Fluff Day

For those of you that don't know....cloth diapers are also known as "fluff".  Don't ask me why...cause I really don't know ,but I can only imagine that it has something to do with how damn cute their little tooshies look in cloth diapers.

In my last cloth diaper post, I revealed my plans for "fluffing" my child's butt and I couldn't be more excited that EVERYTHING that I ordered plus more came yesterday.  I had so much fun opening my new "Christmas" package!  They are so freakin' cute, I can't stand it!

I got 2 Bum Genius 4.0 pockets, 3 Fuzzibunz pockets, 6 Kawaii pockets (4 thanks to my mom), and 5 Flip diaper covers.  Plus a super cute Planet Wise "owl" wetbag.  I got all kinds of colors, but I would have to say that my favorite by far would be the Kawaii cow print.  I can't wait to see him in it!

I am so excited about my decision to cloth diaper now that I actually bought some more today...can we say A.D.D.I.C.T.I.O.N?  Cotton Babies was having a "gently used" sale on Bum Genius 4.0 for $10 a piece.  I can just see your little noses curled up at the thought of "gently used" diapers, but it really isn't that big of a deal.  These come free of stains and will be disinfected totally before going on my child's bottom!  They are usually about $18 a piece, so I couldn't pass up this deal!  I bought 6...yeah, that's right, I said it... now how to hide that from hubby?  Not sure....  Any suggestions?????

With my excitement comes more anxiety though.....  After seeing the diapers in person, I am wondering if I am going to like pocket diapers way better than prefolds and Flip covers????  They just seem so much easier! Slap that baby right on his butt and move on my merry way!  Not that the Flips look hard, but I have to figure out what kind of prefolds/ inserts to put in them, then Darren has to figure out how to fold them, etc....

So cloth diaper moms, I need your advice.... should I just stick with pockets and sell my unused Flips or should I give it a try?

try the Flips! I love em. Sure, they are a little more work than the pocket variety but I think you'll be surprised at how easy they are.
