I got a bunch more cloth diapers in the mail the last couple of days. It's like Christmas, woohoo! LOL.

The top pic is an overview of a few of them, the 2nd pic is a close up pic of my very favorite one, the zoo print. :D

Cute! Are the Fuzzi buns one-size a nice fit?

I don't know, I've never tried them. Those are old style size larges in the pic.

Sorry, I thought the ones with all the snaps at the top were the OS.

Oooo I played with a FBOS at Whole Foods this weekend. They are VERY nice looking dipes. And very cush. Lovely. Dreamy. But I still just don't 'get' the pocket dipe appeal.

Congrats on your fluffy mail Ruth! :D

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I've tried AIO's, fitted, and prefolds, and one size wonderoos, in addition to sized Fuzzi Bunz and the FB's are by far my favorite.

Ease of use: 3 times easier to put on than a prefold, especially for my husband

Resale value & durability: I resold some of my FB's recently. My FB's were considerably less trashed after 2 years of use than my fitteds and AIO's.

Cuteness: I love the array of different colors

As far as fitted dipes go, I figured that if I still had to do the extra step of putting on a cover, might as well go with the cheap prefold.

But hey, that's why we're all different. :D There's definitely no right or wrong way to CD, just whatever works for your family.

OH absolutely! :)

There is definitely an ease of use factor in AIOs and pocket dipes like FB. Spend the few moments after wash day to pre-insert all inserts and you're good to go. Grab n go!

I just don't like that I can't reuse the cover, kwim? That's my ONLY hang-up.

But ooooooo buddy was I ever drooling over those things. hehehe If I had $50 to spare, I very likely would have grabbed me a couple. They were THAT lovely. :D (adore that creamy, buttery, yellow shade mmmm)

Just wanted to chime in....I love getting diapers in the mail! I actually did splurge on a few of the one size FB. They are my new favs! Awesome fit! I've always used sized FB before and I think I like the one size better. :D (Although I think that might be partly due to the fact that the elastic has lost some of its stretchy-ness in some of my sized ones.)

Those are beautiful, Ruth. Cloth diapers have come a long way since my kids were little. :-D

I love getting diapers in the mail! So exciting! So I have to say I love using pre-folds at home but for going out in public I like using the pocket diaps. They are just so much easier when trying to change little ones in a hurry.

Love the colors Ruth. I have never tried FB but I think I'm going to next round. They are so cute.

You can go online to http://www.diaperswappers.com and buy and sell used diapers on there. That's where I got the most, if not all of the dipes in that picture.
