I've been so wrapped up in work, election results, and, of course! Diapers and my sweet little children. They are getting so big so fast! Jo (my eldest) just turned 5! Ack!<br />Well, enough about me, I wanted to let YOU know that right now, as of this post, <a href="http://www.babyhalfoff.com/">babyhalfoff.com</a> has the Dream Eze AIOs for $10.50 plus shipping. Don't have an AIO? Get one! I personally don't like side snap diapers (Guerrilla Fluff is the only one that works for us;) but, if you have a love of side snaps AND cheap dipes, then there is no reason you shouldn't snap up a few.<br />AIOs work for a multitude of scenarios, and I really like the Dream Eze wraps... awesome waterproof-ness.Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-46110370653219105712010-04-21T19:56:00.001-07:002010-04-21T22:02:20.518-07:00Just keepin' up with the salesI'm neglecting my blog! I'm neglecting me. I certainly hope I'm not neglecting my children. I don't think so. I know it's been 8 days since my last wash, but the diapers are clean now! I'm lucky that I live in such a dry climate; now, if only I can get another good sale on <a href="http://rockingreensoap.com/">rockin green </a>hard formula.<br />Well, I did find a discount on <a href="http://www.greensproutbaby.com/">Green Sprout Baby</a> Diapers. I did a quick google search and voila! 10% off. It was enough to cover shipping, at least.<br />I was also planning this huge, wonderful rave for Patooshie Pants, but then she closed her store! I was SO sad. These diapers looked just like goodmamas, and they fit the goodmama inserts, but performed even better because they had a larger overhang from the elastic, and the bamboo fleece was amazing.... ahh..... I'm glad I spent the extra money to get 4, cuz they are honestly my favorite diaper.<br />Any who, I hope you (like I) have been able to grab some of the free diapers thanks to the Mothering magazine coupon. Haven't you heard? See my button for mom's milk boutique over there on the left? Free shipping and free bumgenious AIO diaper with a bumgenious purchase of $10 or more. Or, try <a href="http://www.abbyslane.com/index.php">Abby's Lane </a>and tell her that Shanna @ cheapfluffybunz sent you. Both are free shipping. (She asks for $25 BG minimum, but hey, that's trying out the flip, right?). I LOVE the flip diapers. They work so well with my gDiapers. Also try <a href="http://www.squishytushy.com/">Squishy Tushy</a> for the free BG AIO. Free shipping on orders over $35.<br />And what else? Oh yes, <a href="http://www.blueberrydiapers.com/">Blueberry </a>Diapers just stocked their <a href="http://www.swaddlebees.com/Clearance">clearance </a>section. With prices like these, you don't have to buy used diapers!Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-55499388479506309112010-03-03T22:47:00.000-08:002010-03-03T22:50:57.768-08:00Let's compare, Shall we? (Fitteds)So, I've been trying all sorts of cloth dipes because there are so many different kinds out there! Let's start with the basics: Fitteds<br />(okay, the basics would really be pre-folds, and from there, contours, but fitteds are just a step up from contours and viola! Basics!) Besides, I've decided with Vi, I'm not doing pre-folds any more. Fitted are way more fashionable and I like going coverless at home. Then I know when she goes, and I can change her more often.<br />So, back to fitteds. I will update this list as I move on in my experimenting, but I want to show you the price-comparison of the different fitteds on the market. I'm going to list these from most expensive to cheapest.<br />Also to note, these are all one-size. I believe in one-size diapers because then I don't have to buy 3 sets of diapers. You can make the argument that you would resell the diapers once you are done with them, but I figure, make the investment, and use what you got until potty learning.<br />I should also note - I like to buy my diapers NEW. You can always chose to buy used diapers, and that would reduce the price, but for my purposes, I'm talking about new.<br />1. Goodmama.<br />Ah, the goodmama diaper. A luxory diaper. An expensive diaper. A cute diaper. An absorbent diaper. An overpriced diaper. Bottom line: goodmama has good diapers. Goodmama fitteds retail for $33 each with their cotton velours at $29 each. There are many, many alternatives, (as I'll show you below) for goodmamas. Don't get me wrong. When there's a sale, grab a few prints that you like, otherwise, pass.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Absorbency</span>: It will hold a few potties or one big "urinating event". (However, I've had a blow out in this diaper, so take it what it's worth.)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cuteness</span>: Okay, they do have really, really cute prints. And the have lots of customs done.