...how many wetbags do you have in regular rotation?

...what diapers are rotating right now (exact numbers not necessary)?

...how often do you strip (your diapers )?

...which diaper is in your diaper bag at this very moment?


******************************

I have five wetbags in current rotation. Two really small travel ones that I swap in and out of my purse. And three large wet/dry bags by planet wise.

My current rotation includes: TKCuddlers (about 25 larges), Kawaii bamboo (4), Swaddlebees econappies (4), Elementals (9), Preston pants (4 total, a couple AI2, a pocket, and a fitted), about 10 fitteds from WAHMs, cozybums (2), rockin rumps (2), fishnoodles (2), piddle poodles (2), flips, best bottoms, and tons of random pockets, covers, and inserts. Off the top of my head..quite sure I missed a lot!

I strip MY DIAPERS about once every three months. It seems we do one to prevent stink and that seems to be the best interval.

I believe I have a concrete jungle BGE in my purse at the moment. It pulls double duty for whoever needs a change.

I have 2 hanging wet bags, and 2 large zipping wet bags for the diaper bag.

Current rotation is 1 dozen large aplix Bottombumpers AIOs, 2 dozen flats used primarily padfolded with 6 aplix Flip covers, and I think 18 or so various fitteds including 4 overnight ones (large Sandys, Greenchild, Guerilla Fluff O2, and a couple misc WAHM), plus random covers (Thirsties Duo size 2, WAHM, Imse Vimse wool, Sweet Peas fleece, Bummis whisper pants, large Sbish wool soaker for overnight) and a bunch of wool and fleece longies.

I haven't stripped for a few weeks and hope not to again for awhile. I got rid of the large hemp inserts that were hard to wash, and upgraded my wash routine slightly. I strip now just by running a Sanitary wash with oxy powder and a touch of Tide and running hot or warm water-heavy cycles to rinse until I have zero suds.

I think I have a couple of Bottombumpers in the diaper bag but I am not sure exactly how many, it might be 3 or 4. I always overpack the diaper bag. And I have an emergency change kit of a Grovia sposie insert, old Grobaby shell, baby washcloth and small wetbag in the Ergo's pocket.

I have 1 large hanging wet bag, 1 medium wet bag for traveling, and a pail liner.

My current rotation is 34 Guerilla Fluff diapers (mix of O2s, EconO2s, and Utilitarians) and 19 Goodmamas.

I did 2 major strips so far total. Once because of major stink buildup and another time because I tried a detergent that made Evelyn break out so I wanted to get it all out. A few weeks ago I did a few strips on one diaper in particular (a Guerilla Fluff Utilitarian that I bought used in not the best condition) that was having major stink issues.

I think I have 3 Goodmamas in my diaper bag right now.

...how many wetbags do you have in regular rotation? Two hanging wet bags for day care (I had one, but it was becoming a big pain and wearing out quickly so I bought a second). I have one tiny Planet Wise wet bag for when we are only going out for a few hours (it fits about one diaper) and one small draw string wet bag for when we are out all day, although, since DH isn't going through diapers as quickly, that wet bag has kind of become my family cloth wet bag. And I have one pail liner

...what diapers are rotating right now (exact numbers not necessary)? Exactly 30. 4 days worth (at 7 diapers a day) plus 2 extras for back up. Most RaRs, some WAHM diapers, one FuzziBunz perfect size, two Tiny Tush Elite, and an Albert BG on the way.

...how often do you strip (your diapers )? Every Saturday night...er....I mean....Since I've started putting OxyClean in every cycle (though I might switch to once a week), I haven't had to strip them at all.

...which diaper is in your diaper bag at this very moment? None, I'm at work But at day care, he took 5 RaRs and his Cars print Jacabums today.

Wow I feel so lost and realize how much I need to learn.

I don't have a wet bag yet, still trying to figure out what I need for size and such.
I have fuzzibuns, a blueberry, grovia and bum genius. I only have about 7 pockets and 1 grovia cover with 4 inserts. Yeah I need more but we are a part time cd family.

I have never striped, not sure what it is LOL and when or why you would do it.

I have 4 huggies in there currently as I only throw the cloth in on weekends, disposable during the day at daycare. I just grab some fuzzibuns on my way out the door usually.

LOL I felt so lost with CDing for so long. This board is soooo amazingly helpful! But yeah, you strip diapers generally if they start stinking lots (like if they have a barnyard smell or ammonia smell the second pee touches them) or start repelling and not absorbing. You may find that you have to do it more often if you have hard water due to mineral buildup. There's different ways of stripping, but many people use Dawn dish soap, which basically "strips" away any detergent or mineral build up the same way it strips away grease and grime from dishes.

two wetbags, both single layer fleece made to fit the diaper pail WAY too easy to make!! and they work great!! For out and about/preschool, I use dog poop bags, LOL!! I should make little wetbags.

diapers in rotation, probably 30+. All mine, except 1 WAHM. That one we rarely use - the fit is okay, but I had to replace the insert it came with, it was terrible!! Just not my favorite diaper, even with the new insert. What can I say, I LOVE mine!! I'm at the point where some definitely need replacing, they were the first ones I made when I was still revising the pattern. BTW, don't wetpail flannel. I abused those diapers like you wouldn't believe bc I wanted to see how fast the fabric would wear out, for selling purposes.

Stripping, after each trip where I had to wash on the trip. My routine works great at home for our water, but not elsewhere. But, it's been 2 months since the last trip and they were getting stinky, so they just got stripped again, in fact I need to go put them in the dryer.

diaper bag, nothing ATM, I only fill that when I need it. Kaiden has a little backpack for preschool, and it has 1 cotton twill fitted w/aplix and 1 cover. I need to put another diaper in there for tomorrow, I always send 2.

I don't have anything in rotation, yet, but I bought 2 diaper pail liners (don't know if they count), 2 medium wet bags and 1 small wet bag.

...what diapers are rotating right now (exact numbers not necessary)?
I have only washed pre-folds and covers. Anything else is unknown until the baby is here.

...how often do you strip (your diapers )?
N/A

...which diaper is in your diaper bag at this very moment?
Right now, I have Huggies natural-something-or-others for the hospital because I do not want to deal with learning cloth in an environment where I have zero control. I might bring some with me though to practice over top of the Huggies. I seem to have no stuffed animals that are the right size for practicing.

...how many wetbags do you have in regular rotation? I only own one medium wetbag for when I change a diaper out of the house. I put my dirty diapers in a basket by my washer. Works for me

...what diapers are rotating right now (exact numbers not necessary)? Haute pockets and charlie bananas

...how often do you strip (your diapers )? ugh I don't know at the moment. I feel like Ive done it a million times in the last few months but it wasn't what the problem was. I stripped them every 3-4 months before I started having the delamination issues

...which diaper is in your diaper bag at this very moment? I actually don't think there is one in there at the moment. I was gone ALL day yesterday and I don't think I've refilled it yet. It'll probably be a haute pocket when i do tho
