Has anyone used Kushies prefolds?

[Perdita_in_Ontario]

Wondering how good they are - are they comparable to a CPF, for example? I'm being tempted by price and the prints...

TIA

No, but they seem to be all over Kijiji for sale used...which makes me a tad suspicious. The ads all say 'used only once' or 'washed but not used,' 'it didn't work for us, etc.' I don't know. Are you still hunting for Kissaluvs 0? I think I saw one listed at chiquita baby. I bet you could call all the consignment shops and tell them you're looking and they might hold them for you.

I bought the kushies all-in-ones from sears when ds was born...they are good BUT they have fallen apart...the elastic came out/the inserts ripped apart. Granted I wash mine in the machine and dry them on low so the dryer could be the problem BUT they just sucked after a while. So if your wanting them as an investment(for kids down the line) I personally wouldn't buy them. BUT if cost is a big factor they will last awhile. I would keep an eye out for sales on better quality diapers

We've used the Kushies AIOs and didn't like them - but was interested in the quality of the prefolds especially.

NP - I'm getting there with the fitted stash. I got one KLV 0 at Chiquita - and there was a CD exchange at EBS a couple of weeks ago and I scored a Little Beetle and some Swaddlebees newborns there. Peekaboo Bottoms had a great Gently Used sale and I got a bamboozle and a BG AIO as well. I've also picked up quite a few ME smalls. Now I'm really beginning to wonder what size I need - DD was 7.5lb at birth, and grew quickly the first couple of weeks - I'm a bit wary of buying too many NB sizes - so I think I'm going to stick with the PFs mainly.

I bought the Kushies AIO for DS and they are ok. I must say that I don't really LOVE them but they are doing a good job, especially when you have an older kid who can wear the diaper for quite some time. We have been using them for a little over one year now and they are still ok, no tears or anything but they leave big read marks and leak quite a lot, especially up toward the belly.

I had the entire kushies line with DD expect the classics but the prefolds the basic fitted the AIOs I didn't hate anythng but I deffiently didn't really like any of it eaither. The prefolds were soft assorbant but oddly bulky and bult doesn't really bug me and they felt icky when wet... They really had to be pinned.. The basic fitted were super simple and I actually liked that but they really didn't hold much at all just like 2-3 layers of thin flannel the AIOs worked okay once past the newborn very loose BF stool stage but they also always fit weird I liked there simplicity they just never fit really well.
