Another "Have you lost your mind!" vote here. I tried pf's when dd was little and just never felt the love. I even have some beautiful hand dyed ones - but I just never got the hang of them. I love my fitteds. OV especially!

I do love my fitteds. I really worked hard to find the ones i wanted - they are all ov, bv or oc and they really are quite lovely...just a hyena hiatus for a little bit.

i just ordered a hand dyed & stamped prefold from alphabet soup! I haven't felt the embellished PF love since Peace Love Prefolds - so I'm uber excited to maybe build up the other half of my stash!

Oh, I could never simplify. I go back and forth, although we're using mostly fitteds and wool now that it's cold out. I love variety though, and I believe that diaper changes should be as fun as possible. If that means I have a million different types of diapers in my stash, so be it! :D


oh, totally. when dh questions whether we are actually saving money by cding (we are NOT, btw lol ) i just remind him that it is also about helping the planet, ds's booty comfort and the fact that i want to enjoy diaper changes Thumbs up

hmmm...... ditto what Jenn said. especially the mood part. lol. :D

I just use fitteds and pockets--my kiddo is so humongous that the size of prefold I have to use on him is ridiculously bulky Smile

I am another with a combo stash. Although I voted for prefolds.

I started with a stash of only prefolds, because I was sure it wouldn't be cost effective to use anything else (still debatable!). Next I introduced fuzzi buns at night, and before I knew it we were into longies. Fitteds have been the last stop for me. I love them, but I still send the prefolds to daycare during the day, since that's what the workers are used to. I don't know how anyone can find a fitted more complicated than a snappi, but they do!

Hmmm. I use fitteds and wool when we go out, I have a few aios and pockets in case she wears a dress. I love pfs around the house though. Especially pretty ones.
