So, sometimes I take Caleb and Kennedy to play at the Seminary park. It's fun and usually there are other kids there for them to frolic with. On this particular day Kennedy had to go pee. So a nice lady offered for her to go pee in her apartment (on campus). So we walked in and as soon as I stepped in I knew something was wrong. The Smell. I couldn't put my finger on it. Weird food smell? No... Garbage???? No.... As I got closer to the bathroom it all made sense. "Sorry about the cloth diapers, I have had a hard time keeping up with the wash." Ah yes that's it. The smell of a pile of cloth diapers sitting on her bathroom floor. Used cloth diapers.... Caleb looked at me with a strange look on his face. I about gagged. "Hurry Caleb go pee!!!"(he had to go too)
It was seriously the worst smell of my life. I don't think using cloth Diapers really gives you the option to "not keep up with the wash". Or at least wash them out, and soak them...or something.
So after that experience three things to note:
1. Another reason I am glad I don't live on campus....strange smells EVERYWHERE.
2. I will never in my life use cloth diapers. (After cleaning up Caleb's undies almost everyday....No...NO...NOOO Cloth Diapers)
3. From now on we will just pee in the woods...outside...

OH Yikes. That is DISGUSTING!! We use a diaper genie to throw away diapers, and I know the smell you're talking about, because you get about a 2 second whiff of it everytime you put a new diaper in. Fermented Poop. Not good.
Ugh, even I know that you're supposed to at least rinse out the diapers as soon as you've changed the baby. Now we don't know what has been going on in that busy woman's life, but I could not live with that smell.
Hi Amanda! Ugh I know that smell too. Don't let it turn you off from cloth diapering though, they are great, so many fun colors and if our living situations are different with the next baby (like, our own place and OWN washer and dryer) we plan to use them. But yeah just don't judge it on this woman alone because she really needs to do something different! Haha I can't say that I blame you for saying you'd never use them after that!!
