i guess i'm the lone dissenter here, as usual.

i only have motherease all in ones. i just collected a ton in both sizes, and it's what i used on my dd exclusively until she potty trained herself before 2. i used a great variety w/ ds-- fitteds, various covers, various wool, various all in ones, but when i had dd my time went to nil, and i had to have a quick-change, so i just started using those more and more and ultimately sold off everything else.

i bought them in lots here and on ebay.

i put a bummis stay-dry doubler in, or a fleece-topped hemp doubler, too, and they last and last.

the only bad thing is that they *do* leave red marks, as everyone complains of. but neither child every complained, for some reason!

they're not wahm, but, from what i understand, originally they were, and i think they're still family-owned...

you got a Cotton Babies deal - they lower the price when you buy a dozen and they used to include their own insert for free. I don't know what they do now that Mother of Eden has mandated the sale of the insert and dipe altogether.

I really love FB. I wish their production was a little smoother, but I guess they're working on that. I probably would've given up on carrying FB at our store a long time ago if they weren't such work horse dipes...

An excellent place for dipe reviews (and reviews of carriers and just about everything else) is diaperpin.com

Mine did that when the timing was off. Might need a cleaning/tuning. Sorry for the OT.

i am such a fickle cloth diaper-er. i like different things for different ages, and even for different seasons.

if i had to choose just one favorite diaper, i think i'd pick organic velour el bee's. yum!!

and knitted wool- soakers, shorts, or longies- depending on the season, merino wool though, for sure.

when the baby gets to the wiggly, hates to be changed stage, i love the ease of fuzzi bunz.

i want to love prefolds- for the cost and simplicity- but i just can't. i've tried folding and laying them in, snappi'ing and pinning and i just can't get the fit i want. i do always have some on hand for back ups though.

It started doing this crap after I took it in for a cleaning. They keep telling me it wasn't meant to do that much and won't listen when I tell them it had no problem doing it before.

I pmed you Kari.

I am loving my swaddlebees pockets. I got a ton at their outlet store, but they are nearly sold out of everything now.
