B's waist finally filled out enough for our size 1 Thirsties and prefolds (buh bye, disposables!).
Describe for me your changing area: what kind of pail are you doing, wipes, how frequently do you run your laundry, what are the most useful CD accessories you've got?
Thanks, ladies!

Re: Cloth Diapering Moms...
Lurking from January... We've done cloth since coming home from the hospital. Downstairs where we spend most of our time, we have a pnp with changer. I keep my wipes, spray, and creams in the storage area there. We use a combo of flats and covers and AIOs. I fold my flats right out of the dryer, and stack them in the storage area too. We have an open plastic garbage pail with a liner in our downstairs bathroom.
The AIOs we use overnight upstairs. We have a changing pad on DH's dresser and RAR wetbag hanging on our closet door. I do laundry every other day, though with our prefolds I could go every three. I prefer the flats though.
My snappis are getting a ton of use, and I love the CJ's Spritz Butter.

So far we have done 3 loads of diapers in the wash. We use Charlie's Soap, and I have been doing a pre-wash, wash, and extra rinse, but the dipes are a little stinky coming out of the dryer, so we are still experimenting with fixing that!
ETA: We use a kitchen trash can with a swinging lid for our diaper pail, and a Planet Wise pail liner.
We have two changing areas: one in DD's room with a changing pad and one in our living room on our oversized ottoman where we are most of the time. We have a waterproof cover laid out over the ottoman and keep a stack of prefolds and Pampers wipes on it. We use mainly Thirsties covers and have 1 RaR and 1 Imagine cover as well. We don't use a pail, just Planet Wise wet bags and they work amazingly well. We also have 10 or so FB OS Elite pockets that we use interchangeably. I can get away with doing laundry every 2-3 days. We use the BG powder detergent.
We have our changing table set up with dipes in the top drawer and a basket with cjs butter and wipes in the wipe warmer. I plan to use cloth wipes later but right now we're using up all our wet wipes we got at showers. I use a planet wise wet bag. We have a diaper sprayer as well though we don't seem to really need it yet. I've been washing every day with publix free and clear detergent.
We do diaper laundry every other day and use powdered original Tide. Our wash routine for an HE top loader is quick wash warm with cold rinse, heavy duty wash hot with Tide and cold rinse, extra cold rinse.
We use a tub of CJ's butter. We use GroVia cloth wipes and I store them in a wet wipe container in a solution of water and CJ's Carcass Cleaner.
