Cloth Diapers

emclarenicks

Hello ladies!  Not sure if there is a different/better board to post this on, but DH and I are interested in possibly using cloth diapers.  Do any of you have a specific website that gives info about and a good price on these?  Thanks!

Post on the Eco-Friendly Family board.  We are also going to CD, and I have found great information from the ladies on that board.  They are all experts!  Many of them have links to blogs for recommendations, CD styles, a starter inventory, etc.

 

GL!

Ditto Nicole: the EFF board. Also, Iris427 has some CD info in her bio and DomerJenC has info in her blog about her CD-ing if you find her online. ?

The blog that summed it up best for me were these two posts:

I use cloth with DD.  I get all my diapers from  www.greenmountaindiapers.com and I use the good ole fashioned prefolds (rectangle of cotton folded around baby) and nylon pull-up pant (like the old school plastic ones, but they're breathable). All my accessories come from a website Jillians Drawers (google) . I have spent a total of $250 on diapers and accessories for my 14 month-old and since she is partially potty trained, that is all I will need to spend.  (HUGE BONUS!!!)

Most people on these boards are bonkers over the bum genius diapers, and I tried them but still preferred the prefolds- but they are popular for many reasons besides the fact that they are so damn cute, I'm sure.  I would try the EFF board, as suggested, and recommend trying one of the trial packages so you can try out the many different kinds before investing in a full stash.  It is so overwhelming when you really get into the research b/c there are SO many kinds, but a trial package will allow you to try them all.  Good luck and enjoy!
