Anyone else want to add prices? I'm trying to find best price/way to buy applecheeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-start-up#post-499808 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 01:15:43 +0000 shopaholic 499808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: Just reading back and found this old thread! Very inspiring and encouraging to see your last post and how you've been able to keep up with the CD'ing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-start-up#post-421309 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:38:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 421309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I just came back to this thread that is 11 months old. I can't believe I have been using CD's for over a year! </p> <p>Just to update: </p> <p>The 2 GroVia shells are holding up ok. The H&amp;L is rolling over a bit even though they are line dried. The fit is still wonderful on my LO now that she is 15 months and 26lbs. </p> <p>We also did try the BG4.0's Pockets. They are ok. I hate the inserts and some of my pockets have relaxed elastic in the legs even with line drying. It causes leaks some times. We also have 2 BG Elementals and they have held on great! I don't always like the fit of these and how the inner cotton bunches up. </p> <p>We also have several Charlie Bananas (size M) that I got on sale from zulily. We really love how soft these are and the pocket opening in front. It is a microfiber insert but each diaper comes with two and they seem to be holding up better than the BG4.0 microfiber inserts. </p> <p>Lastly, we did go back and try a Thristies Duo Diaper (their pocket diaper). I really like the fit of these and I LOVE the insert. The velcro on these does not hold up at all. Again, no trouble with leaks. </p> <p>To try to save our pockets even though our inserts were shot, I bought a pack of 3 organic Flip prefolds. I love these. They hold SO much and never stink. The flip cover is nice too (wipes out unlike Grovia) if you want to do the prefold plus a cover route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-380603 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 00:32:32 +0000 brownie 380603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I just got the flip trainer. It looks cute. It pulled on well. It was still really wide so I had to make sure it pulled up to the inside of his legs. But once there he seemed happy in it. I liked the rise. So, so far so good. I want to buy some more. I think our faves are the Flip and the Grovias. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-378044 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:21:01 +0000 brownie 378044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: our guy is teeny (20 pounds) so finding small sizes has been a challenge. I was prepared for the grovias to be too big but actually liked the one we got. The fuzzibunz looks nice until you put it on and I don't know whose legs they fit on cause they didn't fit my little man. The blueberries are nice but not waterproof. We tried a best bottoms but I think they are a bit big still. So I'm pinning some hope on the flip as a hybrid option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-378019 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:10:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 378019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: I would love to know what you think of the trainer! Those are our next purchase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-378016 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:08:27 +0000 brownie 378016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I ordered a flip trainer to try. We had to move from clOth diapers to sposie pullups because we are early potty training. I'm hoping that trainer doesn't disappoint, it looks nicer. But we don't do much diapers now cause he can't get them off. So our experience is definitely with baby sizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-378003 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:00:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 378003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: I agree. The flips are wider and looser I guess than the Grovias. However fitting an organic cotton prefolds is a bit easier into a flip on my toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377893 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:38:46 +0000 sandy 377893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: we were gone for 8 days and I took a bunch in my diaper bag for the long flight (and in case our bags got lost) and then packed one thing of flushables and it was more than enough. We stayed in a hotel for a few days and then stayed with family and had no issues :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377867 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:16:15 +0000 pastemoo 377867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: Good to know. I am going away for 5 days and considering bringing my flushies (if I have room in my suitcase). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377726 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:13:55 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 377726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can use g-diaper inserts in my Applecheeks covers :) Haven't been able to find any other brands to try, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377618 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 14:44:36 +0000 brownie 377618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lantern: Compared to the Grovias, the Flips just felt cheap to us. They were really wide in comparison as well. I did like the inserts and sometimes we use the inserts in our Grovias. Although for the most part we use gCloth inserts because they are cheaper but work well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377609 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 14:37:08 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 377609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@c.sassy: Thanks for sharing! I'm thinking of going with Flips and definitely want to hear the good, bad, and the dirty LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377542 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:09:15 +0000 Weagle 377542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lantern: I have tried them. I just prefer to have gussets when I'm using a cover and prefold/fitted. They do look the same as the other BGs, but they don't perform the same IMO. A lot of people love them, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377524 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:46:58 +0000 sandy 377524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love gdiapers! We mostly use the flushables but also have the cloth. We went on a last minute trip from WA to AL to visit a sick relative and we used gdiapers the entire trip and it was no big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377495 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:07:58 +0000 pastemoo 377495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: Cool. I had only seen them in the package and hadn't tried them before. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377490 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:02:37 +0000 brownie 377490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: yes, usually in the Grovia shells I don't use the sticky but we have taped it into blueberry trainers for longer trips. The older ones are better than the new ones but we've never had a leak or pooplosion.</p> <p>You don't have to stick them to anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377489 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:01:10 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 377489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@c.sassy: Have you used the Flips before? Just curious why you don't like them. It looks the same as the rest of the Bum Genius line. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377478 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:48:30 +0000 Weagle 377478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't use hybrids, but I will say that I do not like Flip covers. I don't understand why everyone raves about them. I will also say that we use disposables to travel :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377476 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:47:21 +0000 pastemoo 377476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: Have you used the grovia sticky-backed disposables? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377473 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:46:37 +0000 pastemoo 377473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kcrzn89: I know--gDiapers newborns are the best diaper ever!</p> <p>I love my gDiapers but don't love the learning curve. That said--they are GREAT with the "flushies."<br /> I've tried the Flips and they are fine. I don't like how the elastic wears out (lower resale value and potential for leaking). I've never tried Grovia because they are expensive but I know you can't use their disposables inside the Flip or gDiapers because of the sticky back (it would mess up the PUL/plastic in Flip/gDiaper). You can use the Flip or gDiaper disposable in all 3.<br /> (At least that's what my local cloth diaper store taught me in their cloth diaper 101 class.)<br /> The Flip is flatter/smaller than the gDiaper, so that is convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-hybrid-diaper#post-377441 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:26:22 +0000 Kcrzn89 377441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really understand what "hybrid" means, but I prefer my gDiapers for newborns, and now I like my Swaddlebees Simplex AIOs for my 6 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-average-price-for-each-brandstyle-of-cloth-diapers#post-334910 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:42:52 +0000 loveisstrange 334910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: Yeah, I agree.
