  4. Yes. The pocket diapers tend to have wicking material lining the inside, which keeps my baby’s skin dry and rash-free. The one-size aspect works fine too.

    Comment # 4 | Posted by Michelle | October 30, 2009, 10:03 am
  5. I love one size diapers and they work very well for my baby. BG has been my diaper of choice since I started diapering with cloth only, but I’ve noticed already (she’s only 7 weeks old) that the velcro seems to be getting tired, so I’ve started trying other brands like Smartipants and most recently Happy Heinys. I plan on trying the Fuzzy Bunz one size diapers next. I just LOVE my AIO One Sized diapers, no matter the brand. Each kind has things that I love about it that the other diapers don’t have. They’re great!

    Comment # 8 | Posted by Amber M | October 30, 2009, 10:07 am
  9. I hope so… We’re expecting twins within a week and bought a ton of BumGenius 3.0 for them. The price is much better than disposables and we can (hopefully) reuse them for the next couple years. I love the idea of one diaper to use from infancy to potty. And it doesn’t end up adding to
    our trash output.
    Fingers crossed they’ll live up to my expectations.

  11. I think so. I feel good about the cloth that we do use, however, we could use a few more. When all of ours are in the wash, we use disposable.

    Comment # 11 | Posted by Teri | October 30, 2009, 10:11 am
  12. If anything its supported our reasoning to use cloth diapers. Disposables add up!

    I have always looked for good deals, but even more so now.

  14. Well, the current economy certainly plays a role, but I’m more affected by the fact that I no longer work outside the home. Because my husband is the only one bringing home a paycheck, I have to be more careful, and less frivolous, in my spending. So while I would love to buy gobs of diapers, I have to be more realistic about what we really need, and what I simply *want*.

    Comment # 14 | Posted by Kathy S. | October 30, 2009, 10:16 am
  15. Our current economic condition actually encouraged us to use cloth but I haven’t been able to try as many kinds as I would like (such as BuBuBeBe fitteds).

    Comment # 15 | Posted by Shauna | October 30, 2009, 10:21 am
  16. The current ecomomy isn’t the reason we started using cloth diapers but it has limited on the kind of cloth diapers we buy. I have not been able to try out all of the ones I would like to. I just try to find the best deals possible!

    Comment # 16 | Posted by michelle | October 30, 2009, 10:29 am
  17. The economy is a lot of the reason we decided to go with cloth in the first place! We just started CDing with our 2nd baby (born in March 09). Wish I had been doing it all along! We bought OS diapers and bought the bigger size prefolds (we just fold the back down for now) so we wouldn’t have to buy bigger sizes later on.

    Comment # 17 | Posted by Amanda Cash | October 30, 2009, 10:30 am
  18. It hasn’t changed anything for us… saving money is the reason we started in the first place!

  19. Comment # 19 | Posted by Amanda Cash | October 30, 2009, 10:33 am
  20. Yes. Money is tight so we work with a very small stash. I have a combination of pockets and fitteds and prefolds that can get me through two days max. There is long list of products I would love to try, but it’s just hard to justify extra spending when I can get by with what I have. I’m really glad that I don’t have to shell out money for disposables every week.

    Comment # 20 | Posted by Jana | October 30, 2009, 10:34 am
  21. Have current economic stressors reduced or changed how you shop for cloth diapers and other natural baby products? Yes, I find myself searching for cloth diapers on craigslist, buying gently used for reduced prices. I am also choosier as to what I buy natural and what I don’t. I prioritize what items I think are most important to go organic/natural on.

    Comment # 21 | Posted by Janel | October 30, 2009, 10:35 am
  22. Yes, but then again, I’m always a saver, looking for a good deal.

    Comment # 22 | Posted by Melissa | October 30, 2009, 10:58 am

  25. It’s the primary reason we decided to look into cloth diapers, but I’m so glad we did! Because of economics, we’re using prefolds and covers I got off ebay (though she’s almost outgrown them) and I’m looking to begin sewing some of my own. I’d really love to win some so I can try out some other styles though!

