Chunky Monkey, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! That is super helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really want to give it a try, because like BoyJoy up there, I get sick to death of how much I spend on disposables, not to mention thinking about them piling up in a landfill. I am sure with the smart people making CDs these days that it isn't as difficult and annoying as when my mom CDed me!!!

purplepoet - have you tried a "bikini twist" prefold fold with a Snappi? My hubby found all other folds for prefolds hard but liked that one

I would recommend a trial program when starting out, there are a few places like Nicki's Diapers that offer a trial program with a store credit for anything you return, but there are also some that offer you your money back (which if CDing doesn't work out is good). This is a thread on diaperswappers with a lot of good info on trial programs:

I wish I would've done one of these when I started out because I ended up buying a lot of diapers trying to figure out what worked for us!2000 2006 2009

Thanks so much for the info.....also, be careful, as I got a trojan (ie. very destuctive virus) on my work computer clicking on the diaper pin link from CM (some hackers attach viruses to sites they think the looker won't know what to do, obviously they think CD mommies are hippies that don't know anything about computers), although it totally wasn't your fault, of course, CM!!!! Just FYI!

I am so sorry!!! I had no idea anyone could even do that! Can I edit the post somehow? Maybe I'll just remove that link?
I removed it! I don't know if that takes care of it, but I'm sorry if anyone had issues with itLast edited by Chunky Monkey; March 28th, 2011 at 01:55 AM.

Fuzzy Bunz has a new diaper, one-size... you can adjust the elastic in the legs for bigger or smaller thights. They also fit really well around the butt.

I cd'd dd & am doing both cd's & disposables with the baby. My current favorite is Rumparooz, which is a one-size pocket. DS is prone to mega blowouts, and these fully contain that, thank goodness! They have an inner gusset on the legs, which basically provides an extra bit of elastic to hold everything in. Cute prints, and they don't take long to dry (you remove the microfiber insert from the diaper as you put it into your diaper pail). Their newborn diapers, Lil Joeys, were my absolute favorites. So teeny tiny, but they fit my chunky monkey beautifully!
I like ordering from nickisdiapers, and abbyslane is great too. She has very fast shipping, and I think it's a lower threshold for free shipping.(6/02) (1/04) (3/06) (11/10)

We've used bumGenius with both babies and really loved them. I've also tried about a gazillion other things, LOL, but those are our favorite. I prefer the pockets (4.0) because I like that I can bleach the inserts every few months if they get stinky. They also dry a lot faster than the Elementals.
IMO, most one-size diapers are hard to use from birth. They may well work, but are just SO bulky on a newborn baby. I would recommend getting some sized diapers for the start. We used newborn/xs diapers until DS was big enough to fit in the one-size bumGenius.
So happy for you Treens, congratulations Sent from my SM-A225F using Tapatalk
