Diaper Sprayers (and a Giveaway!)

Hi! It's Bayla from Soft and Cozy Baby! I want to tell you about one of the best parts of cloth diapering - the diaper sprayer. I LOVE my sprayer! I

also love that I can turn the valve off so my 2 year old can't spray down the whole bathroom!

I have heard people say they would not cloth diaper without a sprayer. So what's the deal? How does it work?

When new parents come in to talk about cloth diapering, one of their first concerns is what to do with the poop. For newborns, their poop is water soluble and you just throw their diapers straight into the wash - no pre-cleaning required. But once they start solids, I always recommend a sprayer! There's nothing like trying to clean peanut-butter-consistency poop out of a diaper!

The diaper sprayer is similar to a sink sprayer except it hooks up to the tubing behind your

toilet. (By the way, this is a great "dad gift" or a way to get dad into the whole cloth diaper thing. There's nothing like telling dad, "I'll pick out the diapers - you hook up the sprayer." They love that!) Plus it's super easy to hook up. It comes with detailed directions. My husband did it in just a few minutes. And hey, if he can do it, anyone can!

You can then use the sprayer to spray all poop remnants into the toilet. Whoever came up with this was a genius!

I now keep my diaper pail in the bathroom. I just carry all wet diapers to the pail. Dirty diapers I spray into the toilet and then drop them into the pail. This way I dont have to carry dripping dirty diapers back into the nursery.

Many cloth diaper brands have put their name on a sprayer that they sell. I found the Sigma Sprayer early on. It works superbly for a much cheaper price! Who can beat that? Name brand is nice - but for a sprayer? Plus I've found the Sigma company great to work with.

Here's what Sigma says about their sprayer:

Here's what we have to offer that you won't see in any of the competitors.

All of our sprayers have a variable flow knob that lets you adjust the spray to your preference, or you can turn it completely off after each time to keep curious toddlers from dousing the bathroom!
