How big is your stash? - Page 2

post #21 of 27
I don't launder them often and like things to be simple-
greenstitch prefolds 48- covers/ various nb/sm at least a dozen
bluestictch prefolds 36- and about 6 or so flats- covers m/l at least a dozen
That lasted for 2 kids until potty-training

just ordered 2 dozen more flats- the washer keeps eating my older prefolds. Also, ordered a couple more dappi pull-ons

I have some one-size aios and other sized aios but I never use them- need to get rid of them really

Just wanted to add... I wash diapers every 4-5 days and their just fine. I think the longest any of my dipes have sat for w/o washing was 6 or 7 days and they were still fine. (and yeah, I'm the crazy one with 36 3.0s and formerly 40 2.0s

My friend made me a bunch of prefolds, and gave me a bunch of flats, which is all I used for the first 5-6 months (not sure how many I have of those).

Around 5-6 months, I 'splurged' and bought a Bummis prefold kit. I have:

18 prefolds
4 Bummis covers
5 Kushies pockets I use for night, plus inserts
5 fleece liners
4 Kushies covers
4 wool soakers made by my mum

My son is a heavy night wetter, so I bulk up his night dipes with microfibre and Sham-Wow for added absorbency. I also have some Snappis and diaper pins.

I'd love to have more, but since cost was one of my main reasons for cloth diapering, I can't really get away with buying more unless I need them, and unfortunately, I don't right now.

I was just about to post this same question. I was wondering if we should get more, and after seeing how many everyone has, I think we will!

We do all pockets:
1 haute pocket OS
2 HH OS
1 thirsties duo
16 FB

Total: 20

7 hemp inserts for super stuffing overnight. (not all at once, haha)

I left just one at a friend's house who lives far away, and I feel like I'm doing so many more loads!

I have such a hodgepodge because I have been searching for one diaper that I loved enough to make a stash out of. What I realized is I like different diapers for different reasons...and as she grows the fit of the diapers changes and so do my preferences. I am really getting into natural fibers and notice the only times she gets red is when she's been in the pockets a lot. The pockets are also the only things I get stink issues with.

Outgrown and now stored in excellent condition for the next babe:
1 dozen orange edged newborn GMD prefolds
2 BSWW cover newborn (1 is borrowed)
1 BSS cover newborn

In circulation now:
1 dozen yellow edged GMD prefolds
1 thirsties duo cover size 1
1 thirsties cover small (baby shower gift off registry)
7 small prowrap covers (borrowed)
3 snappis
2 earth mama baby bamboo fitteds
3 fuzzi bunz OS (1 free!)
2 fuzzi bunz smalls (1 close out, 1 baby shower gift off registry)
3 BG 3.0
1 BG small deluxe AIO (free!)
1 BG Organic AIO
1 GroVia organic cotton AIO
3 Smartipants OS pockets (last ones I grab, only one that leaks due to baggy legs)
5 Kushies AIOs (old, borrowed, easy to use and what we send to babysitter along with BG 3.0s).

TOTAL: I think that is 33 with the prefolds (not counting covers)

Accessories:
2 knickernappies super-do small inserts (for nights)
2 small joeybunz hemp inserts
2 pail liners
2 wet bags for travel, actually, 3 cause I have a wipes sized one too
lots of homemade fleece and microfiber liners (borrowed)
maybe 10 cotton liners (borrowed)
2-3 dozen gerber terry washcloths for wipes
12 flannel wipes
10 double sided cotton wipes
6 double sided hemp wipes (came free with an order)

Waiting to grow into:
12 medium fuzzi bunz (baby shower gift that I didn't even ask for!)

Whew. I feel like I should be saying, Hello my name is mecatlady17 and I'm a CD-aholic....

I was also loaned 18 old infant GMD prefolds that have been well used, but once I got myself the new fluffy ones I put the borrowed ones away.

In my defense I shop Kellyscloset primarily as she is local to me and I either get free shipping or use one of her many awesome coupons for the free diapers! with a small purchase ($16-20 value each). Also I have added a little at a time shopping with coupons for a discount or off of babysteals or babyhalfoff where I've bought a few diapers for 50-60% off!

We wash every 2 days, sometimes the 3rd morning if we've been out all day.
I actually would like to add a small gro via hybrid system for when traveling or laundry isn't done for whatever reason.

I like pockets once my babes are mobile, so right now we are using:

3 medium Knickernappies
18 medium FBs
1 medium Happy Heiny (do not like this dipe, but it was included in a sampler pack, so I keep it around and use it if nothing else is clean)
1 FB One Size
1 Best Bottoms shell w/2 hemp, 2 microfiber and 2 overnight inserts (just used these for the first time today, think they are my new favorite diaper!)
5 BG 2.0
A few Hemp Babies doublers
A few Clover doublers

As soon as I can sell off some of my outgrown dipes, I am going to get some more BB shells/inserts and some more FB one sizes for when all the medium dipes are outgrown.
