PEEYEW!

We are currently trying to get pregnant and I hadn’t really thought about what kind of diapers to use. Thank you for the info on cloth!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
BumGenius lover here! hope I win:-)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

My husband and I are expected our first this fall and are planning to cloth diaper. I’ll take all the tips I can get! Thanks for the great post today and the giveaway.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!

We just started researching cloth diapers. Great article to get us started, thank you!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Get on a schedule. If you know you have to wash diapers every other day – you won’t run out. Cold rinse, hot wash, cold rinse then dry.

06.June.2013

“PEEYEW!” I admit cloth diapering isn’t for everyone, but for anyone considering it, I have to encourage you that it is so much easier than it seems. With our first daughter, I almost chickened out at the last second and I’m so glad I didn’t. We’ve saved so much money, and honestly, it’s nice to just throw a load of wash in, rather than panic about getting out of the house to get more diapers. I also use disposables from time to time, which takes the stress away. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I will add though, that we use about 25+ bum genius 4.0 pockets, and it is really nice to have extras and not be in such a hurry to wash. At almost 2 years, they still seem as good as new, and we will be using them for Baby #2 coming this summer.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!! Try out a few types first to see what you like and what fits your baby well. We use BumGenius Elementals for day and Thirsties DUO AIO with an extra insert at night, no leaks!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

No kiddies yet…

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I wish I had a gem of wisdom regarding cloth diapering but I haven’t had to change a diaper in about 9 years. I do wish I would have known more about cloth diapering when my babies were babies, I am thinking of all of the money I could have saved, along with a landfill or two.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I’m pregnant with my first and am due in October. My husband and I have decided that we’re going to use cloth diapers. Your post today was so helpful!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!! My daughter loves to take her clothes off including her yucky messy diapers.. a mess bag would be perfect!!!! No advice on cloth diapers, but advice on night time clothes removal by a 2 year old.. zipper pjs with the feet cut off -put on backwards.. :) Works like a charm..

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I have a black wet bag that was gifted to me and OH SO BORING. I would love a cute colorful one instead!

I use the disposable liners for #2 and that has made all the difference in ease of use. I also use disposables at night to avoid leaks. Hey, I do what I can when I can…

06.June.2013

“PEEYEW!” No kids yet..unless you count the dog :)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! No kids yet, but my friends with the cloth diapers all seem to like Bum Genius better than Fuzzi Bunz.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I just found out that I am pregnant with our first so I’m pretty new to the cloth diaper conversation. But I’m definitely interested!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I’m expecting my first in 6 weeks and my husband and I would love to try cloth diapering. We have a few things from my sister to get us started but this would be awesome! So cute :)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!! I have never used cloth diapers. Maybe in the future!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! Can’t wait to start using cloth diapers!! I’ve spent my afternoon researching and I’m finding that the more I learn, the more I want to use cloth diapers!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

It’s been a year since we’ve used cloth and are now gearing up for number 2 this fall. I need to pull out our diapers and research how to wash/strip/care for them again!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
We went all in and use flats with covers and we make our own detergent. It’s much easier than I thought it would be. Snappie fasteners are great. Just make sure your rash cream is safe for cloth diapers or it will build up on the diapers and they won’t be as absorbent.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
Not a cloth diaper user, but I am mom to a heavy-duty spitter, so we’re always having to go through clothing / bib changes.. a wet bag would be great!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

My best advice for CDing is to give yourself the freedom to be flexible. Like your choice to wait until 3 months, I didn’t use CDs until my daughter was 6 weeks. With baby #2 (due in September!), if eel comfortable starting with cloth right away. But I’m glad I let myself ease into it (and to se disposables whenever/whyever after that)at first. No reason to put more pressure on ourselves!

PEEYEW! Would love one of these for my 3 month old!!!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! Just found out and we need a lot of stuff fast – and I am all for anything reuseable!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! No cloth diapers here!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!! I am 12 weeks with my first, so I have no advice :) But I would love to hear more about cloth diaper options!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I would love this for my new grand baby that is coming in August!!

06.June.2013

Peeyew! I am dying to cloth diaper my second (currently expected) kiddo. I would have with my first, if only we didn’t rely on a public laundry room at the time.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! My advice is to be flexible – life is so much easier when you can toss a disposable every once in awhile – or let extended family use disposables when they are on babysitting duty!

06.June.2013

Peeyew!

I got nuthin’–I’d be using this for swim suits :-)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We just broke the zipper off of our favorite wet bag – I’d love a snazzy new bag!

