And then I got crazy and tried prefolds…

Filed Under Cloth Diapering | 1 Comment

I got kind of crazy this week. I decided our diaper stash was too small. I have found things I don’t like and sold them. For example, the Fuzzi Bunz just leaked way too much and could not get tight enough around Bailey’s legs. So those went. Some WAHM diapers I bought online were too thick (AIOs) or too crappy, so those went. I do not really want to do laundry every other day, so I wanted to expand our stash as cheaply as possible. It is currently almost all Bum Genius one-size pocket diapers, and at $17.95 apiece we really can’t afford to double the amount we own!

Enter prefolds. Yep, I did it. And the funny thing is, I like them. I never thought I would even try them, but I really enjoy using them. I only use them with the Bummi covers, so they don’t need pins or anything. I bought a “try it” package from Cottonbabies and I think next time I’m there I will pick up more premium size Chinese prefolds. I tried using a Snappi but that didn’t work so well. Either it takes lots of practice, or I am an idiot.

Here is some of our new stuff: 

One thing is, Bailey’s butt looks bigger in them. And poop? Not so fun to clean out. But, they’re great for at home, and her tushie looks so cute in the flower cover. Also, Girl sent me some Babylegs that she made so now I can let her run around in a diaper and her leg warmers

I have had a lot of people ask me what/how many diapers I have, so here it is:
15 Bum Genius 2.0s and microfiber inserts
1 Bumkins AIO
8 prefolds
1 WAHM pocket diaper
2 Bummi Super Whisper Wrap covers
1 Snappi
6 cotton/fleece doublers
A few random fleece pieces to use with diaper cream
