I switched to cloth just before ds turned 1, in '00. I absolutely loved Baby Moons (won 6 custom Baby Moons, in the first Chinese auction here), and original Fireflys, with the soaker sewn on the sides like wings (won a custom one of those too!). I have an original Bizzy B Hive (made by Sacha) that I still love, and Molly Togs and Cloth Babies that are wearing out, but still have a lot of life. I've got a Jenny Oh around here somewhere, and a Devin's Designs fleece cover that's about done. Fortunately, our Turtleduds fleece soaker is still going strong. I wanted Elkebellas, but the only one I got my hands on was a fleece cover with snap in diapers, and it hasn't worked well for either of my kids. Ooooh, and I loved my pinnable Country Cozys, and my Paige's P-Catchers. The only thing ds ever wore at night was original Fuzzi Bunz, fleece inner and outer, with a strip of pul inside. Sure wish she still made them like that, I loved the fleecy goodness! With dd, I loved newborn Nanipoos, and Poochies, I couldn't have diapered her infant butt without them!

Oh, and remember The Rag Lady? She made some super cool nursing shirts, by pairing recycled waffle weave henleys with flannel shirts. I wanted one so bad, but she didn't have a color combo that I liked in my size.

oh, yeah, I forgot about Fireflys. Yeah, mine were the original ones too. With the cute fabric outers. Man, I remember that she had a list a mile long. Took months until it was my turn.

Tuesday Bear! OMG--I had like 5 of her awesome wool covers.

Then some drama happened and she no longer made them. *sniff* what ever happened to her? Is she still around?

When I cloth diapered DS, I loved Cloud 9 Softies and Lukes Drawers. But also simple old Bumkins AIOs.

With DD, I had more hyena dipes and my favs were El Bees.

I have a ton if different dipes, in the beginning I just liked prefolds and wool but then fell in love with others. I really liked Beccabottoms and found them to be the trimmest dipe out there. and of course there is Fuzzi bunz. If I could go back in time and just get all of those and none of the others I would. Most of my other dipes have fallen apart in the wash but those still work great and don't even look worn.

I tried sooo many kinds, but the ones that became my "mainstay" at one time or another, were
Happy Heiny's
Fireflies
Dewdrops
KiwiPie wool covers
CalicoBaby fleece covers

I had a couple of Elbees & First Class Baby, but they were so hard to get, that I focused on other diapers that I loved just as much.

eta...Oh and Freshies! I LOVED Kendall's diapers, omg they were awesome, and perfectly sewn. But extremely rare and hard to find. Love her Mama cloth too.

I remember when I was researching cloth diapers when I was pregnant with my first (in 2001). It took me forever to figure out all the different terminology- prefolds (what, they aren't actually folded?!), soakers, doublers, liners, wraps...

I about choked when I saw that Kissaluvs were $12 per diaper!

I used prefolds for a while. Then I really coveted Luke's Drawers One Size Wonders and bought a bunch of them used on ebay. They were really nice and squishy soft. I had some hemp Liz's Cloth dipes that I liked for night time. I really got into SOS and had a bunch of those for a while too.

My very first WAHM diaper was Ivy Rose and I stuck with Jen through her diaper making years - and now get her clothing whenever I can.

I also swore by Bizzy B wool-in-ones and Sugar Peas wool-in-ones for getting us through the night with my super soaker.

Lucy's Hope Chest was awesome too - I bought mediums for Joanna when she was about 3 months old that lasted her until I sold them earlier this year (so over 3 years).

I honestly don't think there was a diaper I just didn't like. I had so many (had a lot of fun diapering) and I'm now just about done with diapers.

OMGosh--I just remembered Honeyboys! I can't believe that none of us mentioned that. Remember how they'd go for over $100 on auction?! I remember a few going for more than $200!


Now, is it ok to mention those that we hated?

Cloud 9 Softies are my absolute favorite of all time diaper
SOS
El Bee baby


I think I have tried over 100 brands of diapers in my 12 years of diapering. WAHM are the best by far.

When I started using cloth on Saige over 4 years ago I loved using sugarpeas, fireflies, cuddlebuns (bikini cut), Full Moon Baby Gear, babysoftwraps, and SOS.

With Alex I used peewell, fuzzi bunz, first class baby, and happy hieny.
