Cloth diapers - sprayers and tushy sticks

This may be kind of sad, but I'm pretty excited about a new gadget that we added to our little world of cloth diapering. And may I just say that it makes clean ups a breeze!

After cloth diapering for over 6 months we have finally purchased a diaper sprayer! For those unaware of what that is, it's a garden hose like contraption that hooks up to your toilet that is pressured and you use it to spray off those non 'ploppable' poops. Usually Noah's diapers are an easy plunk and flush, but when your kids are sick or eat something that doesn't agree with them it sure does come in handy. No one enjoys having to dunk and swish right?

It has made my life so much easier! It takes 5 seconds at the most to rinse of a messy diaper and its a big help with avoiding stains. It's also handy to have around for cleaning your toilet, rinsing out a potty training toddler toilet or to use as a bidet for general cleanliness. Now that I have it I couldn't go back!
We purchased the Aquaus From the Little Monkey Store over the holidays when it went on sale. But I know Tender Tushies is now selling one too for cheaper for those interested.

Another product that I wanted to rave about is the Tushy Stick by Loveys. You can't just use any kind of diaper cream on your baby when you are cloth diapering and after trying a few brands this is our favourite. We love it because your hands never get messy and it works fast! We only have one at the moment but plan to pick up another to have with us on the go. Love love love it.

We hope to make a visit to our lovely TT rep in the next few days to add a few more dipes to our stash. We're going to have two boys in cloth diapers for a while, yikes. Anyone out there done this? How many diapers were you going through in a day? I'm curious about just how many we'll need.
