Cloth Diaper Survey

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.

Great idea! I’ll post my answers that I had on DS:

1. What diapering item would you most like to try?
Piddle Poddles are up there and I’d also like to try some different fleece covers (wrap style)

2. What is your favorite diapering item of the ones you have tried?
It’s going to sound cliche, but I really like GMs. I wish I had more. (i only have one)

3. What are some other diapering items you like?
I’ve just started trying out some prefitteds and I REALLY like them. I love my BG 3.0’s too, nothing gets through those and they make a great night-time diaper. Also LOVE my Wahmies pail liner and wish I had another one to use while the current one is being washed.

4. What diapering items have you tried and NOT liked?
I’m really not digging my Mutt 3sr. The snaps confuse the heck out of me. I don’t like the aplix on the Rumparooz, I would like to try snaps.

5. If you ever use disposables, why?
I use them on my 2 year old because we don’t have quite enough diapers for two kids. I do not use them on my dd. They don’t work for her poops anyhow.

6. How many of your IRL friends with babies use cloth diapers?
NONE!

7. Do you NEED (not want) more diapers at this time?
YES (though I want new diapers too). My stash is pretty small and while technically I could get by with what I have, I really would like to add to it and have more variety and wiggle room.

8. Do you WANT (not need) more diapers at this time?
I guess the answer to this is no, because I NEED.

1. What diapering item would you most like to try?
I am intrigued by the thought of velour

2. What is your favorite diapering item of the ones you have tried?
Either FuzziBunz or Happy Heinies Pockets

3. What are some other diapering items you like?
Drybees, Sumbuns

4. What diapering items have you tried and NOT liked?
I liked prefolds until we hit toddlerhood - now they are way too bulky. I hate Mommy’s Touch diapers because they have too many snaps and the butt sags. BumWears suck majorly, too. I’m not a big fan of fitteds (at that expense, why not buy a pocket and get some better wicking power?)

5. If you ever use disposables, why?
Don’t use disposables.

6. How many of your IRL friends with babies use cloth diapers?
3 out of 3

7. Do you NEED (not want) more diapers at this time?
Not really

8. Do you WANT (not need) more diapers at this time?
yes, of course. ;)
