Anyone else like used dipes????

I think that way about some of the used dipes I have bought. I just got a couple of boxes from a friend of mine, and I DEFINITELY feel that way about hers!

i love them! i dont get them often, as i make most of my diapers for both babes. but for example,

i have 3 little hemp fitteds waiting for kassi that were used on my friend's newborn. it means so much to me to get to use them on kassi, and i hope to pass them along to another friend when kassi grows out of them. so precious!

I like that they're broken in, and very cost efficient! If I wasn't buying 75% used dipes, my stash would not be very much fun.
I love the bargain/barter factor, it adds to the fun for me!

Yup I've been really bummed out about sizing (my dd is really hard to fit) quite a few times when I've bought an unknown diaper or cover new.

So oftern you have to pay tons for priority shipping direct from the WAHM and it's a real bummer to pay $15 ppd for a diaper that doesn't fit and then have to pay another $2-3 to send it back or resel it. It ends up costing something like $6.00 just to try a diaper.

So far I've only received two used ones that I like and both were LHC.

I must be a weirdo because I am not even sure that I would my current diapers on a new baby if I had another one.

Edited to add that I am the QUEEN of 2nd hand stuff. At least 75% of toys and 75% of clothes are 2nd hand, sometimes even 3rd. I bought almost all used maternity clothing.
But to me, diapers are like underwear, and it doesn't seem right. I even use fleece liners. I know it's no big deal, but I don't know if I could...

I do. It doesn't bother me unless they're stained.

To me, babies are clean and pure, and so is their poop and pee, no matter how stinky. I just don't think of a used diaper as gross (as long as it's been washed!).

In fact, one of my very, very favorite diapers in my stash for Ian is used off the TP.

Mmmm....fluffy cotton. *sigh*

I love used dipes for a lot of the reasons already mentioned. I could only afford a few new dipes. I like them a lot but I was able to get a few more of the same exact dipe used on the TP and they were so soft and broken in when I got them that I prefer the used ones. I'm a big believer in reduce/reuse/recycle so I feel really good about used dipes.

I had a mom trying to give away some dipes FFS on the TP. I took her up on of the dipes which I could tell she had an attachment to from her description. The diaper has been well loved and it isn't the snazziest diaper but she was right it is a great dipe, its cute and it is being put to good use. She got the satisfaction of knowing that her dipe is being put to good use. Good feelings all around.
