Participants with private twitter accounts must change to public for the duration of the party or else their participation will not be visible and verification of their involvement will not be possible.

If you win and I can not verify your participation due to having a private twitter account then I will simply be moving on to another winner.  In other words, you will be disqualified.

    (Sorry, i had that comment typed all night but just realized I never hit enter, lol).

    Also, I would love to know what people do about crunchy clothesline inserts! It’s not bad on the pockets, but my prefolds are rock hard and itchy after I dry them, and it seems to defeat the purpose if I fluff them in the dryer!

    Wool, people say it repels water but they also say it absorbs it. HTH can it do both? Aren’t those mutually exclusive?

    Lately it seems that the elastic has died in nearly all my diapers! Some of them were only a few months old. I’d love to see a “How to Keep Your Elastic in Shape Longer” topic.

    Nighttime pull up options for older/ bigger kids… he’s a super heavy wetter too, so absorbency is an issue!

    Stripping of hemp. I think we are starting to get a little bit of ammonia build up on our Super Do inserts that we use for over night.

    I would like the detergent issue addressed. So many manufacturers say baking soda and oxygen bleach is a big no for cloth diapers, but the newer cloth diaper “safe” detergents have these ingredients.

    Reply

  85. Samantha Cuhel says

    I’d like to get some facts about clean rinsing detergents and coin op/shared laundry. Some say the detergent “wastes” itself cleaning the washer instead of the diapers. Others say it just rinses clean and works no differently than regular detergent, other than it doesn’t make bubbles.

    I got this message “You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user.” Not sure why she’s blocking me. Obviously if you are limiting who is following your account, you shouldn’t be using it as an entry for a rafflecopter.

    I would truly love to have some information on cloth diapering a child with eczema. Especially, what cloth diaper safe ointments have been a success, as well as what detergents are best for extremely sensitive skin. I have asked others before with little luck, mainly people trying too figure out the root cause of the eczema, which is nice, but we are figuring that out. But when he flares up, I would like to have some options in my arsenal besides what I have been doing, which is turning to disposables.

    I would like to learn about washing (how to determine hard water, etc) When to and how to strip diapers. As well as using two diaper stations a a multi-floor house.

    I only use prefolds (jelly roll – I love how it keeps everything in and I rarely have to wash covers!) with the occasional Flip diaper thrown in (mostly as something easier for when we’re away from home for a diaper change). Can you tell me more about inserts & overnight diapering? So far she does great, even all night, but I’m guessing she may have heavier wetting as she gets older and wonder if it will begin to bother her at some point – for now she doesn’t seem to mind being wet for a while at all.

    I would like to hear about what we can do to make cloth diapering more simple for others. My SIL just took the plunge and purchased for their upcoming babe, but if I would not have been available to answer her questions, I doubt she would have (even though I gave her online resources– they made her nervous).

    I know really hot water can wear out the diapers, so what else can I try? Unless I do the sanitary wash on my FL, I end up with stink.

    what really is the best trainer? newborn diaper? (i think gussest are a MUST). Some of my inserts are getting stiff… does this mean they need to be stripped? And does that mean I have to boil them?

    I’d love to see some tips about starting out cloth diapering our first baby. I’m due in March, and I would like to use cloth right off the bat but I’ve been told that I need to use disposables because apparently the baby will have some sticky, tar-like poo.

    With a OS diaper how do I know if I’ve got the rise correct? How high should the diaper sit on baby, on, above or below belly button? My LO is long and lean and I’ve tried a few different brands and we don’t get leaks but they seem so bulky up front and between his legs and they don’t lay nice a neat like in the pics on the reviews I’ve read! Makes me think I’m getting the fit wrong?!?

    My husband and I are discussing just how many diapers I will need (our first is due in November) so we really want to figure out how many to have on hand for newborn stage.

    Ammonia while my diapers are in the wet bag but not after washing or after baby pees. Is it ok or a problem?

    When beginning cloth diapering, do you think it’s best to start with a variety of diapers (one of each kind) to see which ones you like best, OR to start with a stash of all one kind so it’s less overwhelming? ex, if you were to buy a whole stash for one mama for her baby shower, what would you buy her?

    Microfiber stink. That’s my biggest issue. And stripping, because I’ll be stripping all my old ones soon for my new baby!

    I am new to cloth diapering. Literally today is the first time every! I am excited but she got a rash and I’m not sure what it could be because we tried so many different cloth diapers/liners etc… I don’t know where to begin with what could have been the culprit. My friend came and bought me a bunch to try out.

    It is really disappointing sometimes. I know, you can’t win often– but that’s the thing. Some people do. One of the winners from this party has won at at LEAST two other parties in the last 6 weeks. She’s also a popular figure in the cloth diaper online community. Makes you wonder.

    Especially when the teacher’s pet winner only made a handful of posts, few of which were anything of depth. There were far more active people who gave great advice, help, answers, comedic relief and could have been chosen.

    This is not the first time that the cloth diaper leaders have let me down. There were also a few pinterest contests for unique and creative boards where the winners were highly generic, and unique entries were completely overlooked (by different organizations). I have won something once. In a year. I’m ok with not winning, but please don’t say you are going to pick someone who does great and then just go with someone whose contribution is mediocre at best. Thank you for all the great prizes offered, but I think I’ll stick to Monday nights on twitter where there aren’t prizes usually.
