It seems that this question has a rotating answer. It’s almost seasonal.
Winter: fitteds and wool. Spring: pockets. Summer: all-in-ones. Fall: prefolds and wool. Those are just an example but it may be more true than I thought.
Right now it’s most important for me to have simplicity. That can mean many types for me but making [...]

I have received quite a few questions on the different prefold sizes available. My previous posts on prefolds were done before all the changes that have occured in 2009 as a result of the testing required on all products for children.
Green Mountain Diapers is my go-to place to buy prefold cloth diapers. Instead of attempting [...]

UGH! I knew it would happen. On Friday I packed a suitcase for my family of 6 to go stay overnight at my mother-in-law’s house for a family reunion on Saturday. I changed Sterling’s diaper and tossed it in the pail. Normally, I quickly walk away but this time I had a lingering thought…

There are a couple of features of Weehuggers that appeal to me: bamboo PUL (I didn’t even know that existed!), strong touch tape in the shape of cute hands, natural, earthy look, gussets and extreme [...]

This is probably the most requested review I receive. After I wrote the Apple Cheeks review I was flooded with questions about the comparison of the two.
Well, here it is!
This review came about because of the generosity of Vicky of Ottawa Cloth Diapers. I don’t know what is in the water up there in Canada [...]

When we chose to cloth diaper it automatically made us smarter-than-the-average-bear. Why then are there times when I rip open a package of fluffy mail and I sit there looking very confused?
Is it just me? Am I the only one who occasionally spends way too much time trying to figure out how a diaper works?
Well, [...]

You know what I love about cloth diapering? I’m never bored. And I never have to worry about money burning a hole in my pocket!
Despite my complete satisfaction in using Kirkland’s Environmentally friendly detergent, I always have this guilt for not using something from a WAHM.
There is something so special about supporting a family, not [...]

There are very few WAHMs that crank out the number of successful products as Erin of Sustainablebabyish.
Each of her bamboo and wool cloth diaper items performs at the highest level and is made with the highest quality materials.
This year Erin partnered with Trees for the Future to offset the carbon generated in the production and [...]

I want to thank my new friend Jen Varty for writing such a wonderfully informative blog post on G Diapers. I couldn’t have written it better myself!
G stands for Great Diaper
Genius, grow, grassroots, green, gentle, and genuine are some of the “G” words imprinted on the inside of a gDiaper. Some of you may use [...]

BLOWOUTS!!
Yes, disposable diapers contain disgusting gel crystals.
Yes, disposable diapers are horrible for the environment.
Yes, disposable diapers are a waste of your hard-earned money.
But, honestly blowouts are THE most annoying aspect of disposable diapers.
We just returned from a week long vacation at the beach – hence the long break in blog posts. I opted to take [...]
