Hello,

I'm a newbie. We just started CDing so I am still trying to build up my stash and CD full-time.

I'm planning to order some prewashed CPFs but I was wondering if that was a good idea. Anyone tried it? I was thinking of ordering it from naturalbabies.com

Also, any recommendations on wrap for a 23 lb 10 month old with chubby legs?

Thanks, MommyToTJ

Prewashed is a GREAT idea! I hate washing 5-6 times before I can even use them. I ended up taking a whole afternoon and boiling sets of 4 so I wouldn't have to wait so long to use them.

Bummis wraps are kind to chubby thighs - so are any kind of windpro or wool. I've found that pul wraps that snap rather than have velcro tend to leave red marks...
HTH!

hannahmom, I'm glad to heard that the Bummis wraps are good to chubby thighs. I was looking at Bummis and Proraps.

Is 2 wraps enough for 12 CPFs?

Proraps run in the small side, so be careful about that. I prefer the bummis because they have a longer 'life span'.

clothdiapersnmore does prewashing, too. I think her CPFs are a little less expensive than naturalbabies, too.

I'd go with 3 - you never know when you might be faced with an unexpected blowout... I've never used prowraps so I don't have any input there.

I usually rotate between 2 wraps/day but I like having a third just in case of a blowout, if one wrap gets real stinky, or to tide me over on laundry day
