I made this post since I have seen a lot of newcomers come in with questions. When I first started cloth diapering I found it very overwhelming. The side bar does had a lot of useful tips, but there is always room for more information. I am 10 months in and still finding new brands or sites I hadn't heard of and think to myself, I wish I new about them before I bought these others. I have compiled a list of sites where you can buy diapers. Some sites only sell their brands, others sell many brands. I also made a chart of the diaper brands I am aware of and the styles they offer. I considered adding prices, but prices change.

@ayu415 For homemade diapers there are tons on Hyena Cart. Bagshotrow Bamboo and Bububebe being some of my favorites when I used cloth with my daughter.

 

[ayu415]

@marlenedean I added the link. Thanks! I have heard good things about them, they were unfortunately out of my comfort price range

 

[marlenedean]

@ayu415 The Bagshot Row Bamboo dipes are a bit pricey for their worth imo somewhat akin to Goodmama diapers they are very cute and had a cult following making prices higher. The BubuBebes however are worth every single penny! My daughter was a heavy wetter and these were the only diapers that would hold up overnight for her as a toddler. Plus they're soo squishy and soft. Hyena Cart also has a place for selling used called Spot's Corner, I've had good luck finding both brands for cheap there in the past.

 

[ayu415]

@marlenedean Neat, I will have to check them out! My kid is a heavy wetter so he has to be super stuffed at night. If there was a trimmer option out there I am all for it.

@ayu415 Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! I saved this post so I can go over it with my husband later

 

[ayu415]

@earburner No problem, it was fun gathering all the info.

@danman02 Neat, the table may not be 100% accurate. I think I noticed on one brand I marked h/b prefolds/flat and that was meant to be fitted. I tried to proof check everything but I sometimes overlook mistakes in my own work. It was the bambinex brand. Don't think it is easy to buy here though so may not matter much.

@ayu415 Fabulous work!

 

[ayu415]

@murunwa Thank you. It kept me busy instead of buying them. I have a set up that works but I still want more hah!

 

[murunwa]

@ayu415 Oh man do I know the feels. I convinced myself to rehab my BG 3.0s instead of selling them and funding new ones. So many brands I still want to try out!
