Most people today prefer a hanging bag to a bucket, but both work. It’s enough to have a large container for wet diapers until washing day. You can carry a waterproof bag with you when you are out and about to store wet nappies.
Boosters
Nappy Boosters are reusable pads that you can use inside your nappies to increase their absorbency. They are handy, and hemp or bamboo fiber nappy boosts provide the best absorbency.
Disposable Liners
Disposable nappies liners are optional but valuable, particularly when your child reaches weaning age. These liners can be used to catch solids in your nappies and thrown away.
