I have delved into the cloth diapering world and my most favorite diaper as of yet is the GAD. I adore these diapers- yes even over the famous Fuzzi Bunz ;). They have a much better, and trimmer fit.. the color choices available are just awesome and can't compete with other cloth diapers out there. They are adorable!!!!!!! And the best part of them? THEY DON'T LEAK ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! I have an extremely heavy wetter so I have found out after starting cloth. The first time I tried cloth.. (see post below), was a Fuzzi Bunz at night well the results are: it failed. The insert didn't even come close to absorbing half of what it needed to, and hadn't even made it to 1 am yet! Needless to say, he went back into a Huggies that night. =( I then went on to do more research the next day into what inserts I needed to make a cloth diaper work at night. I ended up ordering an assortment of both hemp inserts, and also ones that are meant to fit the Fuzzi Bunz. I received these inserts today! I have much prepping to do on my hemp ones, as they need to be washed and washed and washed.. (several more times to) to reach maximum absorbency and be ready to use! The repeated washing strips the naturally occurring oils out of the hemp- oil repels water remember? We don't want that. Once that is gone, people RAVE about hemp, especially for night use. We will try whatever we can!
Well in the meantime, I received the inserts that fit my GAD's in the mail. The next night I decided to try one of those in the GAD for kicks.. after all they looked super thick on their own and also fold where you need the absorbency most. No leaks since using one of these at night for Mr. Pee pants! I'm in love. =) For daytime use the Fuzzi Bunz have been just awesome for us, they also may work wonders at night with the proper insert or insertS.
I am on the search for more! And have just been informed about a fleece version of this diaper that is excellent for being breathable all night long (PUL is what is on the rest of our dipes that makes them waterproof). So, I want to try one of those too!
We are coming along on our journey! And will get better at it as we go!
