I am not sure really where I am going with this new topic series but I wanted to give it a try. I always have people ask me about the cloth diapers I use for Vivian. So, I figured blogging about my experiences with them could help some people and answer some questions regarding myths and facts.
The diapers I use are all purchased from Cotton Babies. Of course, there are a bunch of other sites to purchase from, but this is my favorite by far and where I purchase everything.The a cotton babies website has a great section with information for first timers and a listing of all of the possible kinds of cloth diapers here. Check it out if you are interested in learning more.
I use BumGenius brand. Of course,there are other brands as well, but I like BumGenius One-Size Stay-Dry with SNAPS. The velcro is okay but I prefer the snaps as it gives me more control over how the diaper fits around the legs and waste. And with a fat legged baby this is essential.
That's it for now. Stay tuned for the next edition to see a video showing everything I use and how it all works.
For now, enjoy this picture of Vivian in her "jet setter" print diaper.
Awesome, Robin! We're planning on CD'ing our baby girl (arriving June/July!) So far, I have 2 dipers...still trying to build my stash! =) Let me pick your brain-- What detergent do you use for yours? Do you keep the dirties in a trashcan w/ liner or a wet/dry bag? Have you ever used a diaper sprayer? Thanks! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, April! I use the Bum genius diaper detergent but you can use any Free and Clear detergent (7th Generation is good). I use the diaper pail with a wet bag liner. The deo disk works great to contain the smell. I wash my diapes everyday vs. every other. Also, make sure you wash them on HOT water like they say. I use the sanitize cycle...it gets rid of the smell instantly.