And our diaper routine is very much like yours… we love the Bum Genius Brand!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

My husband and I are trying to conceive and would love to cloth diaper someday so this will come in handy! Thanks for the info on the cloth diapers.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I don’t have kids yet, but hope to try cloth when the time comes! Thanks for the info! :)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! similar cloth experience here. we use disposables for trips and overnight. i used charlie’s soap when i first started, but then started making my own which also works great. i prefer to use prefolds and covers instead of all-in-ones, but they are definitely convenient. I’ve used many brands and like bumgenius, fuzzibunz, and thirsties best. having used some of my diapers on 3 children i will say that the velcro closures don’t hold up as well as all snap diapers. cloth can be scary at first and you might cringe every time you dunk (or spray) the poo, but it really is worth it! thanks for the giveaway!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Due with our first in September and looking forward to a cute cloth diaper bottomed boy!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I’ve been thinking about making the switch. You make it look so easy!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! No cloth diaper experience here, sorry!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! Love cloth diapering, I’ve never regretted it. I highly recommend buying used diapers for even more cost savings, as well as a way to try different styles. It was a great way for me to experiment and find our perfect nighttime diapering system–fitted diaper with wool cover.

06.June.2013

Peeyew! I love cloth diapers.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!
I am currently cloth diapering my second baby who is 7 months old! This has been fantastic because it has been free- she uses all of big brother’s diapers that were still in excellent (like new!) condition! Our current favorite is the Bum Genius 4.0 – and we could always use a new wet bag!! <3

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I just had my third baby, but this is my first experience with cloth diapering. I’ve been trying several different brands and have finally committed to FuzziBunz, but I still have so much to learn, so I’m looking forward to reading through the comments!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

My little lady (and first born) is 7 months, and we started cloth diapering when she was about 4 months. We’re only a few months in, but we love cloth! My tip would be to not over-think the washing routine. A rinse, a wash, and then another rinse works really well for us. Also, don’t let poo diapers turn you off! Whether you’re cloth diapering or not you’re bound to get poop on you.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! We’re Bum Genius users too and I love them! These wetbags are adorable and would be perfect for out and about. At home we use a 5 gallon bucket from Lowes that I put a gamma lid on- works great (don’t have to worry about leaks, contains stink, and the lid screws easily on and off).

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I don’t have any kiddos or cloth diapering advice (yet), but I have some friends who talked about joining funds to buy newborn-size cloth diapers to share, since you go through so many at first but the babies don’t stay that size for long.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I am planning to use cloth diapers for our first kid (I am at 26wk now). No one around me has used cloth diaper and they think it is a lot of work.
I was raised using cloth diapers and my mom thinks it is great!

06.June.2013

Peeyew!
I also use bumGenius all in ones for my 6 month old daughter. I love them. We basically have the same routine but we use Nellie’s wash powder. I like it.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! My husband and I are expecting our first baby in September and plan on using cloth diapers – this info (and hopefully the wetbag!) will be very useful for us.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We love our PlanetWise wet bags and pail liners. Try a variety of diapers. Turns out my daughter is sensitive to microfiber so I had to switch to natural fibers. My favorite are the swaddlebees/blueberry simplex OS AIO; but since they are pricey we have a lot of the Grovia AIO. Also, for those that are poop adverse, we got a Potty Pail (http://www.pottypail.com/), which helps. It could be DIY for much cheaper. I also second that 24 diapers is a good number. I got a bunch of our diapers second hand or from seconds and clearance sales to help with cost.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!! First time expectant mom here! Our plan is very similar to yours, cloth diaper when we can and just not feel bad when we can’t.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I don’t have any little ones yet, but I’ve definitely noticed the trend of cloth diapering and it’s something I’d consider trying. :)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I don’t have babies yet but I hope to convince my husband to cloth diaper when we do!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

No kiddos yet but hopefully in the future! :)

06.June.2013

PeeYew! Been there, done that. Glad to be done, but it is a sweet time!

06.June.2013

Peeyew!!!! I love love cloth diapering my little one!

PEEYEW! Fur babies only right now.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I would say that cloth diapering is not as difficult as it may sound. But do purchase enough that you don’t have to do laundry every day! :)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! No babies, but a wet bag would be nice for the beach.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I know a lot of people who cloth diaper, my sister included, and really they say it’s a pain in the butt. My mom always rolls her eyes at my sister and anyone who says they want to cloth diaper, which I want to do for finanical and environmental reasons. So when she rolls her eyes at me I’ll show her this post, because my sister didn’t use the same brand so perhaps this is easier, hence the upfront cost. If this was any other blogger I would say they’re making it up how fantastically easy it is, but I trust you’re opinion, so you’ve gone and convinced me. Thanks for the honesty, and the sprayer sounds genious.

06.June.2013

Peeyew!!! I cloth diaper at home only about 75% of the time but we still love it.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW another great thing when spraying diapers is a SprayPal… similar to the bucket idea but better (in my opion) because it can be used to squeeze the excees water out without touching the soiled diaper and the sparypal folds up really small and you don’t have to hold the diaper so low into the toilet. Bonus it was invented by a husband and wife who are selling it themseleves. http://www.spray-pal.com/ I don’t work for them but I think it’s a neat product.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I’m cd’ing my second (3 months) full time while working outside the home! I love it. They’re adorable and save me a ton of money. Buying used is a great way to go, too!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW…
I love BumGenius. I bought the sized ones with my first (don’t think they offer them anymore) and now my second is in them. Love that I am essentially diapering for free now.
My best advice is to not be crazy about the cloth diapers. I use a combo of cloth and disposables… I don’t make anyone else cloth diaper- babysitters, nursery workers, etc. If we are traveling, I use disposables because I don’t want to have to worry about transporting all the dirty diapers or using someone else’s washing machine.
Also, get in a routine for when to wash them. I usually wash at night after the kids are in bed since it takes a couple of cycles. Then I throw them in the dryer before I go to bed.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Yes, please. I drag my gym clothes to (dry) and from (wet) work each day. This would be a fantastic addition to my current method – ahem, ball everything up and wrap it in a towel. Not cool. :(

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! We love the Bumgenius 4.0. I would recommend multiple wet bags – one for diaper bag, nursery and main floor (if you have two story home).

