Some of you may be wondering... did Eva ever try out those cloth AIO (all in one) diapers? Yep, sure did! All three worked out great, I have likes and dislikes about each. All in all, each worked as well as a disposable.I used microfiber terry inserts, which also worked great. I bought a hemp insert, but haven't used it yet.
I tried Fuzzi Bunz first, and was surprised that Bella wore it for 6.5 hours and no leaks! She is not a heavy wetter. This diaper is very very simply made. Workmanship is not superior, but it did work. The elastic on one leg is tighter than the other. I've heard/read similar stories, apparently no diaper is exactly alike. They are very soft!! The second time she wore them, she made BIG POOPS, and it held too... Bella only poops once or twice a day, and when she does, Huggies cannot hold it. Very easy to clean, dries quickly. Price $17.95
Rumpsters were tried second. These are my favorite out of the three. Bella wore it for about 4 hours and stayed very dry, then pooped, all of it stayed in the diaper, no leaks! Made out of hemp & organic cotton. Inserts are sewn in, and unfold for washing, or adding additional inserts if you have a heavy wetter. They are trim, but I think they run a little small. A size small is for 8-22 lbs, but I don't think a 20 lb baby would fit these. I also don't think a really chubby baby would fit these. They have a low rise in the front, different from the others. They wash nicely, but take a little longer to dry. These are also the most expensive, running about $24 for one pair! OUCH
Bumgenius! are the most economical out of the three. You can get package deals, and they fit a baby weighing between 8-35 lbs. Basically, one size fits all. On Bella they seem a little big and bulky. I think she weighs about 11 or 12 lbs. They seem to be made better than Fuzzi Bunz, but worked just as well for me. Bella wore it for about 6 hours, and started to leak a little around the stretchy tabs. Sell individually for $17.95
These diapers can also be found used on Ebay, or craigslist. I have seen both Fuzzi Bunz & Bumgenius! on craigslist. These are much cheaper, you just don't know if they have been properly cared for. If you use the wrong detergent, your diaper could become leaky or repel urine. For the really ambitious who know how to sew, (I know there are a few of you out there)check this out.

Do you think you're going to order any? Are you a mix and match kind of girl, or do you want them to all be the same? I'm so glad you decided to give CD a try-- good for you!
I have to give you credit. With the high maintance of Olivia and to deal with cloth Diapers I would go nuts and I would have stuff everywhere! Way to go Eva. Oh saw something cool on Megan Mullally and thought of you. Take a potato chip bag and open flat wash it with soap and water. The silver side place it on top of a a present to wrap it. I can't remember the name of the book that shows how to do some stuff like that but it was on the Megan Mullally show.
