Fluff!

So much has happened since my last post, but first and foremost, I feel the need to share about my newest obsession: FLUFF (aka cloth diapers)

Top L-R: BumGenius OS, Blueberry OS; Bottom L-R: FuzziBunz OS, Flip OS (cover)

 This is my stash so far. I'm obviously very new to the CD (cloth diaper) world, but I'm learning! So far, I'm loving the one size pocket dipes best. The Blueberry brand I got is my favorite thus far (the cute lil giraffe one) due to the facts that it's a pocket, one size, snaps, and only has 2 snaps per side versus the 3 on the FuzziBunz (red one) which makes it quicker, and it can snap up to make it smaller length-wise. 

Bear with me as I sort my thoughts:
Qualities: 
One-size: LOVE. fits from NB til the end. way more economical than different sizes as baby grows. can be bulky for NB though.
Snaps: bit more tedious than velcro, but seems to last longer and not easy for baby to get apart
Velcro: way easier, but easy for little hands to remove. definitely will invest in more though.
Pockets: just add insert, and done. simple.
Prefolds+covers: not a bad idea...I might actually try this. must use snappies though...and take a little longer. *try contours*
Transition CDs: no bueno. won't be trying. 

Brands:
BumGenius:  OS, Velcro
Blueberry: OS, snaps (2 snaps)
Flip: Cover - must buy prefolds and snappies
Fuzzibunz: OS, snaps (3 snaps)

Pros/Cons:
Pros: saves bookoos of money, better for baby's skin, better for environment, super stinkin cute
Cons: bulky, takes more time to put on, time consuming to clean, expensive to start, must use special soaps and many washes

Overall: I'm in love! 


I've been watching tutorials all day on the different types and folds of CDs and I practiced on teddy:
