It’s not really a question, but I was at Target today and if you buy 3 jumbo packs of Huggies or Pampers this week they give you a gift card for $5…plus the diapers are a good price and if you get the coupons in the mail like I do, it’s almost like getting em for free! I literally paid $6 and change for a jumbo pack of newborns which is INSAINELY cheap where I live AND I’ve got $5 to send on more diapers later or something else I need.

for my baby shower somebody bought me a jumbo pack of white cloud diapers and i thought-oh no cheap diapers? can they get the job done? i was really suprised that i love them! there a bit on the stiff side but i feel there comparable to huggies. i am usually a pamper user and i love them because they are soft but not that absorbent. just feel free to leave your opinion……

I am not low income but I live with my parents and they do not pay for everything Diego needs so my boyfriend and I have been paying alot of disposable diapers. Within the 8 months my son has been here, I am guessing we spent over $500 on diapers, not counting the pack I get for free each month and some my gma buys.
I finally discovered cloth diapers.
I was never told about them. NEVER!
no one told me how easy they were, no one told me how they have AIO. all I was ever told is that they are disgusting
then yesterday my gma tells me how wonderful they are.
so im switching.
many of my friends are low income and complain about how they cant afford good diapers.
so why doesnt WIC or welfare promote cloth to low income mothers?

Which diapers on the market you believe is EXCELLENT in stopping leaks? My one year old pee pees a lot! Her diaper is always super soiled and soaken wet. I am constantly changing her clothes in the morning and her bed sheets because everything is so wet, mainly overnight. I think its the store brand diapers I am using. BUT I AM WILLING TO BUY THE BEST DIAPERS OUT THERE IF THEY ARE LEAK FREE OR AT LEAST VERY VERY GOOD WITH LEAKS!

We use All Free and Clear which until now I thought it was perfectly okay to wash our diapers in (the inserts and the outer waterproof diaper itself). I just recently read that All will break the diapers down and will destroy their waterproofing leading to leaks.
Does anyone know if this is actually true and if it is what else I can use to wash them?
I don’t really have any desire to buy a second detergent so I was thinking maybe Dawn and Baking Soda or Baking Soda and Vinegar then to dry in the sun.
Thanks.

moms, i would like to start a debate right here (tada) in this question about diapers. just a few facts, did you know that disposiable diapers are not ment to hold the poop in the trash, you are suppose to shake it off in the toilet jsut like a cloth diaper; reason; because the poop ends up in our land fills and poultes the ground with human pathogens and increasing the risk of the spread of disease. also, it take 500 years for a disposible diaper to biodegrate and 18-23 billion are thrown away each year. in time for the first years of diapers to biodegrate, 8,500,000,000,000-11,000,000,000,000 will be degrating still. we all know that diapers wernt around for 500 years and that they wont be for much longer, but could you imagine???
please just post opnions, not hate.
as for me, i use old fashioned cloth diapers and covers. they work just fine for us. i use chemical free detergent adn viniger to wash, it only takes 20 minutes to dry them and about 60 to wash them. i only wash one…

Feel free to explain your reasoning.

I have been cloth diapering my 2 year old girl for about a month. We have been totally rash free…until this morning. She woke up very red anywhere that the wet diaper touched. from about an inch under her belly button all the way up her poor little butt cheeks! it isn’t a raised rash, or bumps. It is just red! It is also hot to touch. any suggestions? Should I soak the diapers in something?

Where is the best place to buy cloth diapers in the lower mainland? Does anyone know of an actual store front where you can go and actually see the different diapers instead of just checking things out online? What is the best cloth diaper you have used? Feel free to leave any other cloth diaper info that I may find helpful

We use cloth diapers on my 6 week old. We use All free and clear to wash them and only use 1/4 of the recommended amount per wash. Rinse in cold first then wash with soap in hot. My diapers still have a slightly musty “dried pee” type smell to them even after washing and of course a few have some light poo stains. I’ve read a little bleach can be added to help these problems but I can’t find anywhere that says exactly how much bleach is “a little”. Any suggestions?
