When I first started researching CDing, before DD was born, I stressed out over all the super expensive fitteds and gorgeous wool that I didn't have the budget for. I tried a little bit of everything in DD's first few months. Finally I came to peace with having a simple stash, and I love it so much more!
We have 24 Kawaii Heavy Duty pockets (all white...lol). These don't work for us at night though so I just ordered two Best Bottom shells with some overnight inserts.
From about 3-6 months, DD exclusively wore mama made pre-fitteds that I recycled out of her newborn prefolds. Those things were the.best.diapers.ever. I was really sad when she outgrew them, and I wished I had had them when she was newborn!
Anyone else with really simple stashes?
Re: Anyone else with a simple stash?
Me! Although not by choice
I'd love to be able to buy all of the pretty diapers that some bumpies on here do, *sigh* they're soo gorgeous! However, we had a tight budget to begin with and with me recently being laid off and with helping my mom out with the funeral.. I have zero money for cute cd's
Our "stash" consists of 3 covers and a bunch of prefolds I was able to get cheap due to stains, which luckily came off. And 3 FB I bought off a bumpie.
Me. It is also not by choice, we just don't have they money right now. I am allowed one pretty AI2 a month.
I have 4 covers, 18 Flip inserts, and 18 prefolds (mostly cotton and 2 hemp). Pretty boring. Oh and I have 1 AI2 .
I envy you.

TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!
FYI- Grovia is starting a special tomorrow with 3 AI2 shells, 50 biosoakers, and some sample packets of tiny bubbles for $50. We already love and use their snap in soakers.
I seriously can't even afford that. Seriously.
I wish money weren't so tight right now, but with everything being so unfortunate all at once (budget, job loss, funeral costs, and hours cut for DH) I'm just happy we can afford to pay bills and groceries. Although it's been close some times. - Way off topic, I know, sorry! Just need a place to vent/share, don't have anyone to talk to about it irl
::raises hand:: I'm a simple stasher too.
I have BBs but am getting those ready to sell since we've been having major leak issues and I'm going back to basics with prefolds and covers. I actually LOVED prefolds so I'm glad to be going back but DH isn't so thrilled that I'm going back to them after I already sold our old stash of them. [insert sheepish grin here] Oh well! I have some fitteds too but none of the really cute ones, just very functional ones, babykicks mostly, and a few wool covers (2 that I made) IF money were no object, I'd probably have a couple of cute fitteds and maybe some of the beautiful/adorable wool out there, but for the most part I'm a really practical person and wouldn't be able to justify the cost of the pretty dipes to myself. That's just me.

The Chaos of Six!
This, almost exactly! Except I mostly use prefolds (and some me-made fitteds) at home, leaving pockets for daycare. And I only have one baby
I still wouldn't call my stash "simple." It is BIG. But I definitely don't have a million different types of diapers like I used to.
