I’ve been on Diaper Swappers for at least a month, and I have been always in awe of this thing called Hyena Cart. Apparently it’s a website that allows for all sorts of Work-At-Home-Mom’s to sell their wares. Some of the diapers from Hyena Cart can go for $50-100, especially if there is a bidding war. I always thought that it was a bit too rich for my blood, and never really bothered to browse.
Friday, I took the plunge and registered at Hyena Cart, just as a shopper. This allows me to see when the different stores are stocking, I can see the items that I’ve bookmarked as cool, and to enter for some of the stores’ “free for shipping” lottos (meaning that I just have to pay for the shipping). I was so excited! I’ve been checking the stocking calendar to see if there is anything that I like on it, if there’s anything that I “need” to have.
I found a diaper that I like. I don’t love it. I’m not even sure why I really want to buy it. I haven’t decided if it will make me feel like a cool kid because “OMG! I bought a hyena cart diaper! I am so cool!”, or if I want to buy it because it will make me feel like a socially responsible consumer (buying from a WAHM instead Big Corporation, Inc.). I’m really kind of confused for my motive. I feel like I have a motive because I looked at it and said “cuuuuuuuuute”, but not “I neeeeeeeeed this”! So, here’s the diaper. Will someone please go buy it so I won’t? It’s only $15 plus shipping, and that’s really reasonable for a pocket diaper. (Alternatively, if you’ve used a Trendy Tush Pocket AIO diaper, and you loved it, tell me that too - then maybe I will buy it!)

There is also a group of Etsy sellers (other WHAMS, similar to Hyena cart) dedicated to cloth diapers. Check it out!
In my opinion it is much more user friendly to buy on Etsy than HyenaCart. Etsy fees are also lower than Hyena Cart so it is a saving that the WHAMs can pass on to you.
