cloth diapers save $$

Yeah, I've been looking at getting more from them too and they have been out of stock for a couple of months. They keep on saying that they are going to restock by the beginning of March but that has long gone by now. I'm not sure what is going on with them at the moment.

Tyrae, we have actually been looking at Kawaii diapers but the problem is that they are always out of stock! It's very frustrating.

It has been shown that children in cloth diapers potty train about 9 months earlier than children in disposable diapers. You can also hang them to dry instead of using the dryer which is a lot better on the diapers and would save you about half of that money.

I just figured out & if you change a child on average of every two hours from the time they are born until they are age 3 (which of course you're not going to do as they get older), and you buy a store brand diaper at approximately $15 for 80 diapers (I went off of Target prices) you are going to spend approximately $2200 on diapers in 3 years. I live in an apartment that has coin laundry. It cost me $2 per load, relatively comparable to what you would pay if doing it in your own machine with water & electricity. So, if I used clothe diapers and did a load of laundry every day for that, it would cost me $2185 in 3 years PLUS the initial investment of $500, so while I believe in possible "health" benefits from clothe diapers, you're not going to sell me on the cost or environment arguments. I put extra diapers in the landfill, you use extra water & electricity.

Katie and Angela you should check out Kawaii Baby Diapers, they have a site it is http://www.theluvyourbaby.com/
they actually have deals going right now on packages of diapers. I got all of my cloth diapers (a stash of 28) for under $200. They are great quality. They have one size snappy, one size velcro, and they also sell prefolds and diaper covers if you wanted to go that way too. :)

I could never invest in that either for the simple fact that i have to pay bills and disposables are way cheaper when you only have that 20 to spend or even 6 or 7 to spend i would love to be eco friendly in that way but i do my share with saving with water and changing my lights and having energy eff appliances already.

I wanted to use cloth diapers for my Son, but we hit very hard times during my pregnancy and everyone bought us disposable diapers. I am now wanting to switch, but since money is still very very tight I don't know how to go about it or how to afford it. We could never put $500.00 down on them unless we didn't pay our bills!

Cloth diapers are soooo awesome! My friend suggested it and there are so many kinds out there. Fuzzi Bunz and Bumgenius are my favs because they are one size and will fit her to potty training. They are easy to use and easy to wash. My daughter has NO diaper rashes since these cloth diapers.

I use cloth diapers for spit up and burp rags.
