My first purchase was a china cheapie off eBay. Sure glad I’ve figured out what works and don’t need to use that anymore!
Our first cloth diaper purchase was some imagine AIOs, shortly after that we bought our first BG. A 4.0 Chaplin.
Kissaluvs fitteds were our first diapers
My first purchase was 6 bum genius free times on cotton babies.com
My first was the Ecnobums kit.
My first purchase was Buttons via a co-op. Still my favorite brand!
My first cloth diaper was diaper service with prefolds under my Sweet Pea covers. After diaper service ended we continued with prefolds and added 7 Bum Genius 4.0s.
My first purchase 4 years ago was a bububibi purple diaper cover
My first purchase was a six pack of BG NBs!
We first used a stash of barely used 3.0s that we inherited from my best friend.
My first CD purchase was a Kawaii Good night heavy wetter and 2 Kawaii bamboo minky.
My first CD purchase was 6 used BG 3.0s (2 each of Ribbit, Grasshopper, & Clementine). Both of my sons have used them!
I was cloth diapered some but I don’t think there are any pics. My son’s first diapers were a bunch of assorted ones from a friend and were all pocket diapers.
First purchase (yet unused, as I’m due in May) – Flip diaper cover + inserts!
My first purchase was a butternut freetime, Irwin, and ribbit 4.0
The first cloth diapers I purchased was a stash (12) of BG 4.0, but the first diapers used were prefolds & Thirsties covers – my baby was just too tiny for one-size diapers!
BG 4.0
My first prefolds were from an Econobum trial kit. Still going strong 1.5 years later with my 4 m.o. & 2 y.o.!
The first diaper we ever used was a Thirsties Fab Fitted, when LO was one week old. When he was almost two months, he finally could fit in his Freetimes, and we haven’t looked back since!
my first cloth diapers were your 4.0’s!!
First cloth diaper purchase, used, was online.
New was from Cotton Babies 🙂
I used Econobum prefolds and covers for my son’s first cloth diapers around 1 month old. They seemed too big so I switched to other brands. As a toddler, I still use the econobum prefolds.
bumgenius pocket 4.0
My first cloth diaper was a Rumparooz pocket. I got 12 of them at my baby shower! 🙂
First purchase, and all but one of my stash, so far, is Glow Bug Cloth Diapers. (I just started cding last month)
My first CD’s were some pre-loved BG 3.0’s and I bought a new Albert Flip. That’s when i fell in love with BG.
My first cloth diaper was a BumGenius 4.0 in mirror that I bought after participating in a #clothdiapers twitter chat! Everyone was so helpful and encouraging! So glad I made the switch to cloth!
My first purchase was on black Friday and it was a kawaii heavy wetter pocket diaper
Our first was a prefold under a purple Thirsties Duo Wrap. Simple and adorable. Current fave? BG Freetime!
Ours was an Econobum cover and three prefolds.
the first one i bought for my son was used. i bought 1 alvababy and 2 china cheapies from a local mom who had just started potty training her last baby for $3 each.
I don’t have any pictures of my first purchase. Before my daughter was born I invested a lot of money in another brand of diaper. One of the purchases was from an online store that had a promotional free diaper when you spent over a certain amount. That free diaper was a BumGenius 4.0. By the time my daughter was 3-4 months old I had all of the other brand and purchased an entire stash of BumGenius and Flip products. Now we are expecting another baby this summer and he will be wearing BumGenius from day 1 🙂
I told my brother I wanted to try some cloth diapers and he bought me 7 bumgenius 4.0 to start. They are awesome and I think I’m becoming a cloth diaper addict!
My first cloth diaper purchase was a bamboo fitted diaper I bought on Zulily.
Clementine Flip!
mine was a 4.0
My first cloth purchase was Albert 4.0 w/snaps. We’ve been cloth diapering part-time since DD was born, 6 months, my stash isn’t big enough for full time.
My first cloth diaper purchase was Kushies AIOs and bumGenius 4.0s.
