Definitions
A small basket or bucket or hanging wet bag, usually with holes to allow for airflow and sometimes without a lid, used to store soiled cloth diapers or, very rarely, disposable diapers; a diaper pail without water or cleaning solution.
Other people have recommended a wastebasket with a tight-fitting lid. We didn't think at the time that that would provide enough odor containment; now I think that it would, for a dry pail system.
