I bought the diaper pail and the set of two wash bags for my second child. I love it. The diaper pail is small, and these bags fit in it very well. It's just enough to hold a day's, maybe two, worth of cloth diapers. Anymore than that and you'd have a stinky mess on your hands, so it's perfect. I toss the bag with dirty diapers into the laundry and put the clean bag in the pail so it's ready for the next mess.

I bought the diaper pail and a set of these bags. I was surprised that the bags are nearly twice as tall as the pail. Interestingly, the bags are also narrower at the top than the bottom. There is elastic in the top of the bag that sits well onto special hooks in the diaper pail, but the total length of the bag in nearly double the height of the pail. This means on day one I can use the lid, but on day two the lid is off and the bag is pulled up to collect more diapers. There is no way to contain the odors unless I chose to wash daily a small number of cloth diapers. I agree with the previous review, that it is nice to have 2 bags to switch out and if you were to leave the diapers any longer than 2 days, they would be very ripe. I have used cloth diapers for a month now and we are going through about 12 a day. The pail works better for the prefolds, but I also have Thirsties Duo Diapers and they are bulky enough to fill the pail fast. I looked for a taller diaper pail by Bambino Mio, but it doesn't exist. Last comment, the bags appear very sturdy and hold the weight of two dozen wet diapers and cloth wipes. I can cart it from the bathroom upstairs to the laundry room and the seams hold.

I decided to try these even after reading some negative reviews that discussed the fact that these were not leak proof. However, this is one of the features I appreciate about these liners. Thye do not absorb anything and cannot become stained. They merely serve the purpose of making the transfer of dirty cloth diapers from the Mio bucket to the wash cleaner and easier. Of course your bucket will need to be washed because the bags are mesh and will allow drainage into the bucket, but I would rather have the dirty water that drains off my rinsed diapers to dump in the toilet than rolling around in the wash with the diapers I am trying to clean.

If you read my review about the Bambino Mio diaper pail, you will know that I am less than pleased with the item. I feel about the same about the liner. I think a different liner with a regular garbage pail (with step-open option!) would be better than this combination. Not to mention that the liner didn't really seem to fit the pail correctly (much larger than the pail itself). The elastic fit was good and the "pail to washer" option was nice. I would recommend you shop around.

I was thrilled to receive this pail liner but unfortunately on about the third wash the elastic band around it snapped. I've had to tie it up now which I don't imagine will hold through the rigors of washing. It looked like a great design so I'm very disappointed.