My very first cloth diaper purchase was for grasshopper and twilight 4.0 with a Babies R Us gift card from my shower. First time I had ever looked forward to a cloth diaper delivery! 4.0’s are still my favorite, and I would love to add a new color to my stash.
My first cloth diaper purchase was 4.0s.
My first cloth diaper purchase was 8 flips. I got lovelace, albert, clementine, moonbeam, twilight, dazzle, sassy, ribbit. Still use them 2yrs later & love them.
As a single mom I am so glad I invested in Cloth Diapers.
I have been using cloth diapers now for 2 months!
My favourite cloth diaper moment was when the nurses all went crazy over the diaper at the health centre and I started showing them the extras in my bag and showing them the Freetime and 4.0. Spreading the knowledge!
The first Diaper I used was Blossom. I documented the first day of colour changes with my camera. Babies first day in Cloth Diapers.
My mum has photos of me running around in cloths >.< I think she still has the squares in the cupboard. I even have the towel I came home with. Used it with my daughter
as a single mom I am so glad I invested in Cloth Diapers
ive only been CD for 5 months but I love it. My first 14 diapers were from my baby shower! So I havnt had to buy a ton but I have gotten up to about 25. I love the bum genius diapers I was given and have one of each style and love them all!
I ventured into cloth diapers over 10 years ago. I had some generic fitteds that were mostly polyester from eBay & Kushies AIOs. It was quite a learning curve. Glad there are much better options out there today! I am expecting my 5th in a few days.
My first CD purchase was a used stash of Kawaii pockets I found on Craigslist 🙂
The first cloth.diapers I bought and used were preloved gdiapers. 🙂
I think the first one we used was Lalabye Baby Ahoy!

I would love to try a Bum Genius and Flip diaper though! I have them on my registry!
First ever purchase was a wet bag, but going for bum genius! just starting my stash 🙂
My first cloth diaper-related purchase was a hanging black Planet Wise wet bag. By now it’s faded and leaky, but it served us well.
My first cloth diaper was actually a win! I won a bamboo fitted!
This is my first time cloth diapering but my first cloth diaper purchase was gdiaper newborn bundle. But am purchasing flip diapers soon 🙂
So when I was wanting to do. Cloth my sister was trying to discourage me saying it costs too much and each diaper is 35$ and it isn’t worth it. My mom said she did it when we were little with gerber prefolds and pins and plastic pants. So thankful I found something perfect for us in BumGenius and Flips. But we used econobum newborns for first diapers!
first fluffy butt was BG newborn AIO #Snapyourstash
My first purchase was a DiaperWraps brand cover for my diaper service prefolds in 1998.
OBGEs from a friend!

I would love to win this!!! <3
My daughter wore her first cloth diaper (bumgenius 4.0 dazzle) at 13 days old! We have loved our cloth diapering experience! I tell everyone I know that it’s amazing. It’s good for the bank account, the environment, my daughter’s health… not to mention it’s adorable! 🙂
I am getting back into cloth after 5 years with a girl this time around. I would love these to help build my stash!
My first purchase way back when were the G Diapers.
We just started cloth diapering at the beginning of December. I wad hesitant which is why it took me until she was four and a half months to start. I fell in love. I had a mixture of brands; Kawaii, Alva, and Bumgenius. Now we have started using flips and the love for cloth has turned into infatuation. The Louis flip was the first she even wore. It fit her perfectly. She moved better and plays more in her flips. I got rid of over half of her pockets so we could use primarily flip diapers. A long road ahead, we definitely gave Bumgenius flip love.
I purchased some fuzzibunz from a mom friend of mine before I was even pregnant! After having baby, we found we weren’t fans of FB and never used them!
Our first cloth diaper was a Ribbit Flip. 🙂
I posted my TBT of our first cloth diaper in the comments of your fb post.
My first cloth diaper purchase was from a local mom including newborn alvas and Charlie banana.
My first cloth diaper was a grasshopper flip. Double stuffed with an organic cotton prefold and a hemp insert for nighttime.
