CD Review

I thought I'd do some Cloth Diaper (CD) Reviews since I've tried a few. I'm really loving it this time and it's going a lot better than my first try at it. Here I'll talk about the Pros and Cons of each Diaper and talk about our FAVORITE DIPE.

SunBabies (SB)

OS Pocket Diaper. A friend told me about these diapers so I thought I'd try them since they were very cheap on Ebay. When I first got them I KNEW they'd be too small for Nate's big booty and sure enough, these puppies ran really small. On top of that they had PUL issues and they started peeling. I thought I'd notfiy the seller b/c I heard about their problem and was hoping she'd either replace them or refund my money and sure enough she admitted that they had PUL issues and gave me a good chunk of my money back. Another problem I found with these are the low rise, these tend to leak on the top b/c it's too low. At the moment, I'm not using these on Nate b/c his thighs are too big, I have them put away for now and hopefully when he starts walking and getting a lot more exercise he'll be able to fit in them again. If not, I'll prob. save them for possible future children (possible!).

Ebay Cheapies

OS Pocket Diaper. Now this diaper does NOT have a name so that is why I'm naming it (You my child, will be named......Ebay Cheapy). The same friend that told me about the SBs told me about these so I bid and won! I think it averaged out to about 4.50 a diaper. These are AMAZING and I wish I would have known about these sooner! I would have Totally bought nothing but these if I knew they were this good. I really can't think of a CON for this diaper, it's that amazing. The rise is very high, the fit is excellent and the absorbency is PERFECT. I HIGHLY recommend these.

Rumparooz (RaRz)
OS Pocket Diaper. Another great CD, the best thing about these are the fun designs. That might sound lame but these diapers are going to be his clothes during the summer so the print is VERY important. hah! I LOVE the gusset that hugs his thighs and keeps everything inside the diaper, the PUL is excellent and works great. The only problem I see with these diapers are the low rise. These aren't as low as the SBs BUT I see a problem with them in the future as Nate grows. But at the moment they work great and the rise isn't a problem yet. Also, these come with either snaps or velco (we've got snaps and they're really good).

Fuzzibuns (FB)

OS Pocket Diaper. To me, these run pretty small and the snaps feel weird to me. Don't know what it is and I can't explain it but I am NOT feeling the FB love. I know so many people love them and do great with it but it's just not my favorite, it's just OK in my book. Also, the adjustable elastic isn't too friendly, I find myself fighting with these things and I just HATE the elastic.

Thirsties

OS Pocket Diaper. These work very well and I love how easy the velcro tabs are to use but the inserts are very bulky. I know that I can use one at a time but when I do that he goes through the diaper so this is our night time diaper and it's been very good for that. I'm not able to use this diaper under his regular clothes so that is why it's only used at night. I'm pretty certain that it's the insert b/c when I've used a FB insert it's never leaked so the actual shell of the diaper is wonderful but the insert gave me problems.

Bumgenius Pockets 3.0 (BG)

OS Pocket Diaper. Bottom line........BGs are the BEST! Their pockets are great, no leaking, great fit but the rise is prob. the same as the RaRz, not too high but not too low. I think if you want your money's worth you've gotta get a dipe that has a high rise so that you get the most use out of them. The new BGs that just came out have improved velcro (and snaps now!), replaceable elastic, and bigger sizes.

Bumgenius AIO (BG AIO)

AIO. An All in one is the most similar to a disposable diaper. There's no stuffing involved and the sizes run up to Large which fit Nate great! They are just the PERFECT fit and can hold so much. I love these diapers so much that I bought him one in PINK! hahaha I couldn't pass it up, the price was so cheap so I could NOT get picky about colors. But the BG AIOs are my FAVORITE FAVORITE Diapers ever!
