I am an organized person or at least I make attempts at it, but recently my cloth diaper stash started to invade my bedroom. It bugged me to have piles of clean diapers all over my bedroom floor or have them still hang from the indoor clothes line. At first, I put the diapers in wicker baskets on the shelves of my changing table, but as my collection of cloth diapers grew this area became overflowed. I tried to use some plastic three-drawer organizers, but I had no room for them, and my husband tripped over them in the early morning to get to his dresser.
The other day I pulled out the baby toys for my two month old daughter, and inside the storage container was a pet net I purchased a long time ago from the Ikea store. It had several separate compartments, and it could be hung from the ceiling. I thought it would work perfectly for cloth diaper storage, and so I had my husband hang it next to the changing table. It works very well. I like the fact that it takes up little to no space, and it hangs out of the way next to the wall. This pet net works well for cloth diaper storage because it has six compartments to store various sizes for each child and areas for the pads. In the top compartment I store diapers my daughter Ayla outgrew, then large and small microfiber inserts in another compartment, and the last three have the other diapers and Super Undies. The pet net not only organizes the diapers, but it makes cloth diapering much easier for everyone. My husband is no longer confused as to what diaper goes to which kid, and what insert goes with each type of diaper. My room is now much cleaner, and I feel less stressed about cloth diapering. This could be cloth diaper organization at its best, and is a method to help you store your diapers for multiple kids.
I would like to know what you do to organize your diapers?
Happy Diapering!
Clever! We had to take our ‘pet net’ down because we actually didn’t have space in my daughters’ bedroom with the crib and toddler bed (yup, the room’s THAT small!) But maybe we could make it work for the sake of storing diapers… This is a great idea!
Hello Samantha,
I had diapers everywhere and more than I could store under my changing table. The space in the air is perfect and I hope if you try it, it works for you too. Thanks for the comment love. Amee
This is brilliant. I just had a basket on the floor by the changing table. Not exactly out of the way or eye catching. I’m gearing up for baby #2 (thankfully #1 is finally potty trained) and have been wondering how to organize all the diaper sizes and accessories I’ve amassed. Being able to organize my diapers by type (ie. fitteds, all in ones, etc.) will help out the hubby too. He always struggled with which diapers needed a cover and which had built in ones. Will be making a trip to Ikea for this. Thank you!
Thanks Tara I am so happy with it my room is staying cleaner and my husband finally changes diapers more often because he knows what goes with what. Congrats on baby #2 that is awesome do you know what you are having? We think we might have one more after this last one, but not for at least a couple years since Ayla is not even three months old yet. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.
This would have worked great when I cloth diapered Kylie!!!! I used baskets under the changing table, this looks better! 🙂
Thanks so far it is working for me and it takes up air space which wasted space anyways. 🙂
