any cd "experts"

Meg&Jesse

I posted on the EFF before, but didn't get too many responses.  I am in a cd dilemma.  We have used BG 3.0's for close to 18 months now.  For the most part, we have been happy with them.   Lately they are leaking all the time and I have tried stripping them numerous times.  DS also knows how to yank off the velco and has peed/pooped on himself, because the diapers fall off.

So, DH and I are thinking of selling the BG's and investing in new diapers.  We have about 20 BG's and I am thinking I can get $100 for them.  I would buy about 15 new diapers.  Any suggestions on what diapers to get?  I am thinking we have about another year before potty training, so I am hoping this will be worth it.

You can probably get more than 100 if the velcro is decent! I would recommend diapers with snaps. If you haven't totally had it with BG maybe you could try the new organic AIO with snaps?

You could convert your diapers to snaps and get new inserts. Or get the new organic with snaps. I also really like Blueberries.

Yes, I need snaps!!  I am looking at some now with snaps.  The velco is decent on some of the diapers, but not all.  I just feel bad that they keep repelling and that's why I don't think I can get much more for them.  I am not opposed to the BG's, although I am disappointed that we didn't make it to potty training with what we have now.

Are you wanting to stick with pockets?  If so, I'd go with Fuzzi Bunz w/ hemp inserts instead of microfiber.  If you're not totally stuck on pockets I'd switch to fitteds - Sun Seedlings or Goodmamas.  Check out Spots Corner for really good GM deals.

I guess it would be easier to stick with pockets or aio's.  Our day care provider uses the BG's, but they are really easy to use.  I am hoping to stick with something similiar, so we can continue to use them at day care (and when the grandparents are changing diapers!!)

I second fitteds. We have some pockets for out & about but our fitteds are bulletproof.

For pockets, I really like GAD (Green Acre Designs). I use a hemp prefold in mine. They are side snap. I got mine at Pittsburgh Cloth Diapers.

I hated BG's.

A lot of it depends on what you want out of them. I love the absorbency of a prefold, but didn't find them any less convenient than a pocket or AIO. Some people do. I use only flats now (major water issues here) and I love them. I would suggest getting some different types--a few fitteds, some AIOs and have the rest of your stash be prefolds. Out of the hundreds of diapers I've owned (yes, really, I'm a diaper whore), prefolds have always remained my favorite. They never fail me! Fitteds are the next favorite. I'm just not a huge pocket/AIO fan.

Im with everyone else on the snaps, we have a few Fuzzi Bunz with the micro fiber but would get the hemp inserts instead. Also, plain ole prefolds would works too, I think.

Also, you could get a lot more then $100 for all your diapers, even in only decent condition. I would ask at least $140-$160 that $7 or $8 a diaper and totally reasonable

I am new at CD so I dont have any expert advice... but I will tell you I just bought 5 BG 3.0s for $14 each and I believe these have some repelling issues too  

Can you just buy some new/different inserts?  Maybe that would help

I like my haute pockets with snaps, or my blueberries with snaps. HPs are much cheaper though.