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit</span>: There is one thing that I've heard about yet not yet experienced: wing droop. On larger babies/toddlers, the "wings" of the diapers can slip down and the diaper can fall off. I would guess this is due to poor elastic or poor placement of elastic. Other issues for babies with sensitive skin is the exposed snaps and the serging rubbing against soft skin. Red marks tend to ensue. I should note, this diaper, like the two listed below all have a "two-snap" snap in soaker. I'm going to have to take a picture of this. It's important because you can always grab a soaker from a Bububebe and stick it in a goodmama, and vice-versa.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fluff for Buck</span>: Uh, $33 for 1 diaper? plus shipping? yeah, I know it's a one-size, but come on.<br />2. BubuBebe<br />My first alternative to the goodmama. Instead of a insert with 2 layers, these dipes have 3 layers in their inserts. And they all separate from each other for custom absorbency. PLUS there are two extra snaps in the front for easy snap down for small babes. There are also extra snaps in the soaker so that you can flip it around and stick it around in the front, if you aren't folding down the diaper.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Absorbency</span>: A+. It's nice to have the bamboo fleece, the velour, and it's all customizable. I swear, this thing could contain a gallon.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cuteness </span>factor: It's comparable to goodmama. Really take a look.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit</span>: This is okay. I do like that these diapers tend to be the longest out there. I think the rise is like 20 inches, but the elastic is really close to the ends; the diaper tends to bunch up leaving red marks. But, they are really, really trim. The goodmamas are about 6.5 inches; the bububebe is only 5.5 inches.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fluff for Buck</span>: Pass. Really. Unless you need to build a stash (Read: buy 5 or more diapers) AND they are on sale (regularly $28), just pass. Plus you'd have to pay the shipping costs, from Canada.<br />3. Piddle Poddles<br />The next alternative to the goodmama. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. These WAHMs use the same cute prints as goodmama, they have the same type of soaker. You can use these interchangeably with the goodmamas.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Absorbency</span>: Uh, yeah. See the goodmama right up. Although, one of my soaker's stitching has come undone. It doesn't really effect the function, but it is sad to see.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cuteness</span>: OMG! I love these. This would be the main reason that I buy these.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fit</span>: If I gave out points, this is where I would take away 5. The PP's are big and bulky. The width is also 6.5 inches, but I just feel like these aren't as squishy as a goodmama.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fluff for Buck</span>: $27. Okay, so that's 6 bucks less than a goodmama. But still expensive. Good news is that they have sales all the time. Bad news is that you will always have to pay shipping.<br /><br />Alright, I have several more that I know that I want to review, but let's stick to three for now, and I'll add more later (along with pictures). In my stash, I also have sticky peas, guerrilla fluff, kooshie keister, patooshie pants, bagshot row bamboo.Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-24540684297929945172010-02-09T09:48:00.000-08:002010-02-09T10:06:46.618-08:00Bumkins AIOsDo you love all in ones? I’ve been dying to try, and I’ve now found my chance. <a href="https://www.ecobabybuys.com/index.php">Ecobabybuys </a>is selling (for today only) 2 Bumkins AIOs plus a wet bag for $33.50. For me, shipping would be $5. Items ship from New York, so all of you New Yorkers would be charged sales tax as well. However, it’s still a good deal seeing how normally the Bumkins AIOs are $18 each.<br />An alternative would be the Bumkins Diaper Bundle 3-Pack from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bumkins-Diaper-Bundle-3-Pack-Seuss/dp/B0015ZSOUC/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1265738361&sr=8-23">amazon.com</a> (free shipping!), starting at $52; retail price is $72.<br /><br />I hope you find your cheap fluff!Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-7642369544341824822010-01-17T23:15:00.000-08:002010-01-17T23:23:30.652-08:00What's the going rate for a BG?I think it's typically $18 for a BumGenius pocket diaper.

