Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Cloth Diapers

Im interested in using them but I'd like to know from ppl that use them what they think! I also have a toddler that were potty training does anyone use the training pants?

What would you recommend buying? brand?

How many to start off? or must haves? ( to get started)

 How much money would you say you save a month?

Anything else you can tell me is greatly appreciated!

Re: Cloth Diapers

  • The best place to get advice is from the EFF board.  They are amazing :-)

    We use prefolds--I have 48--with 3 Thirsties covers. 

    I also have some g-diapers with cloth inserts (1 size small & 6 size med/large and 24 cloth inserts)

    I also have 4 fuzzibunz with 20 cloth inserts--I'm not a huge fan of these though, because after each use the whole diaper needs to be washed, unlike with the g-diaper, you just wash the insert.

    For fastening--I also use the snappi's--I have 6 of those.  They are fantastic :-)  No bloody fingers from those dumb pins.

    LO is in a sposie at night time because he pees through the CD's.  We use target up & up brand for bed/naps.

  • Thank you for all the info, I'll be sure to check over on that board!
  • I am pretty new at this, but I also recommed talking to the eco friendly board. So far, I have 36 unbleached indian prefolds and 3 thirstie covers. I did order 3 more covers this weekend since I would like to have more on hand for him. 

    I have some gdiapers, but he is not big enough to try them out yet. So far, I have been doing laundry every other day and have not come close to running out. My husband is agreeable to the switch- we used disposables that people gave us until we ran out and then switched to cloth.

    I also recommend watching some you tube videos to get an idea of what all is involved in changing them and different folds that can be used. It helped my H out a lot.
