  counting my prefolds I have enough diapers to go six days.  Without my prefolds, 4 days

  If the house ain't burned down and the baby's fed it was a successful day.

  between my AIO's and flip/inserts - I could probably go a whole week...or more. 16 sized BG AIOs, 18 elementals, 6 OS for nighttime, and 4 flips + gobs of inserts. Oh I forgot about the 8 OS i got for swim dipes but could use if needed. And those are just the boy ones. I could break into my girl stash Ive accumulated for Daughter to be (due in nov) - geez i have alot of dipes.

  Cloth diapering, VBAC, BF & FF, AP momma to two 2 and under. Special needs - DS born with clubfoot and diastrophic dysplasia (dwarfism)

  I wash every 3 days and I have washed and left the diapers in the basket and only used what was still on the changing table until the next wash and still been fine.  I am thinking a week (this includes flats & prefolds).

  I don't think I could make it more than 3 days - maybe 4 if I really scrounged.

  I think I have enough to go 7-8 days, but that's because DD still fits all her small fitteds along with her OS dipes, and I put medium fitteds on her even though they're a tad big. If I used all my "emergency" prefolds I could probably go 9-10 days. If there were a reason I couldn't wash and needed to use all my diapers, I'd probably squeeze her into some small AIOs and push the stash to last 2 weeks! I'm starting to think I have too many diapers.

  I could probably go 4-5 days at this point if I really got down and dirty and used my Flips with all of the assorted inserts I bought for them.  Right now those are all hanging out in a drawer and I'm using pockets only - and even then, I can go almost three full days before I feel like I'm really running out.

  I could probably go a week. ?
  
  A lady on another forum goes this long. She puts LO on the potty for poops and sprays pee diapers with vinegar after they dry (vinegar offsets ammonia). ?
  
  Ingenious.

  With twins, I am scraping the bottom of the perverbial barrel by the end of day 3. So could probably go 5-6 days with a singleton.
