We've been using Thirsties since Thursday. So far, so good! I even just ordered a third diaper wrap cover (with my rewards points from Amazon) in Ocean Blue. Now we'll just need a red one to complete the rainbow!
I'm reasonably happy with the Thirsties so far. They are easy to use and do a pretty good job of keeping leaks in their place (ie. not leaking!). We have had a few leaks, but I'm still trying to figure out the best fit for the gussets to stay close. I like the adjustable height of the diaper, although we do have some saggy pants going on. I can't get it to fit *just* right, but it's getting better, and I'm sure that very soon we'll have it down. For some reason, I'm diapering-impaired, but after ten months, I'm starting to get the knack of it.
Niko's rash is all but gone - whether or not the cloth diapering is helping is debatable, but it has definitely saved two shopping bags full of disposable nappies from making their way into my trash (we have a half bag... he's gone through 4-5 since Thursday). I'd say we're well on our way to saving a bunch more from leaving the house (and more money from leaving my debit card!). Despite the initial investment of about $30 for 2 covers (plus my one from Amazon), it's well worth it. I would have spent $30 for 3 weeks of diapers anyways. Even if I can cut down from 35 diapers a week to say 7, I'm saving oodles, which is great for me and even better for my municipality's landfill.
Thirsties On! Excellent!