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
Thank you for this post!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I don’t cloth diaper, but would use this for the pool!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I’m not using cloth right now, but my 3rd baby is 7 weeks old, and your post today made me start thinking about giving it a try. Thanks for the tips!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I have never cloth diapered so I have no advice to give, though I’m hoping to when we eventually have baby #3 (not even trying, that’s just in the future plans eventually), but could definitely use this for my girls swim lessons until then!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I’m pregnant with my first, and very excited to use cloth! I love the idea of saving so much money (and accidentally saving the planet at the same time is a plus!), and they’re so darn cute!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

My cloth diaper advice is to try it if you are interested. It doesn’t matter how old your baby is when you start. My third child was 18 months when I started, and he potty-trained at 24 months. I only spent the equivalent of 2 months’ of disposables when I bought a diaper stash for him, so it was still cost effective.
I was hooked, and used cloth for #4 all the way through. Still using cloth for nights for him!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! We’ve been using cloth diapers for about 18 months now and we love them (we use Bumgenius Freetime). I’ve just been using large ziplocs for wetbags on the go, but this would be much cuter!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!

No tips, as we’re currently using disposables, but if I were at home most days instead of my husband, I’d definitely be cloth diapering! (The husband HATES the idea.) But maybe for our next babies!!!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!

No kids yet…

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I did disposables but had so many problems with rashes, smells, leakage. I’d go cloth in the future. :)
Made my own baby food, and wished I did more to protect our planet and my kids.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! My daughter just had twins (first grandchildren) and she is planning on using cloth diapers. I am going to forward your post on cloth diapers to her. The wet bag would be wonderful for her!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
Baby isn’t here yet, but I’m researching cloth diapers… I registered for 3 types of one size diapers and will see how it goes.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!!
I would love the bag for the daily pool trips and gym and for the crossing fingers future baby.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I love bumgenius! I never expected to like cloth diapering so much, but I can’t imagine anything else now.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I have two boys so a wet bag is always a good idea.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! Sounds like a good investment!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! Would love to win one.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
Expecting our very first little one in September and am very excited to see more rave reviews of the BumGenius Elemental cds! Thank you for an informative post, I really like reading what other mamas’ routines are! I first learned about BumGenius from yhl’s experience and knew I wanted to cd when the time came. Would love one of these adorable wetbags, she makes super cute stuff!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I could def use this for gym clothes!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I think a sprayer (as you mentioned) is essential.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! We use hemp inserts for night and have never had a leak with our Fuzzi Bunz!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! baby is due December 10th!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I cloth diapered my first and he was a snap to potty train I believe in large part because of the cloth diapers! I’m just waiting on my cutie 8 week old to fatten up her thighs a little but so she can fit into his stash!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! Didn’t do cloth with #1, did 100% w/#2 until #3 came now we about 50/50:) We also have a cotton babies store location here in STL and they sell new and used…infact mostly what I’ve bought was used. We use the “flip” which is super easy for us especially with toddlers.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! no kids yet, but i’m thinking about cloth diapering when i do!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!! I hope I win! I love cloth diapers!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
We used cloth diapers for both kids – our 2nd is still using them and we plan on doing so until she’s potty trained. Like you, we HATE carrying around a dirty diaper so we generally use them at home and use disposables when we’re out. We did cloth for economical reasons as well. We pay for trash in our town so it helps us save money , but limiting the amount of money we spent on trash bags. YAY cloth diapers. PS – We LOVE LOVE LOVE bum genius.

PEEYEW! Has so many uses!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Can’t wait to start using cloth diapers. Having my first baby this summer!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We LOVE our Bum Genius. They are so cute and work so well, not to mention money saver! We’re waiting for an adoption match so we can use them again. I could not stand a stinky diaper pail so I’d clean it out with every diaper wash [wipe it with a bleach wipe]. And striping [diapers] often is a MUST. I’d love to have a beautiful new wet bag! Thank you for the opportunity!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW

Try Planet Wise Pail liners. Been using them for years and never had a leak. Just don’t put them in the drier as the high eat isn’t good for the PUL.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I have no tips. I was using cloth diapers on my daughter until she was getting a rash often. I’m about to give them another shot.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! I’m a huge fan of the GroVia Hybrid (AI2) system!

