OK so after cloth diapering 2 boys in a span of over 2 years now, and after testing many many cloth diapering products as well as many other baby products I thought I would share with you what I would purchase if I were to walk into my own store knowing what I know now.
First let me start off by saying that all of the products I carry I have liked and used on my own kids. Any products tested that don't meet my family's needs, I do not add to my store. However, that said, if I did not own a cloth diaper store, I probably would not have all of these products in my home :) So if I were to walk into my store right now, here is what I would purchase.
In the cloth diapering section of my store
My daytime diapers would be a mix of ...
1) 10 Fuzzi Bunz One-Size Pocket Diapers
2) 8 Annie Marie Padorie Stay Dry All-In-One Diapers
3) 6 Thirsties Duo Pocket Diapers
My night time diapers would be a mix of ...
1) 2 Sustainablebabyish organic bamboo fitted diaper
2) 1 Bamboozle fitted diaper
3) 2 Stacinator So Simple Covers
4) 1 Sustainablebabyish knit wool covers (coming soon to my store!)
5) 1 Bear Bottom Night Weight Fleece Cover
6) 2 Motherease Absorbent bamboo liners for extra absorbency in the bamboozle diaper as needed
My choice of diapering accessories would be ...
1) 12 Annie Marie Padorie Microfleece Liners (for my night time diapers to keep skin dry)
2 Bummis Biosoft disposable liners (to use at daycare)
3) 2 Wahmies Diaper Pail liners to store soiled diapers
4) 2-3 wetbags for outings and for daycare use (1 JamTots or Fuzzi Bunz wetbags and 1 Planetwise wet/dry bag)
5) Nellie's Laundry detergent (100 loads)
6) Eucalan no rinse wool wash for my wool covers
7) Magic Stick All Natural Ointment
8) 2 packs of Fuzzi Bunz Wonder Wipes
9) bumGenius bottom cleaner (for my diaper bag)
10) Fuzzi Bunz changing pad (for my diaper bag)
Other
1) 2 Monkey Doodlez swim diapers
In the baby/Mama section of my store
For other baby and Mam products I would definitely get the following ...
1) All Natural baby brush (for my babies delicate head from 0-12months)
2) 2 Peppa Tino dolls (1 for home and 1 for daycare)
3) Pippalily toy strap (very handy to strap any toys to your stroller, carseat, etc).
4) Baltic Amber Teething necklace
5) 2 of each Perlimpinpin Sleep sacs (deluxe plush for fall/winter and the bamboo for spring/summer) - I adore these!!
6) Maman Kangourou Stretchy Wrap baby carrier (my ultimate favorite carrier for front carries from newborn until approx. 25lbs!)
7) 4 packs of Motherease bamboo breast pads (love, love, love these!!)
8) MoboLeez breastfeeding hat (so adorable!)
9) Mommy Necklace - dangling donut
Ok, that's it!! I guess I would have a pretty big bill :) Actually my total if I bought all of the above would be approx. $1500 which is still a lot cheaper than buying disposable diapers for one child! So I would be able to sleep soundly at night without any guilt (at least for this shopping spree :)
Good night everyone ...
