Project: Diaper Sprayer

I am excited to report that we have successfully installed a diaper sprayer in our bathroom! (Well, my hubby did since I was nursing RaeRae in our cool bedroom...yep, a new window A/C. Will write about that soon too). 

For new cloth-diapering mamas or my readers not-so-familiar with cloth-diapering, a diaper sprayer is a tool that hooks up to your toilet quite easily. It's like a mini-hose that shoots high-pressure water to help get off baby poo. It also can be used a personal bidet or for postpartum rinsing (although the pressure seems a bit too hard for the latter in my opinion).


From Everything Birth, Inc.'s page, the description for this diaper sprayer says this:

Cleaning diapers has never been so easy! Simple instructions to attach this shower directly to your toilet.
No need to dunk in the toilet water again!

Cloth Diaper Sprayer - Great for rinsing off soiled cloth diapers in the toilet instead of dunking and soaking. The easy to handle, multi-hole, jet spray is perfect for rinsing even the most heavily stuck-on soiled diapers. 
Hand Held Bidet - The Mini Shower allows you to comfortably sit on the commode and enjoy the gentle and soothing benefits of cleaning your most sensitive areas with cool fresh running water. 
Feminine Hygiene - Fresh water cleansing is the most soothing and enjoyable way to achieve the highest level of freshness for total personal hygiene. 
Hemorrhoids - Tissue paper can be irritating and even painful. Doctors recommend a cool water rinse for any type of edema or swelling in the rectal area. New and improved quality made solid brass, chrome plated Tee connector with long lasting, ABS, ceramic core, 1/4 turn valve, easily connects to commodes with out tools or plumbers.

Easy clip spray wand holder on side of tank.

Mini-Size, clear hose stays supper flexible under pressure and is less noticeable in bathroom.

Quick connect hose fittings allows you to cut the 6 ft. hose to any length for right or left handed use.

Adjustable Water Pressure - Multi-hole jet spray with pressure control valve makes personal hygiene, commode cleaning, and even cloth diaper rinsing quick and easy.

Quick and Easy Installation no plumber needed and installs in just minutes. Tools are not usually needed for installation. Note: Toilet must have a flexible water supply line.
Made in the USA


RaeRae is EBF (Exclusively Breast-fed, for those of you unfamiliar with the term) so that means her poo is water soluble and her diapers can go straight into the washer without a diaper sprayer. However, since she is approaching 5 months, her poo-plosions are getting bigger and I was just tired of dealing with those yellow stains. Even though sunning helps, they were getting to the point where there was just too much poo for the diaper to contain and I wanted to make washing earlier. 
We are also going to be introducing other foods to her when she reaches 6 months. I had the opportunity to buy one through Everything Birth, Inc. , of which through Diaper Parties is associated. 

My hubby said it took him just about 10 minutes to set it up after reading the directions. The plastic tubing for the water flow can be trimmed based on how far/tall your toilet is from the ground. We decided to leave the plastic tubing at the length because we will be moving really soon.
Here is a pic of the diaper sprayer set-up in our bathroom:

The "sprayer" is on the left side of the toilet tank and comes off when ready to use. It's connected to the long plastic tubing of which the water flows through. The water flows through when I turn a little knob with the blue mark (looks like a button in this picture) to the right. We turn the knob off when we are done using the sprayer. Then squeeze the sprayer to relieve any remaining pressure in the hose (to prevent leaking).


If you need a diaper sprayer, I happen to sell them! You can buy them here. 
Just make sure to put my full name in at the page where it says "How did you hear about us." If you need help ordering or have any questions about it, feel free to comment here or email me.  I'm always glad to help someone out. 


Meanwhile, I will occasionally comment on how the diaper sprayer is working for us. I am feeling optimistic about it. I tried it for the first time today and I was honestly amazed how well it rinsed off the poo.


For my CD mamas, do you have a diaper sprayer? If you do, what do you use? What do you like or not like about it?
