You know, I was shocked to see how much things had changed just since DD was a baby. She's 5 and 1/2 and was out of diapers by 17 months, for reference. Back in the day, I loved Wonderoos. Now I can't even seem to find them and the reviews I read are like they're on a completely different product. Back then they were really popular. Now they're...not. And there was a wool cover I loved, which I'm 99% positive was made by Little Lambs. Now I can't find Little Lambs wool diaper covers - just some website going by that name selling all manner of cd things, but not the covers I remember. And Goodmamas...wow! Seems like *everyone* at diaperswappers loves those things, but $35 to $40 for one diaper is waaaaayyyy too much for me, no matter how many sizes it will fit.

Who knew things would change so much in five years? I guess when you've got a product that is so often made by WAHM's, things are going to change a lot, as moms leave the business and new ones come in. It's been overwhelming wading through deciding what we needed!

I agree.. that's why I'm thinking of just sticking with the old standby of prefolds or flats and bummis or something. I love the stretchy wool covers but 37.95 for one?! That's just redonkulous. I used to be ok with spending money that I didn't have on stuff like that, but I just can't justify that sort of price anymore.

If you haven't checked out the diaperswappers FSOT, it's really worth looking at. I've gotten 4 brand new, never used wool covers (3 Stacinators and 1 WAHM soaker) there for less than $14 each! And I bought all of my nb diapers there, other than 3 I bought on the FSOT here. They have separate forums for covers, fitteds, prefolds, etc. and they are busy.

I HATE BG velcro lol. And the organic aio velcro wore out so much faster than my pocket velcro. I have sent all my BG (pockets and organic aios) in for elastic repair and conversion to snaps. Cost $5 a diaper, but my nanny uses them exclusively and they have gotten beat up. Well worth it. And I bought them all as seconds or in EUC, so all under like 13 bucks each.

That's where I bought most of my daughter's diapers & wool. Also Spots Corner on hyenacart is a great place to find used diapers & woolies.

I always thought people were nuts to spend so much on Goodmamas. But then I tried one and they are really nice. I get the simple.goods which are Snappiable/pinnable fitteds and really love them.

For trendy/it diapers:

Goodmamas
sustainablebabyish
Bagshot Row Bamboo

Top sellers:

FuzziBunz one-size
bumGenius 3.0 one-size
prefolds & covers
Kissaluvs 0

Diapers I think are great:

Knickernappies OneSize
GAD
BG organics
SposoEasys

I TOTALY agree! I was a total HYENA with my last one, but that was ten years ago, different situation now.
I want to cd, we need to cd, but I am not working and the father is having a hard time finding a job as well. At the moment he is doing yard work for bill money just to keep us floating, so how in the heck am I going to afford diapers! I really dont want to end up forced to use disposables because we got overloaded with them from gifts and thats our only choice, kwim? Le sigh, I guess I will have to surrender the worry and just know that everything will be ok

Buy used or go with prefolds or flats. WAY cheaper. Learn to knit or crochet (if you don't already) so you can make your own woolies. Learn to sew and make diapers from old clothes or thrifted clothes You definitely can CD on the cheap... and that's the point for many people! There are websites that just sell mostly used or discounted diapers...

Oh, and ask people to give you cloth diapers instead of disposables.

Definitely! The more you can do your self the better. I always make wipes and now have made all of our longies as well. I found a super awesome deal on organic merino wool too at a local yarn shop. I couldn't believe it!

I *love* elbees! I got a bakers dozen when my 2yo was a baby. They are fabulous! (Though my washer is horrible and is killing them - and the rest of our stash. )

I have been really surprised that she's had some dipes sitting on her HC!

Wow! I had been checking her stock for months and months and saw nothing. I was even trying to get in contact with her via email and got no response from my last two messages. I had given up. Now the problem is that I am waiting on a very sizable order of another diaper brand to be fulfilled. Go figure! Now what should I do!?

[Erinjvrn]

Ive been wanting an elbee. Are they better than goodmamas?

I stalked sweetiebums forever and then hated the dipe!
