how do you get your nappies from the pail to the machine?

just use my hands here too, and wash them afterwards

90% of Tahlia's stuffers are dry at the very back anyway (she's a wee out the front gal)... but wee doesn't both me in the slightest, so it's bare hands for me. (I'm actually surprised people have a problem with wee)

I had a poo phobia, and would use a plastic knife to scrape poo off the nappies, but I soon got over that and if there was any poo left from shaking it over the toilet, I just grabbed 2 parts of the nappy and rubbed them together (no gloves).... I just wash my hands afterwards.

I want to get a large PUL wet bag to line my nappy bucket with so that I don't have to worry about washing the bucket. Then you can just turn the bag inside out and follow it with the bag.

gloves... with my older sons poos atm, I'm not going in without protection, lol

I dont wear gloves changing nappies......so use bare hands to pull stuffers out

Mia's poo is very messy, so I use gloves and rinse out over a bucket then into the nappy bucket.

me too, so i got dh to put the front loading washer UP onto a heavy metal cupboard, so now the front loader is at my waist level, SOOOOO much easier on my back. When you elevate your machine, you really need to sort out the balance issues otherwise you end up with a "dancing"machine once it hits the spin cycle

Just hands - I also like to fold tabs back etc. We use a little squirt though so there is rarely any residual on the nappies.

Bare hands here too!

We have a front loader but I have a totally different problem - DP sometimes "forgets" to empty the pooey nappies and after the cycle has finished I end up with poo in the rubber seal thingie at the front? I haven't worked out an easy way to get it out when it happens - any ideas?

I almost only use pockets, so theres a lot of pulling out stuffing for me. I just use my index finger and thumb to pull a little out of the opening, then I shake out into the bucket.

I have a front loader, so I line all my buckets with PUL liners I made myself. Then I just lift the liner out and as Im pushing it in the door of the washing machine I push it inside out so that the nappies all fall out and I dont have to touch them (just have to hold my breathe for a few seconds). The liner just gets washed along with all the nappies.
