If these were rumparooz cloth diapers or some hemp prefolds, I'd be making accounts like crazy to buy as much as I could. These are cool, but if you really want to be green (and cheap), cloth is the way to go! It really isn't that hard either. Tempted to buy some of these as back up for when my little man gets a diaper rash (no cream allowed with cloth)., but I'll probabaly pass. Still using my disposables I bought at the beginning of December.

If you have an account for Sam's. You can get 156 count Huggies brand diapers for $38.00. Not a bad deal on woot, but Sam's a pretty good place to shop.

We wanted to have a Seventh Generation kid, but it was too expensive. We found the Huggies from Costco a good deal, and they don't seem to be scented like Pampers which my daughter got very bad rashes from. We did have to splurge on the Seventh Generation wipes as they were the only ones that didn't give her a rash. (We had a lot or rash problems, unfortunately she was in daycare full time so cloth wasn't really an option).

Anyway, even if you don't have kids, you should pick up a case at this great price and donate them to your local food bank. They need them.

These are great diapers. Rarely do they leak and we don't ever have issues with rashes etc. I've been using them forever, my first kid used them, she's now 8 and now using them on my almost 3 year old. You won't be disappointed. HOWEVER, the price is nothing amazing. We buy from amazon, using their subscribe and save program and pay $33 for a case, a dollar more, with shipping included, than is offered here. Amazon also offers free shipping.

We bought 7th Generation a while ago for our now 2 yo, and her skin immediately responded with an allergic reaction we did not see with the typical Huggies and Pampers. We switched back, then tried them again later only to see the same results.

Now my daughter is extremely suceptible to eczima, so i would regard ourselves to be the exception to the rule. That said, the takeaway for us was that its always better to buy the first pack of a new diaper as Jumbo to be sure they work for you, then go all in on cases once you know you are good (for fit, allergins, style, etc..)

I signed in basically to say that I AM SO HAPPY that my kid is not in diapers anymore.

Also for the sake of relevancy I will say that we did use 7th generation for his duration of self-soilage (minus a few months of cloth at the beginning). They worked great. He actually had more leaks using other diapers than these, but of course YMMV. And we could always count on these to not chafe his underparts (unlike some of the standard brands).

Wow, you are pretty good! We use pocket BumGenius cloth diapers after trying the prefolds and even the Kissaluvs and not liking them. I can +1 on the sprayer though. You can even use it as a bidet if you don't mind the cold water!

So at 20 cents a diaper you would spend about 600 dollars in 1 year on your average kid. Wow!

So happy that I spent 300 dollars on my cloth diapers and I can reuse them for 2 years plus if I have another kid use them on the next kid!

Didn't you know that cloth diapers are a scam? The $300 you save versus throwaway diapers is used up in electricity and water when washing your soiled diapers.

You know you won't be using these for a year or so. Size 3 or 4 are for about the time they grow out of the car seat. Enjoy the baby and have a great time.

Diaperswappers.com is a great place to buy them used. Lots of times people try out a diaper and hate what I love. We do Fuzzi Bunz with prefolds. As they get older they sue less. You also get more sleep and can do more wash for them too

I'll stick with my Target brand diapers. No leaks, no rashes and less expensive. I've never paid $.20 a diaper. If you look for deals, you average .10-.15 a diaper.
At $150 a year, I prefer the convenience of disposable to cloth any day.

i get the big boxes of LUVS at BJs. no leaks, no mess, and cheaper than the recycled stuff. I never understood the fascination with cloth diapers. Don't you do enough laundry without having to wash a dozen nasty cloths every couple days?

To each their own, whatever. Cloth diapers are for people who think they are "helping the environment". Just like those hippies in Priuses.

Kids are supposed to be in carseats until approx 65 pounds. the size 4 diapers go up to 30 something pounds. He'll be out of the size 4 WELL before outgrowing a carseat.

I always find accuracy to be such a helpful tool when comparing things...

I don't know about you, but my "average" kid does not use 3000 diapers a year (which is average of over 8 each day). And not all diapers are 20 cents each, as I'm sure you know. With the more reasonable numbers of 5 diapers a day (yes, I know they use more than that when they are babies, but they also use fewer than 5 when they are older) at 18 cents each, you're down closer to $300 per year.

Does the $300 you spent on cloth diapers include the other costs associated with cloth diapering, like energy costs for extra loads of laundry, special detergents, inserts, rubber pants, diapers that must be replaced, etc? Time is hard to put a dollar amount on, but that's a factor too.

