Thirsties All
Posted on Friday, April 2nd, 2010 at 3:00 am
If you use cloth diapers please read?
I ordered this package, based on a recommendation:
http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=352
And I ordered a few bum genius 3.0 pockets one sizes too, based on several recommendations. I was thinking of ordering some more prefolds with thirsties covers, are they any good? And can someone give me the basic rundown on how to care for them? I keep hearing different things. I know to use good detergent like All Free and clear, but how many times do I wash them before using them, and what about when I wash them after they’re used?
Also, should I order more inserts for the bum geniuses, or for night use?
Thanks!
I love my prefolds and Thirsties DUO covers! I started CDing DD when she was 18 months. I thought pocket diapers where the way to go for me, but after buying some WAHM made ones that didnt work, I ended up with mostly prefolds and covers. I now I have 18 prefolds, 5 covers, 14 OS pockets that I use for nights and outings. I have hemp doublers (hemp absorbs way more than microfiber but it absorbs slowly so if baby pees fast, it can overflow) that I use for extra for nighttime.
As for washing, you will need to prep prefolds, meaning wash and dry them several times to get htem to their most absorbant. Chinese cotton you willl need to wash about 7 times. Indian cotton about 3-4 times.
After they are used, you can just throw them in the diaper pail (excl breast fed poo breaks apart in water, Like yogurt) so you dont ahve to pre-rinse unless you want to. There are a ton of diff ways to wash them, I mostly handwash in the tub so my method is different.
