Is this enough and is it a good deal?

Kristen050

We have a local mom swap and a lady there is selling her clothes diaper set. I've been doing a lot of research trying to figure out if CD is something we want to do. I know about the trials through Jillian's drawers but this seems like a pretty good and don't want to pass it up if so. Can anyone give some advice as to if you think this is enough of a stash and what else I might need? I know getting just one brand may not work for us but like I said this seems like a good deal. The lady said that these are she used to diaper her child, she used the one size from 1 month on and the mediums and larges from 5 months on along with the one sizes after that. She used sposies for the newborn stage because she got a lot from her baby shower to last and we actually have a lot of newborn and size ones too leftover from DS 1 so that may work for us as well. I'm also thinking I may try a trial from Jillians drawers or something like that for the first few weeks and if there are other brands I like get a few of those to compliment this stash. Price for these is $200. Let me know what to guys think, and thanks for the help!

 

 Here is what is in this "lot":

"One Size Elite" Fuzzi Bunz Diapers:
2 large (one dark blue, 1 light blue (hardly used)
8 medium buttercream yellow
6 medium light sage green

"Perfect Size" Fuzzi Bunz Diapers: (adjustable so one size fits all)
7 buttercream
8 light sage

Liners:
11 unused small size (they fit in the medium diapers too)
5 small
15 medium
23 large size (we used them in all the diapers and although they are larges, they fit in all. GREAT size to use at night!)

ALL snaps are in good shape! I also have about 10 replacement elastics for the "Perfect Size" diapers that we never needed to use.

Sorry the pic is so big. She also says she has 2 wet bags she can give me.

Those do NOT appear to be OS Elites, just the old OS style. I would ask her to clarify b/c they are different. I've only used the Elites, but I have heard good things about the old ones, too.

 And it seems like she is confused which is the perfect size vs the OS. You can't replace the elastics on the perfect size, they are for the OS. 

As far as if it's a good deal or not, it seems to be. Looks like 31 diapers, which would equal to less than $7 a piece. Normally FBs go for at least double that.

Someone on another board mentioned her confusion with the perfect size vs. one size so I will ask her to clarify. Do you think this is enough of a stash? Thanks very much for your advice!

If what she posted is correct minus the confusion about OS/PS, then it should be enough. You'll probably have to do laundry a bit more often until the mediums fit, which won't be until LO is 15-16 lbs. The OS should fit when LO is about 10-12 lbs.

Also, I've never used FB over night. I suggest trying it out, seems like you'll get a lot of different inserts to try out, but if they don't work you'll only really need to get 3-4 more diapers for overnights.

I just wanted to say that you should try fb on your baby before purchasing an entire stash of just one type of diaper. Fb never have fit LO-they always leaked on her.
