Heya folks, I thought I'd pop in and start a thread about cloth diapering. I saw that another woman was also using them in the photos thread, and I'm highly pleased!
I personally started out on disposable diapers; they were easy to acquire and everyone kept telling me I'd hate cloth. I had talked about using them a lot through out the pregnancy (I mean, they're so CUTE! All the pretty designs!)... but once my little man was hear I was quickly shaken from the idea. People just kept saying it was gross, you wouldn't be able to handle it, blah blah blah...
And then one day, as I was changing his diaper, my significant other suggested we buy a big pack he saw on Ebay. At this point we were staying out on our own and no one was in our ear about it, and so we took the dive. It was a slow transition; probably took all of a month. You could see how much happier my little boy was with wearing the cloth, though. He wouldn't cry when he was getting changed if we throw a insert at him, because he knew what was coming next lol
Well, we stuck with it and now we're the proud owners of about 60 diapers, 120 inserts, and a very happy wallet. I could've never imagined the amount of money we would save! On a more personal note it's also fun trying to accessorize with them... oh my I love looking for patterns that match his cloths xD
So, the discussion!
>How do you feel about cloth diapers?
>What are some of your favorite brands? Do you care?
>Do you use the prefolds or do you prefer the diaper cover/insert combo?
>Anything else you can think of pertaining to the subject
P.S
I'm no brand hunter for cloth diaper covers/inserts. I use Happy Flute, some chinese company that sells large packs pretty cheap (40/80 for about 70-79 bucks. 20/40 for about 50 bucks on Ebay. They stand the test of time pretty well! No tears in the poly inside of the diaper covers, no seams unraveling, etc.).
