunk it it would be just as soaking wet…I’d rather have a semi dry diaper sitting for a few days to wash it. Do you dunk the diaper now?
