Anyone ever use these? Im still new at the cloth diapering and was wondering if these were really as good as they look. TIA! 

Tina --- 14 years ago -

I don't have children, but is cloth diapering cheaper?
Is there less diaper rash with cloth diapers. Have you heard of infant hygiene? 

ChiTownGrl --- 14 years ago -

I don't use them, but cloth diapers are much cheaper. Just like with any other diaper, you have to keep your kid changed and clean. I know some babies will get diaper rash no matter what you do, but I don't see why cloth diapers would cause it to happen more. 

¥OUnique♥Oki --- 14 years ago -

Cheaper, WAYYY cheaper. Yes, it is an investment and expensive when you start out. I paid around $300 for 12 of the Organic AIO One SizeBumGenius, which are the closest you can get to a disposable, but you can get the cheaper ones that you use inserts with for around $200 for 12. We were spending $80 a month on diapers for my two boys and I can use the diapers on both of them since they are One Size. That's $80 a mo Im saving. So it'll make up for the $300 I spent and more!

Have you guys heard of infant hygiene ~ I don't hink it's practiced much in the US. It's basically where you hold them over the sink, or sit them a little pot-like thing for babies. 

¥OUnique♥Oki --- 14 years ago -

I started cloth also, b/c my youngest gets rashes really bad. He's allergic to the stuff they put in the disposables. They've gotten alot better.

No. ? They have them go to the bathroom in the sink? Ew. Hmmm how would they know when the baby has to go though. I have a hard time with my two yr old telling me!

If you sit them in a pot and they pee, aren't they just sitting in their own pee? I have other things to do than hold my baby over the sink all day waiting for her to pee. If you have that much free time, feel free to come over and hold her.It will save me a lot of money on diapers. 

Tina --- 14 years ago -

Probably just then put them on the little pot.It's part of the natural parenting scheme ~ I think they basically watch the child's bowel patterns to determine the frequency then just toilet them accordingly. I read about it a while ago. I think it's called Elimination Communication in the US. I think it's practiced more in third world or developing countries maybe India, and Africa ~ I think, where diapers cannnot be afforded as readily. 

Tina --- 14 years ago -

@ ChiTownGirl it just looks like a little bowl.

feel free to come over and hold her

That would really put a damper on my nap schedule. 

Tina --- 14 years ago -

Yeah it's probably not convenient, but defintely cheaper. 

The Dramallama --- 14 years ago -

I pee in the sink all the time. 

Tina --- 14 years ago -

LOL. 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

ME, TOO!! 

ChiTownGrl --- 14 years ago -

Some conveniences are worth the cost. How would you go anywhere? I'm sure Krystle would be thrilled if my baby peed all over Chili's. Another reason I'm grateful that I don't live in a third world country.

it just looks like a little bowl. 

LMAO. You try to keep my 9 month old in a bowl. I just had to wrestle her pajamas on her. 

Nicole --- 14 years ago -

I would wager a guess that G-diapers will be more expensive than regular diapers. 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

Come conveniences are worth the cost.

There's a cost for that now? 

Tina --- 14 years ago -

It basically looks like the insert that goes into a potty chair....it was just a thought :) Something that I read about a while ago. I'll see if I'm brave enough to try it when I have children...LOL 

ChiTownGrl --- 14 years ago -

I meant the convenience of using diapers.

I'll see if I'm brave enough to try it when I have children...LOL 


I'm dying to know how you would go into restaurants and such with a completely naked baby.

God gave my baby a choice, and she chooses Luvs size 3 diapers.

Read what you typed, though. :-D 

ChiTownGrl --- 14 years ago -

Hahaha. I didn't even notice that. All of this nonsense is rotting my brain! 

The Dramallama --- 14 years ago -

Little llama just goes in the yard, we tie him up out back. 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

Hahaha. I didn't even notice that. All of this nonsense is rotting my brain! 

I'd pay for it if it comes to that. ;-) 

ChiTownGrl --- 14 years ago -

Me too. I would even take out a loan. I guess I could just use the money I was using on diapers now that I found this amazing alternative. 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

I need to find something to give up for the extra cash. 

ChiTownGrl --- 14 years ago -

Car insurance. I heard that it doesn't matter if you have it or not. 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

Good to know. I'll cancel that tomorrow. 

ChiTownGrl --- 14 years ago -

Also, I started a list of all of the important things I have learned on OU in my profile. 

Loved living in Oki --- 14 years ago -

HA! I saw that.
