cloth diapers update...

a while back i mentioned i was giving cloth diapering a go and i must say i have been having so much fun. hard to believe i can associate the word fun with the words dirty diapers but it's true. i love the funky and cute patterns cloth diapers can come in, i love the different styles and types of diapers, i love putting them on my kids, and i love washing and folding them. that being said, i have realized there are a few details i don't like.

i don't like cloth diapers that have velcro. learned out the hard way after washing a brand new, never worn gdiaper cover that i need to make sure the velcro tabs are securely shut. needless to say after it's first washing that cover no longer looked new, insert sad face. i don't like diapers that aren't pocket diapers. there's just too much shifting in the "hybrid" diapers so you don't really get to re-use the cover like their advertising suggests. i also don't like cloth diapers that come in sizes, give me the one size adjustable diapers please!

now after weeks of figuring out what i do and don't like about style and fit i have also realized i don't particularly care for the prices on some of these diapers. i mean 20 bucks for a diaper! it's just a bunch of layers of cotton and hemp. BUT, after much research on the web i stumbled upon what appears to be the mecca for cloth diapers....gogreen pocket diapers.

not only are the gogreen pocket diapers pocket diapers but they have snaps and they are one size! they have tons of colors and prints but even better, a single diapers is 8.99 and you can buy a pack of 12 for a little over a hundred. that is outrageously cheap in the cloth diapering world. i just placed my order today and i wish it could be here tomorrow but i will report back when they arrive.
