You've guessed it. Me and my "hippy-go-free-free" self has switched over to the dark side and started using cloth diapers on Kaylynn. I really wanted to use them from the beginning, but due to a lot of peer pressure and Brian not being too sure, I just went with regular disposables (well not regular, but the hippy-fied versions). They worked fine. I hated throwing them away (did you know that it is ILLEGAL to throw away human waste, but we throw away diapers all the time.)
I decided to make a switch because the diapers just weren't fitting Kaylynn right anymore. I tried a couple of different brands and it just wasn't working right. I asked around, some of Mike and Donna's friends had good advice, researched a ton, and decided to just do a trial set for $10 from www.jilliansdrawers.com I figured I could try anything for $10. I tried, I liked. Now I have bought a ton of the BumGenius 3.0 diapers, and they go on just like a disposable. The only difference is I throw them in a different pail and wash them every couple of days. There is even LESS stink in Kaylynn's room than there was with the regular diaper can. Plus, they are so cute!
I'm sure you are thinking, "that's fine and all, but you still have to mess with poop." My response is this, how many of you have had explosive poop diapers with disposables? We had them ALL the time. Literally once a day, if not more. Since then...not once. I actually deal with poop less now. And that is just fine by me!
If you are curious for more information, check out The Simple Mom website. They've been doing a Q&A thing on it all week and have good information, that is easy to understand.

Are you going to change to the detergents they suggest you use to wash the diapers?
I've been using a "free & clear" detergent. I'm not going to order my detergent online, there are some suggested you can buy at HEB, so probably just use that.
Yay I'm glad they're working well for you! It stinks that day cares won't deal with them, it should be an option for all working mommies!
She might, I just haven't asked. It's really a matter of velcro-ing it on, then when you take it off, putting it in a wet bag instead of a trash bag, so I can't see how it'd be an issue. I wouldn't ask anyone to wash them!
