Diaper butt

I've never considered myself "crunchy". The first two times I was a parent, I didn't know there were titles for parenting styles. "Crunchy" means more natural...as in granola? Crunchy moms cloth diaper, make their own baby food, use a baby sling instead of stroller, delay or sometimes do not vaccinate, etc etc.
I'm certainly a mix between crunchy and not, and here's one instance where I think I could easily be crunchy.
We've always used disposable diapers, but my friend Darcy gave us this starter set of G-diapers--which are cloth liners with flushable inserts. Regular disposables take over 500 YEARS to break down, where as these flush easily and don't have any chlorine in them, so they're supposed to be much easier on the environment. It's like a hybrid between Pampers and those thick folded things your mom put on you with safety pins.
Anyway, A is finally big enough to use the set we had, and I have to say I REALLY like them.
the covers are cute, trim, and reallllllly soft.
the liners are easy, quicky and definitely not messy. it takes maybe 30 seconds more to change one of these than a regular disposable, because you have to change the liner. If I bought enough of the covers, I could pre-fill them with liners and even that would be eliminated.
They're breathable, she hasn't had even a hint of diaper rash since I started using them and did I mention they are cute??


see??


Even Miss A likes them!
