I had a random thought the other day. What do you do with dirty diapers when you're out and about (shopping or whatever)? Do you throw them out in public trash cans? Or do you take them home with you? Does it make a difference if the diaper is just wet or if it's poopy?
I've been rolling all of ours up and just tossing them in public trash cans. But I don't know if that is weird or not.

Public trash can, preferable in the restroom. If there are no garbage cans nearby then I have plastic bags in the diaper bag and leave them in the car and throw it out when we get home.

I just throw them away wherever we are. At home, I always flush poop before tossing the diaper, but that's not always possible in a public bathroom, especially if the changing table is in another room or far from the toilets.

We put them in a doggy poop bag first then usually toss them depending on where we are.

I put them in a dog poop bag first, then throw them out depending on the trash can situation.

I put them in a plastic nappy bag and toss them wherever I can! I definitely do not bring them home if I can at all help it...a couple of weeks ago I left a dirty nappy in my car and forgot about it, gross!

We cloth diaper most of the time, but when traveling we throw disposables in bathroom or outdoor trash cans when we can. If I'm changing her in a nontraditional place (aka on the floor inside a building), we put them in our small wet bag until we're near an outdoor trash can.

I've only ever changed my LOs in public in a place that has a change table, and if there's a change table, there is usually a specific nappy bin. Otherwise, I just throw it in a nappy bag and toss it in a normal bin.

First we toss the poop in the toilet, then we throw it away wherever we can.

We toss it in the public.. I'm sure there are "worse" trash than a dirty diaper!

Public trash can, but we keep plastic bags with us so that I can tie the poopy ones up in a bag (and contain the smell) before throwing it away.

Poop goes in public trash can outside. Pee usually goes in bathroom trashcan or outside.
