Life is Not Bubble Wrapped

The GroVia All in One cloth diaper and cloth diaper cover dry quickly.

Last June I had the awesome fortune to win a Feed Your Stash Friday giveaway. It was my first giveaway win and I was very excited to try out one-size diapers, as I had been using all in ones and prefolds with covers before that! I was able to add two GroVia one-size diapers (including snap-in inserts and organic boosters) in kiwi green and mandarin orange to my little stash of cloth diapers. Don't they just sound deliciously cute? With my winnings came a discount code, and I was able to … [Read more...]

First Impressions of Cloth Diapers

CDB First Impressions 1

I’ve been using cloth diapers for over a year now and as I look at the cloth diapers that my daughter wears now as opposed to those she started with, I’m amazed at how differently I look at cloth diapering these days.  Specifically, I’m amazed at how some brands that were previously my favorites sit gathering dust unless I’m too lazy to do a wash and those brands that I didn’t like at first, are my favorites. My most trustworthy cloth diapers are those I didn’t like at … [Read more...]

A Case for Snaps on Cloth Diapers

Snaps on cloth diapers

I’m a part time Spanish teacher and today was my first day back at school. It was with mixed feelings that I kissed my husband and daughter goodbye this morning because, though I absolutely love teaching Spanish to my wonderful students for four hours every morning, my heart stays at home with my daughter and I dream of one day being a full-time stay at home mom. For now, though, it’s nice that my husband and I get to split the stay at home duties. Today, I found out, it was really … [Read more...]

Green Tip: Roll Your Clothes!

Congratulations to Rumparooz on their MACT award! Diaper Junction is proud to carry this wonderful brand.

If you're planning to take a flight sometime in the future you might be looking at your stack of cloth diapers and diaper covers and wondering how you're going to make it fit in your suitcase. With airlines charging for every bag, packing another suitcase might have you considering disposable - just for one trip of course. Before you head to the store, try this: roll your clothes. Fold pants, shirts, dresses, whatever you're packing lengthwise and then roll it up like a sleeping bag. Not only … [Read more...]

Do it Yourself or Ship off the Load. Should You Hire a Diaper Service?

cloth diapers

If you've used cloth diapers on your child for a while, no doubt a potential convert has asked you, "Why don't you just hire a service?" Surely having a company that specializes in cleaning soiled diapers and returning them, clean and fresh, back to you relieves you of the burden of at least one chore. Of course, it would be nice to hire a service that changes the diapers for you twenty-four/seven, but until that day comes one must wonder if the diaper cleaning service is worth it. Those … [Read more...]
