The world of cloth diapers is getting huge, so many choices. Gerber makes horrible diapers, must have the diaper service quality ones. My favorite covers are Thirties, they are thinner than the Bummis and work great. I also like the Bum Genius diapers, but Fuzzi Bunz are nice too. Fitted diapers are great for containing messy poo. There are even diapers made out of hemp and bamboo (more absorbant than cotton). Tonight my daughter is wearing a chinese prefold with a hemp/fleece doubler inside a Thirsties cover. This will last all night.

When I started cd's 3 kids ago, I did a lot of research online. One mom suggested just throwing diapers in the wash with poop on them. Eww! So I stubbornly attempted swishing it around in the toilet. Maybe I did it wrong, but it didn't seem to do anything. So I started throwing diapers in the wash as is. And they always came clean and didn't hurt the washer. Since then, I've discovered disposable(flushable) liners. You line the diaper with them, and flush both the liner and the poop! I like the kushies brand, but there are several available. Good luck!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029395107424178073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216887236100675311.post-81701304418832672182008-10-01T11:41:00.000-05:002008-10-01T11:41:00.000-05:00Another great suggestion is wool covers which you ...Another great suggestion is wool covers which you can even make yourself. Wool is nicer than PUL as it breathes, but can adsorb up to 30% of its weight in liquid. Diaper underneath can be totally soaked while outside remains dry (maybe damp if a LONG time btwn changings) and babys behind remains cool. It airs out to fresh between uses, and only has to be washed every few months (unless poo on the cover). Give it a try. Great nightime workhorse. Aristocrats, Lana, and Little Beetle (betterforbabies.com) are my favorites.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306789709773545437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216887236100675311.post-2962285338745014552008-09-30T15:06:00.000-05:002008-09-30T15:06:00.000-05:00PUL can only be purchased online, most likely they...PUL can only be purchased online, most likely they'll look at you like you have three heads if you ask for it in the fabric store. Lots of places sell it online, a favorite is diapershops.com. I usually make my own, but just bought one from here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5777510 because she had some cute prints, and i'm glad I did, it's really well made.Deann Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889389777285889169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216887236100675311.post-44686731070595010702008-09-30T12:21:00.000-05:002008-09-30T12:21:00.000-05:00Thanks for all the tips everyone!

(the "diaper duck") But, I'd love to replace them with something reuseable. I'd love to make my own...where do you find the PUL? If I ask for that in a fabric store, will they look at me funny or is that a common thing?

It can be washed, along with diapers, and I have a few in my rotation so there is always one available. You can find these at various cloth diapering outlets, but I just make my own, with PUL (the same material used to make diaper covers) lining and cute fabric on the outside.

I'm tuning in late here.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I have a 2.5 year old and a 4 month old in cloth. The 4 month old is easy. The 2.5 year old is where it gets complicated. At home or out, I just shake off all the solids I can. What doesn't come off goes in the diaper pail or wetbag. I don't deal with poo any more than I have to. <BR/><BR/>So far, so good. No stains, no stink that can't be eliminated. If it sits for more than 3 days I'll soak a load before I wash it.girlfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480126228032447962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1216887236100675311.post-86317114459268870872008-08-13T11:36:00.000-05:002008-08-13T11:36:00.000-05:00Thanks you so much for you diapering series, it ha...Thanks you so much for you diapering series, it has been so helpful.
