Wet Pail, Dry Pail, Your Pail, My pail

Ok so, I was asked about wet pails today (soaking your diapers in a pail of water until time for washing.)
When it comes down to it, when using pocket diapers, I strongly recommend dry pails. I find Wet Pails are not an efficient method since my cover cannot go into it and I would therefore need to use both.
But, in the end, it is your choice. Here are some pros and cons for each.

First off- If you are using pocket diapers or covers, these should not be left in water. If you are using pocket diapers, the insert technically could be put in a wet pail but not the PUL cover!

WET PAIL
Storing the diapers in water (sometimes accompanied by baking soda) is said to help prevent stains from setting. When wash day comes, the water is drained in the bathtub or toilet and then the diapers go into the wash. The water should be changed daily to keep smells at bay!
This method has lost much of its use due to odor issues that arise from stagnant water, the potential for messiness, and the potential drowning hazard present by having a pail full of water in the vicinity of children.
Never put your PUL covers or Pocket Diapers in standing water. It is not good for the PUL
Also, some say that standing in the dirty wet water can spread stains to all diapers.

DRY PAIL
The dry pail method seems to be the preferred method with today's diapers.
In this method, wet and soiled diapers are merely placed within a covered (or uncovered) pail with no pre-soaking. Odors can be controlled in a variety of ways. Rockin Green actually creates a product in a cute shaker that is meant to be sprinkled on your diapers in a dry pail.
Stains are usually removed in the wash using this method but if stains remain after washing, you can lay them in the sun to dry and most stains will be naturally bleached out. In this method, your pail can get smelly! You can reduce this by getting a pail liner or frequent washes!
