We CD full time. We're going out of province via plane at the end of July and I'm starting to wonder what to do for diapers. The couple of times I've used sposies I had major poop blow outs!! As in 3 in 1.5 days. Wondering what CD Mama's do on holidays where there is no access to laundry facilities. If you use sposies for that time which do you recommend? What about wipes? LO has super sensitive skin - when he was first born I used Pampers Sensitive and he reacted terribly so I switched to cloth.

We went on a ten-day trip to New Orleans to visit family. We used 7th Generation disposables. They worked well for us. We had considered using prefolds and covers, but ultimately it just seemed too expensive and like too much hassle.
-
We just use target brand sposies on trips. It's not worth it to me to go on vacation with cloth diapers..... it's not a vacation if you're always doing laundry. First I tried seventh generation but she leaked like crazy in those. We use kirkland wipes and haven't had issues. What about using a soft paper towel or something with a travel sized spray bottle for wipes?
-
For a 5 day trip with no laundry, I would definitely use disposables. We use Honest diapers and Earth's Best wipes.
E had really sensitive skin in the beginning--i find it's gotten less finicky as time goes on!
-
We ALWAYS use disposables on trips. 7th generation if we can get them, or whatever seems most naturalish. Huggies Pure and Natural. With blowouts unfortunately I think it's just sort of trial and error....
-
We use the Honest disposables and Honest wipes. Expensive, but for a short amount of time, totally worth it, I think.

We used sposies on trips.

I just wanted to add that if you can try some of different brands, that is the best yet. We tried Honest diapers this past weekend and they didn't work so well for Lorelei. They even fell off of her. I think it just had to do with her build and not the diapers themselves. Whereas the 7th generation seem to fit more trimly (she has a fairly narrow waist and small thighs) and worked better for us.

@Mrs. Twine: I think you're right about trying different brands! The last time we used sposies I tried 7th generation (most recently) and had CRAZY explosions - I think it's fit, as you said Lorelei has small thighs and narrow waist whereas my LO is a tank! The time before it was Honest co diapers which worked amazing then (only a couple of pee leaks) but the issue is I can't get them in Canada
I am so sad.@artbee: Great idea with the paper towel! I think I'll do that and just carry them in a small zippered case.
@blackbird: Do you know if Earth's Best are available in Canada by chance? Are they good for sensitive babes?
@sloaneandpuffy: Maybe I'll try that type of Huggies!
@meredithNYC: I agree, expensive but worth it for a short trip. They worked well for us, would love to get my hands on them again!
@zippylef: Any particular kind that you found worked/fit best? I think I remember reading that your LO is on the higher % like my LO.

@lolabee: We used the GroVia hybrid system when we are traveling more than 3 days without laundry. The shell is cloth, but the liner is a sposie. We never had blow out issues with them.
DS was also really sensitive when we was younger and he did fine with the GroVia's (we only had to use them on 1-2 trips though). We also had to use cloth wipes, with no solution, just water because of how sensitive he was/is, but we have found that he can tolerate the Target sensitive wipes now. He can also use the Target diapers at the moment (we had to stop CDing early this year because of an issue he was having after an allergic reaction to nutritional yeast...before that we CD'd full time).
ETA: I would try the Target diapers if you wanted to try a sposie. DS was always higher %tile for weight (I'm assuming that's what you were referring to in your last response) and they have fit him well. No blow out or leaking issues.
-
We use disposables for trips by plane (regardless of length or access to laundry), because you would be hard pressed to get your CD's replaced by an airline if they were to get lost.
We use huggies natural diapers and wipes, and have yet to have a blow out with them for travelling.
-
@lolabee: She's 95th percentile, generally. We like Huggies Little Snugglers/Movers.
-
@anbanan15: Thanks!! That is exactly what we use, water & cloth wipe. I will pick up some dipes & wipes from Target.
@MsMini: YIKES! I did not even think about that! OMG I would actually sit down and bawl if that happened. I love my diapers, so weird!
-
@lolabee: Hope they work out for you. At least at their price compared to name brands it won't be *so* bad if they don't in terms of hitting the pocket. I think the Target (or all the brands they carry?) are on sale this week.
-
@anbanan15: great, thank you!!
I am so sad.Reply
