Cloth Diapering...

Yep. You read that right. I have begun cloth diapering. Call me crazy, but cloth diapering is not just a thing that your grandparents did. It has became a big fad. Mainly for "green" reasons, but my reason of choice is because they are so darn cute. It is not only saving us space in our trashcan.....which is weekly filled to the brim with dirty, stinky disposable diapers, but it is also saving us a pretty penny. If only I had been brave enough to do this with the twins. It really isn't as hard as it seems. Of course I am new to this so give it some time and I am sure I might have a complaint or two. I will keep you posted. Right now I only have Porter in them. I have the twins running around in underwear during the day (and my mop has a few complaints about this bright idea). And that is only if we are home. Our dr. recommended trying that since they are showing signs of being "ready".....not sure how long THIS will last but I am thinking they are NOT ready with all the times I have pulled out the mop today. Ok I will save that for another post...... back to the diapering.


I mean, seriously, don't they just look like the cutest things on him.
Or maybe it is just him that makes the diapers look so cute.


And see how much he likes them? SOOOO incredibly comfy.
And here is how they work......


you start with the absolutely cute diaper. It has adjustable elastic legs and all those snaps for just the right fit. And it is a one size fits most....so this will last us through his diapering years.




You see that hole at the top? That is where you insert a pad thing. It is like microfiber so it is very absorbant.



See? You just stick this thing right in that hole.....





And when you change the diaper, you pull out the pad and stick it into this bag.








Put the diaper into the bag also.





' And when your bag is full or you run out of diapers throw it all in here. Stick it into the dryer and you are ready to go.




Yay. I am so excited about it. Now I have to get my stash of diapers up. I only have 10. Which on a typical day I will go through 5-6 pending no "blowouts" . I am thinking of sticking the twins in some too...well that is if I get tired of cleaning pee off my floor. So what do ya'll think?

  1. I have been reading about the fad too. I will def use them if i have a number 3. I have even read a really brave frugal moms take on cloth maxi pads. Sounds pretty gross and not quite like the savings on diapers.

  3. Tracy~I got these from weelittlechanges.com. Most are fuzzibuns, but I have a few bumgenius. Most online stores charge about the same price.

  4. I remember the old fashioned diapers. Once I started to rinse child no.3's diaper in the toilet, which is how it was done. But I think child no.2 started a fight with child no.3 and I had to drop the diaper to attend to the ensueing mahem. And then I heard the flush, and upon turning around saw child no.3 proudly smiling next to the potty...not good.
