When you are trying to figure out what kind of diapers to get, it seems like there are a million different accessories you can buy. Each accessory has a very specific purpose. Some of those products have a wide audience and others have a narrow application. So, here is what we would recommend as the basics for most families.
- At a minimum, you need a diaper pail. A plastic trash bag will work as a liner, but it isn't the most environmentally friendly choice available. We recommend a washable diaper liner (the Bummis Totes are great) and deo-disks to cut down on pail odor.
- Cloth baby wipes are absolutely essential. When you are changing a diaper, the wipes usually end up on top of or inside of the dirty diaper. It makes no sense to be trying to keep the wipes separate just so you can throw them in the trash can. If you use cloth wipes, the whole pile just ends up in the diaper pail.
- A wipe warmer is a nice thing to have. It keeps your wipes warm, wet and ready to use near your changing area. As an alternative, consider a bottom cleaner like bumGenius Bottom Cleaner.
