    Default good diaper pail liner?? (update #8)

    any recommendations??

    i've been previously using Mommy's Touch pail liners in the kids rooms . Within only a few months, the waterproof lining started separating and bunching up in places. Now, it's at the point where it's almost completely come off and it's unusable. I did put them in the dryer along with the diapers to dry them, not sure if this contributed...

    Any recommendations on what to get? I need to get two of them (one each for DS and DD's room).

    I know you can't put them in the dryer! I used Bummies Tote Bags and another brand I got off Amazon, maybe Planet Wise?

    I think I have the planet wise ones. I liked them. They came highly recced by diaper pin reviews.

    Another vote for the Planet Wise liners
    I have put them in the dryer a few times, but try to always hang to dry.

    I put all of mine in the dryer on high and after 2 years they still look great. I think I have a whammies and a blueberry? I'll have to check the brands when they come out of the laundry.

    so i got some of the Planet Wise ones and have been using them for a week. Unfortunately, they don't seem to working out at all. They seem way worse than my previous ones (and those were falling apart!). Maybe I am doing something wrong?

    1) when i go to get the diapers from the kids rooms (only 2 days worth of diapers each), the OUTSIDE of the bags are WET. more than just a little damp. is this normal? it seems like the inside lining should prevent water from getting to the outside (if not, might as well use cloth bag?)

    2) The bags seem to really hold on to soap residue in the wash. i just finished washing the diapers & bags, went to get the bags out, and they are covered in detergent..like, huge chunks! This is horrible because i the last thing i want is more detergent getting stuck in my diapers!! If i have to spend 5 minutes after every wash rinsing off each bag under water, that's nuts.

    3) I tried hang drying them, and even after 12 hrs they're still decently wet. I tried drying on low and then hang drying, still wet.Should i just dry on high?

    I ordered TWO bags in different colors from different vendors on amazon, so it doesn't seem like i got defective ones. any ideas?

    I've purchased mine from Snap-EZ. Two of them I've had for 5 years, the third I bought when DS was born, so 3.5 years ago. I always put them in the dryer, and they still work just as well as when they were brand new (my kids are in night diapers, so they've been in constant use since I bought them).

    Now that I only wash every 4ish days, the outside of the bag is quite damp, and there is condensation inside the diaper pail. When I washed every other day, I didn't have that problem. How often are you washing? Sorry you are having so much trouble is there a satisfaction guarantee on them or anything?
