Ok I just have one more question for my coucil submission. If you use disposables, do you flush poos down the loo first or wrap it all up in the nappy and chuck it? Thanks...  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Wrap it in nappy and chuck it. And usually wrap in another plastic bag as well... which means longer time to break down (add an extra couple of hundred years) 
They had an article on mondern cloth in the Dom Post Weekender today. I was stoked that they'd put it in the paper but it didn't have any photos!!!! (only a cartoon of a baby wearing a printed nappy) And the only brand he mentioned was an australian one which he was complaining about leaking! I think it could have been done better. Tempted to write and tell them. |

I'm the same - wrap it up and put in the nappy bin. (which is sangenic - just with a rubbish bag, not the fancy thing!!) ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

We have a rubbish bin (pedal one) in the porch that only nappies go into (with poos inside). I only put them in the plastic bags when I'm putting them in someone else's bin. The nappy bin gets emptied into the wheely bin every 2-3 days when it gets full. I used to used a supermarket bag in the nappy bin as a liner, but can't make time for that at the mo, (and do we need more plastic bags at the tip?) - maybe later I'll do this again.

I flush them then put the nap in a nappy only bin in my wash house. I find the bin less smelly that way. Also I have a deoderiser in the bin for make it smell better too. ------------- Marlene Keegan ~ 14 October 2003 Jaidyn ~ 14 October 2003 |

i cant believe how many people dont flush the contents. frankly i am shocked...
when i first started using cloth i used to get annoyed at all the clothies saying that disposable users dont flush the nappy contents. i thought how judgmental of them, of course people flush the contents. After all i certainly did and it does say to on the packets. Now newborn poos i understand cause theres no way they come off the nappy, but the rest....and that sits around your houses for a couple of days...  eeewwww

we got a rubbish hole on the farm and whenever a grocery bag is full it goes down with david before milking. One advantage of not living in town I guess ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

it doesnt stink your house if you put it straight outside which I would do it I flushed or not. Thats one of the main reasons I used disposable because I dont flush, if I did then might as well use cloth. ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

Thanks again I jsut wanted to put something in about the majority of people chucking rather than flushing, and the effects of raw human waste at landfills etc etc... ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I used to just chuck them in a Nappy Sack (yep the lovely scented ones) and chuck them in the outside bin. If I had used disposables full time I might have invested in a Sangenic, but it wasn't worth it for 1-2 disposables a day.
I did flush the liners from the cloth nappies tho  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I've never read the nappy packet. Dunno if the bin smells or not - I can barely smell the poos now, except if it's a bum that needs changing.
Our outside bin is out of the sun. I think the wheely bin smells though. Rosie |

I know I don't use them yet but....I was surprised to discover that you are meant to flush because I knew NO ONE who did....we're wanting to invest in one of those squirter things that attach to the loo...my friend has one so it is really easy to squirt, rinse then put the nappies in the wash or I imagine the rubbish if using disposables. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was completely unaware about flushing with disposables?!?!? Ah well.. now I know.
They just seem to stick so much more to the sposie stuff than the microfleece of a washable! |

i wrap them up and chuck them in the wheelie bin outside.
i would use cloth if they weren't so expensive to buy up front, i wanted to use nap nap's but, although in the long run cloth is cheaper, i don't have 300 odd bucks to spend at once. ------------- Mum to Tiger-Lily D.O.B 07/05/05 |
