Before we had our baby, we attended a cloth diapering workshop. This workshop was put on by a local cloth diaper supply shop and covered the various cloth diaper options available to new parents. There are a lot of options for do it yourself washers as well as the option of using a diaper service where diapers are delivered clean and picked up dirty. Beyond utter convenience, there is no good reason for using disposable diapers on a day to day basis.

Following the birth of our baby, we opted for Fuzzi Bunz. Yes, these diapers are expensive. The upside is that the resale price on ebay (yes, used (but clean) diapers are sold on ebay!) is nearly the same price as the original new price. We’ve been pretty happy with our Fuzzi Bunz - they are exceedingly easy to put on a baby making it simple and fool proof for even those who aren’t completely comfortable with the idea of cloth diapering (baby sitters, for example).

Our only issue is that we use well water that is slightly hard - this means that we occassionally have to do an extra laundry step to ensure that the fleece keeps on absorbing liquid so that we aren’t faced with leaks.

But all in all, we’re happy with these diapers, and recommend them highly. We do use disposable diapers on occasion - such as when we are traveling but feel great about using Fuzzi Bunz the rest of time.
