About The Spray Pal
The Spray Pal (Amazon Aff Link) was released on the market in August 2011 and has become one of the most popular sprayer shields. Some of the profit even goes to charity.
The Spray Pal is partially made in the U.S. and is owned by Jen Aprea. The Spray Pal features a large clip for securing your diapers along with collapsible sides that snap together. You can store your pal in a wet bag that they offer or next to your toilet in a bucket.
About The Diaper Diamond
The Diaper Diamond has been discontinued. However, I left my review and info on it here if you want to learn more.
The Diaper Diamond is a sprayer shield that is compatible with any diaper sprayer and responsibly made in China. It is used to keep water droplets and fecal matter within the toilet bowl where it belongs.
The Diamond eases the chore of cloth diapering by allowing you to easily spray the poo off without worrying about making a bigger mess. The Diaper Diamond was created by Bernadette Drew. Her patent was issued in May of 2013 and manufacturing was finished in February of 2015.
Bernadette holds the first patent for the spray shield design. Her diamond originally featured four clips which were then changed to slits that help to secure the gussets. The diaper diamond is the only spray shield on the market that pulls the gussets taught so you can get them completely clean without using your hands.
It’s a little smaller compared to the Spray Pal and folds out flat and can hang behind your toilet.
Spray Pal vs Diaper Diamond
The Diaper Diamond has been discontinued. However, I left my review and info on it here if you want to learn more.
Out of the two I personally prefer the Diaper Diamond’s size over the Spray Pal. However, I really wished it featured a clip as the Spray Pal does.
I think the Spray Pal is just a little bit big to keep out and assembled. I do like the fact that you can fold it up and tote it around in its complimentary wet bag (Sold Separately).
The Wet Bag (Aff link) itself is durable and nicely designed. It’s actually my favorite wet bag I own!
I do wish the wet bag hung from the center so it didn’t tilt so much when storing the Spray Pal. For this reason, I use the wet bag for diapers instead of storing the Spray Pal.
The Diaper Dawgs Sprayer
If you’re looking for a current alternative to the Spray Pal look no further than the Diaper Dawgs Sprayer Collar. (aff link)
I’ve been using it for almost 5 years now and I love it! It’s been my favorite sprayer/shield combo on the market since I’ve started my cloth diapering journey.

Do You Need A Sprayer Shield?
You don’t “need” a spray shield to cloth diaper however they are extremely convenient and take a lot of the work out cleaning your diapers.
You can also use a spray shield with flats, prefolds, and soiled baby/toddler clothes!

Why And When Should I Spray My Diapers?
If your child is 100% breastfed you don’t have to spray your diapers you can dump them straight into the wash.
Breastfed poo is 100% water-soluble but after the 6 month period when your baby gets on solids, you will need to discard most of the poo before you stick the diaper in the wash.
I prefer to spray my cloth diapers the entire time because it keeps your diaper pail from stinking and prevents stains. However, you’re free to skip that step.
I hope you enjoyed my post, leave a comment and let me know which one you’re thinking about getting!
