19:08:43 host_Cuddlebaby so what things do you like best in a diaper?
19:08:52 host_Cuddlebaby snaps?  velcro?  fitteds?  AIO's?
19:11:43 host_Cuddlebaby anyone left in here?
19:12:07 host_diaperjungle Me :)
19:12:39 host_diaperjungle I like AIOs for ease of use. But I like fitteds and covers for smaller babies :)
19:13:19 host_diaperjungle I like snaps too but I like velcro better becuase you can customize the fit.
19:15:22 host_Cuddlebaby what you sais  :)

19:17:42 guest_VJ but in other chat sorry!!!
19:17:57 willowsmom Hey!!...put all your eggs in one basket, chica. :D
19:18:18 willowsmom Ok...are there any good sites for sewing your own diapers?  And what fabrics would I need?
19:18:45 host_diaperjungle www.diapersewing.com
19:18:53 willowsmom fabulous. :) Thanks!
19:19:29 host_diaperjungle As for fabric....you can use, flannel, fleece, PUL, cotton knits, the possibilities are endless. I have tried just about everything.
19:19:29 guest_VJ for toddlers what do you recommen dlol
19:19:35 guest_VJ lol
19:19:51 host_Cuddlebaby tons of absorbency  :)
19:20:34 host_Cuddlebaby towels, receiving blankets, t shirts....flannel shirts...
19:20:51 host_Cuddlebaby after you get good, you could invest some $$ in some hemp which is the best for absorbency.
19:21:07 host_Cuddlebaby hello safetymom!!!
19:21:08 host_diaperjungle Flannel will help them realize they are wet....Burley knit terry is very absorbent...it is what I use in my diapers
19:21:14 host_Cuddlebaby did I speak to you earlier?
19:21:22 safetymom Yup! :)
19:21:33 host_diaperjungle hemp is also great, I agree Rebecca :)
19:21:39 safetymom We love hemp here.
19:22:02 guest_VJ i guess flannel is good for him? hes shortly going to potty train
19:22:12 guest_VJ but are the diapers easy to take off? he always take his dipes off
19:22:41 host_Cuddlebaby shall we all reintro for safety mom?  just ages of kids  :)
19:22:49 willowsmom I'm back..sorry...what is PUL?
19:23:01 host_Cuddlebaby poly urathane laminate.
19:23:09 host_diaperjungle Sounds like snaps might be best
19:23:16 host_Cuddlebaby waterproof backing usuallly applied to apoly fabric, it's what covers are made from...
19:23:21 willowsmom k ty :)
19:23:32 host_Cuddlebaby yeah snaps for toddlers so they can't come out of them.
19:23:41 willowsmom I've been usin Kushies...but Man oh man...if I could make my own. lol  I'd be set
19:23:46 host_diaperjungle Hi, my name is Tiffany, WAHM to 2 and one on the way.
19:24:20 host_Cuddlebaby hey Tiffany, give safety your urls, she collects them  :)
19:24:31 safetymom I am Susie, mom to 4 girls.  They are 10, 7, 4 and 18 months.
19:24:31 willowsmom Hi Tiffany...me too :D
19:24:43 guest_VJ i have snappies?
19:25:08 host_Cuddlebaby you use those in lieu of diaper pins...
19:25:16 safetymom I lost all of my bookmarks recently and had to go back to an old version.  It was tough.  Very tough.
19:25:37 host_Cuddlebaby i bet
19:26:00 host_diaperjungle My URLs: http://www.diaperjungle.com  and http://www.jellybeandiapers.com
19:26:26 safetymom Thanks!  I have been both places today.  :)
19:26:31 willowsmom Very cool
19:26:33 host_diaperjungle I have snappis too. I use them occasionally :)
19:27:09 safetymom I have always wondered.  Can you really snappi a prefold so that you don't have to use a cover?  I have always just thrown a prefold into a velcro cover.
19:27:37 safetymom Female fetus.
19:27:48 safetymom oops.
19:28:06 host_diaperjungle I used snappis on prefolds but I still covered them. You don't have to though....
19:28:17 safetymom I thought it might be nice to do in the summer.
19:28:21 host_Cuddlebaby yeah, I'd still cover them.
19:28:40 host_Cuddlebaby and it depends on how tightly the cover fits as to whether or not you have to fasten the prefold in place..
19:28:52 safetymom I have some Fern and Faerie denim dipes for summer as well, in the hopes that I won't have to use a cover all the time.
19:29:02 host_Cuddlebaby yeah in the summer I have been known to pin a prefold on and no cover....
19:30:00 safetymom I try to get covers that fit pretty well, since I usually don't pin or snappi.  I have some cuddlebaby covers that I haven't used for prefolds cause they just wander around in the cover.  I could probably use them if I snappied, eh?
19:30:09 willowsmom Pre folds have the thickness in the middle right?
19:30:27 safetymom Yep.  They look like a rectangle with extra layers in the middle.
19:30:32 host_Cuddlebaby yes ma'am
19:31:01 host_Cuddlebaby yup  :)
