Canadian Mommas: Whats in your stash?

melandbri · February 2012

I'd love some suggestions for different brands to try to have a variety but I know some brands you have to pay for crazy shipping or others you cant get in Canada (GMD for example)

So what is in your stash? If it came from the states was shipping really expensive?

Thanks!

First, well.ca is my favorite national website. Free shipping.

I have rearz prefolds, and a lot of kawaii pockets. I've bought some stuff off diaperswappers from the states, so my fitteds are muttaqins, cozzy bunz, and goodmamas.

I tend to buy local to avoid shipping - a mom here has a shop she runs out of her house. Even buying from a boutique can be cheaper than shipping stuff in.

I have Bumgenius Onesize and I find that they never leak. They are pretty bulky and I really don't like the velcro. I absolutely love my Grovia hybrids! They are AMAZING! Can't say enough things about them. If you are looking for some in Canada try checking out www.peekaboobottoms.com they are changing to an online only store so they are clearing out a bunch of stuff they wont carry. Wednesday she is marking down a bunch more stuff, so take a look!

I'm not canadian, but I have an AMP dipe which is a canadian company. I bought it on EBB and its my fave diaper.

I have a bunch of Motherease fitted's and covers that I bought at a local consignment store. They were prepped but not used. I stocked up on some Kawaii for daycare, and I have a few fuzzibunz as well.

I have a ton of BG 4.0's which are by far my favourite. I also have some Blueberry bamboo OS pockets. I've just started using some Happy Hempy pocket fitteds with a wool cover for overnight.

I also frequent Peekaboobottoms and The Cloth Diaper Shop as well. I found it was cheaper to buy online when buying larger quantities of diapers, as well as when there were bulk sales (ie. buy 5 get 1 free) that the regular stores just didn't offer. There are a few boutiques and cloth diaper stores around that I also visit for detergent, diaper cream, etc.

Edit: I did start out with a bunch of Best Bottom diapers (that I'm trying to sell) that I bought from the states. They weren't available at Canadian retailers at the time. Shipping was very expensive and it just took forever to get here. After that I stick to retailers that are in my area.
