When my first daughter was born we tried cloth diapers from a diaper service and they were terrible! They leaked, they stunk, they were bulky and hard to use. So we ended up using disposables. When our second daughter was born we thought that we'd stick with disposables. That is until we noticed how much garbage we were creating (a big black garbage bag of diapers a week!)not only that but they were incredibly expensive. So we decided to try cloth again. This Time I did some research and came across these. After reading the reviews and consulting some cloth diapering parents we know, we decided to buy some.
I was really nervous the first time I used them (not wanting to relive the last cloth diaper experience), but I am overjoyed to say that these are amazing! I'm pretty sure that everything has already been said about them, but I will say this:
These are a little trickier to perfect the fit than the Bum Genius Onesize, but once you get it just right they are wonderful. I am very pleased with the design and quality, and the fact that each diaper comes with replacement elastic. Their website FAQ section is also very helpful and worth a read. I am also astonished at how well the lining fabric wick's the moisture away from my babies' bum. Sometimes it is hard to tell if she has gone because the lining will be dry, but then when I open it up the insert is soaked. Amazing! Also one last thing, my daughter had a really stubborn yeast rash for about three weeks, I tried everything to get rid of it and nothing worked. As soon as I switched to cloth the rash cleared in a day.
As for the colors we got, I am happy with them. I got some red, teal, green, yellow, orange, and a brown.
I would recommend these to anyone and everyone! They are fantastic. I actually enjoy changing diapers now. We also bought some of the BumGenius One Size and they are equally fantastic.
The idea of paying so much money at once for diapers kind of freaked me out. We bought a total of 26 diapers, a diaper pail, rockn' Green detergent, and some pail liners and pail fresheners. The total was about $500 for everything. It seemed very pricey but when you do the math it is the same as using disposables diapers for about 6 to 7 months. And when you factor in that you can use these ones right up until potty training, I think that the investment is worth it, Not only that but if you take care of them properly you could probably pass them on or sell them after you are done.
