................ Back in the old Days..................



So it all started with the kids Dr telling me to use cloth wipes "like they did in the old days". I had no idea what he was talking about so I asked my Face Book friends and did a lot of Googling. What I ended up with was being on cloth diaper web sites. I liked the "green" aspect and money saving aspect but it just seemed weird that I was still throwing my diapers away. So my search began for cloth diapers. They needed to be economical and easy. So I searched and searched and found G diapers. They looked easy enough and they had a cloth insert or a flushable insert. So I thought these would be perfect for my youngest Alexis who is 17 months old but still in 12m and weighs 19 pounds. My David who is 3 is in pullups and has no intrest at all in using the potty. I stumbled apon a company called Antsy Pants. They are training pullups that are also suppost to be diapers. I thought that was purfect because there is nothing like that on the market. I have had the GDiapers for about a month. I have only used the cloth inset and like it pretty good. There have been a few leaks especially when I use another brand insert. I bought G flappers to go inside but I bought the material hat can not be put near the skin so I have to cover it with a thin prefold. (My mistake) I really don't like using them and wish I would have bought more G inserts. They are sold out until fall:( The one good thing about the Gdaipers is that you do not have to change the outside cover every time you change the diaper. You in therory just change the liner and insert. That usually doesn't happen to me because my Alexis is talented at getting the outside of her diaper dirty as well as the insidde. I have had my Antsy pants maybe almost two weeks now. Things aren't going too well and we are having lots of leaks. Apparently my David is a heavy wetter and it is possible that I bought too small of a size for him. Antsy pants custumer service has been excellent and they are working with me to help resolve the leak issue. The Antsy pants have and inside pocket and I put a folded micofiber cloth folded inside for extra absorbancy. I think if we were actively potty training they would be able to hold his accidents no problem but he does not want to go potty at all.
