Swaddlebees Econappi one-size pocket (retail $26.95--pics are small setting, large setting, and inside):
Happy Heiny's size small pocket (retail $18.95):
Bum Genius size small all-in-one (retail $15.95):
Econobum one-size cover and prefold (retail $9.95--pics are small setting, large setting, and inside with prefold):
And with the diapers, I also got some Flip diaper disposable inserts ($4.95), Bum Genius doublers ($4.95), odor remover ($5.99) and bottom cleaner ($7.95):
Retail total: $95.64. Again, I paid: $39.80. Total savings: $55.84!! The diapers alone retail $71.80, so even if I don't use the "extras" I got a great deal. Gotta love Cyber Monday. ;)
My first thoughts (keep in mind these are from someone who has never actually used a cloth diaper on a baby):
Swaddlebees: Love it. Inside is really soft. The insert is cool, it folds and snaps to the different sizes. HOWEVER, the smallest setting on the insert is still really big when trying to put it into the smallest setting of the diaper. Will likely need to order different inserts for small size.
Happy Heiny's: Again, inside is SUPER soft. Love that it's purplish despite my requesting boy colors (didn't know baby girl was a girl when I ordered!). Didn't know that Happy Heiny's pockets do not include insert, so will have to order some. Not a biggy...have to get inserts for the Swaddlebees anyway.
Bum Genius: Hazen's favorite. He wants them ALL to be like THAT. It's like a disposable diaper, nothing special to do to it. Put it on, take it off, put it in pail. However, all-in-ones (AIOs) take a long time to dry. So I've convinced him to allow me to order extra Bum Genius one-size pocket diapers as opposed to AIOs. Will be just as easy for him since I'll be the one dealing with the insert anyway.
Econobum: I like the cover. It really does get pretty small, which impresses me. Still not sure it will fit a newborn, but I've read great reviews on the cover as a whole, so hopeful it will at least contain the messes when baby fits in it. The prefold is HUGE and I'm sure that won't comfortably fit a newborn. Even with folding it in the diaper the way the instructions suggest, it's huge and doesn't really fit well in the cover. Will be using the Green Mountain Diapers prefolds with this cover...the econobum one can be a burp cloth. ;)
Flip inserts: Was debating whether I should try the Flip system (covers with disposable or reusable inserts) but now I'm committed! Hoping to be able to use the covers with disposable inserts when traveling, and then use the reusable inserts otherwise. Also wondering if they will work as a cover for prefolds. Hmmm.
Other stuff: don't know much about it! I like the doublers, but my newborn prefolds can be used as doublers as well. So I might have an abundance of doublers! The deodorizer and bottom cleaner are things I haven't seen before, so need to figure out what they are and how likely I am to use them.
