More diaper chatter.

So, I was waiting to see how much I hearted the gDiapers before sending back the Babykicks Bumboo One Size Pocket Diapers that I ordered from Amazon.  I'm glad I didn't send them back, because it turns out even though I love the gDiapers for daytime, we need a naptime diapering solution!

I tried two pieces of gCloth for naps, but didn't get the absorbency I wanted (hopefully after the hemp wears in, it'll be more helpful).  I was using one gRefill and one piece of gCloth at naps, but Levi said that it wasn't an economical solution (those gRefills are EXPENSIVE!), and wanted to just use regular sposies.  We already use overnight sposies at night, and I didn't want to throw away any more diapers than I needed to, so I said to heck with it, I'll try the Babykicks Bumboo One Size Pocket Diaper that I already own.   I have two, but only opened one in case I don't like them.  I can send the other one back!

They are SOOOOO soft and delicious on the inside!  The hemp insert does have to be prepped, but I figured I can layer gCloth with some other Babykicks hemp inserts I have, and see how that works for a nap tomorrow.  For his last nap today, he's in a sposie.  =(  Ah well...tomorrow is another day.

But the gDiaper-ing is going super well.  The gCloth is nice and absorbent, and the little gPants are TOO dang cute.  Too cute!  I plan on modifying the more plain covers if I can find some cute appliques.  We'll see how that goes.  I'll write up a full review on the gDiapers after some more use.

Stay tuned to see how the Bumboo Pocket works out!

I have so much to learn about all of these new cool cloth diapers! If I told you I use OLD School CD's, I know you would never believe it, but really I do! I need to get up to date!