06.June.2013

peeyew! give cloth diapers a try is my advice – you never know how it will go until you try!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I left some thoughts on your last post, but one piece of advice I would give is to not be discouraged off of cloth if the first diaper you try doesn’t work for you. There are SO many out there and because they hold their value, it is worthwhile to try different ones til one clicks. Then sell the rest! :)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!! We use GoGreen diapers most of the time. I like them because I can add a doubler at night to prevent leaks. During the day when we can change every 2 hours or so we just use one microfiber insert and at night we use a bamboo and a microfiber and most of the time no leaks! I have to teach my husband how to wash them or rewash after he does.

06.June.2013

PEWYEW! On baby two with the same 14 bumgenius. We also added a few gro vias in. We use disposables when traveling and at night when our first was older :-)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW! Just found out I’m pregnant!

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!

My first is 4 weeks old and we have been using cloth since his umbilical cord fell off. I am using prefolds with Flip covers and have a couple BumGenius pockets, and hope to get some more soon!

I would love to have another wet bag-they are very handy!

Thanks for your post on your coth diaper routine, I found it helpful as I am new to the whole adventure:)

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!!

We cloth diapered until toilet training with our son and have no complaints. It’s a good idea before you have your child and/or buy the diapers to speak with any daycare provider you will be using about their policy. I know a lot of day care centers don’t allow it but we send our son to an in home provider and she was more than willing to use the cloth diapers.

06.June.2013

PEEYEW!
For my son, liked bumgenius elementals during the day and sbish with a wool cover at night, rarely leaked and wool is low maintenance. The bumgenius got too many holes for us to be able to save. Maybe has to do with our washing process. Still saved money though. Not sure what we will do for my 6 wk old daughter. She’s in disposables now, I’m waiting until she gets bigger just like you did. A sprayer is a must when they start eating solids.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
Love my cloth diapers, but never have enough wet bags on me! Now that baby #2 is almost here, going to need an extra.

07.June.2013

“PEEYEW!”

I can use this bag for the kids wet swimming suits and the dirty clothes.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I don’t love smelly, chlorinated bathing suits in plastic bags that leak. This would be awesome!

Peeeeeyawah!!! Cloth diapering seems great :)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
thanks for doing a great post about cloth diapers!

07.June.2013

PEEYAW!!!

Thank you for the giveaway!!!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
Enjoy your blog – thank you!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

No tips since we’re about to start cloth diapering for the first time. But I will say, this bag would be awesome since the wet bag I ended up buying turns out is way too small.

PEEYEW!

Not a mom yet, but my mom used cloth on me in 1980 & my girlfriends use them – especially G Diapers.

Thanks for the chance to win!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We cloth diapered both of ours, but are now over on disposables for the last few months before the youngest is hopefully potty trained. Hubby said he’d do that than buy new cloth diapers. So, win-win for me ;)

I’d say my biggest advice is to buy neutral coloured diapers if you plan on having more kids and reusing the diapers. And of course, if having a boy in “girl” colours bothers you. Our daughter wore “boy” coloured diapers, as I did not want to buy new diapers because they were the “wrong” colour.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

My advice would be not to be afraid of them and that yes, it can be gross and germy, but un-cooked Chicken is just as germy and gross, so all in perspective!

I loved that I was able to re-sell my diapers after #2 was potty trained. Another plus: no up-the-back blowouts with cloth diapers (thanks to the elastic!)

I disposable diapered my first (we lived in an apt without w/d). I bumgenius-ed my 2nd (with disposable on occasion). If there is a 3rd, it will be bumgenius-ed too. I love LOVE cloth diapers.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I would love to use cloth diapers when I’m a mother!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I wish I could’ve done cloth with my girls but working full-time didn’t really lend itself to it.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I thought about it, but it would be hard on the babysitter to do since I work fulltime. Wish I could though.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!! I’m past diapering stage and did not use cloth. However, I would love to have the bag for my kids’ swimsuits or my gym clothes.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! And I respect all you cloth diaper folks. I can’t get into it. But would love this to hold wet swimsuits. We live at the pool all summer long!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We use disposables, but I didn’t realize how uncomplicated cloth diapers are…may need to give them a go!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I would love to win this. My best friend is currently pregnant with twins and this would be a fabulous shower gift.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! With my first two daughters I used disposables – cloth had only just begun to become “popular” and easier to use and with my daughters going to daycare it was just easier to not mess with it. I have since started staying at home full time and my third daughter is 9 months old and we just found out we are expecting our 4th baby (SURPRISE…not a bad one, but a surprise none the less.) I am considering switching to cloth as my diapering days are further from over than I had anticipated =). Thanks for your post – got the ball rolling for me!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We have been cloth diapering our son for 15 months, and so far, it’s been great! Thanks for sharing this post.

PEEYEW! I’m always in need of another wet bag. It seems I can never find a clean one when I’m ready to walk out the door for the day!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I would love this for my beach bag!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
We used cloth for our first two and will again for our nice little surprise third. I had the organic AIO from bum genius with the snaps and unfortunately, they had a two-child limit. I’ll be doing more refolds with this little one.
Also – we had issues with our sprayer. Just make sure that it doesn’t leak. It ended up costing a pretty penny to our insurance company. when ours leaked because it wasn’t shut off and turned our laminate outside the bathroom into a roller coaster ride. Next time around, I’ll have to convince my husband to even use one and we’ll need the best one we can afford.

