Some very nice ladies here (Beth and Brianna ;) have agreed to let me borrow their CD's for a little while to try. I also bought a Happy Heiny pocket diaper, a Nikky cover, Samuels soaker, and some prefolds to add to the colllection.
When I got the diapers in the mail today I was going to set them aside until I got everything all ready, but they looked so soft and cute...I just had to try some out! :)
I was so surprised that the things I thought I would like so much, I didn't, and what I thought would only be okay, was better.
I thought if I was rich I would buy all Fuzzi Bunz. But the petite toddler size didn't fit Josh's chubby thighs at all (even unstuffed!). I also couldn't stuff it with a prefold like I thought I could. Too long and bulky. I just ordered a size Large FB to see if that fits, but I'm not crossing fingers. It may just be the style on him.
I LOVED the Happy Heiny pocket diaper with a Joey Bunz in it. it was slightly more poufy than the FB, but not much. Very soft and cute! After Josh drank 2 sippy cups of water, I wondered why the diaper felt so dry. I couldn't believe he hadn't peed at all, but it felt bone dry. Then I pulled out the Joey Bunz and it was all wet! The fleece had wicked the moisture away so well I would've never known he had wet in it. I could've reused the Happy Heint with a fresh insert in it if I had wanted too. Even inside the pocket was dry! Joshua kept running around smiling patting this diaper--I guess he liked it too!
Joshua, who is normally an acrobat on the changing table, aparently liked the softness of CD's and let me try out several folds using my prefolds. I did a bikini twist on the first try! I snappied it and put on a Nikky cover--and LOVED it! It fit just as trim as a disposable! I thought I would hATE using prefolds, but I didn't. I thought I would only like to tri-fold a premium prefold and just lay it in. But sheesh! It was like stuffing a huge towel between the poor kids legs. I knew it would be too uncomfortable. I did just order a few infant size prefolds to see if that makes a difference when I trifold them, and stuff my pocket diapers.
Well, that's all for now. Stay tuned, until later, for more of the beginners diaper saga :)
