Disposable vs. Diaper Service

mbviscomi

Does anyone have experience with a diaper service in South OC?  We are thinking about cloth vs. disposable.  Also, has anyone tried the Target brand up & up?

 

THANKS!

I have tried Target Up & Up and they are OK.  Not great.  I fimd he pattern on them annoying, but that's kinda silly.  But, I only tried them for overnight (12+ hours), not during the day.  They small strongly of pee when the girls get up, and we did have one leak.

We love Pampers Swaddlers, and still have 2 large boxes left before we're going to try to switch to something cheaper (maybe Luv's?).  I hear Up & Up are not good for the really small sizes (NB-2), though.

Ditto Kim's review of the Up & Up.  I bought them once but wasn't impressed for the savings.  We used Pampers Baby Dry for DD.  

We are CD'ing #2 and I'm using BG 3.0s.  Have you considered CD without a service?  It is more cost effective than using one but then, of course, is the issue with more laundry.

Thanks for the input.  Sorry, but I'm new.  What are BG 3.0s?  THANKS!

I use cloth but i wash my own for the cost savings. A diaper service will run you about the same price as disposables.

I use BumGenius 3.0. They are a pocket diaper so I have a shell that I stuff with a microfiber insert. Once they're stuffed they work just like a disposable except that you don't throw them out- you wash them.

I also CD without a service, we wash at home. I have details in my blog on what system we use and what has worked for us.

I have a kid in size 5 now and we used up and up and loved them. he also wore them in size 3 and 4 and they worked great. I would compare them to huggies..in those sizes. I can't speak for anything smaller.
