Abstract
Abstract A sanitary diaper handling apparatus which is configured so as to fit standard size diaper pails and which will fit over most toilet bowls, in which the diapers are pre-washed. A standard sized diaper pail lid is utilized, the lid having a section of see-through material, and two additional openings, each of the openings having a raised lip so that standard rubber gloves may be securely attached to the lid, the rubber gloves extending below the lid itself. This arrangement allows the user to prewash soiled diapers and to place them in the standard diaper pail without touching the diapers with the bare hands.
