Help update my stash-fitted recs.

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
I built most of my stash up 7 years back when pregnant with DD#1. I refreshed it some with DD#2. Both wore cloth full time from birth. Little did I know that both of my kids wouldn't learn to use the potty until 3 yrs. + (DD#2 is still in dipes full time, and DD#1 still has nighttime accidents) so my stash is on its last legs. I don't know when DD#2 will potty learn, and I can't put off buying new dipes much longer. I've gotten picky over the years so here's my list of whet I want/don't want.....

1. MUST be fitted dipes. Not looking for AIO, pockets, etc.
2. Natural fibers against skin (no microfleece, suedecloth, etc.)
3. Diapers should be sized, NOT OS. Looking for meds. and larges only.
4. Looking to buy new. Used dipes bite the dust too fast in my experience.
5. MUST snap. I don't like velcro.
6. Need a quick-dry soaker. One trip through the dryer is my max.
7. Must be DURABLE. I want these to last until DD#2 is done with dipes entirely and be poised and ready with some life left in them in the event of another babe.
8. (The toughie) Must be economical. I'm open to buying seconds, little known WAHMs, I don't need hyena dipes (goodness, I was on this board when that term was coined), but I'm just not so gaga over dipes at this point in my life that I need to spend a lot when I can get good quality for less.

So, can you help bring me back into the loop? The dipes that were "hot" when I built my stash don't even exist anymore in large part, or our diper preferences/needs have changed.

Thank you!

Maybe these? http://www.loveybums.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=139

Haven't used them but they seem to fit your whole description.

Thanks for the rec. I was actually just returning to edit my post because I forgot to specify that it needs to have a quick dry soaker. Sorry, I really am picky aren't I?

ETA: Well, maybe an internal soaker would work if it wasn't too thick...I can handle a non-bulky internal soaker with adding a doubler so the dipe still dries in a reasonable time.

I would consider Fireflies. They aren't the cheapest, but they have wide size ranges so you should get lots of use out of them. We absolutely love ours.

How old/big is your DD2? For your situation I would go with ME Sandys. The large fits my 29lb 3yo with growing room, I imagine the toddle-ease would be comfortable on a 5yo. You can get a quick-dry lay-in soaker.

Have you heard of Clovers?

I can't speak from experience yet about how long they last, as I just bought 3 NB Clover fitteds to add to my stash and the baby isn't here yet. They seem to match your other requirements however. Maybe someone else has experience with them and can vouch for how well they do/don't hold up.

I've heard very good things about Mother Ease Sandy's - not sure about the drying time though. I think they meet all your other requirements.

I like the Happy Heinys Sherpa Fitteds. They fit nicely (esp. the newborn stage) and dry relatively quickly.
