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...]

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...]

To Spray or Not To Spray

customize-your-stash-1

To spray or not to spray? When I began my cloth-diapering journey, I purchased a package that contained the basics (dry pail, liners, deodorizer, detergent, and a diaper sprayer). Sadly, when my sprayer came, it did not attach to our toilet. This was not the end of the road, just a hiccup. So, I shook the diapers in the toilet and rinsed them in the sink. This is not a bad option, but read further for an alternative. Thus, my husband journeyed to Home Depot and bought some new attachments that … [Read more...]
