Hi all, I am just so lost as to what to get for a diaper pail and what detergent, I notice that everyone uses everything from the free and clear detergents to sensiclean. I would just like to see if there is something that is more of general consensus and also if I should get a special pail or use a rubbermaid. I am planning on dry pailing.

thanks for your help!

We just use a diaper champ because we received one in a shower. However, if I were to purchase one, I would get something with a larger opening in the top.

As for detergent, we just use regular old Tide!

I'm using a Sterillite pail (one-touch to open the top) and

it. Got it at Target at $11 I think. It's 13 Gal and holds 3-day worth of prefolds and wipes.

If I could purchase again, I probably will go with the same size pail, but with step instead. That way I can keep my hands free. I think Rubbermaid has one of those pail at Walmart.

I have the bunny pail. you know, the white one with a space for a deodisk in the lid? It's abnout a 3 gallon. I had a foot pedal garbage can too, but I broke the foot pedal this morning, so it is no more.
As for detergent, I use store brand perfume free detergent.

High 5, Jyanla! I'm using a Sterilite pail with a touch-to-open lid, too.

I am thinking about getting a pail with the foot thingie on it. Even though I keep my left hand on my baby girl, I have to lean down to open the pail. It would be a tad easier to have a lid which is foot operated.

As for detergent, I use Tide.

I too use the sterilite with the touch lid. Where would I find a bunny pail? I like the idea of haveing a place for the deo disk. I currently tape one to the top inside of the lid but it always falls down.

I use regular Tide

I have a 54 qt pail that I think I got from Babies Under Wraps.

I alternate between Bi-o-kleen, my homemade detergent, sun and earth and all free and clear...lol

Um, I bought mine at WalMart. I think that it cost me all of $5. http://www.diaper-eez.com/images/diaperpail.jpg
Apparently they sell it at TRU and BRU too. I found it online, but everyone is charging $15 for it, which is a bit of rip off. It is just the plain white pail, with a bunny on it. Made by Elfe.

I am going to go buy a new one today. I am a bit bitter at my foot-pedal can.

Is the bunny pail with the garbage cans? Or with the baby stuff?

It's in with the baby stuff. It should be right around the other diaper pails.