    Comment # 25 | Posted by Stephanie | October 30, 2009, 11:05 am
  26. i was raised frugally and married a frugal guy… and always will be frugal..! it’s half the reason for using cloth…

    Comment # 26 | Posted by amy sommers | October 30, 2009, 11:06 am
  27. Not really. We, thankfully, haven’t been too impacted by economic stressors. But we’ve always been on a tight budget, so there isn’t much to change. :)

    Comment # 27 | Posted by Cristina | October 30, 2009, 11:09 am
  28. Not really - we’ve been under a very tight budget since before our first son was born anyways (hubby works FT and goes to school FT while I SAH)so, we mostly get used/gifts…or cross our fingers and toes and hope I win a giveaway, lol! :-D

    thanks!

    Comment # 28 | Posted by terra jones | October 30, 2009, 11:31 am
  29. Yes, we are tightening our belt quite a bit and that means less diaper buying. Sad, but I just have to wait a good long time and be very sure we actually need a new diaper. I find that waiting a few weeks before buying helps delay impulse buys.

  34. The current economy is one of the reasons that I am starting out with cloth diapers and the only reason that I was willing to even try prefolds!

    Comment # 34 | Posted by Zoey | October 30, 2009, 11:54 am
  35. I wouldn’t say the way I shop for cloth diapers and natural baby products has changed exactly. I think I am just more “aware” now. I do always look for discount promo codes before finalizing orders now whereas I was little lax about it before. I also keep closer track of store announcements, always buy on sale and use quantity discounts whenever I can!

    Comment # 35 | Posted by Mary Anne | October 30, 2009, 11:55 am
  36. We started to use cloth because of the current economic situation, but it also doesn’t allow for use to try lots of different kinds, especially the more expensive ones.

    Comment # 36 | Posted by momof3munchkins | October 30, 2009, 12:07 pm
  37. Yes I switched to cloth diapers because of economic stess.

    Comment # 37 | Posted by Maxine | October 30, 2009, 12:15 pm
  38. no - we chose cloth more for environmental (not economic) reasons

    Comment # 38 | Posted by kathleen | October 30, 2009, 12:26 pm
  39. The current economic climate doesn’t have a lot to do with our decision to cloth diaper. We have decided to do so based on environmental concerns.

    Comment # 39 | Posted by Michelle G. | October 30, 2009, 12:33 pm
  40. the economy is what led me to cloth in the first place. It has also weighed a little on my as far as how much we venture away from prefolds. The work well still for my newborn, so until money situations improve, pockets will have to wait.

    Comment # 40 | Posted by Lynn Wilson | October 30, 2009, 12:38 pm
  41. My baby is 7 months old, so the economy was bad before I started cloth diapering. So, I haven’t made any changes to the way I cloth diaper, but I don’t know if I would have done anything differently before the economy tanked.

    Comment # 41 | Posted by Maggie | October 30, 2009, 12:40 pm
  42. We have lived frugally for years now, it’s a way of life regardless of the state of the national economy. Hopefully though this recession will enourage families to use cloth diapering; there are so many wonderful benefits outside of the finanicial ones.

    Comment # 42 | Posted by Shannon F. | October 30, 2009, 12:46 pm
  43. Yes, we look for things on sale and try to win giveaways.

    Comment # 43 | Posted by Laura C | October 30, 2009, 12:48 pm
  44. I am more likely to look for diapers that are gently used now. And we probably keep her in them for a bit longer than we should, size-wise.

    Comment # 44 | Posted by Marianne | October 30, 2009, 12:58 pm
  45. I have chosen cloth diapers bc of both environmental as well as economical reasons- the waste associated with disposables was really getting to me - I was going every other week and purchasing a jumbo size box that was just going to the trash. I am very happy with my switch to cloth diapers!

    Comment # 45 | Posted by Melanie | October 30, 2009, 1:13 pm
  46. I just haven’t bought any more diapers. Thankfully my current stash is sufficient since my boy is currently potty training.

    Comment # 46 | Posted by Jennifer | October 30, 2009, 1:37 pm
  47. Even though the economy really hasn’t affected us all that much, I still look for bargains. I look at used cloth diaper sites a LOT, and am less reluctant to “try” things, sticking instead with things I know work. I also try hard to stick to my monthly budget on kids stuff, and often put off purchases to the next month.

