Diaper Safari

For all the years that Ruby's little bottom needed diapers, we used Econobums with cloth prefold inserts.  But, after three years of hard wear, the Econobums limped across the finish line.  We tried to use them with Romeo, but they just didn't hold up - lots of little leaks with every wear.  We spent $100 on the Econobum covers and got 3+ years of use out of them.  One point for Team Zero Waste.

So, we recently found ourselves in need of new reusable diapers.  We are still using Bambo and Eco Genesis compostable diapers and wipes for nighttime and outings, but the rest of the time, Romeo is cushioned in reusable luxury.  We found some awesome replacements for the tired Econobums: Diaper Safari.  We have been using Diaper Safari covers for a couple of months now and they are awesome.  Superficially, I like that they come in a variety of colors, whereas Econobums only come in white.  And more substantially, I like that the prefold stays folded up and held in place with POCKETS on either end of the cover. Two points for Team Zero Waste.

I ordered these on Amazon and was mildly horrified when they arrived and I discovered that, ironically, reusable diapers came packaged in single use plastic.  You win some, you lose some. Overall, definitely more of a win.
