Boldly Going Where (This) Mommy Has Never Gone Before!

I am taking the jump into cloth diapers, and I honestly have little idea what I am doing. I have asked several people for advice, and I plan on sharing my adventures. I have no idea if cloth diapering twins will be the same as having just one baby, I know it will mean more laundry, but I am prepared for that to not use so many disposable diapers. Because of the laundry, and living in an apartment, I just purchased a portable washing machine that attaches to the faucet. I'll have to make sure to review that after I get to use it.

Here is what I am hoping to start out with: pocket diapers, and all-in-two diapers. I had purchased some pocket diapers, and while my first go-round had very mixed results, that might be that I tried some cheap china diapers. I have disposable back-ups at the ready, so until I get this cloth thing down, I do have something to fall back on.

I reached out to a cloth diapering community via Facebook, and this is what I wrote:
"Hi, so I am starting to try cloth diapers and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I have twin boys and they're both on the extremely slender side (while they're heights are about average, they're weights are the 2nd and 3rd percentiles). The diapers that I got don't seem to fit around the legs and I'm running out of size 1 disposable diapers and would like to make the transition to cloth. Are there any brands/sizes that anyone could recommend for skinny-legged babies who are about 10 lbs currently? Any help would be appreciated, I really hope to dive into the cloth diaper world! Thank you so much in advance!"
The responses I got were amazing, some of the recommendations were AppleCheeks, Charlie Banana, Rumparooz, AMP, Soft Bums, BestBottom and Thirsties. I am hoping to be able to try at least several of these, I also am going to be trying Kawaii along with the cheap diapers I have received. I will post more once I have actually gotten to test them, juggling twins that are both acting like they're teething means not much computer time. :)

o.b.® ProComfort® tampons Review



DISCLAIMER: I received this product free from Smiley360 in return for me writing my honest opinion. That being said... :)

I had to wait a while to test this product out, and I have a mixed review about this product. While it is small, eco-friendly and absorbs more menstrual fluid than I expected it would it also was hard to apply at times and I have had it start to slip out. I was having to change the tampon every 2-3 hours because I was going through them that fast, and the 3 hours was when I was using the thicker tampons. Granted, this has been my first period after having my babies, and I did notice that it had absorbed a ton. When I was able to insert it just right, there were several times that I almost completely forgot that I had a tampon. I would consider buying these again if I didn't like applicators so much, or at least ones that aren't cardboard. If someone doesn't care if there is an applicator, I do think this is a great product, it absorbs a lot of fluid, is small, compact and easy to carry multiple around without raising questions. I do recommend this to people who are wanting to be more eco-aware and don't want an applicator.

Pros:
Small
Compact
Discreet
Eco-friendly
Absorbs more than expected

Cons:
Hard to insert at times
Has fallen out