    Comment # 47 | Posted by Jenny | October 30, 2009, 1:40 pm
  48. Economic reasons were one of the reasons we decided to cloth diaper in the first place. I have set a budget for how much we’d like to spend on cloth diapers but it is hard to stick with i! There are so many types of diapers I’d love to try!

    Comment # 48 | Posted by Tamara Sz. | October 30, 2009, 1:43 pm
  49. I choose to cloth because of the enviroment and the economy but I’m more about finding my faveorite diaper, that works for us … then trying to recoup a little back on the ones I don’t like on the used clothdiaper swapping sites.

    Comment # 49 | Posted by Tina P. | October 30, 2009, 1:46 pm
  50. I have only bought the minimum number of diapers we need to cloth diaper our son. It’s great, though, being able to not have to buy more diapers every week. That really helps out our budget.

    Comment # 50 | Posted by Sarah | October 30, 2009, 1:46 pm
  51. Yes the economy has played a role in my decisions to purchase cloth diapers. I went with the most economical choice (prefolds) and decided to invest in a few one size pockets in order to minimize purchasing diapers up to the toddler stage.

  56. The current economy hasn’t played as much of a role in my decision as my natural tendency to save money and my conscious decision to be as green as I can.

    Comment # 56 | Posted by Rachel Payne | October 30, 2009, 1:55 pm
  57. Disposables became too expensive for diapering twins. If the economy made that happen, then it is one of the reasons I switched to cloth.

    Comment # 57 | Posted by Tamber Jones | October 30, 2009, 2:03 pm
  58. We have actually just switched from disposables partly because of the price of them and partly so that we are not adding any more to the landfills.

    Comment # 58 | Posted by Amanda | October 30, 2009, 2:09 pm
  59. I originally intended to use only FuzziBunz for this baby (due in 5 days!) but after considering cost, etc. I have decided to use a mixture of prefolds with simple covers, and FuzziBunz. It will be simpler on the budget, but still be quality diapering.

  61. The economy is actually how we started cloth diapering. Though they were given to us. We’ve only bought a pack of gerber prefolds when we didn’t have money to keep buying disposables, 1 cover(for $2! It was at a consignment shotp) and 2 snappis, and 1 fitted on accident. I was lucky enough to have a nice gal from a mommy site help me out because we were so tight on money over the summer when my husbands hours were cut. We still dont have the money to buy diapers, and we dont have alot. I did get approved for Miracle Diapers but I have to be able to stitch down the elastic in the diapers I have and I dont have a sewing machine so I can’t use those diapers.

  70. Yes the economy certainly has me thinking of what is a neccesary versus “wanted” purchase. I’m glad we chose to do cloth since we don’t have the cost of disposables week after week. I just wish that there weren’t such adorable diapers out there - I am always wanting to add to my cloth stash and have to keep reminding myself that one of the reasons I cloth diaper is to save money!

    Comment # 70 | Posted by Amber | October 30, 2009, 3:09 pm
  71. Thankfully after my son outgrew his infant prefolds, we purchased a lot of one size diapers to fill our stash. I still have some OS fitteds, prefolds and homemade tshirt contours I use, especially at night, and my son is close to outgrowing covers. To save money I am making a few covers out of fleece. Not sure if they will work yet or not. Still a work in progress! :o)

    Comment # 71 | Posted by Sarah J | October 30, 2009, 3:11 pm
  72. Yes, I have to be careful and make sure that while all of the other covers are in the wash, I still have 1 or 2 clean ones to use. Plus, we use the prefolds with our covers, so when the velcro quit sticking on a few of them, we replaced it, instead of buying new ones.

    Comment # 72 | Posted by Beckie | October 30, 2009, 3:13 pm
  73. I still shop for the diapers I want. Even if they are a little more expensive. Because, I will reuse the ones I like. Which helps keep the cost down in the long run.

  91. I have always been incredibly frugal, so I’m not sure if the economy has changed how I shop much. I have definitely considered what people would be able to buy for my shower and have made sure I’ve registered for some lower cost diapering options - especially for those people who may not “get” the cloth diapering concept.

