Hello Again Gals! :-)
Well, after diapering babies #1 and #2 in disposables, I am Cloth Diapering for the first time with baby #3. So here I am again... back on this helpful board with my second question! Thank you for being patient with me! :-)
After perusing the older posts in the Cloth Diaper Thread, I read that the recommended Diaper Pail for CDing is a Sterilite Brand Flip Top lid trash can.
Unfortunately, I have looked all over for this darn trash can, and can't find it anywhere (and my swollen pregnant tootsies are starting to get the better of me--LOL!). When I went to Target--where others have reportedly purchased this particular trash can--the customer service gal told me that the Sterilte brand has been discontiued. Was she just out of her mind? What gives? I didn't see much of it online either, so maybe she's right? Are others finding the Sterilite brand somewhere else?
I understand that the traditional diaper pails sold in baby stores do not usually work well with cloth diapers (since the size of the opening is smaller). So I am at a loss. I definitely need to have something with a lid/top or I will run into trouble with my curious puppy dogs who like to sniff around and "discover" things (ewwww, yuck, I know!).
Do any of you have any suggestions on where to find the Sterilite container, or about other brands of diaper pails/trash cans that would be appropriate for CDing and easily available locally? I would prefer not to have to order something on the web, since the shipping would be ridiculous for such an awkward-sized package, but I suppose I *could* do that if it's my only option.
Would appreciate any helpful suggestions and/or clarifications you gals might offer.
Thanks SO much for your ideas! I am so glad I found this board! :-)
