Diapers

Ok, let me lay it out. The diapers I started with were Fuzzi Bunz.
Fuzzi Bunz are fine - they are pocket diapers needing inserts. I bought my first batch from Mother Eve - http://www.mothereve.com/ - which came with some inserts. I have used the mother of eden and joey bunz. I really have no taste for inserts but my hubby loves joey bunz. I have used these overnight.

I think I picked up a couple of Wonderoos next. They are fine, save they are one size and can be harder to get fitted right. They are pocket diapers too. I have actually been using these along with solid happy heinys as my night time diapers.

Happy Heinys came next. I bought most of mine from Abby's Lane - http://www.abbyslane.com/ which is a store I highly recommend. I recieved wonderful service here. Happy Heinys are better than the others as they are velcro pocket diapers. No snaps to fuss with. Anyone who has ever changed a baby can understand how hard it can be with a wiggling baby. The prints are adorable, but they will leak right through if they are not changed often enough. The solids I have not had that problem with - but I only had 1 solid for a long time. I picked up 2 more in my recent order.

I picked up some Bumkins around the same time to try out the All In One diaper. Bumkins do not keep the wetness away from baby as the others do. However they do not require an insert and I have found them to be very waterproof. They do not leak through even with the cute prints. They have sevral Dr Suess prints which I think are cool. I have some that are second hand as well as new and have had no preformace issues. I also have some second hand Fuzzi Bunz, Happy Heinys, and Wonderoos. I have had no problems with any of them.

Recently I bought a Wallypop pocket diaper from The Stork Wearhouse - http://www.thestorkwearhouse.com/index.htm - I thought I would try it out as it was cheaper new than the other diapers by about $5. I was thinking of trying the All In One they make but they did not have any mediums in stock. If I buy more Wallypops - which I probably will - I think I will go ahead and get the large. I found these not only to be cheaper, but a step above the other Velcro Diapers with the velcro on both sides of one tab, allowing for over velcroing. This allows the diaper to fit snugger if needed. With all this said - I have had the Wallypop only about a week. So we shall see how it does over time.

Finally I also bought one Rumpster All In One to try out. It also has the velcro on both sides of one tab to allow for the over velcroing. I do like this about it. The instert built into it folds out from each side to allow for faster drying. All In Ones take longer to try as the absorbant material is built into them unlike pocket diapers. I seem to be having a hard time getting the rumpster to fit right. It seemed awful small compared to the other diapers I have (other than the Wallypop which seemed small too). However I am having to use the over velcro, I think they are just a little trimmer diapers. I will give the Rumpster more time to win me over before I make a solid decsion. Unlike the Bumkins they have some material like the fleece of a Happy Heiny next to baby. I will have to see if it helps keep her dry.

Places I have bought from (other than eBay)
Abby's Lane - http://www.abbyslane.com/
The Stork Wearhouse - http://www.thestorkwearhouse.com/index.htm
Mother Eve - http://www.mothereve.com/
Diaper Junction - http://www.diaperjunction.com/
Buttercup Baby - http://www.buttercupbaby.com/store/
Labor of Love - http://www.laborofloveshack.com

I think that is everywhere. I would buy again from any of them. If I think of one I have forgotten I will add it. Feel free to ask me any questions.
