i am trying to make my stash bigger and last longer more economical due to no washer and dryer in house and not many diapers on hand right now. But the problem is my daughter is wiggler it is hard to get to lay still for a diaper change. today i let her wear just a fitted with a doubler coverless and 15 minutes later she peed in it. go figure right. so now i love the idea and i am trying to decide what i should look for and what would be most economical? i dont think prefolds would be good cause she moves so much. what about prefitteds just as hard huh? or no?
Thoughts mamas
and maybe recommend good fitteds that are not expensive
For coverless, my favorite are Little Beetle Originals. These will hold quite a bit before the pee escapes. They're fairly affordable and often available used on the TP. The ones with snaps or aplix might work best for your squirmy one.
Definitely a fitted that is absorbant! Going coverless always leaves open the possibility for lots of carpet cleaning, too, if you don't have a really good, absorbant diaper! :LOL
I say this from experience, of course. And I have white carpet.
Abi did good with ME OS and snap in liners. But she was only a medium wetter. If you get ME dipes it takes a long, long time to break them in, just FYI.
I think that regardless of absorbency that a coverless dipe is going to be changed faster. I mean, once you see it's wet, you are going to change it, right?
Kissaluvs, Ecobabys, Happy Hempys (you could customize the absorbency on these), and Motherease Sandys/OS dipes are all great and affordable too.
This is why I switched from fitteds to prefolds. My daughter can pee straight through any fitted! So, might as well save money and have pretty prefolds!
Now, my daughter can be quite the sqirmer too-I usually try to play a game w/ her or give her a 'diaper changes only toy" or something like that.
