Quick answer
A wet bag keeps used cloth diapers contained and odor-free until wash day. Use one for travel or as a diaper pail liner at home.
Choosing between a wet bag and a pail liner
A standard wet bag works best for outings or small loads. A pail liner with an elastic top fits snugly inside a diaper pail or trash can up to 40 quarts, making it ideal for home use. Both are waterproof, but the pail liner's sewn-in closure snaps help seal in odors and allow hanging.
Steps for using a wet bag for cloth diaper storage
- Choose the right size for your use case: For travel or a day out, pick a wet bag that holds 3–5 diapers. For home, use a pail liner that fits your diaper pail or trash can (up to 40 quarts). A pail liner can also double as a large wet bag for trips if you need extra capacity.
- Place soiled diapers directly into the bag: Open the bag or liner, drop in the used diaper, and close the zipper or snap the liner shut. This keeps moisture and odors sealed until wash time. Avoid overstuffing—leave room for the bag to close fully, or odors may escape.
- Wash the bag or liner with your diapers: Empty the bag into the wash, then toss the bag itself in with the load. Use a gentle cycle and avoid fabric softener to keep the waterproof layer intact. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. High heat can damage the PUL coating.