PEEYEW!
Thanks for the chance to win!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

If I’m ever lucky enough to stay at home with my little, I think I’d be interested in researching cloth diapering a little more! I can see how a wet bag would be handy in so many situations!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I’m nearly 5 months along with my first, so your recent post re: cloth diapering was extremely helpful. We’d like to do a combo of cloth and disposable, depending on where we land on the child care debate. This bag is so stylish and handy.

07.June.2013

Peeyew!
I’m pregnant with our first, due September, and plan to cloth diaper. Everyone keeps telling me I’m crazy. It’s so nice to hear from so many people who say it’s not much harder than disposables. I was pretty convinced I wanted to use Fuzzi Bunz, but perhaps I’ll try half BG for comparison.

Thanks!

07.June.2013

Peeyaw! My daughter recently turned one and my goodness she can make a mess! This would be so handy. I really wanted to do cloth diapers, but the daycare wouldn’t allow it. I use eco-friendly (i.e. less chemicals!) diapers instead.

07.June.2013

Peeyaw!

I have no advice – I didn’t use the cloth diapers. Today, if I had a baby I would try them.

But thank you for the reminder…I no longer have to buy diapers!!! Reason for cake!!!:)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I cloth diaper in a fashion remarkably similar to you…same diapers, also use disposables at night and (sometimes) when out and about. The two tips I have are as follows: I cut up old tee-shirts and use them as diaper liners. If they just get wet they get washed and reused. If they get soiled and are easy to clean off with the diaper sprayer, they also get reused. If they are awful, I bag them and toss them and thank goodness that I don’t have to clean the mess out of the actual diaper. The second tip is to forgo the diaper pail and just use wet bags. We have 4 and use them in rotation. Our little one goes to daycare (and they were willing to use cloth as well) so we send a bag with her each day and have one going at home. So much easier and less smelly than a pail.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
Great post – I’ve been thinking a lot about cloth as well, and after reading you and YHL posts on cloth diapers, as well as one of my friends (who’s doctor recommended she switch to cloth after her daughter was getting serious diaper rashes – you’re not alone!), that’s definitely the way DH and I are going!

07.June.2013

Peeyew!

Thankfully, I’m off the baby train, and didn’t use cloth diapers, so I have no advice to offer. I could use a wet bag though because my kids are still a mess sometimes even at ages 11 and 14.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! We’re due with our first in October, and I’ve had one of these wet bags on my Etsy wish list since you first mentioned them! Thank you!

07.June.2013

“PEEYEW!”

#2 arriving in ~10 weeks … and more wet bags are always a plus! Cloth diapering again, and I’m hoping to try the rice paper liners this time. Also, diaper sprayer = best invention of life.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! My sister-in-law is getting ready to have her first baby and would love this!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I use fuzzibunz and put an extra insert in most of the time since my boys are heavy wetters. Then they hardly ever leak!

07.June.2013

PEEEYEW! My tip is to make sure you buy enough diapers to get you through those unexpected days.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! My niece cloth diapers and is due with baby number 2 any day! This would make the perfect gift for her.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I haven’t been brave enough to venture into cloth diaper territory yet, but with 3 little boys, a wet bag is still a handy thing to have.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Have a baby on the way and trying to convince my husband to use cloth diapers!

07.June.2013

Peeyew!

I have an 8 week old and we’re switching him to cloth diapers!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Never used closed diapers, but may reconsider for the future =)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Baby #1 is due in September, and my plan is to use cloth diapers. This wet bag would really come in handy!

07.June.2013

PeeYew
I’ve been looking for a place to stash my children’s wet swimsuits and this would be perfect!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Expecting our first!!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Almost done with diapers, but with potty training starting soon, a wet bag would be very handy!

07.June.2013

Peeyew! Little man is in disposables right now but I’d love to start cloth diapering.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW a wet bag comes in handy for shower presents for new moms going to use cloth diapers :)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I’ve been cloth diapering my 10-month old since he was about a week old, and I absolutely love it! We use prefolds with Flip covers. They’re one of the least expensive options, and after using them and hearing about other types of diapers from friends I think they’re one of the easiest too. At night I use a wool cover and lots of stuffing, and I never have to worry about leaks.

07.June.2013

“PEEYEW!”
I’d be winning this for my best friend. I think cloth diapers are an awesome way to go green.
In Finland, they include an “all-in-one cloth nappy set” in their government issued Maternity Package (sometimes called “the Bounty Box”) http://www.kela.fi/web/en/maternitypackage.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! No experience yet, but thank you to everyone for sharing their tips.

