james is letting me buy more diapers and a few wool soaker / cover for alex to use at night time. i’ve read so many awesome things about wool so now i get to try them.

wool are expensive. without diving right in, i bought a wool cover from sustainable babyish. i have read a lot of raves about how awesome they (sbish) are. one great thing about sbish is their “1 diaper 1 tree” philosophy. for every diaper you buy, a tree will be planted. the day after placing an order for that cover, i promptly placed another order for 2 organic bamboo fleece fitted in teal and sprout. these are supposed to be “magic” night time diapers. then i stumbled upon some sbish flats and doublers for what looked like a great price and bought those too. geesh, so much for trying not to spend so much…

now onto pockets – in the last few days, i bought a dozen various brands of one size pockets. since the days are getting warmer, i want to hang-dry the covers instead of tossing them in the dryer. we have 31 pockets in our stash and we wash about every 3 days. with the additional pockets, we can afford an extra day for the covers to dry. at least, that is my plan. i bought some cute cute swaddlebees econappis, rumparoos, knickernappis, and blueberry pockets (all used and said to be in great condition) off the FSOT.

i will take photos after everything arrives. here’s to many many days of fluffy mail!!

our pockets & one purple grobaby stash

i was browsing diaperswappers late one night and saw a post that fuzzi bunz is running a promotion through october 30th. if you buy any 9 one size pocket diapers, you’re eligible for a $40 worth of products from their list which include everything from xsmall diapers to pocket inserts.

at that time, our stash consist of 12 nubunz, 3 bumgenius, 1 grobaby (thanks tana!!), and 2 one size blueberries and 2 one size haute pockets that i just bought off the fsot (for sale or trade forum) but hasn’t arrive. we were washing every 2-3 days and figure i could definitely use some more pockets. plus, with doing the math, buying the 9 fuzzi bunz and with the $40, my new diapers would only cost me about $12.48 each including shipping! they would cost me if i buy them from the fsot new.

now, knowing me, i would shop around and compare prices before buying and i did exactly that. pittsburg cloth diapers gave me the best price with the $40 promotion. it cost me $137.29 (including 10% off) for 9 one size fuzzi bunz pockets.  with the $40 reward, i bought 2 more one size pockets and 4 microfiber inserts. total? i will be getting 11 pockets. $137.29 divided by 11 = $12.48 (not including the inserts)! they retail for $18.95 each. a great deal right?? you can say that again!

shipping from pittsburg cloth diapers was super fast! i’ve been using my fuzzibunz since saturday and i them! they are so cute on alex’s bum and work great…lol the only thing i wish i’d done differently? buy more of the red and orange colors (i only got 3 reds and 2 oranges).

we ordered some pockets to try out (arrived yesterday) and james loves them! he’s asking why i didn’t get pockets sooner…lol. these are nubunz and i got them off of ebay for about $7.92 including shipping each so they’re a great deal. it’s also made in the usa… two microfiber inserts are included with each pocket.

we’re still using sposies at night but i’m hoping to start using pockets soon. james’ is not too fond of the idea. hmm…

alex in nubunz pockets oh and i realized i have the nubunz on incorrectly in those photos.

our 12 nubunz pocket diapers

remember i was storing the diapers in this? i re-arrange some things around; that cube storage is now in the girls’ closet (forgot to take a photo) and i’m now using the shelves and bins below for alex’s diapers and clothes.

i love the light blues and greens. hey, our duvet and rocker are light blue. curtains are a lighter shade of green.
