Where do you ladies get your cloth diapers from? Anyone order from theluvyourbaby.com?

OctopusesNotOctopi · 08-13-2010, 12:44 AM

A bunch of us have used the Kawaii dipes from that site, with pretty good reviews. I would just suggest only getting the dipes on there that have 2 rows of snaps; I do not like the ones with only 1 row. A has chicken legs, so it took a while for them to be snug, and the side flaps tend to come down and that bothers me LOL I think it will only get worse as she gets mobile.

Yup Kawaii's or similar are great and affordable. Milkymama has some similar ones she's selling at coop prices (but I think she's already closed that one).

Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community - DiaperSwappers.com If you have paypal and know what type of diaper you like this place is the place to look.

depends how much you want to spend too. i'm kinda a diaper snob and most of my diapers are the more expensive brands but i love them!!!! here are some of the places i've gotten my diapers:
Cloth Diapers for Baby!
Untitled
Cloth Diapering - Cloth Diapering Products and Resources
Custom diapers

a lot of the expensive ones i have gotten used off diaper swappers and a big portion of my diapers stash is bum genius and blue berry diapers

is luvyourbaby the only place to get the kawaii ones? I'm interested in the kawaii bamboo minkee diapers...

laurensmom · 08-13-2010, 04:58 PM

you can get them from ebay. Its the luvyourbaby lady selling them there.

I think you can buy them from Danielle too........

There is a lady on kijiji London who is selling 20 Bamboozle diapers right now in size 1.....which I think goes to 18 lbs or so. She wants $10/diaper and says they are in excellent condition. They do require a cover though.

I sell the kawaii minkies. Not on my site yet though as I keep running out pretty much as soon as they come in.

I only have minky in three patterns right now, and I only have 2 bamboo left. I will be getting more in soon though.

If your plan is to buy a ton of one colour/pattern, you might as well order online from luvyourbaby, because I really only get about 8 of each colour/print.

OctopusesNotOctopi · 08-13-2010, 05:40 PM

I have 2 - I find they take longer to dry then my others and they are more likely to stain, but work well as a diaper. They fit larger though, because the inserts are thinner. I just recently stopped having to overlap the tabs! I would probably get more if I were to buy from her...probably. they're great for cheap dipes.

I purchased mine in Barrie but you can get the same ones here at Cheeky Monkey. We went with Bummies prefolds but I wouldn't advise doing that. They're alot of work! I would much rather have had an all-in-one diaper even though they are more expensive. DD ended up with colic and I didn't get much sleep (15 minutes per night) I ended up cloth diapering for close to 2 weeks but I was just too exhausted to clean the diapers all the time so I went disposable in the end. Honestly for new parents I would advise a diaper service. You can get an idea of how you like the diaper itself without buying a particular brand right away. You also don't get so worn out.

I like my pocket diapers. You can stuff em with as much or as little as you need. I don't like AIO's - they take too long to dry. I don't like the prefolds with covers - trying to get the kid to stay still with the 2 part system is annoying with my squirmy kids. Motherease inners do have snaps and avoid this.

I still really like my Happy Heinys I got at Vesta. And I'm liking the ones I got off the MilkyMama tester dipes. Forget what they're called.

I've found blueberry velcro wears out faster than HH's. And G diapers velcro wears out the fastest IMO.

laurensmom · 08-28-2010, 10:14 PM

We HATE velcro dipes here BTW

Snaps only

Currently we use the Kawaii minkys, the Kawaii Bamboo minky, the Kushies AIO, a Babyland (hate it) and a couple of Babykicks which require a cover.

My favourite...and less likely to leak....are the regular Kawaii minky.

This weeks will be trying out Goodmamas, the milkymamma tester dipes, and some bamboozles....I will let you know how those go

I hate my Bamboozle. They're so expensive and do not hold up well compared to my others. I was bitterly disappointed and wouldn't recommend them.

I have a bit of everything in my stash but like my pockets best. I buy mine either second-hand off kijiji or from Canadian Online Baby Store - Cloth Diapers in Canada - Baby Slings, Baby Carriers, Baby Gifts and Baby Toys in Canada

FTR I prefer velcro to snaps.

I find velcro faster - my kid stands for diaper changes. I do like the snaps on the milkymama diapers, they're tough to do so I know if she's only wearing a diaper, it's not coming off. She can undo all the velcro ones and has to wear clothes with them or I suddenly have nekkid baby running around.
