Either that or turn the tap off when it is full enough then turn it back on when it starts to wash.
How did you end up going with the wet pailing? Fix the problem?

Mine is all electronic...buttons, no dials lol. so, sadly that idea wouldn't work here.
I have had success with just rinsing the nappies, squeezing them out and then chucking them in the bucket. I hate the smell of a bucket full of nasty nappy water
But not every nappy gets rinsed, probably because I'm lazy... and we don't seem to have the same problems, or at least they aren't falling apart as fast as they used to be... so I'm thinking maybe it was a toxic wee issue.
Certain brands of fabrics seem to be falling apart more than others. I have one bamboo night nappy with a booster of bamboo fleece that is almost completely destroyed, the booster looks like a rag, it's almost broken in half it's so completely broken down, but the outer bamboo velour of the nappy itself is still in good to very good condition. Obviously the booster and outer have been used in the same way, and had the same treatment, and yet the booster is pretty much destroyed.
So I think in conclusion

, the main issues are fabric quality and time that toxic wee is left on the nappies.
And so concludes my report
