I'm always sad when they come out with cute new colors because my husband will kill me if I buy anymore! But I'm still finding other cloth things to try. My newest is wipes and so far I love it, wish I started months ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29999 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 21:03:12 +0000 sulli301 29999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: It looks like you got most of your questions answered, but if you have any more feel free to ask! I really love to CD &amp; have tried LOTS of brands, accessories, etc :) Careful though, cloth diapering can get addicting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29886 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:58:37 +0000 heffalump 29886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: awesome! I really don't think you'll regret it, I love our cloth diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29864 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:13:33 +0000 cyndistar3 29864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Thanks :) I am definitely going to try to convince the husband that it is a good idea lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29838 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:25:44 +0000 heffalump 29838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I get them on amazon.

Maybe they did before too and I just missed them. If you want to get them off of amazon for cheaper you can always do the swagsbucks tool bar. You just use it instead of google for searches and it gives you points which you can use to redeem dollars at amazon. It's a bit annoying to use though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29824 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 13:52:27 +0000 cyndistar3 29824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Yea, I am a big fan of Amazon :) What kind of liners do you get and where do you get them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29822 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 13:49:12 +0000 heffalump 29822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I think it's great to buy from amazon! You get the same diapers, might as well save some money on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29810 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 13:35:23 +0000 cyndistar3 29810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Well I found a 24 pack of bumgenius elemental diapers for $490 opposed to the $600 it would cost for 24 on thegreennursery.com </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29792 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 13:04:42 +0000 Maysprout 29792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I bought some of mine off of there when they had % off discounts. There might be some discount for buying off of amazonmom. They don't have all the brands though, like no bumgenius. The cloth diaper board on babycenter is usually all over sales. Also babydealsdujour.com is a list of sales and sometimes has cloth diapers. On zulily right now there are fuzzibunz (unless theyre all sold out) and you can buy a coupon for zulily off of plum district andget even more of a discount. Also look into buying seconds, there's usually only a tiny mark on them, they're new but discounted because of a small cosmetic flaw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29789 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 13:00:00 +0000 cyndistar3 29789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Is it bad to buy diapers off amazon? I was just looking and they were quite a bit cheaper there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29787 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:52:48 +0000 Maysprout 29787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent a lot less on diapers though I have a variety of diapers, and there's plus and minus to having a variety. But if you've got time you can wait for a good sale and you can get diapers for substantially cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29778 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:34:40 +0000 cyndistar3 29778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I guess I will just have to bring it up with my husband lol... I don't know how he feels about dropping $750 on diapers at one time haha. I definitely think I would prefer all in ones... seems a lot easier. Also, where do you get your liners? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29776 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:25:28 +0000 heffalump 29776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I only use elemental. I don't think 4.0 are all in one, so you'd be dealing with inserts and such. But I'm not 100% on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29771 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:22:48 +0000 heffalump 29771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: Also, if you cloth diaper it's also easy to transition to cloth wipes, which saves money. I just use baby wash cloths and spray her tush with water. Unless it's a poo, then I use normal wipes. I'm like you, I don't want to deal with the poo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29770 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:22:26 +0000 cyndistar3 29770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: good points! What is the difference between the elementals and the 4.0? Have you used both? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it/page/2#post-29767 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:20:30 +0000 heffalump 29767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I don't think I spent that much either, I do think it was cheaper b/c I bought in bulk. </p> <p>I think 30 is a good number for me, but if we had a couple less we would be fine. Now I do a wash every other day and always have some left over, I'm never worried that she's not going to have a diaper. Plus, the more you have the less wear they get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29766 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:17:55 +0000 cyndistar3 29766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I am so about to do some math because I do not remember spending that much on diapers lol... How many would you say a person would need? Did you think 30 was too much or enough? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29765 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:17:19 +0000 heffalump 29765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I think it's cheaper if you buy in bulk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29763 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:15:46 +0000 heffalump 29763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: Lol, yes. I said it's a big investment! But, they will last her whole diapering life, and her siblings. I bought 30 so that's $750 (I wouldn't have even bought that many but my parents offered to help). And now I never have to buy another diaper. How much to you spend on disposables? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29760 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:12:53 +0000 cyndistar3 29760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Oh my goodness are they really $25 for ONE diaper???</p> <p>ETA: Nevermind! I would totally buy them online because the only store that carries them here wants $25 per diaper... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29757 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:10:47 +0000 heffalump 29757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I bought them online, we don't have a store near us that sells them, or I would have done that because I'd rather have been able to see/feel them first since it's such a big investment. </p> <p>Thegreennursery.com. I looked at a bunch of sites and there was no difference in price so I just picked one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29753 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:06:23 +0000 cyndistar3 29753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: do you buy your diapers in a store or online? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29717 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:37:15 +0000 heffalump 29717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: They have a new All in One, One Size coming out that has a semi removable insert. It helps for faster drying times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29715 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:36:10 +0000 cyndistar3 29715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: Thank you! I will definitely have to check it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29714 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:35:38 +0000 cyndistar3 29714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Ooooh all in one! I think I am being convinced.... and they have pretty colors :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29702 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:29:45 +0000 owlmom 29702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I found the website dirtydiaperlaundry.com super helpful in answering a lot of my cloth diaper questions. The blogger does a ton of video reviews of different styles of cloth diapers, and has some very informative posts about how each style (pocket, all-in-one, fitted, etc) works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29699 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:22:44 +0000 heffalump 29699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I think it's much easier for SAHM's, since I'm able to do laundry whenever I need to. They have different options for diapers. Some you have to keep buying more as they get bigger, but I use Bum Genius Elementals, they're All in One, One Size. So they will grow with her. They have snaps so you can make the diaper bigger or smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29696 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:19:03 +0000 cyndistar3 29696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a SAHM this time and thats the only reason I am even considering it. </p> <p>@artbee: How often do you have to buy new diapers? Is it the same as disposables where theres a weight range for each size? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-how-do-you-do-it#post-29692 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:13:18 +0000 heffalump 29692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: It's $8 for 100 pack of liners. And for me, I know my baby girl is going to have one poo a day, usually in the morning. So after that poo, I stop putting liners in so I'm not wasting them. </p> <p>Personally, price isn't my big reason for doing cloth though anyway. It's just a big perk. </p>
