Cloth Diapering Unwrapped: Sarah’s Method for Stripping DiapersTuesday, March 20th, 2012
Lately, I have heard a lot of buzz about stripping cloth diapers, so I thought I’d give you all a quick rundown of my own process. Please understand, I just landed on “my process.” While it has really worked for me so far, there are a lot of factors that can impact its effectiveness with your diapers. In my post about how to strip diapers, I outlined several other methods for stripping diapers (it was news to me back then that there were so many ways to strip cloth diapers!). Uf this doesn’t work for you, you have other options – promise. Okay, so here goes. My process: 1. Washing Machine Rinses: First, I rinsed the heck out of my diapers in the washing machine. I mean, I probably ran seven or eight normal cycles without any detergent alternating hot and warm. In between almost all of those, I ran a soak or a rinse/drain/spin cycle (warm). The diapers were quite literally in the washing machine for two days straight. I checked the suds level during every other cycle and after about one whole day of rinsing, I removed the diaper shells so only the inserts were rinsing. 2. Drying: I dried everything in the dryer. (I actually don’t know why I dried them – not necessary). 3. Boiling: I boiled every one of my inserts in a large stockpot on my stovetop. I know, it seems weird to put poop-catchers in the same pot you make chili, but I think it helps kill any remaining bacteria. I did my inserts in batches, so they weren’t overcrowded in the pot. I placed six or so in each batch and I let each batch boil for 10 minutes. Note: the inserts tend to puff up in the pot (which I can only assume is a good thing, it means boiling water is getting inside!). I made sure to keep pushing them down into the pot with a wooden spoon. 4. Draining/Cooling: Straight out of the pot, they are obviously hot, so I drained the inserts in a colander next to the stove in a baking pan for several minutes. 5. Rinsing (again): Once they were cool enough to handle, I rinsed each insert in cold water. I wrung each one out and laid flat on a kitchen towel to air dry a bit. 6. Scrubbing: While the inserts were boiling or draining, I scrubbed the inside of each diaper shell (the white part that catches all of the excrement) with blue Dawn dish soap and a small nail brush (a new one). I rinsed each shell thoroughly and laid out to dry. 7. Washing Machine Rinse: For good measure, I ran everything through another rinse cycle in the washing machine to make sure everything was thoroughly rinsed. When I was finished, my diapers seemed cleaner than they had ever been. It was like starting fresh. I couldn’t believe I had used those diapers for so long without doing this sort of stripping. I vowed to repeat the process every couple of months. I have since repeated steps 3-5. What’s your stripping method? Which steps work? Which aren’t worth it? How often do you strip your diapers?

Becca Eisen of Goleta, California, and mom to the adorable and quite busy Cruz, shares with us how cloth diapers hasn’t changed her a bit, and she shares with us her addition for lipstick and lip gloss (we feel the same way around here!). Enjoy! 1. Cloth diapers have change my life… In many ways, cloth diapering hasn’t changed my life, which is a good thing! I’m not a slave to laundry like I feared I would be. I have not spent a lot of money on my diaper stash, which I had worried about. I have had to change very little about my life in order to become a cloth diapering family. In a bigger sense, cloth diapering has changed my life because I feel empowered as a mom to make the best decisions for my family, even when they seem difficult or against the norm. I’ve been so proud that our family has embraced cloth diapering. 2. The first thing I do when I wake up is…. head downstairs for some quiet time. I try to wake up before everyone else to spend a few minutes in silence centering myself, praying, and planning for the day. It doesn’t always happen, but it’s so much more energizing than waking up to the baby over the monitor. 3. No matter how much time it takes, I always…. take my son Cruz with me to the grocery store. Counter-intuitive, right? I’ve found that everyone is so much nicer and more helpful when he’s along! 4. The most unusual thing in my diaper bag or purse is….. my massive collection of lipsticks and lip gloss. I may not have showered for days, my hair might be in a perma-ponytail, and my yoga pants will certainly be covered in drool, but wearing lipstick makes me feel pulled together. 5. If I could live in one outfit for the rest of my life, it would be…. a maxi dress, long cardigan, and sandals.

FuzziBunz® Announces Perfect Size Cloth Diaper Price Drop to Create One of the Most Affordable Cloth Diapers on the Market TodayFriday, November 25th, 2011
Lafayette, Louisiana (November 25, 2011) – In time for holiday shopping, FuzziBunz® cloth diapers today announces a permanent price drop of its line of Perfect Size cloth diapers. FuzziBunz® Perfect Size cloth diapers come in sizes x-small through large and are sized to fit baby as he grows. Tereson Dupuy, the founder and CEO of FuzziBunz®, says the new pricing enables FuzziBunz to offer cloth diapering products that fit various budgets and makes the Perfect Size diaper one of the most affordable pocket style cloth diapers on the market today. “We hope our new every day affordable pricing of cloth diapers gives parents, who want to cloth diaper their babies full-time, the ability to do so from the very start,” says Dupuy who is also known as the Mother of the Modern Cloth Diaper. “The start-up cost can be a hesitation for the family that wants to cloth diaper; but with the new price drop of the FuzziBunz® Perfect Size cloth diapers, we now offer one of the most reasonably priced pocket-style cloth diapers on the market today, bringing cloth diapering to the homes of more families, even if they are on a tight budget.” Dupuy adds that the FuzziBunz® Perfect Size cloth diaper also comes with a microterry insert at no additional cost. “Other pocket-style cloth diapers nickel and dime their customers into paying for the cloth diaper and the insert separately, giving the appearance of a lower price point. But with FuzziBunz®, customers get the entire package – a diaper and insert – for the same low price. We care about our customers and want to make cloth diapering as easy, affordable and transparent as possible,” she says. The new FuzziBunz® Perfect Size pricing is as follows: XS: Was $15.95 / Now $13.95 Small: Was $17.95 / Now $14.95 Medium: Was $17.95 / Now $15.95 Large: Was $17.95 / Now $16.95 As the original pocket-style modern cloth diaper on the market, FuzziBunz® forever changed the cloth diapering world in 2000. It was the first cloth diaper to make cloth diapering easy to do at home and fun too. Today, FuzziBunz® cloth diapers are available in One-Size and Perfect Size options. The new One Size Elite cloth diaper, which retails for $19.95, is the newest addition to the FuzziBunz family and is one of the most trimmest-fitting-yet-adjustable cloth diapers available today. The patented FuzziBunz® design is not only stylish but also prevents diaper rash by keeping baby’s skin dry and healthy.
