don't know how I missed this one coming through...
youngest child is out of nappies, except at night. I've used disposables at night for a fair while, as I found the mix of disposables and fabric worked to keep the nappy rash away with eldest child. I never used a nappy bucket with a lid - I used two 10 litre buckets, in the washing trough (one for wet, one for soiled). Wet nappies went into the next load of washing, soiled ones got scrubbed and soaked (although I understand that soaking isn't necessarily part of the process these days, I had the habit and didn't stop). Sometimes used commercial nappy soaker, but usually just a heaped tablespoon of bicarb in the water. Don't soak for too long though - goes scummy.
