Cloth Diapering

Dilemma

So...mh is cool with one new diaper a month (he has a video game allowance, and he suggested I put money aside for Starbucks each month)-I told him I would much rather have a new diaper each month and brew my coffee at home. I only drink regular coffee there anyway

Onto my dilemma-should I pick out something I've been eyeing for a while? Or I signed up for a $20 grab bag from Nickis-guaranteed value of $40. Will contain a diaper, wet bag, and two accessories.

I've been looking at grovia shells, softbums, more BB. I'm worried to get a junky diaper in the grab bag

Unfortunately the answer can't be "just get both"

    I like the idea of a diaper allowance!

    Being the kind of person that I am, I would pick something that I've been specifically eyeing to make sure that I get a diaper that I really want. I wouldn't want to spend the money and get a diaper that I'm not happy with just to get the extras. But that's because I have no guts lol others might find the surprise exciting.

    Lol. I feel like I revealed so much about our marriage with that- diaper and video game allowance. We do buy plenty of other things ;)

  • I think you should try soft bums and then tell me how they are. Grovia shells are cute but meh compared to bb. :-)

    I know they'll be amazing-that's why I'm scared to slide down the slippery slope. Lol

    I liked the SoftBums I have.....but the idea of the prints going up in price to where they're worth more than I paid (I have one fingerpaint Echo) actually makes me too nervous to use it as other than an emergency diaper right now. I don't want solid diapers so I'm not buying more SoftBums. You'd also have to be comfortable with the idea of using a fleece lined shell more than once to use SoftBums.

    Or you could just get a few Softbums and use them in a large rotation and then sell for what you bought them for or more. Yea....slippery slope. I started with one and now have 16. You can find good deals if you stalk the FB BST too. Someone traded me brand new HTF prints for my Nickis pockets a while back.

    Soooo my vote is obviously try the Softbums!

  • I think you should try the grab bag once. Most I've seen are not that great a deal! Then you can get what you've been eyeing next month.

    Yeah. My anxiety level is better when someone else fills my cart for me and I can just press "complete order".

  • How do you get the Nickis grab bag?! I saw the post on FB for like 4 mins before it said "event closed"!

    Total impulse. I saw it and immediately added my email. I received the paypal invoice later in the evening. I guess it's still possible for supplies not to last? But my payment went through
