Nicki's Diapers Haul

Nicki's Diapers products


My order from Nicki's Diapers arrived this morning! I always wait to order from this site until I need enough items to qualify for free shipping, which can be a while sometimes. This order included a white Imagine brand diaper cover which I have been wanting ever since we stopped using the tiny diaper covers from Little Flower and started using the one-size covers. I am still looking for an inexpensive light pink cover, but this white one will be very useful in the meantime. It looks well constructed, though it seems to be a bit smaller than our other covers. It will be the same size when snapped on the second setting, which means little S may outgrow this one first. The other item that was desperately needed was the large wet bag. We have a small one that came with our Little Flower diapers, but we were supplementing with plastic storage bags that we would throw away after several uses, which almost defeats the purpose of using cloth diapers (as far as waste and expenses go). We discovered this flaw over the holidays when we were out and about for longer periods of time than we had been before. So yay for large wet bags!

We also now have large tubs of CJ's BUTTer. The Plus formula has been great for curing at the first signs of diaper rash, so we bought the biggest size container that they carry. We also ordered two scented ones, the lavender for bedtime and the Little Bee Buttermilk for whenever. The Little Bee is a soft, sweet scent that we really love to put on her. Along with the lotions we also decided to get some wipe solution concentrate since we will be starting solid foods soon and water may not be enough to keep her clean. We do use disposable wipes occasionally but it will be nice to have the cloth wipes solution.

We already have a dozen of the Imagine prefold diapers in a small size (I believe it is infant) to use as our back-up diapers. They are great quality and the little one is getting bigger everyday, so it was time to order some more in a bigger size. These diapers are smooth, soft cotton and have yet to show any wear where we pin them, so I am happy to have the next size available for when we need them! We also received three flannel wipes with our order, since Nicki's Diapers sends free gifts depending on your order total. All in all, I greatly recommend these products and this company!