Let's also not forget that cloth diapering may not be a good option for (among others): people whose kids are in daycare, people with really hard water, people who don't have the money for the upfront costs, people whose children are "supersoakers" etc.

I have no problem with cloth diapering, only people who are self-righteous about it.

I haven't really had much experience with the 'earth friendly' brands; but I've used my sister's kid's leftovers (different brands)on my kid. They were sitting around unsealed for over a year and they were fine.

These should be sealed in a bag (in the box) and should last a few years.

Good for you, btw! I don't think I'd have a problem using cloth at first; but once they start eating solid food; YIKES!

Awesome We 've cloth diapered exclusively at home or for day errands/trips since my oldest was 10 months old, (he's five now). I agree cloth is great (obviously); however, we've always use Seventh Generation when we're on trips or vacations.

This is a great price! I checked amazon mom first and even after shipping woot's got 'em beat. We've got a week long vacation coming up in a month so I bought one box in our toddler's current size (3) and one box in the next size up for future trips.

Thanks woot!

I began using Huggies Natural diapers for my daughter last April. I was disappointed after I received a package of poorly constructed diapers that leaked, so I tried Seventh Generation. The first package of Seventh Generation was great. After that, my second package was leaky. I have since gone back to Huggies and am glad I did. I rarely have a leaky one with Huggies and one of the main problems with Seventh is that they have them a lot.

Cloth is great, but Huggies Natural are better at maintaining a rash free diaper. Seventh Generation has some of the same qualities, but unfortunately, they leak like crazy from package to package. Good luck.

If you change the babies diaper enough times per day, as you should... You will find that you use 8 diapers on average per 24 hours. If you get your diapers at a reasonable price of .26 per diaper... you are spending $759.20 per year on diapers. If you don't use between 6-8 diapers per day, you need to be locked up. You are causing your child to get rashes, urinary tract infections, and they are sitting in poop a lot.

Here is a great trick for saving money on Diapers. Get a free Amazon Mom account on Amazon. Buy diapers with a subscription for an extra percentage off. Only have them ordered for every six months. When you are running out, order more. You can change your subscription anytime you'd like. You can order early, skip an order, or cancel all at the push of a button.

Huggies free n clear unfortunatly doesn't live up to it's name for my little one. He gets painful bleeding welts diaper rashes from one time peeing in most disposable diapers(including huggies free n clear), seventh generation are the only ones we've used disposable that don't do that to him. I've heard from friends with similar sensitive bottem babies that earth's best is good too, but I've never used them so can't comment. I would think if u change them enough you wont get leaks; with his sensitivity we check & change diapers a lot. Never had a leak or a rash yet in seventh generation & our toddler is a year & a half old. We still cloth overnight even on trips so can't say how they'de do overnight.

My oldest child has medical conditions that affect his immune system (which is why we started cloth diapering to lessen chemical exposure) & I always felt much better using Seventh generation on him then more main-stream disposable diapers.

Either way I personally am extremely greatful these diapers exist & very thankful woot did a deal on them

I have an 11 month old that is going through teething, etc. so changing diapers 7+ times a day is a must to keep rashes away. If you aren't changing your child that much, then so be it, but for me the up-front cost savings is a real deal.

I spend $10 more on my quarterly water bill thanks to my HE washer. I line dry whenever possible, and when it isn't I have an energy efficient gas dryer. If my gas/electric bill has gone up $5 a month, then that would probably be an exaggeration, but for your sake, let's say that I spend a total of $100 more on my water/gas/electric than before my daughter was born. That's just year 1 of it... what happens when my daughter doesn't potty train until she's 2? How about my wife and I have another child and we can reuse the diapers on child #2? All money in the bank, so to speak...

Aside from the personal savings on my wallet, I fell a lot better not putting harmful chemicals against my child's body, I save on the landfill output, and the cloth diapers of today are much more stylish than the old clear plastic cover/white "towel" looking diapers that I was in as a kid.

I have never had a leak or blowout, and some of the diapers we have when paired with wool pants/shorts breathe 300% better than any other diaper out there.

My wife and I also save additional money as we use cloth wipes rather than the disposables... for $10, we purchased really cheap washcloths from Target and use natural oils and water to make a wipe solution. The "wipes" easily get washed and dried with the diapers.

At least these disposables are less chemically laden and have a bit smaller footprint on the environment.

One last thing: Do you all know that it is illegal to throw away a disposable diaper that has solid waste in it? My hope is that minimally, you dump your baby's #2 in the toilet!
