A while back I wrote about my experience with cloth diapers.I then updated with my thoughts on how solid poo affected my feelings about cloth diapers.
In the past few months I decided to purchas some prefolds and covers to inexpensively increase our stash in the hopes of not using our Bum Genius diapers as much in order to prolong their lives.
I've learned that I LOVE PREFOLDS!
Who would have ever thought it?!
When we first decided to cloth diaper and I began researching all my options I was way too hesitant to try prefolds. They just seemed too complicated to me. But in some ways I have decided they are actually simpler:
- Prefolds are less bulky when traveling. Because they are flat and you don't have to have a ton of covers they fold up very nicely.
- Less laundry. Because covers don't have to be washed after every use this really cuts down on the amount of laundry.
- Prefolds dry more quickly. I hang the covers and they dry in no time on the line the prefolds themselves fluff up quickly in the dryer.
- No leaks! So far we have not had a single leak while using prefolds.
We have tried several different versions of diapers and covers and our preference at this time is:
- Chinese prefolds for day
- Kissaluvs contours for night
- Snappis to fasten
- Thirsties covers (these are by FAR my favorite)
For our next child I'll continue to add prefolds to our stash.
I only wish I knew "then" what I know now!
