Fuzzi Bunz!

As most of you know, we have decided to use cloth diapers with Thomas. We made this decision not because we are all earthy friendly and don't want to fill the garbage dumps with our child's diapers, but because, over the long haul, it is SO much cheaper. Plus they are super cute! While it was a hefty one time investment, we were able to buy everything we need with money we were given for Thomas, so essentially, it was free to us! So I thought I would introduce you to the cloth diapers for those who are curious.

The stash. On the right are our 24 diapers. On the left are wet bags and up top you see the detergent.

We opted for one size fits all, so that we could buy more and wash less. This is sized down for a Newborn.

The inside. You stuff the diaper with an insert(s) (see below) and put it on like a normal diaper.  

Inserts. You can use more than one for older children or overnight/naptimes.

After the deed is done, you put the dirty diaper into a wet bag (basically its just a water proof laundry bag). Then when you've got a load, you wash. I got two travel bags for the diaper bag. The box of detergent supposedly will last us a year and was only $15.

You can compare the sizing. On the left is sized for a newborn. On the right is size small which is 6-15 lbs. (If I remember correctly). The elastic in the legs and waist is adjustable to find the perfect fit. Then there are a bunch of snaps to adjust the tightness in the waist.

So there you have it. A brief overview of the cloth diapers. Not what you originally pictured, huh? We have 24 diapers, so theoretically, we'll only have to wash every 2-3 days. You don't really want to go past 3 though because of smell and germs. However, 12 diapers would be plenty for one child. I just went ahead a got more while we had the money in preparation for more children. By having more, they will be washed/worn less and last longer.
