Snaps vs. Aplix, The Great Debate

Aplix Diaper

Aplix – it’s pretty awesome… When I was first researching cloth diapers and which brands and such to go with one thing was clear – we would NEED to use snaps! I read blog after blog which warned of sneaky smart diaper removing babies and I was NOT going to be one of those people who would walk away for 2 seconds and have poop all over my living room! I must say that in the great debate aplix has some super advantages over snaps that new mommies should know about! We started our cloth … [Read more...]

Cloth Diapering: Not Just for SAHMs!

cloth diapers

Cloth diapering and daycare, one of these things just isn’t like the other. Living in Tennessee, I get strange looks anytime the subject of cloth diapering is discussed.

I still sometimes cannot believe I have managed to find a cloth diaper friendly day care center. I started cloth diapering at fourteen months. My son had a diaper rash. Constantly. I had to apply cream at every diaper … [Read more...]

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...]

There are so many different types of cloth diapers on the market right now it can be overwhelming. It's easy to think you have to try every new cloth diaper that comes along, but it can be very harmful to your budget. (A big reason I like cloth diapers is because they save me money). When I was starting to build my diaper stash, I really wanted FuzziBunz Pocket Diapers. I chose this brand and style based on reviews I read. I received several of these diapers as baby gifts before the … [Read more...]

Tots Bots Easy Fit One-Size Pocket Diaper Review

Being a newbie to cloth diapering I wonder if much I have to say will be helpful information to other mamas, seeing as how I don't have a ton of experience. Maybe, at the very least, I can be helpful to mamas just starting out on their own adventure in cloth diapering! Just a few weeks ago I was very lucky and won a giveaway for a cloth diaper from this blog's FYSF (FEED YOUR STASH FRIDAY). At this time I had maybe 4 cloth diapers to my name, so I was super excited! I won the Tots Bots … [Read more...]
