Cloth Reviews

So far things are going well with cloth! First off, I absolutely LOVE the idea of cloth diapering Liam! They're sooo cute, they're helping the environment and best of all...SAVING MONEY! With my first purchase I tried a few different kinds and each one is really different. I think it's almost like disposables in that you really have to find what diaper best fits your child! So needless to say, we're still trying different kinds. So far we've tried Happy Heiny's with snaps and velco, bum genius with snaps and velcro and also fuzzi bunz with snaps. So far my favorite is the fuzzi bunz with snaps. My reviews so far are this:

I wasn't much of a fan of the bum genius although I have to say I liked the snaps over the velco in this brand! They are pretty fitting though, which is nice because the one thing I don't like with some different brands of cloth diapers are when they're bulky!!

The happy heiny's worked well...I liked both the snaps and velcro. The snaps worked best again...I think it's just nice because I didn't worry they'd come loose or anything. These velcro ones though were better than the bum genius just because they're large tabs and the velco ones are most like disposables! So they're quick and easy for squirmy toddlers ;)

Like I said though the Fuzzi Bunz were my favorite so far! They were very trim to his bum, so his clothes fit well overtop and they were snaps so I didn't worry they might come undone. I plan to try another version of the Fuzzi Bunz...and I'll keep you posted!!



With all 5 of these diapers I used microfiber inserts. All five of these diapers were pocket diapers, and the one bum genius was an all in one...which you don't technically need an insert for, but you can use one if you have a heavy wetter or for over nights! The only problem with the all in ones (AIO) is that they take MUCH longer to dry! So I wasn't a fan of that!! With the other diapers it typically only took one cycle in the dryer...and when/IF it ever stops raining in this lovely state of Washington....I mean NY...I will probably line dry all my diapers and then just air fluff them a bit to soften them up! This will save more money...not having to use my dryer!

Ok so back to the inserts....I have been using all microfiber inserts. However, I've heard AMAZING things about the hemp inserts. So my plan is to also try these!! Apparently they make inserts that are both hemp and microfiber, so I'll be buying a couple of these to try. Liam is quite the wetter and apparently the hemp is really good for that!! I'll keep you posted on that!

I also looked into a diaper sprayer this week!! That seems like GOD's gift to cloth diapering parents!! Basically it's just like the sprayer on your kitchen sink, but it hooks up to the toilet so you can just rinse off the soiled diapers right ino the toilet!! It just doesn't get much easier than that!! So we may need to be getting one of these!! :)



Other than that...we're still working on finding what works best for us! It's all trial and error. Although each diaper is different they all do the job, just some are better or easier than others. I'll keep you posted as we continue...if you have any questions though feel free to ask, I am full of information now on cloth diapers!! lol!
