This IS a clear winner; The best way to clean cloth diapers is to pre-rinse them off in the toilet using a Hand Bathroom Bidet Sprayer. So convenient and if you are trying to help the environment (and your pocket book) you can give it a double whammy by virtually eliminating toilet paper use by using it on yourself also. I’m not sure how many people know this but that is what they were originally created for. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: “if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn’t wipe it off with paper, would you? You’d wash it off” Available at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com they come in an inexpensive kit and can be installed without a plumber. Now we’re talking green and helping the environment without any pain. One review: http://jonathanandandrea.blogspot.com/2009/04/spray-it-or-scrub-it.html

Thanks for the great perspective, Lori. More can be learned about “The Politics of Diapers” at www.mothering.com – it’s an interesting read.

I read that article and very quickly wrote them a letter about it. I feel that they doing a very big injustice to many parents who are searching for answers. How absurd to publish a topic such as this that is completely sponsored by Huggies. What a shame. Great blog post, by the way.
