Cloth Diapering

Sposies for travel?

What kind of sposies do you all use (if/when you really have to)?

I've read other posts that say it's a good idea to use a flip cover over the top of them to prevent leaking, but I would have NO idea what kind to buy at this point.  We're most likely going to move in the next few months (>1000 miles away), and we'll either be driving or flying... either way, I don't know if it'll be too much trouble to carry around tons of diapers/wet bags and then have to wash right when we get to our destination.  Advice on that whole situation would be appreciated too!

Also, we're entering hurricane season and I'm thinking it might be a good idea to have a backup pack of sposies here just in case... 

Anyways... I think I've read about Seventh Generation being good?  Other suggestions?  Are pampers/huggies/LUVs, etc built better for a certain baby body type?  DD is long and fairly skinny... maybe one little thigh leg roll.

  • I like seventh generation. LO had a bad reaction to the pampers swaddlers the hospital gave us, so I avoid dyes and perfumes. I use a cover over, either a grovia or flip, and they've worked great. We used them for air travel and no leaks.

  • I use Pampers, Huggies or Target Up&Up brand.  All are fine IMO.  The only time they have leaked is when LO is sick and has had diarrhea.  But the cloth leaked too in that case.

  • I just buy Pampers or Huggies, whatever is on sale. Never had an issue with leaks or fit. DS was an average baby and is skinny toddler.

  • We liked Huggies Pure & Natural when we lived in the States. Can't find them here in the UK, but I've found a mostly biodegradable brand here that doesn't have the perfume that the major brands have.

  • Target Up&Up are what we use for disposables.  My kids are long and lean and both have really bad reactions to disposables more often than not.  But these are chlorine free and neither of them have had any issues.  Also...WICKED absorbe

  • We used either Pampers Baby Dry or Luvs for DD1 and DD2. I liked them because they weren't as bulky as other brands. DD1 was tall and thin. DD2 was tall but heavier. The diapers fit both girls just fine. The only times we really had blow outs were when we

  • I think my problem is that it's to the point where people like OP assume it's just impossible to buy a pack of diapers and have no issues. Yes, I prefer my cloth diapers, but I've used a variety of brands and sizes and every single one of them has been

  • You're the one making novella posts about how disposables don't work for some people in a simple "what disposable brand should I buy for travel" post.

    I feel the same way on the bf-ing topic - the horror stories of how HARD breastfeeding is and a

  • I use seventh generation with no problems.

     

  • My posts weren't at all about disposables sucking. I was telling you to stop being so pushy with your own agenda. Just because YOU think it's easier to use disposables on vacation doesn't mean you should try to force it down anyone else's throat. Just

  • We love Earth's Best. Seventh Generation was too thin and leaked for us but DD is a pretty heavy wetter. Never had a problem with Earth's Best. We didn't switch to cloth until 18 months wish I had tried sooner! so used then for quite awhile.

  • We used Swaddlers and it was the first time she had a poop blow out. I was so surprised & didn't even have a change of clothes for her! 
  • We use pampers. The only other brand I've tried is the Target brand, which didn't fit my LO at all and were a bit leakfest. She has skinny legs and they just didn't work. Most people love them though and they are much cheaper.
