Cloth Diapering 101

[Zabsmom]

Ya I love the pockets too. I find that AIO take too long to dry and if anything is gonna leak it's them. I find that the fitteds are a pain with having to use covers, plus I have a super soaker. Pockets seem just right since you can add for absorbancy and take them out for quick dry time. I also love using the pockets for swim diapers.
I've been surfing diaperswappers and once you get the hang of it, it's HIGHLY addictive!!
I'm on the look out for a enchanted nursery night owl diaper.

Im now hooked on diaperswappers too

A mama is going to be mailing me some prefolds and covers for the new babe, next week.

I havent tried prefolds yet, so figured might as well. Im only paying the shipping on them!
And if i dont end up liking them, I can use them as doublers or something!

lhastie I know your LO would work but I"m not sure if you guys are into fluff?? would be a pocket.

I've got a 17.5lber over here She's in mediums in pretty well everything...

Hehe, you made me laugh I should take pictures of the diapers one day, but I'm afraid to! I'm gaming for trying pretty well anything and cute is always a bonus. However, by most definitions she is a large at around 25-26lbs. Hope you find the right little bum for your cute diaper!

Putting on two things are definitely the challenge with fitteds, especially considering how many diapers a day I put on with her standing or actively walking away! However, good covers with prevent leaks even more so than pockets, nice to have the extra barrier if you might really need it

Yeah, diaperswappers is dangerous.... Um, okay, that probably summarizes it...

Leigh, do you have a snappi? I think I still have a couple new ones if you were looking for one and they were less than they sell in town...

Nope no snappis here.. that would be great if you are able to part with one or two for a good price I love a good deal.

Cool, I'll look when I'm back home to see what I wound up with I'm not a big prefold user so don't go through many of them

Ive Pm'd you!~

If anyone needs FuzziBunz, Cheeky Monkey finally got theirs in. I picked up three tonight to see what I think and whoever said large is huge wasn't joking. Good lord, the diapers are gigantic. I haven't used FuzziBunz for a couple of years now but if I like how they perform I'll pick up a few more and sell my Kangas.

What size Kangas do you have? Any med/large solid colours (boyish :P) or white? Ive got a black one on loan and I love the way they look. Havent really tried it yet... (been used as a wrap - paranoid of staining friends stuff)

Im loving the FB's though - didnt realize that they had Polar Fleece ones though - kinda warm for summer though. Need some darker blue ones...

[Zabsmom]

Kangas are a one size so they should fit your LO.

Duh - Ive just looked at it - thanks...

I posted over at s to see if there are any moms that would like to do a cloth diaper support group. We'd all get together and talk about what combos work for us, see some of the products that I have, test some of them out, one mom makes mama cloth another wool soakers. Would be a great opportunity for moms that use store brand diapers to look at cloth and learn the lingo. We were thinking wednesday mornings, in a central location....anyone?

[lhastie]

hi! I'd love to come, but the only morning I can do is Mondays, otherwise afternoons... I'd really really like to join you! I have diapers, hehe. though not as many brands as I used to! Focusing on what works well for us now.

Let me know if I can make, I'm there!

[a_bun_in_the_oven]

Hope you ladies have fun. I'm back at work now (days), so I won't be attending.

Hey Zabsmom........is this the gathering you were talking about in the chat box?? I'd like to attend once I've got a few soakers made!!
