It's not any harder than disposables really. I have literally saved thousands of dollars! Yeah, it's more laundry but I only wash every 2 or 3 days.

My extremely frugal husband gets VERY UPSET if he has to use anything on our son but a Pamper. He says he doesn't care WHAT IT COSTS! <BR/><BR/>I do usually get mine at Target for 21c a diaper when they have their "special purchase" mega boxes, or at Babies R Us when they send out their 5 dollars off a box coupon every couple of months. Then I fill my car.<BR/><BR/>I've participated in several diaper studies as a tester. It is ALWAYS comparing Huggies to Pampers. I ALWAYS had huge problems with the Huggies and LOVED the Pampers. BUT several people in the group always LOVE the Huggies. I think it might have something to do with the shape of your baby's butt, so don't be surprised if the new baby has a different shaped butt than the triplets and your mom makes the rounds again to get some Huggies.<BR/><BR/>We use all of our gifts to grow points on the Blockbuster rewards where you get the free movies, popcorn, and sodas. By this time I've collected enough points I figure the KID has had ENOUGH rewards, I need the reward.My Boys' Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814627526655717162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-60690711815545793362007-06-06T07:52:00.000-05:002007-06-06T07:52:00.000-05:00the split pants picture looks familiar! :) how fu...the split pants picture looks familiar! :) how funny! i'm a pampers mom, too. always have been, always will be. i absolutely understand the utility of cloth diapers and a diaper service. but i just can't deal with the dirties hanging around the house, soaking in pails....ick. i'm sure my 15 month old would play in it. gross.The Comershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695532976363613582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-17039248677258157372007-06-06T05:10:00.000-05:002007-06-06T05:10:00.000-05:00Just a lurker that had to post on your picture!

We actually had it down to 10 cents a diaper when Greg would drive to the Swap Meet. <BR/><BR/>Guess where all those opened and resealed boxes of diapers go? They go to the Swap Meet. When the Swap Meet ran out, Greg thought about going to Walmart and opening a bunch of boxes.<BR/><BR/>I swear by Member's Mark.

They have been AWESOME. We have diaper service making it even easier. We've NEVER had leaks, even when they both had rotovirus. I'm not kidding. My husband thought I was crazy but my attitude was to just give it a try and if we didn't like it then we'd just drop the service and switch to Pampers. Both of us are total converts. I have even overheard my husband convincing other expectant parents to give it a try! It's a fraction of the price of diapers and you have an unlimited supply at all times.<BR/><BR/>Also, the only times we've had diaper rash were when they were in disposables (in the NICU).<BR/><BR/>Now one of them has potty trained herself (poop and all), despite my relutance (too hard to keep running to the bathroom when we have errands to run and things to do!). My diaper service offers a warranty. For 25 cents a week they promise that your kids will be potty trained by age 2 or all diaper service thereafter is FREE. I am kicking myself for not doing it, even though one of my girls potty trained herself.<BR/><BR/>I looked it up, there's a service in San Diego...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-29982751629636244082007-06-05T11:14:00.000-05:002007-06-05T11:14:00.000-05:00I have a 16 month old and another on the way in De...I have a 16 month old and another on the way in December, and I can't believe how much money I've spent on pampers without knowing about this pampers to grow program, thanks a bunch for the heads up!
