for those who use cloth diapering what do you use? Do you make them or just get the bundle packs of cloth and use those, do you make the shells? Inquiring minds want to know

When my daughter was in cloth diapers, we used Bumkins brand AIO's (All-in-ones).

I was looking at this one brand on eBay, Little Lambs, you can use them 8-35lbs, they're adjustable for size. If it's less and easier to make them, than I may just make them.

I bought gerber 100 % cotton cloth diapers and diaper wraps. The wraps area plastic shell type thing with velcro to keep it closed. They are a national brand but I've never found them at target or wal-mart. I washed my own. It was no big deal. When I worked at the daycare we used a diaper service. just as convient as disposable


ETA I spent $70 on cloth diapers for Lily. If she wouldn't have had toddler diarreah thats all I would have ever spent on her diapers.

Yeah, I was figuring the cost for infant diapers and it's going to cost about $80 a month! Having 2 in diapers (even though Gwen's are about $20 max a month) is going to be a lot! $100 a month! :no

Here is a good place to look at reviews and comments about different brands.

I personally don't like happy heiny's. I think the fleece is cheap and it pills badly. I have a jelly bean AIO and it too cute. Kind of bulky but cute and it works. Those are the only two I have bought.

I use GAD's (Green Acre Designs). She has a small operation, but her diapers are GREAT! I have had no problems with them, and she is super helpful!

When we have a baby, I plan to at least try cloth diapers. Let us know how they work for you!

I've used the ones that Lucretia makes, a friend of ours Stephanie makes, fuzzi buns, and wonderoos mostly
