They don't leak or anything, but they just haven't warn very well. I am already needing to replace them. I have been looking to buy more diapers for baby number 3! I can't wait to cloth diaper this one too! I really do love it!suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14832909382696305252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-41349454900290761532010-05-14T23:14:42.716-04:002010-05-14T23:14:42.716-04:00Didn't know you used cloth.

It will be a while. =)The Lestershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892396877354043038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-11587272079102637572010-05-14T14:38:40.119-04:002010-05-14T14:38:40.119-04:00Kelly ....I totally thought the idea of cloth was ...Kelly ....I totally thought the idea of cloth was ridiculous when I first heard about it!!! But I have been really surprised at how relatively easy it has been. Yes, I have not enjoyed a few gross moments (maybe more than a few), but I'm really pleased with it and love not buying disposables all the time! I didn't do a ton of research, but the thirsties have worked great and I love the "duo-wrap" option for longevity. I don't really mind folding them either, cause it gives me an excuse to watch Rachael Ray :)juliechallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723363486772009560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-57258363879851099822010-05-14T14:05:40.459-04:002010-05-14T14:05:40.459-04:00Kelly, Aaron was done at 2 1/2!

I have seen those sold online. <br /><br />and I can certainly dream about potty-training @ 2!! everyone nowadays says boys are at 3. so I am not going to hold my breath, but I can always hope. :)kellyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171309204329616736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-85384781814454352892010-05-13T19:13:40.387-04:002010-05-13T19:13:40.387-04:00I feel so vindicated.Used to when I would suggest ...I feel so vindicated.Used to when I would suggest that cloth diapers are cheaper (no brainer if you look at prices and how many you use), people would just roll their eyes at this weird old fashioned gross idea. They thought it was gross. Well, it is also gross to wrap up that stuff in a diaper and put it in the trash can too:):))::)<br /><br />I am so happy to see young people finding this out.Also I have learned from observation and reading that they do potty train earlier. All 3 of my boys were basically trained by 2.<br /><br />We used cloth and rubber pants. We just had a diaper pail with solution they soaked in until washed. <br /><br />We all live and learn and I am happy for all that you have learned and your openess to a new but very old idea. Everything can be tweaked to be better always.<br /><br />I always just see a dollar (or more) bill every time I put a paper diaper in the trash):<br /><br />But it is up to each individual of course.These old ideas are "gree". You remember Mama telling you to turn out the lights too don't you?<br />haha<br />turns out that is "green"<br /> well, motherhood is an adventure and I am glad to have been and am a part of it still.<br />It is fun to share the journey with you through your blogging<br /><br />love always,<br />Mom HAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668226946635917367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976610240077706158.post-90599648808090858342010-05-13T16:00:50.009-04:002010-05-13T16:00:50.009-04:00Kelly, I'm super part time cloth diapering, (I...Kelly, I'm super part time cloth diapering, (I found pampers boxes awhile back for $4 each, so...) but we are almost out and I'm actually (kinda) looking forward to going back to my BumGenius diapers. I bought a yard of hemp fleece about a year ago and made my own inserts for those. SUPER trim diaper and they absorb pretty well for daytime. And I double up a hemp and a microfiber at night. I have like 2 dozen BumGenus diapers (1.0 and 2.0) so I really have no excuse not to do it.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160352727815500872noreply@blogger.com
