A Journey Into Cloth

Hello, my name is Beth! I am a SAHM to five boys and a cloth diapering mama. I am going to be keeping you entertained and up-to-date while Brandy takes a break from blogging. I have been using cloth diapers for over a year now and loving it.

As I look back onto my last year of cloth diapering, I am amazed at how far I’ve come. When my son was born, I wasn’t really thinking about cloth diapers. I had three huge boxes of Huggies in my nursery that I received at my baby shower and another huge box of wipes to go with it. I can’t exactly remember what prompted me to start browsing the internet for cloth diapers. Perhaps it was just my desire to give my baby the very best, or maybe it was the thought of all those disposables sitting in a landfill for the next 300 years. Whatever it was, I’m really glad I made that first step.

Of course, a mom who knows nothing about cloth diapering can get completely lost and overwhelmed looking through the internet and seeing today’s selection of cloth diapers. Who knew that there were so many cool and neat diapers! That was my exact thought at the time – “neat.” LOL. I had no idea that cloth diapers were as easy as stuff in an insert, put the diaper on, and go. As far as I knew, you had to use pins and swish them in the toilet. I was thinking “diaper service”. That’s when I found the BumGenius one size pockets.

BumGenius was my “gateway” diaper so to speak. It showed me how easy and fun cloth diapering could be. Not only were they easy to use, they were super cute! I found myself becoming addicted to cloth diapers. I wanted to try every kind I could, and the cuter the better. Now, a year later, I have settled on the diapers I like the best. And yes, BumGenius is still one of them. I love them for nights and going out of the house for long periods of time. Other than that, I have found the love for fitted diapers. Together, my pockets and fitteds make the perfect combo for me and my son.

The thing I love the best about BumGenius is that I know they will last my son for many years. As a one size diaper, I know they can really grow with them. And with the new BumGenius colors out, I have a reason to buy more! I have to say, these diapers have made my journey into cloth diapering enjoyable, simple, and fun!