My 1st was Kawaii OS pocket
We’ve been cloth diapering for 3.5 years! Our first cloth purchase was a baby shower gift of bumGenius pockets from a friend. Been hooked ever since. Both our kids were tiny, we we had to start with prefolds and covers. Plus, both hubby and I were cloth diapered.
Our first diaper was a BumGenius 4.0. Started in October 2011 when my first was born! Still love them and getting ready to cloth diaper my third!!!!
My first was a used, small bg aio (moonbeam). The PUL was not waterproof anymore (almost like it was just a fitted) and it leaked ALL over the place all the time but some how I just fell in love with cloth diapering anyway. More than 4 years later and we still use BG : )
My first cloth diaper purchase was a Zinnia and Butternutt 4.0 from a local momma!
BG NB- 5 years ago!
My very first diaper (in 2008) was a secondhand white Thirsties wrap, size medium!
My first cloth diaper purchased was a Kissaluv fitted with a Prowrap.
My first cloth diapering adventure consisted of Bambino Mio sized covers and Gerber prefolds. That was almost four years ago and I only had them because I got them at clearance prices. They saved MY bottom from having to buy sposies though. Nowadays we are using Flips, and DH said if we ever have another we can upgrade to 4.0s!
My first cloth diaper purchase was on June 23, 2013! I got 8 4.0s for $104.85. I got two free because there was a buy 5, get one free deal and I got another one free for spending over $100. I now have 17 4.0s and 18 Flips. =)
My first cloth diaper was a tiny gDiaper! My son was so cute in them but they only fit backwards!
My first CD were a used FT grasshopper and Clementine, DS was 4months old, we still have and use them. My first purchase from a retailer was monogram in 4.0
We started out with Blueberry Capri covers and G Diapers. We found Bumgenius OS fit us around 4/5 months and then fell in love with Freetimes.
My first cloth diaper purchase was Thirstie Duos, size 1, and Clotheez newborn prefolds when we were excitedly waiting the birth of our first cloth diapered baby 13 months ago!
The first cloth diapers we purchased were GroBaby hybrids (now GroVia). However, the first cloth diapers my daughter wore were x-small Fuzzibunz and newborn BumGenius because she was tiny when she was born (5 lb).
Our first diaper was a baby city..
My first purchase was BG 4.0 Chelsea perry artist series concrete jungle and retail therapy 🙂

We just started 2 months ago, my first was an alva pocket 🙂
First cloth diaper purchase was BG 4.0! But first on the bum was a thirsties cover with prefold. My very good friend loaned me her newborn stash to give me an idea of how cloth diapering goes. 😀

I’ve used BG pocket diapers for three years now (2 kids) and still love them!
My first cloth purchase was a Thirsties brand pocket. I thought I liked them ok until I discovered the fit of Flips and converted over. Now I have lots of different brands, but no Thirsties lol
Our first purchase was the BumGenius 4.0 in Spence, but the first diaper he wore was a newborn Econobum cover with a premie prefold. So cute.
Our first cloth diaper purchase was 3 Blissful Bums pocket diapers – our local retailer. We now have all BumGenius AIOs and Flip covers because those systems work better for us (: Posted our #TBT photo on the Facebook thread!
My daughter’s first cloth diaper was a Lovelace freetime at 10 months old, my son’s was a bumgenius newborn Jules at minutes old! I guess you could say I’m a fan of the genius series! Lol
#tbt great idea!
My first purchase was 7 Freetimes from a seconds sale!
The first time I ever used a cloth diaper was about 5.5 years ago– I had flats and prefolds from Target, and I had to go to a ‘baby store’ (which I was trying to avoid at all cost!) to get pins. About a week into pins and flats, I received a few velcro diaper covers (Imse Vimse, Bumkins, and a FLIP!)– and experienced a huge shift in my standard of living (just kidding, sort of)! No more pins were used, ever, and I now have about a dozen Flips for my newest little one 🙂
First CD was a zinnia flip! #tbt #lovemyclothdiapers
My first was a grasshopper 4.0!
My first cloth purchase was some Flip covers and inserts plus all our accessories! That was almost a year ago!
