These are my top five reasons for loving my cloth diaper sprayer!

1. It’s kept my diapers nice and white. We’ve been using the same pocket diapers since my son was 8 weeks old. Even when he was only getting breastmilk, I used the diaper sprayer to spray off the dirty diapers. Now my daughter’s using the same diapers and they really look good as new!
2. It’s a great way to rinse off clothes that are victims to diaper blowouts! My son is the king of pooping. Yep, disgusting, I know. Our diaper sprayer has saved me from having to trek downstairs into our laundry room to rinse off the nastiness that’s escaped into his clothes. Plus, it puts that nastiness where it belongs – in the toilet.
3. Two words: Power Washing. If you’ve never used a diaper sprayer you’re in for a treat! You can easily adjust the water pressure to your satisfaction and trust me that little sprayer can muster up a lot of pressure! I’ve used my diaper sprayer to power wash my screens in our bathtub many time.
4. Unpredictability = waste. My son, when he was wearing diapers, had what they call frequent toddler stools or something like that. Basically he pooped in his diaper all day long. I simply didn’t have the option to use a biodegradable liner like my friends had used. He had no pooping schedule so either I’d waste my money buying liners or I could use the diaper sprayer and rinse it off in the toilet. Best decision we made.
5. Being able to rinse off our potty training chair. I didn’t think when we made the decision to buy a diaper sprayer that we’d be using it for potty training but we have! It’s been an awesome way to rinse out my son’s little potty chair without using our sink or bathtub.

If you haven’t gotten a cloth diaper sprayer yet…ask yourself one question – why? I promise you won’t regret your decision. I know I haven’t!

She started blogging in 2009 as a way to keep track of her thoughts on being a first time mom, especially her struggle with postpartum depression, and as a way of reaching out to other moms who are struggling with the same things. This July, Bert had another first in her motherhood travels – a little girl! Even though she’s newly a mother of two, Bert maintains that no matter how many children you have you will always be a “first time mom” because there’s a first time for everything!
