Does anyone use disposable wipes with their prefold cloth diapers? How does your changing routine work?
I'd love to CD, but with twins, it's really only practical for us if we do it with a diaper service. So I'm thinking about logistics and wondering if it's going to be a pain to keep the wipes and dipes separate and put them each in their own container at every single changing. Thoughts or advice?

Before we switched to cloth wipes and water we used disposables with our pockets. I had the wipes container in a basket next the changing table and one of those small trash can bags in there. I'd just put the wipes in the trash bag and toss the diaper in the diaper pail (step on trash can by simple human) that was by the changing table on the opposite end. When the bag got full I took it outside and got a new one. I really don't feel it was any harder to separate the wipe from the diaper versious tossing it all in the same pail, but that was just my experience.

We did prefolds and covers, with disposable wipes, for the first couple months. It was super easy. Like @anbanan15, we just had two receptacles. Take diaper off, toss in diaper pail. Use wipes, toss in trash. Easy peasy.
The only time I think it may be harder is if you're out and about, and the diaper is going into the wet bag, but you don't want to fold up the disposable wipes in there, and you need to leave them out and then find somewhere to toss them.

I used to use disposable wipes. We have a trash right next to the diaper pail. Easy peasy! But I think it's much easier with cloth wipes, everything in one pail and you're doing a wash anyway.

Thanks for the feedback! I guess I'd always just diapered disposables in the way of tucking the dirty wipe in the dirty diaper and wrapping up to toss.
The babies room is upstairs and our main living spaces are downstairs, so I'm just planning to have a changing pad and container of supplies on each level, that I'll just use on the floor. We'll have a diaper pail and a regular trash together near each setup, so maybe I'll just have a lap pad or something in my supply box where I can place the dirty dipes and wipes until I'm done changing both babies.
