re: Cloth Diapers Rock, Bitches! Vol. 4

I've got 29 indian prefolds, a bunch of snappis & 13 covers in med/large for Pierce on their way.

(got them all dirt cheap & brand new in packaging apart from the 2 covers which were used)

I love it how people destash cheaply because they want it gone, not because they want their money back  

Im officially BROKE now .. i spent whatever little i could scrape together to get DS out of cloth  .. going to have to hardcore budget on food next week lol!

Worth it if his rash clears!

I got 10 BumGenius 3.0 (new condition) yesterday, but they arent even lasting DS a day  

To those mamas who use prefolds... does your bub whinge/grump/fuss the minute they're wet?

If you use them over night do they work?

Im thinking of getting fleece liners to keep him dry but cant afford it until next thursday.

Quoting Jace's Momma.:" Does this sound like a good wash routine? I don't want to kill my diapers lol, but this seems like what ... [snip!] ... soap (how much for a non he washer?) 1 hot wash no soap 1 hot wash no soap All of the hot washes won't hurt the pul right?"

I would change the hot washes after the one with soap to warm then cold for the last, personally.

My kid never did. You can go to the fabric store and just cut your own from a fourth of a yard of fleece. Much cheaper. I paid like $2 for 40 fleece liners doing it that way

Oh yikes. Yeah it's like half that here. All you need is a fourth of that though. IDK how you guys buy fabric though, here we can buy just a fourth of a yard.

Im not sure either to be honest   .. im sure we can buy it in smaller amounts?

1/2 meter etc.

Do you know the measurements of your liners roughly?

No, I just cut them to fit inside the diaper lol. They were probably like 7 inches by 3 inches or something. It's been like 2 years since then lol

I was going to buy a meter... maybe i'll just get 1/2 and see how i go - i need about 30 liners.

I got 40-50 out of a fourth of a yard. I think you'd be good with a half a meter

People are selling them for $10 x 10 liners on ebay here lol!

I've been using soap nuts for a month, little longer maybe, and really really lile them.
Initially I used Econuts (because I got a sample) so I bought some from amazon. Don't remember the brand but they're the top selling soap nuts on amazon, lol. It also came with a liquid concentrate that you can use as a detergent, but I dilute with water and it's a kick ass glass cleaner.

Well, at least you can probably sell the bumgenius for some of your money back.
