Cloth diapering is something I always wanted to do but never got around to it with my daughter. When Matthew was four months old his Aunt Tosha started looking into cloth diapers. She asked to try them on Matthew which sparked my interest. We started out with cheapies.
This ^ is one of the cheapies. We had a few different brands (green baby, babyland, babycity) but they were all the same. The fit was not the best and the pads weren't the best. But they did work okay for short period of time for our son. And I triple stuffed them for my daughter (3) to sleep in. They actually worked. But not even two months of use and they all delaminated. So I would say not to waste your money on these.
This^ is the Charlie Banana. These are not cheap lol. I tried them out as a recommendation from a friend. I do like them but they don't hold as well as others for us. I think for these it does really depend on the size and shape of your baby. I would recommend trying these to see how they do with your baby.
This is the Sunbaby^ these do well and hold well. But for the price I would rather order my favorite:) I would also recommend trying these.
This ^ is a Gigglelife. I do really like this one, especially for night because it has the longest pad I've seen. However, my favorite brand makes one that looks just like this and it's quite a bit cheaper.
This ^ is another Gigglelife. It is a
Minky/bamboo one. I would not recommend these. For starters both of my kids had skin reactions to it. Secondly their bamboo inserts that came with it are by far the worst inserts I have.
This ^ is a Royal Fluff. I got it off zulily for $10. Regularly they are much more expensive. I really like this one, but again, my favorite brand make one similar. One thing I don't like about this one is that it doesn't have a cross over snap. My son was already old enough that I didn't need it for size. But, I use them when the diaper is soiled to roll up and snap together til it makes its way to the diaper pail. I do like them and would order more if they come to zulily again or if I find them on sale.
This^ is my favorite brand! This is the Alva! I'm very impressed with especially for the price. I had 5, one delaminated, that were previously owned. I have two more on the way. I *think* I will like the C series the best(they look similar to the royal fluff but have double inner gussets) I highly recommend these. And even if one delaminates they're cheap and easily replaceable!
These are all the diapers I started with. The white one on the very left is a bum genius 4.0. I do like it but I would not recommend Velcro. Ever. To anyone. It gets to the point where it doesn't do what it's suppose to and to me that's just aggravating! I prefer snaps! On the top right is a bumkins. I hate that would and would never recommend it!
This is the rumparooz^ I do really like this one (minus the Velcro). However Alva makes one very similar (double gussets and all) so I'm waitin on that one to try now. I would also recommend trying this one:)
So after trying all these I'm goin to be building my stash out of mostly Alvas. I may throw some Rumparooz and Bumgenius 4.0 in there too :) this is what works for my son, your baby might be different. All you can do is try!
Oh! I also have an econobum on the way, which is like a shell withprefolds. So we will see what I think of those:)
