are you an all or nothing family?

jw87 · April 2013

We cloth during the day, but we had such a horrible time with leaks at night that we use overnight diapers for that and nap-time.

We decided this was best for us, what about your family?

(three FLIP stay dry inserts and a hemp doublers still left us with the occasional leak)

KatelynEA90 · April 2013

We CD unless we are on a vacation without washing machines. The few times we use disposables, she always leaks overnight.

Latham12 · April 2013

We CD during the day and use a disposable at night until we run out of what we were given.

Lennongirl · April 2013

We use cloth 24/7, vacations included.

DD has worn a disposable swim diaper once when we were at a friend's house and I couldn't find her swim diaper.

The last time she wore sposies before that wa

Audtee · April 2013

We CD during the day and use a sposie at night. No matter what cloth combination we put him in, he always woke up with his PJs wet from leaks. He is a ridiculous heavy wetter and sleeps 12 hours at night and the sposie can handle that.

dizzycooks · April 2013

All cloth, unless we are on vacation for more than 3 days with no access to laundry. Which has happened exactly once since she was born. We have the occasional leak, but even if it were daily, it's not enough for me to use disposables. T

Angela814 · April 2013

I used disposables with DD1 and DD2. DD3 was in them at the hospital and maybe the first day home. She's been in cloth since then. We also do cloth at night with DD2. We fully intend to use disposables for vacations.

jennyelf · April 2013

We're disposable at DC and cloth at home. I change LO into a cloth diaper when I pick him up so that we never have to throw away a disposable at home.

Long trips where we won't have access to a washer, we use disposable, shorter trips we'll try

hispenguin · April 2013

DD is in cloth all of the time except the day she is in Daycare and when she has a horrible rash.

It took us awhile to find something that would work for nap and bedtime, but we eventually did.

To be honest, the thought of sposies completely gross me out. I

jesstellina · April 2013

We CD exclusively. We bought one pack of sposies when she was 10 mos old. We were on a day trip 2 hrs away from home and had forgotten the bag that had her extra diapes, so we only had one with us in the diaper bag. I kept that bag in the trunk but never

=Lee=B · April 2013

Haven't travelled yet (a few small trips planned in coming months and plan to use cloth), so far we use cloth except the last few days she is in sposies round the clock because of a bad open wound rash. The doctor wanted her on a 40%zinc Desitin.

ukcats27 · April 2013

We CD 24/7. I plan on doing it on vacation this summer because we will have access to a washing machine.

sarenu1 · April 2013

We started out in disposables for the first 2 months. I moved to cloth diapering during the day only.

Then about 2 months ago we started overnight.

However, I was a dummy and she got a bad amonia burn the other night. So she

tokenhoser · April 2013

We use cloth unless we're travelling. Then we buy a pack of disposables. For me, it's not a vacation if I have to worry about what to do with the diapers and how I'm going to wash them. <img src="https://community.thebump.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" al

rubysue267 · April 2013

DS is in a daycare that doesn't accommodate CDs, so as much as we'd love to ditch the cost of disposables altogether we only CD at home. We will sometimes use disposables when DS has diarrhea since they allow me to really slather on the Triple Paste, but

Into+the+Kitty · April 2013

We use cloth 24/7. I have a collection of flats that I use if we are traveling where we may not be able to use someone's washer. They won't get messed up from using laundromat. I've hand washed before, and while it's not my preferred vacation method, i

tjkdlhb · April 2013

We pretty much only travel to visit family, so we can use their machines. I'm undecided about what we will do this summer when we have to go to another province for me to finish my courses. It kills me to spend all of that money on disposables

doxgirl · April 2013

We were up to a point with DS. Then nothing seemed to work. We had leaks with everything, so we switched him to disposables. DD is in cloth with the exception if we are traveling without access to a washer. Honestly, having to do

halvorsonl00 · April 2013

We cd all the time. We haven't gone on a long enough vacation yet where laundry was a problem.

veruca5839 · April 2013

We CD 24/7 except for when DD is in school (one day a few hours per week and they only use sposies, so she wears two sposies one day a week). So far we've used CDs on trips. The only time we've had to use sposies for a longer stretch is when s

mamatobe2012 · April 2013

Cloth whenever he's with us, but at daycare he does 50% cloth and 50% honest company diapers. One of the 2 ladies that watch him is really opposed to the cloth diapers so I just have to pick my battles. They are really good to him and very

DaisyJanie · April 2013

24/7 here, except when we fly somewhere. We've used sposies a couple weeks in the last few months because I was trying to figure out a rash and was trying anything and everything. I don't mind using them when necessary, but I always feel like I'm wasting

MyNameWasTaken · April 2013

Depends. If I'm traveling to someone's house for the first time, I do ask if it's okay to use their washer/dryer first. If not, I use disposables and pray hard that there are no messes, because I've yet to find a disposable that holds her poop. Otherwise,

hmhiggin · April 2013

We aren't all or nothing. We've used sposies on vacation. We've used sposies when she has a rash. We've used sposies because I didn't feel like doing diaper laundry. We use overnight specific disposables too. Although I am getting ready to try my first at

ObLaDi · April 2013

We've been 24/7 for a few weeks, now that my DH is on board.

I much prefer cloth but wouldn't be totally opposed to using a handful of sposies if we encountered a scenario where it was much more convenient.

bunniekrissy · April 2013

We CD almost 100% of the time, but we have used disposables on vacation. We continued CDing when we had to stay at my parents' due to a slab leak at our house. We've bought a couple packages of sposies which we've gone through slowly in cases of "emergenc

ForeverEverAfter · April 2013

We started cloth in the hospital, we do it 24/7. We bought one pack of newborn JIC and I used them on a long car trip. We also used sposies with a cover when flying and on our last day of vacation so we wouldn't have dirty dipes to travel with. We fly sta

3Dewdrops · April 2013

We used Huggies overnights when she hit about a year and a half because I got tired of changing sheets. She potty trained soon after though and miraculously never wet the bed at night once. (We stopped giving her fluids right before bed at
