In other news, I was able to go visit Rhea at Sunshinediapers.com on Tues. If any one is thinking abotu cloth diapering, $5 off for mentioning me when you shop with Rhea. I purchased several different types of diaper systems to try them to see what I liked best. After spending over $100 in 3 weeks on disposable diapers for my prolific pooper, I was off to find the perfect cloth solution. My reviews are as follows:
- Kissaluvs Marvels- a one size, all in one rated for 7-35#...way too bulky for a newborn, gap-y at the legs, too expensive for knowing about BG 4.0 $22.95 each
- bumGenius(BG) Organic- a one size, all in one for 7-35#. $24.95 Fit the best on a little baby, but almost a must to dry them in the dryer...not a fave of a line-dry queen. Snaps instead of velcro, not quite as user friendly.
- weehuggers cover- love the fit, way too expensive for a cover, but very cute fabric- $18.95
- weehuggers bamboo inserts and fleece stay-dry socks- good absorbancy and very light weight, not too much bulk. $6.95 and $3.95 respectively
- thirsties duo size one cover- love the fabric, love the fit, love the price. These can be used for 2-3 diaper changes with a new insert. Can also be used with disposable inserts like the "flip" system, while out and about. $13.95
- thirsties dual insert- love the absorbancy and the ease of use with the stay-dry fleece side. $6.95
- bumGenius 4.0- one-size, pocket diaper. Comes with 2 inserts- reg and newborn. Love the fit and love the ease of velcro. Fit a newborn very well with the newborn insert. Drys the fastest of anything on the line. Still my favorite by far!
The verdict:
We will be using the diapers that I already purchased until I can purchase 10 more bumGenius 4.0, one more thirsties cover and 4 more thirsties inserts. This will help get us thru until he is not going thru so many diapers. At that point the BG and extras should be enough!
