Does this overflow during the rainy season? And (serious but weird part of my question), can you use this for biodegradable baby diapers/liners?

Mine is used in So Cal where rain is all too rare. I suspect it would work with the diapers but would not be able to handle the volume.

The lid prevents filling during rainy seasons. I would not put diapers in it though. Though biodegradable, it takes a long time to actually break down. If you are using diapers/liners, just toss those in the garbage.

I had to uninstall my Dooley because of the smell. There was never a problem with overflow, but I wouldn't try baby diapers in it. Not enough room, even with the big one.

I've heard it works extremely well with cloth diapers. A friend used liners just the same. I can't speak of it myself.

you can use other liners with Alva diapers such of Bummis Bio-Soft Liner, Large. I have used them for over a year, along with other brands. disposable liners make cleaning up mess diapers easier.

Not exactly sure, but what I like about the liner is that it is elastic at the top so it should fit over just about any diaper pail or hamper. I have 4; 2 to interchange for the baby's room and 2 for our master bath because my hubby is a sweater when he works out! The liner conceals the wetness and oder which is great and you can wash and dry them each time. Mine still look new! I would just check the dementions of the pail (primarily the length) with that of the liner. Hope it works! Very satisfied with our purchase!

We use the Planet Wise liners. I will say that now that we have been using this for just over 2 years, it has been great, but if we wait longer than every other day to do diaper laundry now that our son has more inserts in his diapers, the lid does not close all the way - it's not a big deal to us, because we keep it next to the washing machine in the laundry closet, and we do diaper laundry at least every third day, and usually every other day. Just wanted to let you know. Also, the little hole on the top became pretty useless after our son was out of newborn diapers. http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Wise-Reusable-Diaper-Avocado/dp/B003XSEV2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405605929&sr=8-1&keywords=diaper+pail+liner

Hi! I use bum genius organic all in one. These inserts are great. They seem big initially. U cant place it between the two inner linings but u can lay it on top and the diaper can contain it. Its pretty much the diameter of the entire diaper and is a touch longer but I prefer that because sometimes the snaps on the diaper roll in and pushes on babys belly so this is a nice cushion. I made it work and it keeps baby dry at night. A little bulk y for daytime use though.

Yes, but they are on the small side for me. I love and highly recommend GroVia's liners if that is your need. These are better for adding a staydry layer between the diaper fabric and your baby's bum.

Absolutely. You will be able to feel it when it gets damp. It holds a lot so I wouldn't worry about messes. I did it all the time when mine wore diapers.

I had no leaks. I agree with trying different folds. When I was new to cloth diapering, I found that leaks were almost always caused by my folding techniques. Trifold is the easiest but does not contain blowouts.

Its not on the top of diaper. I used it over the underwear when I did potty training. It does not absorb the water. Suppose if there is an accident and he does it through his underwear this water proof pants will hold it for a little time so that its not a mess in your house. But this water proof does not hold it for too long as they dont absorb the water. Within few minutes after noticing that my son made an accident I immediately took him in to the bath rub.

I don't think that has happened to me. We live in Florida and get heavy rain at times. It seems sturdy to the point that the bin will not come apart, and our is not full enough to be close to spilling over. I think it drains pretty well.

I use two soakers under the material that is in the diaper. My son is now 18months and we use these for bed time, they make it most nights with out leaking! Would buy again in a heart beat! Only down fall is that they do tend to hold the urine smell and need to have an extra rinse or a vinegar boost every 3-4 washes.

My son hasn't ever wet so much that he's leaked around the diapers before we changed him. The covering is machine washable, so we can throw that in the wash, but when he was really young, we didn't buckle him in, as he was really small and tucked so far down the "bucket" of the seat. We covered that area with a folded hospital receiving blanket, so he wasn't sitting directly on a hard buckle. I suppose you could put one of those down around the bottom area if you're concerned.

You do have to smoosh it a bit, not a lot. I can imagine that a really messy diaper could leave some remnants on the rim that can get on your hands on your next use. That hasn't happened to me. I also have a Cosco diaper pail that you step on like a regular garbage can and drop the diapers in. I think it might have a carbon filter on the lid, but it does not help with odor control at all.

I've used it to line a hanging diaper bag for cloth diapers. It gets washed about twice a week n and I've had about four months. No sign of wear yet.

My baby was able to use them until he was one month old. When he was newborn the diaper was too big and it leaks!

Hi Megan- I also bought these to use over my child's underwear at bedtime, as he is fully potty trained in his conscious hours. Unfortunately, they did NOT keep the wetness in. They leaked pretty much every night. If the elastic around the thighs and stomach are tight enough to hold back wetness, then they hurt him. If they were remotely comfortable, they leaked. These are basically useful for those kids who are almost making it to the potty, but needs those few extra seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck.