If so, go ahead and get an extra one...<br />$16 at <a href="http://www.kamsnaps.com/bumGenius-3-0-One-Size-Pocket-Diaper-100-Matching-Snaps-p108.html">KAMSnaps.com</a><br />And, she'll throw in 100 snap sets for you too.

I love moving and not having access to the internet or mail for weeks at a time.<br />15. Ah-ha! There you are.<br />See, and now here we are, on (or near) January 15th. This is going to get better. Much better. I hope you all scored some excellent Christmas sale stash.<br />I did.

I like the convenience of a throw away diaper. I'm a working Mom, and I have someone who watches my baby while I'm at work. I'm sure that while she wouldn't mind the extra hassle of cloth, I am aware that she has a lot on her plate, and worrying about where to put the poo from the poopy diaper isn't one of them. (Besides, I HATE having to clean up poop... I blogged about it <a href="http://cheapfluffybutts.blogspot.com/2009/07/looking-back.html">here</a>.)<br />So, I use <a href="http://www.gdiapers.com/shop/">gDiapers</a>. They are a hybrid diaper; cloth on the outside and papery pulp on the inside that will compost. (In my mind, this is becoming a trend with GroBaby coming out with <a href="http://www.thenaturalbabyco.com/gro-baby-biodegradable-soaker-pads-p-745.html">Bio Soaker Pads</a> and now BumGenius coming out with the <a href="http://www.cottonbabies.com/index.php?cPath=139">Flip </a>diapers.)<br />When the fam and I took Jo to Disneyland for her birthday back in June, we were gone for 5 days. I did still use pockets for my overnight diaper, with a wet bag, but I started that routine 2 days into the trip. The first two nights I do what I always do: gInsert, (maybe doubled,) with the little gPant, and then, a wool soaker over it. Tada! No leaks, no laundry!<br />If Vi had a poopy diaper that got a little messy, then it went into the wet bag. I could wash it when I got home. I swear, it's as easy as disposables without the rashes, worries, or concerns over environment. At the same time, it felt like cloth without the laundry.<br />Best of Both Worlds.<br />I need to edit to add that taking a few gPants, and the inserts adds very little bulk to my suitcase.Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-34373680498386858432009-09-22T00:13:00.000-07:002009-10-02T00:16:45.304-07:00I'm Grateful Giveaway<span style="font-weight: bold;">Contest Closed.</span><br />Ahhh... today was one of those days. I feel that my creator was sending me gentle reminders that I am not alone. I had a good day at work, I found a missing diaper. Traffic wasn't so bad.

This is a different take on a one-size pocket diaper. Instead of having snaps on the front of the diaper to change the size, the snaps are on the leg elastic. Here's a picture that somewhat captures it:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.rockymountaindiapers.com/i//elasticpic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.rockymountaindiapers.com/i//elasticpic.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />They retail for $18.50.

Wow. I liked the fit before: trim, one-size, long tabs, but then she changed the soaker. WOW. Huge improvement. Her soakers are now quilted, and they are fantastic. Think of goodmama's, but less squishy and more absorbent, and more TRIM. Here's a picture of my LO in the dipe:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_U8qFb-b7qNk/Sj6yNnAS0TI/AAAAAAAAAQo/eO4JQWocx6s/s512/DSC04307.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 384px; height: 512px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_U8qFb-b7qNk/Sj6yNnAS0TI/AAAAAAAAAQo/eO4JQWocx6s/s512/DSC04307.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Nice, right? Now, for the cheap catch: how about bargain diapers for $6.75? Shipping starts at $2.50 for the first diaper and a dollar for each additional. They are mostly girly, but check them out <a href="http://hyenacart.com/2cute2resist/index.php?c=0&p=45565">here</a>. I got an All-in-One, and it appears she has a few pockets. You can't really beat less than $10 per diaper. And at that price, get two!Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-67231029304208032932009-08-31T23:17:00.000-07:002009-09-01T22:17:08.435-07:00It's the sales!Well, I wanted to wait to post this (I need my diapers, too ya know?) BUT, I wanted to let you know about the sales going on around the fluff sphere. <a href="http://www.cottonbabies.com/index.php?cPath=51">BumGenius</a>? Seconds sale. They include inserts. $12. Twelve dollars. Yup. Go to <a href="http://www.cottonbabies.com/index.php?cPath=51">cottonbabies.com</a> and check out their FREE, (that's right, FREE) tab fix kits.<br />Next up, one of the ladies in my diaper circle group has opened up her own store, <a href="http://www.sweetbabybottoms.com/">sweetbabybottoms.com</a>. And right now until September 5th, if you spend over $50, you can get 20% off AND free shipping (in the US) using the code "CRAZY". Don't have over $50 worth to get? That's okay; she's still offering FREE SHIPPING. No code needed. Crazy, huh?<br />Speaking of free shipping (I love free shipping), Christine over at <a href="http://www.esbaby.net/shop/">essential saltes baby</a> is offering free shipping this week your order. It's also good through Saturday.<br />Have fun shopping!<br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><em></em></span><em></em>Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-16663163260060562322009-08-28T11:42:00.000-07:002009-08-28T22:40:54.939-07:00Baby, Half off!How does a AIO for 10 bucks sound?

Every weekday morning (sorry if you are reading this on Saturday,) they have gaga deals. Each hour, at the top of the hour, they present some item for sale, at retail price. Then, as the hour ticks away, so does the price. So, after a half hour, the item would be 50% off. You do still have to pay a shipping charge if the item is less than $99. And, they have completely random items, but all of them are their in-store stock, and they do carry brands like <a href="http://www.babyearth.com/organic-baby-products.html?category=109&page=all">bumgenius, fuzzibunz, and bumkins</a>.

