Diaper question

tmccord21

Please excuse if this has been addressed before. Reposting from my month board and I would love some more opinions.  

Hey guys being that I have no idea what shape or size this kid will be I realize I won't know what kind of diaper to use off the bat. I am going to say there is a high chance this kid will be long and skinny based on my gene pool but who knows. 

My question is do any of you guys have experience with seventh generation, earth's best, or honest co? 

I would prefer these brands since they do use less chemicals but they are also all cruelty free. I do my best to not being any products in the home that are tested on animals. 

I was thinking of trying my hand at cloth diapers but I don't have a washer dryer so that makes it more tricky. I would need to research laundry service for this. 

They are all relatively the same price as each other but Honest Co may be better since it is delivered straight to your home and thy include wipes in a bundle package. 

I have one friend that uses Honest and loves it but I would like some other opinions if there are any out there. Thanks!

I do use seven generation when my LO was born,after one month I changed to cloth diapers I did a hand wash for around 7 or 8 month,then I find out about portable washers,and I got one, is going to save your life if you are planing on doing cloth diapers. https://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/68/80/57/39/0068805739551_60X60.gif

We love the Honest Co. diapers. So far we have had no leaking issues. My husband was not on board with cloth diapers and since he is a stay at home dad he got to decide.

If you are interested in using cloth diapers, it might be worth posting this on the cloth diapering board.  I know some ladies there have opted to buy a portable washer since it's still cheaper to buy the washer and cloth diapers than to use disposables for 2.5 years.

Just a thought!

if you're open to other brands we use bambo nature diapers which are non-chlorinated and can be bought on amazon or from the company directly.

A few of us on the cloth diapering board have been talking about doing a daily check-in during the Flats and Handwashing challenge at dirtydiaperlaundry.com. I think it's the last full week of May? 

Like PP said, some people get a portable washer. Others use a handcranking washer. Still others make a camp-style washer using a bucket and plunger. I'm planning to use sold-fashioned washboard for the challenge, if it works out I think it will be a great way to CD when traveling.

I bought a portable washer too off of Amazon.com. It is a good size and was only 159. I will be using cloth at home and Earths Best outside. I have heard lots of good things about them.

We cloth diaper most of the time but when I use disposables, I prefer seventh generation. I have also tried Honest Co but I could not justify the price when I don't use disposables that much and Earth's best. All of them worked fine but the seventh generation seem to fit my slim baby better. They also seem to "move" really well, if that makes sense.

I use the honest company and I love them. No leaks and they are really cute. My son was getting a real nasty rash and some of their healing balm and switching to their diapers cleared it right up.  I like their cleaners a lot too. I called them with an expired promo code (plumdistrict40) and even though they could not apply that promo they gave me 15% off both of my bundles so if you go that way it may be worth calling them and seeing if they will do the same for you.

We live in an apartment with coin laundry, so we usually just hand wash/line dry our diapers. It is not so bad once you get a routine down and figure out what works. When we go on trips, we use Honest Co diapers and they are fantastic as far as sposies go! They are ethically made, plant based, and biodegradable.
