Cloth Diaper Accessories Guide
October 17, 2016 3:11 pm | by

One of the great things about cloth diapering (besides these reasons, of course!) is that it plays so well into the now-trending “minimalist” way of life. Cloth diapering is SIMPLE, affordable, and significantly reduces waste! It is win-win-win for the minimalist-minded mama! There are, however, some accessories that are – for the most part – necessary to cloth diaper. These include reusable cloth wipes, a diaper pail or large wet bag, and diaper-safe detergent. That’s it! That’s all you’ll need (besides cloth diapers, of course) to successfully cloth diaper your child. This is your cloth diaper accessories guide. Our bumGenius Flannel

Real Mom Talk: Top Cloth Diapering Accessories
June 2, 2016 3:36 pm | by

  One of the best things about cloth diapers is that they are so simple to use! With cloth diapering, you really only need a handful of extra supplies and accessories to diaper your child from birth to potty-training! I’ll start with the essentials. In addition to a stash of roughly 20-24 cloth diapers, you will need reusable wipes (bumGenius Flannel Wipes have held up extremely well for me), a diaper pail or large wet-bag, and diaper-safe detergent. That’s it! That’s all you need for a no-frills, minimalist approach to cloth-diapering. My initial cloth-diaper stash took up just one basket,

Econobum Newborn Covers Review
January 21, 2016 8:43 pm | by

I’m going to be honest: I wasn’t planning to use cloth diapers on my newborn. I wanted to use disposables during the first few weeks because it can be stressful bringing a new baby home and getting everything — and everyone — acclimated. With two kids, I rarely got a moment to myself, and now that I have three, spare time is pretty much non-existent. Needless to say, after two weeks of using disposables with my newborn, I was done. I needed a new solution because I couldn’t keep running to the store multiple times a week to get more diapers.

Cloth Diaper Seconds
January 18, 2016 6:23 pm | by
Prepping Cloth Diapers

What are Cloth Diaper Seconds? Cloth diaper Seconds are diapers with minor flaws or cosmetic issues. Seconds are just a  nickname for second-quality products. You may also hear them called “factory seconds” in other industries. So, when a bumGenius, Flip or Econobum diaper is referred to as a “Second,” that means it didn’t quite meet our quality control standards. Often, diapers are considered Seconds because of uneven seams, dirt marks, or other small issues that do not affect how the diaper works. In fact, Seconds work just as well as first-quality diapers, and many families stock up on these products when they’re available. Benefits