    Comment # 91 | Posted by Jessica | October 30, 2009, 4:12 pm
  92. Nope - I had most of my diapering needs set up when the baby was first born, so now if I want to try something new, it’s not too expensive.

  95. I haven’t needed to buy any new diapers in almost a year because my fuzzi bunz have held up so well. However, if we do have a new addition to our family we will probably go with a one size to help cut back on the number we have to purchase over time.

    Comment # 96 | Posted by Jasmine | October 30, 2009, 4:35 pm
  97. My purchasing habits for cloth diapers and related products are not really impacted by the economy. They are impacted more by the fact that I’m now diapering my second baby and reusing all the diapers from my first, so I haven’t really needed to buy anything new. Although, there are a lot of new products I would like to try once some of these diapers finally wear out!

    Comment # 97 | Posted by sara | October 30, 2009, 4:35 pm
  98. Nope. I’ve always loved hunting for a deal, so I continue to do so, but I’m pretty sure I would be buying the same things even in a better economy. However, if DH loses his job, things will change.

    Comment # 98 | Posted by Lisa | October 30, 2009, 4:48 pm
  99. Not too much. I have slowed down because I don’t ‘need’ any more diapers. We are expecting #2 in Feb. and I’m hoping to use mostly one-size diapers so that they will fit both kiddos. I’ll probably buy a little more before then, but not too much.

    Comment # 99 | Posted by Lucy | October 30, 2009, 4:51 pm
  100. Yes, I don’t buy near as many or as expensive of diapers as I used to. I am trying to go as cheap as I can now.

  101. I’ve always been a bargain shopper, so current economic issues haven’t really changed my habits. I’m a first time mom-to-be so I’m definitely researching what the best type of diaper for the best price is.

    Comment # 101 | Posted by Heather | October 30, 2009, 5:13 pm
  102. Yes. When we *thought* we needed a dispy for a rash or other reasons to use ointment, we’re trying to make do with liners instead. A lot cheaper!

  108. It has reinforced my decision to use cloth. I still think other natural baby products are important (food, shampoos, etc) so I will purchase those for my family and try to find good deals, and stock up when there’s a sale.

    Comment # 108 | Posted by Julie | October 30, 2009, 7:27 pm
  109. Yes, the economy has definitely limited my ability to refill my stash. Although the diapers are showing serious wear, they have to last a while longer, as there is no extra money to restock.

  134. We just switched to cloth. It was a partly economic decision and since I’ve received gifts, loaners, and second-hand diapers I’ve not needed to buy any cloth-related items. I also made most of my own baby wipes.

  139. Absolutely, We had already purchased the start of or diaper stash and them about a month later my husband lost his second job due to the lack of a state budget. We ordered more to complete our needs, we have a 2 1/2 yr old and an 8 mth old. I am still try some other options but I do love my BG 3.0 but have also just tried the new Flip diapers and I do like that you don’t have to stuff them and have a lot of covers. I find they work better for my older child because the rise in the front is higher.

  140. We used the cloth diapers with our first and now on our third we are so glad that we got away from disposable diapers!! We have saved so much and we use the Bum Genius 3.0 all in one so they can grow with our children. I do reccommend the snaps though over the velcro. We received most of them as gifts so we did not end up spending that much at all.

  145. Most definitely the current economic conditions are affecting my choices in daily living. It is the reason I have chosen to CD DD#2, due in December. DD#1 was in sposies for 2.5 years–I don’t want to think how much I spent on those things, just to throw them away!

  154. I think I read last weeks question and answered it so here goes again: The current economy has DEFINITELY influenced my choice to use cloth. In fact, saving money was the only reason I was interested in using cloth in the first place. Now, however, I see there are myriads of other benefits to cloth diapering so when the economy goes back up I’m definitely not stopping!

  184. Kind of. I have had a huge stash of Prefolds and Covers since my oldest child was born 4 1/2 years ago. They really need to be upgraded. But we just don’t have the money to buy new, so we look for used diapers and covers (kind of grosses me out) and we enter a lot of giveaways. With two in diapers we need a lot more diapers than one would think. Or I’d be doing laundry every day and we can’t really afford that either. I am always on the look out for a good deal though.

