I am dying to stock up with snaps in the new colors. It's just hard to justify when I already have so many diapers! Maybe number two will come along soon and I'll have an excuse!Daniellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359873896525849937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809638405839026908.post-85810739696954225922009-08-07T05:42:47.261-07:002009-08-07T05:42:47.261-07:00The BG Organic AIOs come in snaps so you can avoid...The BG Organic AIOs come in snaps so you can avoid dealing with the velcro issue and it's wear. They are actually discontinuing the velcro version and you can get them on sale at most places for $19.99 instead of $25. <br /><br />BG also warranties their diaper, including their velcro for a year and their customer service is great! But the easiest way to avoid that is to just get the diaper in the snap version.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11616825819076716467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809638405839026908.post-6452190286457356162009-08-06T13:44:11.382-07:002009-08-06T13:44:11.382-07:00I love the Thirsties covers.

Thirsties have these adorable leg gussets to make for a really snug fit. And the hook and loop closure is very durable. I bought the XS size and am still using them on my chunky 18lb baby.Rachael Petru Horowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425839195717252192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809638405839026908.post-88363266417486811602009-08-02T21:52:57.036-07:002009-08-02T21:52:57.036-07:00Rachel and Josh - a sample cloth diaper package is...Rachel and Josh - a sample cloth diaper package is a great option for people who want to give cloth a try! Thanks for sharing! I am curious, when you used prefolds what type of cover did you use? <br /><br />James, Andrea, and Clara Smith - What is it that you aren't crazy about in regards to the organic BG performance? I agree with what Jackie mentioned in the post, they definitely grow more an more absorbent. How many washes did you do to prep them? Also, if you are having leaks it may be possible that you need to adjust the rise settings that you have it on. If you are interested in trying the GroBaby but don't want to invest a lot upfront I would suggest starting simple. I would buy one shell which will come with one soaker pad and one booster and another set of soaker pads. This will basically get you through 3 diaper changes if you don't have any leakage onto the shell. I have found that I rarely have urine or poop leak out onto the shell. Keep in mind that the resale value on most cloth diapers is great. SO, if you try them and find they aren't the cloth diaper to meet your needs you will most likely be able to sell it and recoup some of the cost. I'm so glad you're giving cloth a try! The first few weeks are a learning period but you and your diapers will soon find your groove! <br /><br />- Daniella, Gaga GreeniesDaniellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359873896525849937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809638405839026908.post-89083432678630321742009-08-02T20:45:17.601-07:002009-08-02T20:45:17.601-07:00I'm glad to hear that you like the GroBaby dia...I'm glad to hear that you like the GroBaby diapers so much. I have tried the Organic BG and am not entirely thrilled with it's performance, yet. However, maybe it will grow more absorbant over time. I'll keep using it! I'd love to try a GroBaby diaper, but there aren't many used ones and the cost new seems prohibitive. Maybe I'll jump in and try it anyway! I'm using prefolds and covers; I started 2 weeks ago with the whole CD experience. They are working great for us, but I'd love to have a few more "easy to use" diapers for baby sitters and on the road.

I'm 100% on board with it...and I LOVE the BumGenius all in one,one size diapers. I've had my daughter in them since she was 3 months old (did prefold diapers before, and those were also great). <br /><br />For those interested in experimenting with cloth diapers, I'd love to recommend checking out a sample set from www.nomorebummers.com. Bethany will rent you a set of diapers for a fixed price...when you return the rental diapers, you will get store credit in the amount of the cost of the rental so that you can purchase diapers (or anything else sold on her site). It's a great way to explore the world of CD.<br /><br />ENJOY!Rachael Petru Horowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425839195717252192noreply@blogger.com
