I spent hours and hours and hours and more hours researching the best cloth diapers--by mom's reviews mostly. I still plan to use cloth with Luke, and have now bought the BumGenius Elementals--they are organic, all-in-one, one-size. I know several moms who swear by these, so I hope I will be also. I have a few of the Flips and the inserts (as well as the disposable inserts) for travel too. Sooo...obviously hoping that they are the success we will look for.<br /><br />My husband, uber-mathematician that he is, in trying to convince me that I was just buying into the gimmick that cloth was better for the checkbook than disposable actually spent many hours (and excel sheets) trying to prove me wrong...and couldn't, if all things go as planned--with a high-efficiency washing machine, the laundry detergent through Amazon's auto-refill (CountrySaver seems to be a little known but much loved secret and is SO reasonably priced!) and a big enough stash to get through a couple of days without needing to wash...he at least admitted it was worth trying. <br /><br />But I laughed when you said you were being honest in not necessarily doing cloth for the environment--because in truth, me neither!!!! I absolutely hope that is a great perk, but like you--I just want the best for the baby, our checkbook and our convenience. All the rest being good for the environment and stuff is gravy!<br />xoxoLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828552745708177768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-87602837603715002872010-12-09T11:46:50.604-08:002010-12-09T11:46:50.604-08:00Denise I bought boatloads of cloth diapers for Rei...Denise I bought boatloads of cloth diapers for Reilly and I love them. Granted, he is only big enough for a few of them so we still have to "supplement" with disposables. We have the flips, which I LOVE and I HAVE used the disposable inserts... they work GREAT. We also have a few osocozy diapers, rumparoos, dream-eze and econobums. I love all of them. I do like the covers with hemp inserts better than the all in ones. If you want yummy smelling diapers, use some rockin green soap. I got enough diapers for Reilly to go to potty training (minus the inevitable replacement of inserts, which are only a few dollars a piece) so that I only have to wash every 3 days for just over $200. The disposable inserts for the flips are under $5 and I highly recommend getting the liners to make removing #2 a lot easier. It isn't as time consuming as I thought it would be.*Tracy*https://www.blogger.com/profile/17975400048739804195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-16512385511182975972010-12-09T07:45:48.684-08:002010-12-09T07:45:48.684-08:00I used disposable with my first three and then dec...I used disposable with my first three and then decided to go cloth this time. For the most part we use FLIP diapers and they work great for us and they do have a disposable insert as well.<br /><br />However I do use disposables every once in a while now, but they all seem to leak, whenever he poops.Life With Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305587845611833829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-23367231156768126632010-12-09T00:55:33.250-08:002010-12-09T00:55:33.250-08:00I love the costco kirkland brand or the target bra...I love the costco kirkland brand or the target brand, both are very cost effevtive with no problems. <br />hope you get your diaper issued solved soon. :)tiffanycnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-28436530845232573062010-12-08T22:24:43.989-08:002010-12-08T22:24:43.989-08:00I loved Luvs with my first two babies.

Never had any issues and when they were on sale I would get them for as low as 11 cents per diaper. I'll probably use the same with this baby. We'll see. The whole cloth diaper thing sounds very intimidating to me and, like you said, it doesn't really seem all that environmentally friendly when you factor in the energy used to clean them.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549027869174551591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-64374755150045056692010-12-08T14:56:00.246-08:002010-12-08T14:56:00.246-08:00I have cloth diapered my son since he was 3 months...I have cloth diapered my son since he was 3 months old and I love it. I have never actually had a diaper blow out with cloth, which I find particularly impressive given that I was having at least one a day with disposables. And, they are actually easy to use. I have to wash them about every 3 days. They take only a minimal amount of soap (still on the same bottle a year later) and I throw in some bleach once a month. I also choose to hang dry them rather than using the dryer, just to be a little more cost effective. I currently use both the BumGenius one size and the Flip system. The Flip system has disposable inserts you can buy, but I have never used them. One thing I would say is if you buy a couple cloth diapers and end up hating it, you can actually resell them for about 2/3 what you paid.Jessica G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02069529074063718149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-64430393230915736012010-12-08T14:24:02.141-08:002010-12-08T14:24:02.141-08:00If she doesn't have any problems with the pamp...If she doesn't have any problems with the pampers, then i would stick to that.<br /><br />I know you have said you don't want to risk generics, can i ask why?<br />I LOVE either target brand diapers or walmarts brand (parents choice). I never have had any problems with them and all 4 of my kids have/are currently wearing them. The price is half of what you pay for the name brand and still does its job.<br /><br />You can always buy a small package and try them out, i think they are around 6 dollars for a small pack.2SetsOfTwins4Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888526392718963413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-58408566503317254962010-12-08T13:44:36.654-08:002010-12-08T13:44:36.654-08:00Pampers drymax are safe.

I have had SO MUCH fun finding the newest WHAM cloth diapers... and have seen those Gdiapers, but really didn't get the point. Hope that you find a solution. <br /><br />Cloth diapers are NOT the same as they even were 8 years ago. Oh sure, there are the popular brands that hit the market in a big way, but for my money and my kids skin (and our wallet) cloth for us hands down. But let me preface this with, I have on occasion used disposables, and liked the convenience of those too. I guess I just really like the cuteness factor of the cloth diaper.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795924138335289826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-39246416424719484392010-12-08T12:21:24.206-08:002010-12-08T12:21:24.206-08:00Honestly, I'm papmers all the way and don'...Honestly, I'm papmers all the way and don't buy the chemical burns for a nanosecond. I think stuff comes long once in a while that puts an idea out there and group hysteria takes over.

Bill Nye said so in his new show. You're right with the amount of effort, water, electricity and chemicals it takes to clean them, it isn't any better than filling the landfills.<br /><br />As for us. We are pampers through & through. And maybe they've changed the newborn diapers since Grace was born a year ago, but the swaddlers don't have the drymax stuff in them. <br /><br />But we've watched & she has not reaction to them at all.. she's never even had a diaper rash yet=D I too love pampers!Leesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169744973616226951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885443064519097137.post-24822593424892400112010-12-08T12:12:53.591-08:002010-12-08T12:12:53.591-08:00I don't know when Pampers added that DryMax st...I don't know when Pampers added that DryMax stuff to their diapers but we only used Pampers with Justice and Isaiah, and they didn't have any problems with burns at all. Our most recent usage was, what, eighteen months ago or so? Between the two of them, we only had one diaper rash the whole time...I'm a Pampers mommy!DaphneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920378647208480244noreply@blogger.com
