Cloth Diaper People

[cinnamonsmiles]

Saw something similar on A16 and remembered that we have quite a few on here who are doing so.

How's it going?

NB or OS?

What's your favorite type of diaper? Least favorite?

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect?

Any issues/questions?

GTKY: Favorite diaper print?

[rosetyler72]

How's it going? Good! Sometimes get leaks but not too bad usually.

NB or OS? OS, we used sposies for the first 3 weeks until he fit OS.

What's your favorite type of diaper? Bumgenius and Bambino Mio
Least favorite? Sunbaby, those are the devil. Leaks every single time!

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect? Love it so far, probably not as much once we start solids.

Any issues/questions? Not really.

GTKY: Favorite diaper print? Great Britain Bambino Mio. I really want an Aspen thirsties pocket next!

[jess9802]

How's it going? Just fine. This is my second kiddo in cloth.

NB or OS? We're now in OS or Thirsties size one.

What's your favorite type of diaper? Least favorite? Loved the GMD NB prefolds and my new bamboo flats. Still hate the leaky Blueberry OS pocket diaper.

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect? Head over heels!

Any issues/questions? Nope.

GTKY: Favorite diaper print? Our stash is mostly solid colors.

How's it going?
Pretty good. Two in cloth isn't really my cuppa tea though.

NB or OS?
NB Blueberry simplex, size 1 Thirsties, and some OS (mostly for night).

What's your favorite type of diaper? Least favorite?
With two in cloth, give me all the AIOs because I'm forever drying and stuffing/folding.

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect?
Head over heels for cloth minus the spraying. Can't they just BF until PT?

Any issues/questions?
None for her.

GTKY: Favorite diaper print?
This baby will be my next purchase once budget resets

How's it going? It's going great! Finally getting my husband on board and moving away from sposies at night

NB or OS? OS

What's your favorite type of diaper? Least favorite? We have lots of favorites! Thirsties Natural AIO, Bluberry Simplex AIO, Smart Bottoms AIO, Grovia (Snap with Organic Cotton moreso than our AIO's), Rumperooz covers with prefolds, workhorses, or Grovia Kiwi Pie Fitteds. Least favorites are our BG's, no leaks or anything they are just the ones I reach for last!

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect? I'd say I might have a problem, I love looking at CD and buying new prints!

Any issues/questions? None yet! May have some once we start using them overnight officially

GTKY: Favorite diaper print? I love, love, love the Grovia Robots print and paid a premium to get it off of Ebay! I cannot wait until it gets here

I wish I had known how popular Robots would be - it was the first cloth diaper I ever got, bought for DS in NB.
I got rid of it because I hated Grovia NB, but now I wish I had saved it

I feel ya on the BG. And they get horribly stretched elastics super fast. MH has already said we will never buy another one from them.

We sound like opposite cloth diaper ladies. Maybe I'm doing my Thirsties wrong, but I always get leaks.
And I'm actually jealous of the solids! I've been trying to use cloth with dresses and it doesn't work as well with prints (IMO).

Solids make everything worse in cloth diaper land, especially at the beginning when it's still a mix of BF/FF and bits of food. So gross.
It gets better once they go full on though.

[arbe]

How's it going? So far keeping up with it

NB or OS? Both, out wetting NB for long naps.

What's your favorite type of diaper? Least favorite? Love the hybrid. Not in love with the AIO

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect? Little bit of both

Any issues/questions?

GTKY: Favorite diaper print? Grovia Ophelia

[sctiger]

How's it going? We haven't started with this one yet. We use pockets and she is still too small for them, even the pure and naturals have gaps in the legs.

NB or OS? None yet. I need to recheck the pure and naturals again. It's been a few weeks since I last tried.

What's your favorite type of diaper? Least favorite? We use pockets exclusively.

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect? Just the savings. I hate how big they are under clothes. HATE.

Any issues/questions?

GTKY: Favorite diaper print? The tiger one

[rosetyler72]

sctiger I hate how they make clothes fit too! He has some super adorable pants and shorts that only fit with a sposie so sometimes I put one on just for special clothes.

I thought I was the only one! I have been lazy about trying this time for that reason. Once she starts daycare in August it won't be a huge deal because I don't have to look at it all day, haha. But if she has a special outfit and I want pictures I will put a disposable on. I am also super practical about diapers. I buy what we need and am never tempted to buy more just because they are cute.

How's it going? Going great! 2 in cloth was a lot more laundry to get used to, but we got a new system down and it's better now.

NB or OS? Newborn still. She's starting to outgrow some of them, but her OS is still too big.

What's your favorite type of diaper? Least favorite? My favorite cover for A is blueberry mini coverall. Least favorite is Nicki's AIO aplix. C wears mostly best bottoms and A will wear Grovia when they fit. I love the ease of laundry with AI2's.

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect? Love the cloth. Spraying sucks though. I'm hoping DS gets back to pooping on the toilet soon. He was doing great but regressed when A was born.

Any issues/questions? Nope

GTKY: Favorite diaper print? I love best bottoms BOOM. I'm hoping to get some more Grovia prints. We got all solids except Ophelia.
Re: fluffy butts and clothes fitting- we put the kids in sposies for our camping trip this weekend. Ds's pants would not stay up! Seriously, the only shorts that didn't fall down are size 12 months. He's 2 years old. His skinny butt needs the fluff. I don't know what I'll do when he potty trains. Lol

DS had started telling me right before he poops, and I tell him everyday that mommy would be super happy if he pooped on the toilet so I didn't have to spray it.

Instead he runs the opposite direction, poops, and proceeds to smoosh it (in the diaper thankfully) by immediately bouncing in his scooter. *Sigh*

[cinnamonsmiles]

Re: size, DS is a stout little guy so we have to size up pants anyway to accomadate for his waist. Thankfully he's tall too, otherwise we would be in a pickle.

[roseinbloom]

How's it going?
Great, we love cloth!

NB or OS?
We ordered two OS diapers, but H was not a fan. So Thirsties and Best Bottoms sizes 1 and 2.

What's your favorite type of diaper? Least favorite?
Prefolds seem to work really well for us. Except for the two OS diapers we haven't experimented with others. AIOs would drive me crazy though with the dry time since I already do laundry every night.

Heads over heels for cloth or just like it for the savings aspect?
We love, love, love not making so much waste. We started on cloth diapers right away. And after the first two failed attempts for H, he got really good at it and now he's just as enthusiastic as me, if not more. In fact, when we used some disposables the hospital gave us after little Bud's illness, H complained that the [fresh] disposables smelled like a port-a-potty. We don't really get any bad smells with cloth, no blowouts (sometimes a little leaking if we weren't careful with the covers), and rarely diaper rash.  

Any issues/questions?
Does any one know if the Snappi only comes in one size? I'd kind of like a set that stretches a little further, but as far as I can tell they only come in one size. 

GTKY: Favorite diaper print?
How about MH's favorite? When I first showed him my suggested cloth diaper purchases, he saw this one and said, "I'd wear that." Haha, H. Sadly, it's one of the ones which didn't work out for us.