  186. Yes, we realized that we would soon be taking on a mortgage, so we took advantage of a great deal on BG3.0s when they were on sale before we’d have to take on a bigger payment. I also enter every blog contest I can about cloth diapering, but I only enter the ones I would really use, so someone else gets a chance. I also do my best to take care of the diapers exactly as the instructions say, and some of the AIOS we had before I got some repair kits for, so they can be held back if we have another baby and re-used. We will no longer even consider using disposables as a back up plan. As long as our dipes hold up until potty training, we will be very, very happy people with a cute tushie in cloth!

    Comment # 186 | Posted by Jill | November 2, 2009, 8:11 am
  187. Sort of. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for the last 6 years so it’s become habit to pinch pennies where I can. Not having to buy disposables really helps!

  189. “Have current economic stressors reduced or changed how you shop for cloth diapers and other natural baby products?”

    No.

    With only one tiny income, we have little to no money anyhow, which is the reason that we are doing cloth diapers. BUT we chose to have one income rather than try to find babysitters, risk infection from other children, and pay out most of a second income in disposable diapers and daycare fees.

    With so little money, I DO think that I don’t buy as many small things as I would like, and I know that I haven’t tried as many products as I want to, instead sticking to my tried and true prefolds… We have a gift of 7 Goodmamas from my SIL and I really want to try some other types of fitteds, but we certainly can’t afford them.

  190. The economy somewhat affects my diaper purchasing, but moreover my sense of practicality and conservation does. I am fortunate that I already had a good stash of diapers from my previous children when our newest arrived. Diapers have improved over the past 6 years and I would love to explore the better AIOs but I have limited myself to waiting until there is a true need.

  200. I have just now started using cloth diapers. I have only 3 and a few prefolds. I will be buying more since they are so wonderful. The economy has not affected us, only the price of disposables. We plan on more children soon and I am no longer working outside the home, so we only have one income.

  206. Yes! I realized that I can spend a lot of money on cloth diapers as well as disposables, so I’m sticking with what I have and making it work. (And I feel a little justified since I can reuse cloth, so splurging on a SuperDo for nighttime makes perfect sense when buying two eliminates the need for disposables!)

  207. yes, the only diapers that I have bought was the starter pack of prefolds and prowrap covers, all the rest of the diapers I have, I have made, mostly out of recycled fabric or seriously marked down remnants from JoAnn’s. Our stash is a hodge-podge, but it works and it saves money.

  209. Money being tight and our 6th child on the way, was what prompted me to look into cloth diapering. I loved the pocket diapers, but finances only allowed for prefolds and covers. We have a very small stash but it works for now. Will definitely have to add more for new baby!

  212. The economy hasn’t effect us too much thanks to my husbands wonderful job. However, we just had another baby and are down to 1 income so I love that we use cloth and don’t have to buy diapers all the time!

    Comment # 212 | Posted by Nicole | November 2, 2009, 4:52 pm
  213. No, the economy has not changed how I shop for cloth diapers. I generally look out for deals and specials, so if anything, I am finding more deals and have been buying more!

  215. I haven’t changed my shopping much due to the economy. I mainly use cloth diapers for environmental reasons, although it’s nice not having to order disposables all the time!

    Comment # 215 | Posted by DebbieKL | November 2, 2009, 7:13 pm
  216. Yes. I am now making my own cloth diapers! and natural baby products are not necessities as much (though I do have a few things that I won’t do without like natural baby lotions and all-natural bug sprays). I make my own cleaning products now, though, so i know those are safe and natural, to, not to mention economical!

  218. I like how cloth diapers save $ and are so much better for baby. sooo since we already had our diaper, most of them, it was really nice!

  220. The recession wasn’t the reason we decided to cloth diaper. Our concerns were definitely more environmental…. That said, what new parents don’t like saving money, especially when economic times are tough?
    We determined how much we’d spend each pay check on disposables and bought cloth instead. After a couple of months of phasing out disposables (we always planned to use sposies while our little one was a newborn as we knew she’d need frequent changes and grow so quickly), our stash is almost complete :) Switching was painless because we simply used our disposable budget…

  224. Yes, definitely. Current economic conditions drove our decision to use cloth diapers. Although after using them, i believe I would use cloth regardless.

