) mind i STILL have them and am using them on my 4month old!! i even went back and got a new OS dipe from her.
I still think about you often. I'm so glad to hear you're doing well, but so sad that she's already considering potty learning. 
Poor mama.
The only time EVER that I've managed to score at FM! Even if it was only nightlights & a couple of (fairly plain) wool covers!

Pretty much all of my stash is WAHM diapers, thanks to the hyenas who used to frequent the board, and made cloth diapering so exciting and addictive for me. Since the split, I never bother going to the main diapering forum--it's just not that interesting to me. And plus, I don't really like "supporting" the people who complained about all the hyena threads. I never really understood why they were so offended. Don't like reading threads about stockings or expensive diapers? You can pretty much tell by the thread title, so don't click on them! I've been hoping that since the six-month trial period is up, or close to being up, that MDC would reconsider and change it back. The split was a huge blow to the WAHMs who buy their advertising space here, IMO. MDC used to be an important venue for developing new customers for WAHMs, but not anymore. But I suppose ending the split is just a pipe dream--and anyway, the hyenas have all gone elsewhere, or perhaps are off of online boards altogether. |
I used to check in here multiple times a day and I can't even remember when I last posted in diapering. This board is what convinced me I could CD...I used a service before it. I recently lent a friend all my outgrown ElBees...love those.

: It's so dead the mods can't even be bothered to police our critical posts anymore. They know hardly anyone is here to read them.

We still have the unicorn cover, and many others. But Mari is showing signs of being interested in the potty. I bought my first new diapers in nearly a year the other day from Tiff, and they were probably my last ever. I admit that I moved on to other obsessions like cool wooden toys, back to scrapbooking, etc. But, Mari does love talking about her diapers like I had hoped, and we have never used a sposie even on our vacations since she came home.

: I remember WAY before TB!! It was a NEW wahm for me.....
), everybody *had* to have fb's, there was talk of something that everyone was mourning-mollytogs, and the hyena name (nasty threads and all 
) was just coming into being. It started over SOS diapers if I recall correctly, lol.
), scientific absorbency tests, water info, fuz gardens, some of us deciding to try this "knitted wool" soaker idea out (thank you LTK!!!!) since our crats had performed so well but we wanted less bulk, me trying to get the whole world to wrap their kids' behinds in hemp. 
My first expensive diaper purchase was a motherease sandy's, and if it didn't hold Ian's pee, I was about to give up, b/c it gave me serious sticker shock at $10, lol. Then I was introduced to world of wahms and fmbg, I think, was my first wahm diaper. I was searching high and low for hemp, but couldn't find it except for hempers prefolds that are about as stiff and scratchy as sandpaper, yikes, and she had hemp. Oooooh, and the beautiful fabrics she used to choose, or have us choose from if we got on her customs lists-pages and pages of gorgeous fabrics. Then I had to try every wahm that was out there, and BBB fast became my favorite for soakers (this was when she only sold on ebay and you could get one for around $20, no bidding wars at all, and we were all scared to try them but they looked so freaking pretty w/all the cool colorways). I was into fuz diapers, and also very much enjoyed sugarpeas, liz's cloth, lukes, and a couple others. I remember when a lot who are hyena now didn't even make diapers or covers, and I remember when they all started. I sadly remember several finding the wahm graveyard. 
), the board split, and it wasn't fun anymore. I'm glad I'm done diapering now. It isn't at all like it was, as is the case w/everything in life-enjoy it in the moment b/c the moment will end.......anyway, it was fun to remember. I used to really love my diapers, and when diapering really sucked, mamas were here to help keep me going.
