Adventures In Cloth Diapering

Alright.  So I'm not exactly a "newbie" to the cloth diapering scene but I'm certainly not a seasoned expert yet either.  I'm still learning.
Let me start this blog off right - letting you know what my cloth diaper "stash" consists of.
Bought from CottonBabies.com:
3 Thirsties Duo Wraps (velcro)
20 Indian Prefolds
3 Econobum diaper covers
6 Bum Genius one size inserts
2 Snappis

What I love about Cotton Babies is that they do FREE SHIPPING.  Yes, I know, other sites have this as well.  IF you buy $50+ for example.  Cotton Babies does it for EVERY order no matter how little or how much you spend.  Which is why I bought toddler size Snappis from them later on.

And the last portion of my cloth diaper collection.  Bought from Diaper Jumction.
6 SmartiPants os pocket diapers (snaps)

Now, I like Diaper Junction.  I just didn't like that my only order ever I picked 3 different colors for my diapers.  Two in each color.  Well, they didn't have one of the colors.  They offered to withhold the entire order until the color I wanted came in stock (they were unsure of how long that would be) or I could change my color preference.  I opted for the latter, I just couldn't wait that long to get my first cloth diapers.  I would've preferred they send me all but the two of the color that was out of stock & send me those once they were available.  However, I do understand that this would've cost them more money.  Seriously though, thoroughly satisfied customer is better than partially right?  Despite the extra cost?  Anyway, I digress.  I did like that they contacted me via private messaging on their site.  Convenient.  I didn't like that I didn't get an email notice of this message though.  Luckily for me, I was eager to find out the progress of my order & checked the site daily so I noticed when they messaged me. 

I've had these diapers nearly a year now.  So I think I've had them long enough to give my personal review on the products.  I'll leave that for a separate blog post.
