Cloth Diaper Trial - Results!

Okay, so I slacked on reporting the rest of my diaper trial. We traveled two weekends in a row and thus washed diapers at someone else's house. That was a bit of a pain, and one washing was more successful than the other (fabric softener residue and a rogue dryer sheet), but I feel like I could handle it for traveling in the future. Having a full stash of diapers will help quite a bit, and a wetbag large enough for travel will also be a nice addition.

Our trial set has been successfully returned to Jillian's Drawers, and I've been slowly purchasing our stash. When all is said and done we'll have:
  • 4 Grasshopper (light green) BGs
  • 4 Butternut (yellow) BGs
  • 4 Clementine (orange) BGs
  • 4 White BGs
  • 2 Noodle (vanilla, off-white) BGs
  • 1 Meadow (green) Thirsties fitted
  • 1 Honeydew (yellow-green) Thirsties fitted
  • 1 Meadow Thirsties snap cover
The best part is that even though that sounds like a lot, we'll break even with Isabella even though we started really late and save quite a bit of money with a second baby! And then, once we're finished with the diapers, they can be sold to get part of our money back.
