Have I wrecked my diapers and given my LO a rash?
Thanks mrsgintoft. Do front loaders have lint traps? I thought those were only in top loaders? So the washing machine cleaner can just be bought at a grocery store or like a Walmart? I've heard you shouldn't use dawn on front loaders as…

Decided to order Rockin Green
bump Autumn, is country save likely to give me issues with soft water? What issues did you have? We have a front loader and soft water. I just use the 1/2 scoop for two days worth of diapers (roughly 6-7 covers and 12-14 inserts).

Hey Autumn - I have soft water and a front loader. I just bought Country Save so curious what issues you've had with it???

Decided to order Rockin Green
I agree with Erin ang RG. I am neutral bc it cleans my diapers but I agree that I'm not sure they get rid of the ammonia. RnG has a special product (Funk Rock) for that, which I guess is good? Incidentally, I had some questions about prepping …

Whats in your Fluffy Wish List?

Prepping your diapers
Maybe try the manufacturer's website, they usually have care instructions. If it's a rental trial, typically you just wash everything once and the company you are renting from provides the care instructions they would like you to follow…

Flip All in 2
Hi Lea, I use the flips and really like them. I have both organic cotton and stay dry. Yes, the soft side goes against the babies bum. If you look on the label it actually says, "this side down." :) I use the flushable liner with both (w…

Cloth Diapering in Washington
I count myself as an honorary member! I live in British Columbia, Canada (Victoria) but we go to Seattle and Washington about 5-6 times a year. We are going next month. I'm curious to hear about the "going-ons" with respect to cd i…

Tell me about the Organic Flip inserts.
I have both too! I (and LO) definitely prefer the SD's and go to the organics last now too. The organics are really nice and very absorbent but I find the SD's bug LO less bc he's fairly sensitive to wetness. I definitely have to u…

Diaper bags for cloth diapers
I have a petunia pickle bottom diaper bag and it is FABULOUS! It's big, has a messenger/shoulder and backpack straps, a change pad and lots of pockets for things (diapers, wipes, diaper cream, bottles, etc.). It hold my cd's as well as e…

Setting up a stash for first baby
As someone that has come out of the newborn stage recently (my LO is 3 months), I echo what Autumn says and I highly recommend the rentals/trials packages to get a sense of not only what you and DH like but what your LO likes. We started with dispo…

I'm showing cloth diaper favoritism
Another vote for Tots Bots Easy Fits! I *wish* they went on sale more often. I would probably make them 75% of my stash if I could.

What cloth diaper store has the best selection?
I did a ton of research and found Go Go Natural had pretty much everything I was looking for. So far the customer service has been excellent. For what I wanted, they had more selection than Kelly's and Diaper Junction. Plus they had an Easte…

Please introduce yourself!
Hello! I'm Penelope from Victoria, B.C., Canada. I'm a FTM to a 3 month old and he's just the love of my life (in addition to DH of course!). I love every minute I get to spend with him (despite all the crying and sleeplessness nig…

Doable Diapers Going OUT OF BUSINESS *SALES*
Thanks so much Autumn! I feel bad for them (although sounds like it's a relief in a way) but I got 3 Planet Wise wet bags for like $30! I got one of the PW wet/dry ones (in the print I wanted to boot!!!) that I've been wanting to try for…

I ordered a few things from Kelly's Closet and got the free one size so we'll see what I get! So hoping for a Blueberry or Tots Bots but that might be dreaming! LOL