They've (and us as consumers) have decided to go with snaps instead. SOOOOOOO, if you're like me, you've seen BumGenius AIO diapers with hook and loop closures go on clearance across the internet. Uh-huh. Well I found them for HALF off. That's right BG AIOs for <span style="font-weight: bold;">$12.95</span>. Wow. There seems to be limited <a href="http://hyenacart.com/CoolClothDiapers/index.php?c=15">selection</a>, but shipping seems reasonable ($2.50 for the first) and they are available in all sizes <a href="http://hyenacart.com/CoolClothDiapers/index.php?c=15">here</a>, at the Cool Cloth Diapers Online Shop.<br /><br />How's that for clearance?Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-6168069323990625752009-08-17T23:39:00.000-07:002009-08-18T00:06:33.181-07:00Did you see it?On Saturday, August 15, there was a sale at <a href="http://shop.thegoodmama.com/">goodmama</a>.

Find other mamas who use cloth diapers. <a href="http://clothdiaperblogging.ning.com/">Cloth Diapering Bloggers</a> has been founded. Our first carnival is what you wish you would have known then that you know now.<br /><br />I CD both my girls, and Jo is now 4 years old. With her, I used a diaper service. OH MY GOSH. You're telling me that I could have investing in goodmamas, or bumgenious and then I wouldn't have had to buy any for Vi? *Smacks forehead several times.*<br /><br />You see, I'm afraid of poop. Well, not just poop, but most bodily fluids. Throw up, spit, blood, you name it, it pretty much grosses me out. I mean it. If a toilet is about to overflow, I run and hide. I didn't even change my first diaper until after Jo was 5 weeks old. (Yeah, my hubby IS that great.)<br /><br />But, if I would have know how E A S Y it is to wash cloth diapers, I could have saved hundreds of dollars on new diapers for #2. I hung on to the diaper covers, and they are still in great shape. And I washed those. Seriously, what was I thinking?<br /><br />I was thinking: I can't do this. No one has time to wash cloth diapers. I don't have the room to store them. I don't know what I'm doing.<br /><br />Ha! Now I have two kids, and it's really easy to have Vi in cloth. It's even easier than a service. Besides, I get to pick out the cutest diapers for her and I get to use them again and again. (And they don't feel like they were baked by an industrial cleaning solution!)<script src=”http://www.mcklinky.com/linky_include_basic.asp?id=1980″ type=”text/javascript”></script>Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104749641576438344.post-67857603801345553682009-07-16T10:33:00.000-07:002009-07-16T10:41:23.418-07:00Have ya met...?I'm a fan of that show, <span style="font-style: italic;">How I met your mother</span>. There's a point where one friend is trying to get another friend "out there" in the dating world. He say's "Hi, have you met Ted?" and then scampers off. I'm going to do that for you with the world of cloth diapers. I'm going to introduce you to a website that I have heard about and use myself. So, here we go:<br />Hi! Have ya met <a href="http://www.diaperpin.com/home.asp">diaper pin</a>? It's a site for cloth diaper reviews. Go explore.<br />But, REALLY go to the <a href="http://www.diaperpin.com/forum09/announcements.asp">Sales and Announcements</a> page.

Rather than overhaul our warehouse organization system, I'm bringing back the super-popular buy any two regular serged fitteds, getone free in a serged spectacular sale! <a onclick="onClickUnsafeLink(event);" href="http://www.thegoodmama.com/" target="_blank">http://www.thegoodmama.com/</a></div><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 468px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 60px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.thegoodmama.com/sergedsaleblue.gif" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div>The sale is calculated for the prices of the regular print and obvfitteds, so when you buy a cotton velour fitted, your savings is evengreater! Try it and see! And remember all goodmama diapers are made in the United States byfairly paid US workers, mostly women, from mostly US-made organic materials.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Not only are they good diapers, but you can feel good about them too,and now you can get them at fantastic prices. Stock up, you and your baby deserve it. With these prices you can have a nice big stash for a large laundry rotation. With these prices, there'sno reason not to try cloth diapering. With these prices, there's no reason not to have the best!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Yup. I think that says it all.

That's right <a href="http://www.cottonbabies.com/">Cotton Babies</a> came out with a BumGenius with fleece instead of suedecloth. She then found them somewhere and bought 6. Great I said, but next time don't pay shipping. Even better, get a DEAL. Like this one:<br />If you get 6 BG Fleece diapers from <a href="http://www.kellyscloset.com/bumGenius-30-one-size-cloth-diapers-with-FLEECE-Limited-Edition_p_3570.html">KellysCloset.com</a>, the total comes to $105. THEN, at checkout write "<strong>FREE BG Tee</strong>" and let them know if you have a boy or girl and indicate 2 sizes that you would be willing to accept.<br />So, that's means 6 diapers and one BumGenius tee or onesie, like the one below, all for $105. Come on, you know they have a good resale value. And they ARE Limited Edition.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.kellyscloset.com/assets/images/bumgenius-threads-logo-onesie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.kellyscloset.com/assets/images/bumgenius-threads-logo-onesie.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Shawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679492050682880086noreply@blogger.com0
