Diaper/wet bag

[whimsy]

I'm trying to design myself the perfect diaper bag. Just diapers. Actually it would be a diaper/wet bag combo. Here's what I'm thinking......

Start with a basic tote made of felted wool interlock.

Make a stretchy open knit panel (think market bag style) to attach to the outside of one side of the tote. (to put clean dipes in - so it would stretch out real big when full, but shrink down as the day goes on)

Maybe another stretchy knit panel on the other side for airing soakers? Or clips?

I also think I will make cotton liners to put inside the tote. I don't want to worry about poo getting on the wool. Then I could just pull out the liner and toss it in the wash and put another liner in.

There shouldn't be enough compression to cause wicking from the wet dipes to the dry ones, right? or wrong?

I'm trying to figure out how to handle the dipe situation next week when I start in my NEW OFFICE!

Be honest with me. I might just make sep. wet and dry bags, but I'm pretty scatter brained and I'm afraid I'll forget one. :ohno

How about make a separate wetbag, but attatch it to the diaperbag somehow so it doesn't get forgotten? Something thats removeable though, so it can be cleaned or lanolized periodically.

I use a backpack style diaper bag and separate wetbag but here is how I always know I have my wetbag (or more depending on how long we will be gone for). I have 2 wetbags that live in the diaper bag, when they come out of the dryer (made of procare) with the diapers and get put away, they go in the bag. I have 6 yes 6 clean ziplock bags that live under the diapers in the bag. So if by some chance I have left BOTH wetbags at home (like I didn't fold laundry for a while :hide ) I still have something to put dirties in. You could also have a couple spare wetbags that live in your office so that you can get them if necessary. It works well for us and I drag my kids everywhere in the summer and on very short notice. Personally I would order up some procare and make a whole bunch of bags and put them everywhere. They go in the washer and dryer with the diapers which makes caring for them SUPER easy.
