Just tell this picky lady what to buy

[Mamatoto2]

6.5+ years of non-stop CDing has taught me a thing or two about my likes/dislikes, but I'm also totally out of the loop as to what's worth buying these days. Here's my picky list, can you point me in the direction of what to buy?

Likes-
cotton/hemp/velour, fitteds, front snapping, prefer sized dipes vs one-size, function over fashion/durable, value (I'm happy to buy seconds/overstocks/less "hyena" dipes), QD dipes, prefer sewn-in QD soakers to snap-ins but that's not a deal-breaker.

Dislikes-fleece/microfleece, minky, PUL/AIOs/pockets, side-snapping fitteds, dipes that wear holes in them quickly (e.g. with jersey outers) or that lose elasticity quickly, used dipes (cuz they wear out quickly), spending a lot for dipes, dipes that take ages to dry.

Bottom line, I'm looking for FS fitteds that will wear well over time, and ideally fall in the $10-$12 range (or less). I have time so I can wait for seconds sales, co-op buys, or whatnot if pointed in the right direction.

Thanks!

what about little lions fitteds. We haven't had them for very long so i can't speak to their longevity but I think they fit your other requirements.

I've bben pretty happy with mother-ease sandy's and one size so far (both are cotton terry) and i've heard they last forever. you can't get them on sale, but the price is pretty good anyway.

oh wait. the sandy's are sidesnapping. the one size fits my 3 month old and 2 yo great, though. you'd stll need a nb size.

that's my 2 cents.

I love loveybums fitteds, organic velour next to the skin They do a budget I havent used them long term yet to see how they wear, but they seem durable so far. They have a "budget-friendly" diaper which is $14. I think they may also have a seconds sale section for slight imperfections.
