diapers galore

UPS brought me a very happy surprise yesterday, my stash of gogreen pocket diapers. they feel and look amazing. as for as effectiveness, they are working out quite well indeed, very comparable to the couple bumgenius diapers i have. i give the gogreens 2 thumbs up and if they hold up to wear and tear i will be a repeat customer. maybe i'll try the fuzzy ones next time!

aren't the star patterned ones so cute?!

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.

cloth diapering

it's official...we are a member of the gdiaper crew. got all the inserts washed and dried last night and put the first gdiaper on finn. he looks handsome and comfortable, heres hoping i love them as much as fellow users.

gdiapers

the cloth diapering experiment has begun. after much research and review reading i've decided to take the cloth diaper route, more specifically to try gdiapers. since rapid city is a dry, dry desert when searching for organic diapers i've been inspired by necessity to try something new. having used disposables for my first 2 i never even thought of cloth diapering as an option; seemed like a big stinky headache. gdiapers are the best of both worlds. touting themselves a hybrid diaper, they utilize either a disposable, biodegradable insert or a washable insert. the insert is then placed into an outer shell that can be used several times before having to be washed. mine should be here next week! hope they are as good as the reviews. if not, there are still several different variations out there...let the experiment begin!
