Just curious if anyone registered for CD and had people actually purchuse them as shower gifts. We put a few Flips on our BRU registry and mentioned that we are also registered at Jillian's Drawers, but I have a feeling people will go for more "traditional" shower gifts. Has anyone gotten them as gifts?
Re: Cloth diapers at shower?
I did and was so thrilled! I think a couple of things play into our "success"--CDing is not uncommon in my circle, we are known as being a very EF/voluntary simplicity family and so no one was surprised by our decision, CDs made up about 70% of our registries since our needs/wants for baby were otherwise very meager.
More Green For Less Green
Nope. We had some on our registry and no one touched them. We got a disposable diaper cake at our shower (fortunately the only diapers we got).

We got a pack of kissaluvs from my uncle who said, "this is the dumbest idea I have ever heard" showed him...doofus.
We also got a cover from a friend and three of my husband's friends got us prefolds and a fitted (women in case you were wondering) but that was from a local CD store-I think they were curious and went there and ended up buying us stuff.
We put a note on our BRU registry that said we were cloth diapering and registered at Kelly's Closet. I didn't expect anyone to get us anything from KC..since most of our friends think we are crazy for trying it (we are the only people we know who will be/have CD in current times) and our families still think of it as flats with plastic pants (regardless of what we say or show them)...lol..But, we were very surprised when some of my coworkers went in together and got us the diaper sprayer we registered for, along with 6 kawaii pocket diapers. Another coworker has a neighbor who makes diapers from old t-shirts..and she gave us 1 fleece cover, and 2 fitteds...it was really cool and a total surprise to have people support our efforts like that...=)
So you might be surprised... It doesn't hurt to go for it..register.. and put the word out there that you intend to CD. Good luck!
my "granola" friends bought us CDs while family went traditional.
My favorite cloth diaper shop!
Same here!
I've been slowly stocking up on diapers and wool soakers since I was maybe 3 months along.. My family doesn't argue it, but thinks it's "a little overkill", especially after I told them I'd be making the baby food, too.
