Air keeps the smell at bay
So there is this misconception, that keeping cloth diapers all sealed shut will keep us from smells. Not so.... Urine itself along with fabric fibers especially non natural ones like polyesters, will put an ammonia smell out like you can't imagine. The older the kids get the stronger the smell. And you don't even need to wait more than a day for ths to happen.... So the more I tried to suffocate the smell, the worse it became. Frustrated, I was tipped off by the science explanation of it which made perfect sense and decided to try it. I would try to paraphrase it all, but I'm sure it wouldn't come out right, so just trust me. Anyway, open air method causes the diapers to not marinate so to speak. By sealing them, we are essentially steam cooking our diapers in the natural acid. By leaving them open the air keeps that from happening. Just to experiment, I tried a few for almost a week. Even by that time still no smell. If you put your nse right up to it, maybe you could get barely a whiff. If you are still concerned tho, there is a swatch of terry cloth attached inside that you can use tea tree oil or any other oil as a neutralizer. The only thing I find comical is that this bag and the Fuzzi Bunz bag are exactly and I mean exactly the same. The difference, fuzzi bunz is in th US with great customer service while Charlie Banana is in China and difficult to reach. Both function the same, just more color options here... This is the perfect solution for a cloth diaper pail. Keep n mind that those of you who soak, dunk or completely rinse vs. spray off you will most likely get leaking at the bottom with the zipper. The zipper is made for quick dumping into the laundry. Personally I don't use it because I'd rather push the diapers inside out and have the bag wash inside out as well. If you do soak and dunk, I would recommend a thick towel at the bottom to cover the zipper and deter leaks.

So far, so good
We're three weeks in to life with a newborn and are still doing more disposables than reusables - easing into the cloth nappy life. I have this bag hanging on a doorknob next to the changing table. Really convenient spot, and no problem with popping dirties in. Because I'm only using a couple reusables a day, I only wash about every three days and have had no problems with smells (baby is exclusively breastfed though). The side zip makes it fairly easy to unload into the washing machine (even with a front-loader).I dislike the huge logo so have just hang it backwards and as the door is white it blends in. I was originally looking for something that would suit the natural / mustard / ochre shades of the nursery but that seemed very hard to find and white is working nicely.

Durable and works well in dekor plus
I like using this wet bag for cloth diapers. It is durable. I use it in the diaper dekor plus and it fits well. I would guess it fits about 9 or 10 dirty cloth diapers plus wipes without bulging in the dekor too much. We use Charlie Banana cloth diapers. At that point, itโs about time to wash diapers. It would hold a lot more If just hanging on a door knob, but I prefer to use the dekor. It does not have a button latch on top like some other wet bags, but this doesnโt really bother me. It does have a zipper on the side which I like to use when emptying the diapers into the washing machine. We have two so that we have one to use when this one is washing. I am pleased with this product.

Not water proof
Initially worked well with reusable diapers that were slightly wet. However, after having multiple heavy soaked pads in it, the floor was wet underneath the bag

No stink!
So easy to use this- it just hangs on a doorknob for 2-3 days until we launder the diapers. Side zipper is a nice feature as itโs a little trickier to dump the diapers out through the top. Have not noticed any stink so far, been using for one month. Love that this goes right into the washing machine with the diapers. Very little effort.

great laundry bag
Washes well, just the right size for a load of baby laundry. We use it for cloths, bedding and swaddles and everything else a baby can spit up and pee/poop on. Air drys quickly also. Have only used it for 4 weeks so I am not sure how it will hold up over time but so far I like the brand. I have heard over time their product can wear down poorly but I have newer 3.0 diapers. Time will tell :)

Works, but not convenient
This does the job- it doesn't leak. However, because it is designed to hang on a hook or door handle, it is really inconvenient when baby is wiggling on the changing table and you are trying to put the soiled diaper in this pail one-handed. I am going to buy a hamper with a lid on it and try to use it as a liner in the hamper.

I've got two of these and they're excellent dirty diaper containers
I use Sun Babies diapers and have had no issues with leaking. I've got two of these and they're excellent dirty diaper containers. Washable, waterproof, simple. Throw it over a doornob, and boom. If you're breastfeeding, you'll have no issue with the smell. Better to let them be in an open-air environment than to let them ferment in a closed container.

Works well but expensive
I saw these for sale somewhere on Amazon for approximately $27 but they were out of stock. I really wanted to get the Charlie Banana one because I felt like it would perform better then a random brand. So I went ahead and spent the $50+ on this bag. I have not compared this bag to any others, but it works well. No leaks on my floor and I rinse and leave the diapers quite wet in this bag. So far, no stink, but my baby is exclusively breastfed and only just over a month old. I like the zipper on the side for when I wash and dry the bag.
