All About Cloth Diapers

I don’t take the things I find simple for granted anymore. The enormous amount of emails I get tells me that there are no black and white topics when it comes to cloth diapering. One specific question that has come up lately is whether it is good for your diapers to dry in the dryer. [...]

Making the decision to cloth diaper is a huge accomplishment.  What seems like an obvious choice for every family often goes undiscovered by the majority of the population.  Ask most young adults any question about cloth diapers and the only response you’ll get is perhaps one that includes “rubber pants, pins, and a square cloth.”  [...]

I was there yesterday.  Three kids and myself all had the stomach virus.  The little one inside me was not happy about this.  Diarrhea in a cloth diaper is the ONE time when I think, “man, I wish I could throw this in the trash.” But, despite the vomit, the poop, the horrible stinch, the [...]

Let’s face it, everyone wants a good deal.  But, sometimes “too good to be true” is well “too good to be true.”  I’ve been duped twice in my 3 years of cloth diapering and it is horrible!  It took me weeks to get over that someone wanted to steal from me.  Of course there are [...]

I ran across this great video (at the end of the post) by AppleCheeks diapers a Canadian made pocket diaper.  The diaper design [...]

Most of the time the saying, “You get what you pay for,” is very true in a bad way.  However, Nana’s Bottoms cloth diapers strive to create quality, high performance, budget friendly cloth diapers for your baby.  It is not uncommon for me to see moms who normally purchase high-end hyena cart cloth diapers with [...]

I would not really call myself a prefold user, yet I seem to be constantly mesmerized by the prefold comparison picture on Green Mountain Diapers. I stare at it and ponder over which size I should buy…again I’m not a prefold user! I love the choices and colors and quilty fluffiness. But this Labor Day [...]

When there’s a hole, tear, missing button, or item that needs hemming I’m on it. The simple sewing tasks don’t intimidate me however, making a cloth diaper seems out of my league.
