The Spendthrift's Progress

Inventory: Diapers

Our diaper stash

• Chinese Prefolds (CPF) - 19. 18 purchased new, one from a consignment shop. One of the cheaper diapering options, I'm much fonder of these than I thought I'd be, especially now that I broke down and got a couple of Snappis. Not really worth purchasing used, as the cost per diaper is almost the same as when purchased new.
• Kushies Ultra All-in-Ones (AIOs) - 11. 6 used, 5 new, all purchased on eBay. Not as fancy or nice as some of the high-end handmade AIOs, but great for on the go despite their bulk. Not the best nighttime diaper. I probably could have got away with just the 6 I started with.
• Kushies Classics - 2. Purchased new. Supposedly, you can use these without the wrap, but I don't recommend it. See above, but subtract some from the on-the-go points.
• Kushies Cuddlers - 2. Found in a box of baby and toddler clothes sent down by one of my cousins. I just found these two days ago. So far, they're merely okay, but hey! Free diapers.
  
• Polar Babies hemp super prefold - 1. Purchased at consignment, used exclusively for nighttime diapering. Absorbs like whoa, very bulky. This is your average prefold on 'roids.
• Kissaluvs fitted - 1. Purchased at consignment. Low rise, but feels wet fast. Wouldn't repurchase.
• Gauze flats - 7. Purchased at consignment. I really like these with a hemp doubler for when I need a smaller diaper profile.
• Growing Greens hemp fitted diaper - 5. Purchased on eBay. This is a very nice diaper. A fleece liner or doubler makes it nearly perfect, and if I can find a wool cover that will fit over it, I'm thinking of dubbing it the best diaper ever.
• Random handmade looking paisley contour thing - 1. Found in the same box as the Kushies Cuddlers. Seems to function fairly well.
• Flannel thing my mother swears is a diaper, but I think is a blanket - 1. See name for description. However, it works, so I'll buy into her reality for the time.

At the moment, I'm doing diapers every other day. I could reduce this to every three days, but I'd be using the diapers I like least all the time towards the end.

In other news, the girl is teething again, which means we had a hard time getting her to sleep. All she's wanted to do for the last few days is nurse and chew, though thankfully, not at the same time.
