Cloth Diapers!


I LOVE using cloth diapers and wish I would have known how easy it is for the girls. It is not what it use to be, no buckets of water, no bleach, no pins, no rough plastic covers, no crazy diaper rashes and no dirty mess. Seriously it is so easy. I love how soft they are, they don't have chemicals, they are good for the environment, they are supper cute and they save us tons of money. I purchased Thirsty Covers and prefolds when Leo was a newborn. Now we use Imagination one size pocket diapers. I have thirteen diapers and wash every two to three days. Their is a lot of steps but it becomes habbit. I would encourage every parent to give it a try. If you don't like them you can always sell them. Yes, cloth diapers actually hold their value very well. I just sold my Thirsty Covers for nine dollars and spent twelve on them new. Can't say enough about cloth diapers and wipes!

Here is a wet bag full of dirty diapers. Soiled diapers simply get thrown in. 

First run the diapers in a cold rinse cycle to get all the wast off the diapers.

I like to make sure all the inserts have come out of the diaper covers.

I do a heavy duty wash with hot water and extra rinse.

Laundry soap is important. You can only use approved laundry soap.
I make my own (blog to come).

Laundry soap and vinger to help with order.

I put my wipes and inserts in the drier. The covers have a plastic like
material that can not withstand the dryer. I turn them inside out to
help them dry faster.

Drying. I like to time this for overnight.

Now I have my dry wipes, inserts, covers and a cute baby ;)

I stuff the insert into the cover.

And I am ready to go for the next few days.