07.June.2013

“PEEYEW!” 5 month old babies make lots of messes that would be best contained in a wet bag for sure!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! This would be great for wet swimsuits from the lake.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I just had my little girl and we are going to try cloth diapering once she gets a little older so a wetbag would be handy!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
We’re going to try the cloth diaper world later this summer when our first arrives!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I’m due in October & trying to figure out all this first time mom stuff!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW
No kids yet, but we’re trying to adopt, so one of these may (hopefully!) come in handy soon.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I have no little ones yet, but have been researching cloth diapers for like a year already. There are SO many options.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I am currently pregnant with #4 and we had not considered cloth diapering before now. I only wish it had been more popular, or had been something I knew about when #1 was born. We could have saved SO much money. So, unfortunately, I don’t have any advice to share from experience yet!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I am going to try cloth part time and see how it goes.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I am 35 weeks, so we are very close to the end! I’ve got a full set of Sprout diapers ready, but no diaper bag! Uh oh!

07.June.2013

Peeyew! We’ve used cloth with both kids (2 and 6mo) and I love them! My best tip is to not put the covers in the dryer they last a lot longer that way.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Mama of THREE boys then finally my Princess Jewyll…also a SAHM we knew if we wanted another baby we’d need to tweak the budget so cloth diapering it was! It’s been 17 months and I haven’t looked back :) we use Rump A Rooz and L <3 V E them just wish I woulda used them with all my boys too…who knows maybe someday there will be a surprise baby #5 is my hubby's doesn't give himself a vasectomy first HA :p

07.June.2013

Peeyew!!!! Just bought a bunch of diapers because of your post!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! We love our BumGenius 4.0 cloth diapers. Purex free and clear detergent is inexpensive and safe for cloth diapers. Also we strip our diapers about 1x a month by running a cycle with 1 tsp of Dawn dish detergent, then we run the diapers through two additional cycles with just hot water. This helps keep the diapers absorbent.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I’ve read a lot about cloth diapering for a couple of years now, getting prepared for when the time comes. I would absolutely love one of these wet bags for our future baby.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I’m due in October with my first and we definitely want to cloth diaper. Just trying to figure out all the logistics!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I just ordered a dozen cloth diapers yesterday based on your previous post! It gave me the confidence boost I needed that I could cloth diaper and it wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

My husband and I are having our first baby in August and are planning to use cloth diapers. Thanks for the giveaway!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I’m trying to conceive right now, but I’ve always known I want to cloth diaper. There’s a lot to think about with cloth diapers though!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
No kids planned for my future so I don’t have any tips for cloth-diapering. However, I use fabric handkerchiefs instead of tissues. That’s close, right? :)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I really need to get in the rhythm of using the diapers. I have 5 cloth diapers and will be getting more. I feel guilty running a load of laundry with just 5 diapers. Working 3 days a week makes scheduling when to wash them a little difficult.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!!

A lot of my friends in bigger areas have diaper services, lucky duckys! I did not do cloth diapers this time, but I think I might with the next. Is it frustrating carrying stinky diapers around or are the wet bags good at bidding odor?

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Don’t forget to strip (deep clean) your diapers about every 6 months. My oldest one didn’t have a problem if we forgot, but my youngest one gets very sensitive to the ammonia build-up in the fibers that don’t come out with normal washings. You have to wash them with Dawn dishwashing soap and then rinse ad nauseum until the suds are all gone. But it helps his little bum and wee-wee stay happy!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Never did cloth diapering because I thought, as a working mom with the kids in daycare, that it wouldn’t be doable. I didn’t want to get home from a long day and be washing soiled diapers all night.

But then I met a coworker who DID do cloth diapers. She sent them to a cleaning service that specialized in them! Pick up and delivery too! And it still came out cheaper than disposables!

Now I wish I had gone for it.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

No kids just yet but this would be great for sweaty gym clothes!

07.June.2013

peeyew! I am expecting with my first and want to cloth diaper:). Thank you for your insights! They are so helpful. And a good/cute wet bag would be so lovely!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I love cloth diapering! I was a little hestitant at first because both my husband and I work full time, and I just didn’t want to add “one more thing” to the stresses of working and caring for my daughter. My husband really wanted to, so I want with it….. I have to say that it has been wonderful! It’s a little work in the beginning because you’re not used to it and the baby goes to the bathroom so often, but now that our daughter is 1yr, it is the easiest thing ever! I don’t have much to compare though since this is our first child and we never went the disposable route. I just love not spending my hard earned money on plastic diapers that will end up in landfills…. not to mention having to buy them ALL THE TIME.
I agree that its not for everyone, and I am all for doing what works best for you! We started using disposables for nightime around 6 months because she was such a heavy wetter.
I agree that 24 is a perfect number. We started with 12, went to 18, and then up to 24. We use BumGenis Organic all in ones, and the Rump-a-rooz G2 with inserts. Both have snaps, no velcro. I love the BG, but also like the inserts so I have the option of adding inserts for overnight (which worked until about 6 months and then we strated using disposible as mentioned above).
All-in-all….. Best decision ever! AND money well spent!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Not a mom (yet), so no advice here!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! This would be great to have for the beach!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Love BumGenius. Also really like the in-house brand at Babies R Us.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! First time expectant mother (due in September). My hubby and I are planning to cloth diaper. I appreciate our post, tips and give away!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! This would be sweet. I have a 2 year old and another due in 2 months. We didn’t cloth diaper with my first, I thought it was going to be too overwhelming (I went to cloth diaper classes, did research, just never pulled the trigger). I’m doing it with #2! I have no good reason not too.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!! This would help with stinky workout clothes. :)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!
We’re a disposable family

07.June.2013

Peeyew!
This is awesome! Great info on cloth diapering!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!! I use disposables, but can think of a bunch of uses for this wet bag!