    Comment # 224 | Posted by Julie H | November 3, 2009, 2:48 am
  225. Current economic conditions are one of the reasons we started cloth diapering. After we had the baby I ended up being a SAHM part-time so this means we have to watch what we spend even more.

  228. We decided to go with cloth diapers to save some money, even though when I buy disposables I use coupons and follow sales. But I’m now finding it can also be pricey to build our cloth diaper stash. A lot of the good cloth diapers cost a lot of money. Thanks for offering these give-a-ways!

    Comment # 228 | Posted by Rachael | November 3, 2009, 3:20 pm
  229. No, it hasn’t really changed our CDing. We try to cut costs in food though!

    Comment # 229 | Posted by Rachel | November 3, 2009, 5:06 pm
  230. Both are good, for different places. The cloth for home and the disposables for on-the-road.

    Comment # 230 | Posted by Linda Vickerson | November 3, 2009, 5:52 pm
  231. I have realized through these economic times that I am trying to save money by using cloth diapers, so I don’t need monthly “fluffy mail” no matter how cute or how much on sale. I have a good stash. I need to be content (although if it’s free, I won’t object!)

    Comment # 231 | Posted by Elizabeth | November 3, 2009, 8:37 pm
  232. I buy most of my diapers used on Craigslist to save money.

    Comment # 232 | Posted by Laura | November 3, 2009, 10:28 pm
  233. I do look for store incentives to add new cloth diapers to our stash now. Free shipping or % off specials are worth the wait.

    Comment # 233 | Posted by L. Michelle | November 3, 2009, 11:43 pm
  234. I do tend to look for lower prices on cloth diapers. The goal is to find one that works well and costs the least about of money. Sometime I wish we had more money to try more diper brands though.

    Comment # 234 | Posted by Tiffany | November 4, 2009, 2:54 am
  235. yes… I am in need of upsizing due to growth spurt but instead I decided to go the cheaper route and use prefolds and wool covers I made myself… also, I go the gdiaper route and use flat folds in them… much cheaper now for me… but been debating on the Econobums since they seem well made and cheaper… Man I hope I can win this one!!!! :o)

    Comment # 236 | Posted by Whittney Speed | November 4, 2009, 11:54 am
  237. Not really because my husband and I are both college students (yes, we are young parents!), so the economy hasn’t affected our financial lives too much. Needless to say, with practically no income we are finding every way possible to save money. And we’re tree-hugging hippies, so the saving money is almost the bonus to preserving the environment. And I love my pre-folds and homemade wool covers. So cheap. I cringe when I look at how much my friends pay for diapers!

  241. Yes, I have only 12 pocket diapers and and have been looking into used and generally cheaper products like prefolds to fill out my stash.

  244. No, I’ve always been up for saving money as well as trying to use as many natural products as possible, so my choice to cloth diaper had nothing to do with the economy.

  246. Have current economic stressors reduced or changed how you shop for cloth diapers and other natural baby products?

    No, I’ve always tried to be careful with money.

    Comment # 246 | Posted by Heidi | November 4, 2009, 10:32 pm
  247. Yes, it has. My son leaks out of every diaper I have at night and I can’t just go buy more to “try”. Also My pocket diapers I have been using a wile really need replacing..but we are just getting by and dealing with it!

    Comment # 247 | Posted by Elisha | November 4, 2009, 11:32 pm
  248. I’m just starting to buy, I can see how you can go overboard with spending. I always try to stay on budget though.

  250. when we had our first baby, we talked about the insane cost of diapers, and the nasty gel/footprint impacts of disposables. when we priced it out, we went with one-size options. certainly we have saved hundreds of dollars, and we love the cloth look and feel!

    Comment # 250 | Posted by michelle k. | November 5, 2009, 3:37 pm
  251. I actually just started shopping for cloth diapers recently. I have been using disposables and really want to cloth diaper my next child. I also want to finish off with cloth for my son if I can. My reasoning is mostly to do with the environmental impact, but money and the economy is having a pretty big influence as well.

    Comment # 251 | Posted by Rebecca | November 5, 2009, 9:55 pm
  252. Yes! I don’t buy anymore at all. So unless I win them, we are sticking to the stash we have
