One of the mamas on Diaper Swappers posted a cloth diaper survey, and I thought that I would bring it here to share with everyone else. Make sure to post your answers in the comments!
1. What diapering item would you most like to try?
Some stretchy flats, a side-snapping mutt, a Goodmama, wool covers, and Thirsties covers.
2. What is your favorite diapering item of the ones you have tried?
Our Piddle Poddles, and BG 3.0.
3. What are some other diapering items you like?
Kissaluvs fitteds, Fuzzibunzpockets.
4. What diapering items have you tried and NOT liked?
I’m not a huge fan of prefolds due to the bulk. I don’t like how the aplix on my drybees PUL pockets folds up and irritates Kitten’s belly. I really really really love how absorbent my front snapping medium Mutt is, but it takes at least 2 hours to dry in the dryer, or all day on the line (plus at least another half hour in the machine). If these would dry faster, it would be the BEST diaper (I’ve since found out that the new BabyShapes come with a fast dry soaker, which would really help).
5. If you ever use disposables, why?
We only use them when Rob is home alone with Kitten and we run out of aplix pockets, or if we won’t have access to a washing machine. We also have a stack of disposables in our emergency storm area in the basement. Oh - and I had to use them when we had to use an anti-fungal cream.
6. How many of your IRL friends with babies use cloth diapers?
Two that I know of.
7. Do you NEED (not want) more diapers at this time?
I really could use one or two more BG 3.0, as they seem to be our bulletproof nighttime solution. I wash laundry every day right now, so I can put it on her every night, but it’s going to wear out a lot faster this way.
8. Do you WANT (not need) more diapers at this time?
Of course! There are a lot of diapers that I would love to own and try. I would definitely want more Piddle Poddles, and possibly more Mutts.
