Diaper System 2 Go

I have this amazing job where three doggies (one of whom is in our logo) meander in and out of the office all day.  Thea gets to come with me.  Because one of our office doggies likes to chew garbage, I decided not to give him the temptation of a full baby disposable.

Have you ever cleaned up a dog-shredded once-loaded disposable diaper? No? Take my word for it then ~ it’s totally gross.

Usually our babies have used disposable diapers while out and washables at home.  A friend and fellow washable-diaper-mom, gave me about 40 of these new washables.  (I gave away many extras already; we don’t keep what we don’t need.)

They are all-in-one!  (All the others have used covers with pinned or snapped inside cloths.)

I take four diapers like these,

at least five baby washcloths in the wipe case,

and one spare outfit

all neatly folded in this cute bag.

Oh, not forgetting the wet bag!

We change just before the 35 minute commute.

When it is time to change at work, we use water + the washcloths to wipe, roll up the dirty in the wet bag, and proceed with the day.

At home, we empty the wet bag: rinse any solids off, spray with simple green, and wash with lemon cleaner and detergent.  Easy.

Anyway, that’s how we’re doing diapers this time.

Thanks for reading!

Type at you next time…