07.June.2013

Peeyew!
No babies for me yet- but my sister would LOVE this! :)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!!
wasn’t brave enough for cloth diapering, but this would make a GREAT swim bag! I just wrote a post on the exhaustion of baby swim class ;)

07.June.2013

Peeyew! I would love to use this for wet swim suits after baby swim class. Thanks!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
The diaper sprayer is AMAZING! We used diaper liners the first time around which were convenient but hands down the diaper sprayer is better. We also use disposable at night.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!”

No babies for me yet, but hopefully soon :)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

No babies but I do a pretty good job of generating wet and smelly swimsuits and other workout clothes on my own :)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We are expecting our first in November and I’m trying to get hubby on board with cloth diapering. The wet bag would be a great start!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I’m not prego yet but hope to be soon – and I have a long way to go to convince hubby that cloth diapering will not be disgusting and time consuming.

07.June.2013

PEEWYEW! I have a friend due with her first bebe next month – I bet she’d love this!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! I am an avid cloth diaper user (BG 4.0s) and would love a new wet bag. I bleach my cloth diapers once a month, which I’ve found keeps the stinkiness to a minimum. Thanks!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!
We too love the Bum Genius Elemental diapers. Our daughter is 18 months and we have had her in them since 6 weeks. We too use disposables for overnight trips. We have the sprayer on the toilet and find them easy to use. Washing them about every 2-3 days has just become a part of our routine, So much easier than expected and I am loving all the money we are saving. We put the word out and got most of our diapers as shower gifts – even more cost effective ;)

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! My tip is to rinse the soiled diapers out and keep them wet in a wet bag or bin, especially if you’re not doing laundry every day. That way they don’t get stinky and the stains don’t have a chance to set in.

07.June.2013

Peeyew!!

Cool post! I love cloth menstrual pads for myself too! Hello, non toxic products near the privates!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!! I have an 11 month old that I planned on cloth diapering, but then I started wtih disposables, and never ended up transitioning. So my tip – don’t start with disposables, or it’ll be so hard to change over to cloth……

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Haven’t tried cloth diapers yet.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We’re currently TTC and I know that I want to use cloth diapers.

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! We are expecting baby #3 in November!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Adorable wet beg!

07.June.2013

PEEYEW! Planning on cloth diapering here:)

08.June.2013

PEEYEW!!! I did cloth with my second son but have been dragging my feet with our new baby twins. A cute new wet bag might get me going again!

08.June.2013

PEEYEW! I currently cloth diapering my son, and I love it. I’m so glad we’ve had flexible and understanding daycare providers.

08.June.2013

Peeyew!
I thought of cding and once we found out it was twins my husband shot it down :(
I will maybe give it a go if we have more kiddos. Time will tell.

08.June.2013

Peeyew! I am currently pregnant with our first child and we are planning on cloth diapering. This would be a great addition to the baby stockpile that is just beginning.

Thanks!

08.June.2013

PEEYEW!!!
I wasn’t brave enough to try cloth diapering, but this would make an excellent swim bag. I currently use a grocery bag for wet suits.

08.June.2013

Peeyew! Expecting any day noe and a wet bag is still on my list!

08.June.2013

PEEYEW! Perfection in a bag!

08.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Trying for #4. Cloth diapers would be our first time using them!

08.June.2013

PEEYEW. I didn’t cloth diaper with my two little ones, but if given the chance, I think I would now.

08.June.2013

PEEYEW! I am pregnant with my first so I am sure this would come in handy. Thanks for the chance to win!

08.June.2013

PEEYEW!! Cloth diaper lovin’ momma here!

08.June.2013

Peeyew!

No bums to cover yet, but super excited about not getting everything in my gym bag wet after going swimming.

08.June.2013

Peeyew!

I tried cloth diapers back in the 80’s BUT it only lasted for about two weeks. No one wanted to babysit for a baby in cloth diapers and I felt uncomfortable being judged as the “green” girl. I babysat a little girl last month who used them… WOW! So much easier than using pins!!!

08.June.2013

Peeyew!

I love cloth diapers! I need a new wet bag!

08.June.2013

PeeYew! Expecting our third baby in October and want to go the cloth route. Would love to win this wet bag!

08.June.2013

PEEYEW!

I am almost 6 months pregnant (23 weeks today!), and my husband is in charge of gathering the cloth diaper set. A wetbag would be exactly what we need. :-)

08.June.2013

PEEYEW! Never tried cloth but have always wanted to try cloth!

08.June.2013

PEEYEW!

A little wet bag like the one in the bag above is great to have in your diaper bag at all times, even if using disposables when out and about – the perfect place to put clothes after a blow out!

