Had to re-stash all over again, and with much more choice available, I tried about a dozen brands...Loved Bum Genius, leaked through Fuzzibunz, still adore Thirsties pockets, liked Monkey Doodlez pockets but the AIO's never dry and got stinky really fast...tried AMP's and Baby Kanga's but neither floated my boat, used prefolds on occasion and found them decent though hard to get on my wiggly baby...discovered Jango Diapers which fit him beautifully with Kushies and Bummis covers. Liked the convenience of Mommy's Touch but the fit was so-so. MotherEase were ok but too bulky once he started to walk. JamTots fitteds didn't work for us, but I do LOVE the Blueberries. Got a couple wool soakers too. So I do recommend trying several and seeing what works for you! :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197059819176148237.post-76786018362173640192010-04-25T07:53:42.173-04:002010-04-25T07:53:42.173-04:00We tried a few different options, and that's w...We tried a few different options, and that's what I always recommend to new parents starting out with cloth. I also advise them to be open to changing what their favourites are as their babe becomes older, bigger, slimmer or a heavier wetter!<br /><br />For example, when we started out, we wanted to do prefolds for the first few months, with a few Kissluvs tossed in for good measure and then move gradually to pockets and one-size diapers. When it was time to move to mediums, we loved the Kissaluvs, so we upgraded to size 1, and didn't find them nearly as good and bought a small stash of pockets.<br /><br />My husband is a stay-at-home-dad and decided that he really dislikes pockets and all-in-ones. To this day, he is using infant prefolds with a Sugar Peas fleece cover or a Happy Hempy fitted with a wool cover for naps and bedtime on our 18 month old. Our stash of pockets and one-size diapers sits largely unused except on weekends when I'm home!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14438464795315079577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197059819176148237.post-54013753436797462742010-04-24T22:43:24.490-04:002010-04-24T22:43:24.490-04:00Well, since I am old too, in July of 1999 when I p...Well, since I am old too, in July of 1999 when I picked our "system" there was Absolutely Diapers on Bank. They had MotherEase one-size or Sandy's and you could pick bleached or unbleached. So, I bought three or four dozen (can't totally remember due to being old) bleached one-size. And some covers. Because I liked the idea of 'white' diapers and couldn't afford to buy different sizes and buy enough so we didn't have to wash frequently. We didn't start using them until our daughter was about 6 weeks because they were a little big. (Now I don't care about big butts and just throw them on, big or not.)<br /><br /> When William came in 2002 I bought prefolds for those first tiny butt weeks and used the SWW covers. Because you told me to. And sold me the prefolds. <br /><br />Norah used disposable. Ahem. <br /><br />Rachel is using MotherEase thin old thin one-size with prefolds jammed in folded in thirds or Jamtots or AMP bamboo inserts and we have now added some wool covers and the Thirsties one-size wraps. I wouldn't buy any more ME covers now that we have tried the Thirsties. Fab. I am trying wool because Rachel needs more aeration. We have about 10 hand-me-down velcro flannel diapers that fit like crap but catch pee and poo just fine. And I have two AMP one-size (because they were so soft) and one Fuzzi-Bunz (because you said they fit fat legs better) and about 6 Blueberry one-size (because you put them on sale and then BAM I loved them). I bought some pockets because I wanted a more trim going-out, easy to change diaper. (Also because my MotherEase was dying and I thought I needed to replace them, but really I just need to HELP them with inserts.) Blueberry is the one I bought a bunch more of because they fit my chunky monkey and I love the insert which has three layers and stays in place.<br /><br />I started cloth because I just couldn't put disposable on my kid's butt when I hated disposable menstrual pads as much as I did. I bought the MotherEase because that was my option. I added in other things - ummm - because you told me to! HAHeather Annnoreply@blogger.com
