who did the Jillian's Drawers trial?

how did you like it? rants/raves? Did you end up keeping anything?

Also, does the 21 day trial start from when you order, or from when the diapers are delivered TO your house?

Thanks!!

I am liking it. I am going to keep two of the diapers and probably just get the refund in store credit so I can order more of the 2 I like.

Your 21 days start when you get the diapers. There is a little box on the form they give you to write in the date you got the diapers and then add 21 days from there. That is the date your diapers have to be post marked.

I did - though they've updated it since I tried it. It's better now actually. I wish I'd waited a few more weeks before doing my trial and I would have had a better selection.

I kept everything except the KL and the BG AIO. My ds was 7 months old when we started and the Kissaluvs was just ridiculously bulky and not very effective in my opinion. They've removed that from older babies trials now and replaced it with a Fab fitted I think. I probably would have kept that. The aio was convenient but it just took too long to dry for me so we returned that and used the money to get some more prefolds.

The trial starts from the day you get it (which is like 2 days after it ships). You mark on the return sheet what day it arrived and then it has to be postmarked by 21 days after that point. 

I'm really glad that I did it because I was sure that I knew what I was going to do but ended up finding that I didn't like the one style of diapers as much as some others and was suprised by how easy the prefolds were. I had no intention of even trying them but that's what 85% of our stash is now.

I am two weeks in and liking it. I am keeping the PFs, thirsties fab fitted and maybe the BG 3.0. The trial starts from the date you get it at your house. I really like it but I wash every single day right now so DD has diapers each day to wear and it is a LOT of work. I am going to be happy when my order of new diapers comes on Monday so I won't have so much laundry every day!

We did it and really liked it. We actually didn't keep anything from the trial, but for different reasons. The pfs they sent were the one item that came with it that I did NOT like. They were huuuge and not very soft. I ended up ordering ours from GMD and love them though. Also, I had bought 6 BGs around the same time as I got the trial, so I didn't want the one that came with it (which was white, and I liked the colors). And finally, DD really needed a size up. The stuff they sent that was sized (Thirsties fitteds and AIO) fit, but were getting tight. If they'd been bigger, I may have kept those items though.

In the end, it was a good experience b/c it gave us the chance to try a few different diapers and go from there. In the end we chose to go with a combination of pfs and OS pockets. We also have some fitteds now.

I believe the 21 days starts from the time you actually get the diapers, not from when you order it.

I liked it a lot.  I wish I could've picked the diapers I wanted to try.  I kept one BG and the FB.  It starts the day you get it.

I was looking in to doing the trial also.  It states on the website if you are expecting you can order before your do date and prep them and then the 21 days will start when you actually start using them.
