Diaper Swappers

I think in the end what REALLY got me hooked on cloth was Diaper Swappers. As I stated before, I LOVE to shop for kid stuff, and I LOVE getting good deals. My cloth-loving Norwex Mama Friend had told me about a website for used diapers she had heard about, so I went cruising the net in search of it. Big B was aware that the cloth wasn't going away in our home anytime soon, but getting him to put a backwards velcro diaper on a squirmy 6 month old wasn't going to happen. So I stumble across DiaperSwappers, and my life hasn't been the same since.
Sure, you could say that buying used diapers is disgusting. And sometimes I guess you get burned - but no more than you do on eBay. And frankly, once you get a diaper clean of your own child's yuck, you're an expert at doing it, and it's just something you do without thinking. The key thing is: Ask questions! Demand pictures, inside and out! There is a feedback system, so check it out on potential sellers. Use this as a way to try different types of diapers at a much lower cost, and an outlet to quickly sell what you're no longer using so you have some extra money to buy what you need. Every baby is shaped differently, and every family has different needs. YES, a lot of cloth diapers are expensive to buy, but if you take good care of them, most have an excellent used resale value.

This website is divided into easy to use sections. My personal favorite (of course) is the For Sale or Trade (or the FSOT as its referred to as on the site). This again is divided into sections such as Pockets (Bum Genius, FuzziBunz, etc), Hybrid Diapers (gDiapers, Flips, etc), AIO/AI2 (all in one diapers like Bum Genius 3.0, bottombumpers, etc) WAHM Wares (great hand made stuff from custom wet bags and diapers to clothing and other great stuff). There is tons of forums for NON diaper related trading, and also a great forum for Q&A on diapers. When you have problems with washing, getting a good fit, questions on what kind of diaper will work for your lifestyle, etc, this is an amazing support group!
