September 15, 2013 8:19 pm | by

I took a three-day trip this weekend, which was much needed and very enjoyable. People go on vacation all the time, but there is a huge difference between my trip and other people who travel: I don’t have kids. Traveling with kids can seem like a huge task in itself, but traveling with kids who wear cloth diapers may be an even bigger one. Now, even though I don’t have children, I do know a thing or two about cloth diapers. I also know a few things about traveling with cloth diapers. If you’re planning on taking a trip or

Share the Love now shipping diapers to families in need. #sharethelove

When I switched to cloth diapers from disposables there was a lot I didn’t know.  One thing that didn’t even cross my mind was that cloth diapers not only have a life beyond one diaper change, they may even have a life beyond one child.  A friend of mine mentioned using the same set of diapers on both her first and second children.  Even more awesome is that the next go-around for your cloth diapers could be sharing the love with who may not have otherwise been able to afford diapers at all. As a Mom, especially in those early days,

Cloth 201: High Efficiency Wash Machines
September 8, 2013 3:50 pm | by

Washing cloth diapers in a high efficiency wash machine shouldn’t be any different than washing cloth diapers in a top loader or laundromat. Sometimes, however, it is different because HE wash machines use as little water and energy as possible to clean your laundry. This can be good and bad. When washing dirty cloth diapers, it is extremely important to be sure that your bumGenius, Flip and Econobum covers are getting cleaned enough. If not, your cloth diapers may start to stink due to detergent build up and left over messes, which could irritate your baby’s sensitive skin. Finding the
