I have 14 Fuzzi Bunz for Sam and they usually get me through 2 days until I have to wash them. And I’ve been, um, resourceful lately and just replace the insert if the liner isn’t wet, so that’s stretched laundry time a bit. They are pocket diapers which I have found to be my favorite. They also have snaps which I prefer over the velcro.

When it comes to outings I keep a Wal-Mart sack stashed in my bag. When Sam was still pooping in his diaper (Yay! Half-way potty trained!) I would dump the poop in a toilet if we were near one, but other than that I’d roll that sucker up and stick it in the bag until we got home.
Some people also use a wet bag. I have a big one that lines a trash can so the pee doesn’t leak out into the can. You can buy smaller ones with a zipper to tote around with you.

Now that I think of it I have several different types of diapers you could borrow if you want to review them. I have been planning on sticking them on diaper swappers, but just haven’t gotten around to it.

I have:
5 large BumGenius AIO: I bought these used and like them alright. The reason I haven’t been using them is because of the ammonia smell that knocks me over when Sam pees in them. Wasn’t aware that they were like this when I bought them. They probably just need a really good stripping. BG are also pretty bulky, so Sam’s pants have to be a size up in order to wear them, lol.

4 medium Thirsties covers, tons of prefolds, & Snappis: I didn’t think I’d like the prefold method, but it has been one of my faves. They intimidated me at first until I gave in and tried them. I stopped using them because they don’t have anything to wick away pee, so I was changing them more frequently which resulted in more laundry.

6 medium g-diapers: I got these on super sale in their online store. I really like them…and now I can’t remember why I stopped using them. They come with a little “hammock” (that’s what it looks like to me) that you tuck a prefold in and change it out when it needs to be. These aren’t bulky and the hammock keeps everything in, so they don’t leak.

I’ve tried fitteds and do not like them. You put a cover over them, but the diaper gets wet so fast it was completely pointless.

If you’d like to try a FB’s too I’d be happy to loan you a few.

I also have 12-14 microfiber inserts that you are welcome to have. They came with my FB’s, but Sam gets diaper rash when we stuff the diapers with them. We’ve been stuffing his FB’s with prefolds. I think they probably just need severe stripping and they’ll be great.

Ok, that’s all of the knowledge I’m going to entrust to you. Unless of course you want to make this a guest post

We use a mix of Bum Genius All in Ones and Kushies All in One. We have liked the Bum Genius so far, except that even with the insert, they don’t seem to do the trick for over night very well.
Believe it or not, the Kushies are from Walmart.com and they work better than the expensive ones for naptime and nighttime. They do not have pockets for inserts but they have a convenient little flap sewn on the inside of the diaper which serves as your extra “soaker.”
The Kushies work better for bigger babies….hence the name I guess!
Kelly’s Closet is the site we bought our Bum Genius from. They also have a “seconds” section to buy discounted diapers that are perfectly fine but just have minor flaws.

Blessings!

I would so use Cloth again!

I had about 12 diaper covers for each kid and would use the same cover for most of the day and just change the pre-fold until the cover started start to feel damp, or if poop got on it. The nice thing about pre-folds is you can get them at Target or Wal-Mart for pretty cheap.

Glad it’s going well. Keep up the good work! I think cloth diapering is kind of fun.
