>> Hello.
>>
>> I have another question for those of you who use cloth diapers.
>>
>> We've decided that this is the way we're going to go and my question is a 
>> bit graphic so hopefully that's okay.
>>
>> I've heard that people use these sprayers to clean off the diapers in the 
>> toilet and Cindy is concerned that this might be a bit problematic since 
>> first the toilet is a pretty small space anyway and admittedly my 
>> spraying aim probably isn't the best so she's concerned that if I did 
>> this it might create more of a mess in some instances so I was wondering 
>> is there a way to accomplish this without the potential of creating a 
>> worse problem?
>>
>> We saw these flushable layovers that you can just dump off the diaper 
>> into the toilet and then the problem should be resolved but I want to try 
>> to do things that will minimize her role in having to clean up after any 
>> of that kind of thing where possible.
>>
>> This will be my first baby to raise so I'm with no experience at all. 
>> lol.

>> Thanks for the info and help.
