CD not popular?

BbyCarter13 · April 2013

I live in southern Kentucky and evidently CD is not popular around me at all. This weekend I went to BRU, Target, both Walmarts, KMart, Sam's Club, and a few boutique baby stores and consignment stores. Basically every store in town that has baby things and NONE of them had any CD items (expect BRU had 1 large pair of gPants that had been returned). I was very disappointed and upset. I really wanted to get my hands on some different CD's so I could actually see and feel the difference. Now it looks like I am going to have to make plans to go to Louisville or Nashville to find any CD items in a store. That means taking a full day off, finding someone to go with me, and driving 2 hours to either city.

How popular is CDing around you? Do you know many mom's that do it? Can you find things in store or do you have to order everything like me?

I live in the Seattle area. It's like the birth place of modern day hippies. It's pretty popular here. Maybe not my suburb specifically, but in the general area yes.

Is there a Buy Buy Baby near you? I live in NJ, and so far that's the only brick and mortar store that has them near me. Some Targets have started carrying CDs but mine hasn't yet. It is super frustrating, so I totally understand!

Also, maybe try Craigslist??

tokenhoser · April 2013

There are 1 or 2 stores that sell here, but honestly I bought most of mine used online. Just jump in and buy something, you'll be fine.

Don't bother with BRU, Target, Walmart, etc.

Do a google search and see if you have any cloth diaper stores near you. Give them a call or look at their websites and see what they carry.

I live in the Chicago area suberbs and I have

The Jillian's Drawers website has a diaper trial you can do. Also several of the online diaper stores sell gently used that you can try.

I don't have any stores with them near me either. My recommendation is to read reviews and experiences

Also all of the pockets I have ordered so far are the one size kind To try and save the most money.

I bought everything online. Sure, it's not as convenient as getting to compare products in store, but most CD websites have some sort of risk-free trial program that might be worth considering. I slowly see CDs popping-up a independent baby stores and bou

runlong3 · April 2013

The only huge mainstream store (like you mentioned above) that I've ever seen carry them is Target -- and that's only at a brand new huge one they just opened last month. Are you debating on type (pocket v. aio v. prefold) or brand (BG, GroVia, RaR, et

Definitely let your baby boutiques know that this is something you're looking for. Our local store was only carrying one not-so-great brand when I got pregnant with DS. I kept checking back and let the manager know it was something that interested me. App

I live in a very large city and there are very few local stores that carry cloth diapers. I've actually never purchased a new diaper in a store. Everything has been online or off craigslist.

It's really no big deal.

mfoster5 · April 2013

My husband and I are looking into cloth. I am pretty sold but want to make my own so I went searching for examples. The fancy new Target was the only place Icould find one off the shelf. If you go to Target's website it will tell you if it is the local

I don't know any one else that use CD, I do have two stores around that they sell CD,but i get my diapers online after seen what I was looking for.

megemoney · April 2013

I live in Madison, WI; home of Nicki Maynard the owner of Nicki's Diapers and creator of Planet Wise, Imagine Baby Products, and Best Bottom Diapers... it's pretty popular around here I think. I don't know anyone in the area, so I can only assume

ForeverEverAfter · April 2013

I know 2 other moms in town use them, probably more, and the nearest store that carries them is 3 hours away. We don't have a lot of the big stores though. I did lots if research and bought from websites that have real stores near my hometown so I could v

While I know several parents that use CD's for their kids, there is only one good local store that sells CD's and accessories. But they have everything. I try to buy from them as often as possible (to support the store), but will buy things on

bookworm982 · April 2013

I haven't ever lived by a cloth diaper store, so I did all of my research online and ordered online too. That said, I'm in a really rural area and amazed at how often I run into other cloth diapering moms. Basically, I'm on the lookout when I see a fluffy

BbyCarter13 · April 2013

Sorry ladies, I'm normally pretty good at responding after I post something but I got distracted trying to pick out what fluff I want to order.

I plan on ordering everything online but it would be nice to see some things in store before I d

RJM050705 · April 2013

I live in a suburb of Seattle and while I know several people IRL who CD, we don't have a great CD store either. My local (not huge) Target now carries Charlie Bananas. At one time there was a CD store in my area but it closed. I actuall

princessyetz · April 2013

I am in the Denver area and CD is not that popular. BRU and Target do not carry any kind of CD here. There are a couple of boutique shops that have CDs but usually only carry one brand. So, yes, I have ordered all of my CDs from online s

Crinita · April 2013

I live out in the boonies so it's internet or bust for me. I have already encountered a lot of skewed eye looks when people find out I want to CD. Little do they know, I have been using Glad Rags for myself for years. <img src="https://co

mrshudson618 · April 2013

CD is very popular in my circle, but not truely overall. Everyone I know buys either online or used- craigslist or online. I live in Louisville since you mentioned possibly making a trip up here. There are some boutiques here, but most people buy online a

Check out the Babynet KY group on Facebook. It has a lot of Bowling Green moms who use cloth diapers. They're very informative and helpful.

I live in Vancouver, wa. We have a cotton babies location here which is sooo nice!!! But I personally get a lot of negative feedback when people find out I'm CDing. I don't know anyone else who is doing it but I'm sure that's just the people I know.

I'm in Cincy and it's not super popular here either.
