Recent thread got me wondering -- how many different brands/types of diapers do you have in your stash?
How many brands/types of diapers in your stash? 105 votes
1. We have one brand/type of diaper and it's all we need.
2. One type for daytime, one for overnight (or, one at home and one for out-and-about or for daycare or other caregivers)
3 or more -- we like having a variety of diapers to choose from.
Re: How many brands/types of diapers in your stash?
I don't have any flats/snap-in style AI2s... but I guess prefolds/covers count as an AI2 essentially. I also haven't tried disposable inserts yet... so no hybrids...
brands: blueberry(swaddlebees)/BumGenius/AMP/GroVia (newborn AIO)/S'bish/TotsBots/Kawaii (PNs)/OsoCozy/SweetPea/Thirsties/Happy Heinys
Fitteds- Lil Lion, Bamboozles
Pockets/AIO- BG, TotsBots, simplex, blueberry, alvas, RaR, Charlie Banana (just now decided to get rid of my 4 FB pockets)
AI2- Lil Helper, Best Bottoms, GroVia
ETA: assorted prefolds
Covers- thirsties, blueberry, prowrap, homemade
Pockets- diaper rite, coolababy, kawaii
AIO- BG, smart bottoms, imagine
fitteds- GMD newborn, homemade
AI2- best bottoms
typing this out it seems like a lot, but I have mostly 1 or 2 of each brand to try. except prefolds and fitteds, I have a bunch of those.

However, we also own cheapie pockets that are terrible and are only used for swim dipes, so I don't count them.

Annnd ordering those BBs today.
We also have Best Bottoms inserts on the way and will most likely be getting some more wool soakers/longies soon to start using fitteds and wool more during the day too.

I voted 1 type since I started with all prefolds and covers (3 brands of covers though) and then switched to AI2s (6 BB and I cheated and used the BB inserts in my prefold covers a bit in the beginning) and now I'm going back to prefolds in my BB covers and attempting to do wool covers for the first time. I did have some pockets but I used them more as covers with my BB inserts than I ever did as pockets.
I have a love/hate relationship with my SweetPea cover -- I love how well it works but I hate all the snaps. About the time I want to sell it, I use it and like it again for a few changes then I want to sell it again.