08.June.2013

Peeyew!
Love that cloth diapering is more Eco friendly. Perhaps a mix of disposable and cloth makes it seem less scary???

08.June.2013

PEEYEW! Not sure how this is possible but I have never changed a diaper in my life! You moms are amazing!

09.June.2013

Peeyaw!

We are expecting twins next month and I am going to use cloth diapers with them, fingers crossed that I can make it work!!!!

09.June.2013

PEEYEW!
I am expecting my third this fall and I used cloth swimmers on my last one, I’m considering going full cloth for this one. So I am doing a lot of research now….

09.June.2013

peeyew!

I don’t have any experience with cloth diapers..but I do have lots of sweaty gym clothes!

09.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We purchased a brand new washer and dryer right after the birth of our first son. We now have two boys, 1 and 3, who have worn cloth diapers. Best investment ever!! The sun has also been the biggest help with stains.

09.June.2013

PEEYEW!
Hopefully, my 26 yr old baby will use cloth diapers when she’s a mom.

09.June.2013

PEEYEW!! I grew up using cloth diapers on my younger siblings but haven’t used them on my own children yet. I can easily see they have changed a lot since those days!

09.June.2013

PEEYEW! Never cloth diapered before, but considering it for my third due in Sept.

09.June.2013

PEEYEW!!

No advice on cloth diapering. I used disposable. :blush: I would totally use the bag for wet swimsuits! We live in FL so they are always being used.

09.June.2013

Peeyew! We are getting ready to start cloth diapering soon! Love that bag :)

09.June.2013

PEEYEW! Would be great for the kiddos!!!

09.June.2013

Peeyew! I recommend doing a trial. Companies like Jillian’s Drawers will rent you diapers to try for a month, you return what you don’t like, and it only costs $10 if you return all the diapers! It’s a fairly inexpensive way to try CDing without the financial commitment

09.June.2013

PEEYEW!
We have 4 kids and I used Fuzzi Bunz and Bum genius organic AIO. The bum genius would take longer to dry but they were my fav. Our oldest Daughter broke out in rashes from commercial diapers.

09.June.2013

PeeYew!! I love bum genius organics, too! I also got a few of the ones that you have to put inserts in, and I don’t like them nearly as well. I save those for when I run out of the others! Wet bags are so handy and make cloth diapering much more convenient. These ones are so cute!!

09.June.2013

PEEYEW!
We love cloth diapers. Used the same set on all three kids. We used vinegar in the wash and dried them in the sun to get the stains out.

09.June.2013

PEEYEW! I have cloth diapered 3 kids and my tip/comment is that more air flow on used dipes=less smell. Seems counterintuitive, I know, but I find that a wide open pail with a pail liner but no lid works better than the plastic baggie system you described in your prior post. If I need to transport from toilet (after spraying off poop) to pail, we keep a tiny trash can next to the toilet for that purpose. I just rinse it out every once in a while. Works great. I’d ditch the baggies, but maybe I just misunderstood how you’re using them. Great posts- spread the cloth love!

09.June.2013

PEEYEW!! grandbaby #4 due in november and this woud be very useful to have since the DDIL is going cloth diaper route this time. thanks for all the comments/input written here for this nana-to-be.

09.June.2013

Peeyew!! My daughter is ornery and I always bring a change of clothes – thus the need for the bag to carry the messy ones in!

10.June.2013

PEEYEW! I’ve cloth diapered 2 little ones and have been so happy with it! I love cute wet bags and think it’s important to always have some on hand. I’m sure to “strip” my diapers about once a month by soaking in very hot water and vinegar overnight to get out any soap residue. Thanks for having this giveaway!

10.June.2013

PEEYEW! We love cloth diapering! My husband loves the Bum Genius pockets and I’ve grown to love the Gro-Via all-in-ones. Our little one is quite petite so these seem to be more proportional to her tiny frame. We try to dry our diapers outdoors when it’s sunny and warm, but my husband also found a drying rack at Ikea that could be mounted in our laundry room so we can hang dry (or at least partially hang dry and then throw in the dryer) our diapers. It definitely helps save on energy bills!

10.June.2013

PEEYEW

Never cloth diapered but I use wet bags for wet bathing suits!

10.June.2013

PEEYEW!

Love your blog!

10.June.2013

PEEYEW!
We used a few fuzzybunz and a dozen cloth diaper wholesale diapers. I liked the versitility of pocket diapers – definitely add more absorbant fillers when they get bigger because their bladders grow like the rest of them!

10.June.2013

PEEYEW!

We’re also dilettante cloth diaperers. I used them for the most part for my first DD starting from 9 months (but quitting during pregnancy because I just couldn’t deal) and now again with my second DD from birth through now at 21 months. We use disposables at night and sometimes while out, but I love that my diapering expenses run less than $10/month. My biggest advice? Check Craigslist or other resale venues, as diapers may easily be bought for less than $10 or even $5 each.

10.June.2013

PEEYEW! This would come in very handy when baby girl arrives in about 2 weeks!!
