Looking for other Cloth Diapering Blogs?

This is a great idea!  Head over to Fitteds and Pockets and Snappis, Oh My! to join or find other cloth diapering blogs!!!

I need someone to explain this to me...

So I don't understand the appeal of prefolds.  For those of you who use prefolds and covers and/or a snappi please explain this to me.  I just don't quite understand.  I don't think they fit as well and they are a little more difficult due to having to either fit the prefold with a snappi and then cover or trying to keep the prefold centered in the cover.  AIOs and Pockets just seem SOOO much easier to me.  Is it just my preference or am I not getting something?  I do admit that they absorb like there is no tomorrow...but I can't seem to get the hang of it.

Many have said that prefolds are easier with newborns because they go through so many diapers.  Again, I do not understand.  If I am already having this trouble with the prefolds and covers...why would I want to do MORE of this with a newborn...on an ever smaller/ harder to diaper child.

I am at a loss.  I need prefold and cover 101.  I just don't get it.  Please help.  I want to learn more!!!  I will take any and all tips, explanations, etc.  Teach me oh wise ones!!

On a lighter note.  I do have to say that my covers have been God sends lately.  My LO has been having rash problems...again...daddy is to blame...again.  So I have been using my covers and shells with GroVia BioSoakers...WOW!!!  I love those things!!!  If you have never tried them, check them out!  Great for when you need to put non cloth diaper safe cream on!!!  They are available from Kelly's Closet through my affiliate link on the right side of my blog.

A little too OCD? I think not...

So, I did diaper laundry last night.  And this morning I set forth to stuff all of my diapers.  Over the months that I have been cloth diapering, I have accumulated a couple of this and one of that and I have a ton of different diapers.  I take stuffing of the diapers very seriously.  Most of the inserts have no markings on them, and I am very conscious of what insert CAME with what diaper.  I can come up with all kinds of excuses.  One such excuse is the fact that I am doing cloth diaper reviews on here.  I want to give you the best review possible and to do this I must use and review the diaper as it was given to me; this means with the specific insert that it came with.  If I accidentally put a Fuzzibunz insert into a bumGenius diaper, how is this helpful to you???  I can use this as a rationale, but the truth is, I was OCD about this before I even decided to start the blog!!!

You can be happy with the knowledge though...all reviews are reviews of the diaper and insert that it comes with!!!  I know a lot of people (especially for night time use) will use a different insert with their diapers.  And as I venture into more night time use, I may find some of these tricks as well.  But for now, I want my reviews to be on what you get out of the package if you order one of these diapers.  I find that this is most helpful to you!

Note:  While I am OCD about this, I am not to the point where specific inserts go with a specific diaper.  Fuzzibunz inserts go into Fuzzibunz diapers...but I do not know which insert came in the purple Fuzzibunz or the yellow or the pink or the brown, etc!!!  I keep brands together, not specific diapers and inserts!  Although, I do keep the bG 3.0's and bG 4.0's separate as they are a little different!

Am I out on a limb here...or are there others of you that do this too???
