A great diaper and a super value
By Lisa Manske
This is our first baby. I'm an at-home mom, so I'm always looking for ways to save money. We used disposables for the first 6 weeks while we adjusted to parenting a newborn. Disposables are convenient but they really get costly! Figure about $10-15 per week for disposables diapers.I started using the Kushies during the daytime and really love them! It took about two diaper changes for me to figure out the best way to put them on our 11 pound daughter. But, now that I know, they NEVER leak. Line up the diaper along baby's back at his/her natural waist. The front of the diaper will be considerably higher than the back, as there is plenty of room to grow. (As baby gets bigger, the front will line up closer and closer to the back.) Fasten the velcro and check the leg holes to make sure they're snug. If they're not, re-adjust the velco.They're very easy to wash. I do not put water in my diaper pail, because that makes it too heavy. I run them through the soak cycle, then a normal warm wash with very little detergent, sometimes adding "super washing soda." Hanging them to dry outside, even on a cloudy day, truly eliminates all stains. You can also put them in the dryer. Putting them in the dryer makes them considerably softer. You can greatly diminish drying time by putting in a dry bath towel with the wet diapers. I recommend drying them on low heat with a dry towel added. If you fold the velcro tabs back (like the directions tell you to) they won't turn into a "diaper snake."If you are considering cloth diapers, I recommend you answer these questions for yourself:1. Do you have easy access to a washer and dryer and, preferably, a place to line dry?2. Do you have the time and energy to wash diapers about every other day? (It doesn't take long.)Remember that it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing change. I use disposables at night and whenever we leave the house. I figure some is better than none.When my daughter outgrew the infant size, we did switch to Fuzzi Bunz diapers. They are more expensive, but they hold more liquid and stay drier next the skin, as they are made of synthetic fabric. Kushies are nice because only cotton touches your baby's skin. However, you will have to change more frequently as cotton doesn't wick away liquid. There are many cloth diapering website that compare different brands.I highly recommend cloth diapers. They will save you money in the long run, especially if you plan on having more than one child.

Best washable diapers I've found..and boy did I look!
By Kristen Beck
I've tried all sorts of washable diapers and I was delighted when I found these. I didn't know I could be so happy about a diaper.
They fit wonderfully around the waste and the legs.Leaks do happen but rarely...usually if you skip a change.They let just enough moisture through to let you know that the diaper is wet and it's time to change it but not enough to get clothes wet.They are so soft and comfortable.They're super easy to wash.The middle flap can be adjusted for all over additional absorbency or folded for extra absorbency in just the middle or back.When you use the flushable liners, poop is sooo easy to clean...just peel off the liner and flush it or throw it in the diaper pail with the disposables...a little messy without the liners though.No need for a cover in most cases...sometimes they come in handy at bed time though.They save you money in the long run, even if you only use them one day per week to give your baby's bum a break from disposables.So easy to put on even my husband could do it. :-)

Makes cloth diapering SO easy!
By alleecatLB
Kushies AIOs have been a fantastic compromise between traditional cloth diapers and disposables. They are as easy to put on as disposables, and much more comfortable for baby because they are soft and the material is breathable. We almost never have leaks with them even at night or when baby is crawling (about the same amount as with disposables). The natural materials seem to prevent diaper rash (my daughter has only had diaper rash once, and got it when visiting Grandma and using disposables). And they are SO cute! People who see my daughter crawling around in her Kushies always say, "Oh, those diapers are ADORABLE! Where did you get those?"Here are some tips to make using the Kushies (or any cloth diapers) easier:1) Before baby starts on solid foods, her runny poops will be much easier to clean up if you use disposable liners. Once baby's eating solids, and her poops get more firm, just plop them into the toilet and flush them.2) Before baby can roll onto her tummy, and she spends most of her time on her back, fold the inside liner towards the back, since her pee will flow to the back. Once she spends more time on her tummy, fold the inside liner towards the front, as her pee will then flow to the front.3) If you work full time (like I do), you will definitely be too tired to wash diapers every day, so buy enough to get you through a few days without doing laundry. Many websites I have read suggest getting 20-25 diapers. I'd actually say 25-30 is safer. Yes, they ARE expensive, but shop around. I ended up paying about $200 for 25 diapers (including shipping and sales tax). If you figure about $10 per week for disposables, you will still end up paying less for cloth in the long run, even with the cost of laundering them.4) Never skip a change. This could lead to leaks or diaper rash. If your baby is a heavy wetter, you will probably want to use a washable liner at least at night.5) Before you wash them, be sure to fold the velcro tabs back. If you don't they will stick together in the wash and not dry properly. We just make a habit of folding them back as soon as we take the diaper off the baby.6) If drying them in a dryer, be sure to throw a dry towel in the dryer with them. Otherwise you may have to dry them more than once.7) When you fasten the velcro, make sure the fit around baby's legs is snug. Don't be afraid of making it tight. The baby will let you know if she is uncomfortable.I hope this was helpful, and good luck with your cloth diapering!
