When I was pregnant with my daughter, I got fired because of that. Long story short, I made a case of it and won. I was then left jobless with a lump sum. I had to smartly figure out how I was going to spend that cash.
Since I am an internet nut, I spent my days searching the baby section on eBay making a list of things I would like to get and reading on everything baby related. In my reading, I saw a disposable vs. cloth diapers debate. My initial reaction was "who in their right mind still uses cloth diapers?". I was flabbergasted. I spent a who day researching this cloth diaper story. Can you imagine how surprised I was when I realized that they were not the old plastic pants and diaper pin story. I searched youtube for all videos they had too. After crunching the numbers I was sold on the cloth! Look how pretty they are!
Now, Since I live in the Caribbean and have to pay for it to come my way I didn't have the time nor extra cash to sample one and ten another. I had to make a decision at once and order quickly. I encountered the Fuzzibunz one size diapers and was sure that this was the diaper for me. It was a pocket diaper that allows you to customize the absorbency, plus it was a one size fits all diaper that grows with the child. The positive reviews online did it for me. I bought a start up kit with everything for about $400 (USD) from fuzzibunzstore.com
The diapers themselves were luxuriously soft to the touch. I knew that my daughter would definitely enjoy the plushness on her bottom! I loved them. Washing them were no big deal either. The mess from younger babies are water soluble so they were easy to simply toss into the washing machine.
The diapers arrived shortly after my daughter was born so that meant that she spent about 2 weeks in newborn huggies. She had a horrible rash as well as eczema. Switching to the cloth reduced that drastically! I will have to do a part 2 on cloth daipers. This was money well spent!
Tell me about the way you and cloth first met as well as your first impression... I'd love to hear about that.
