{this week’s menu is posted!}

I don’t mean to keep disappearing for days at a time.  We are still without home internet thanks to a company whose name starts with an A and ends with a T&T.  It’s taken at least 5 phone calls and 3 weeks to get this straightened out.  I used to think they had stellar customer service, but I am starting to rethink that.

Anyway.  I digress.

I haven’t ever done a store review {although I do frequently mention stores on Twitter}, but I wanted to bring special attention to Cotton Babies.

As I’ve mentioned, we’re going to be using cloth diapers {read my post why here}.  About 6 months ago, I started researching the various brands, talking to friends, and making some decisions about how we’re going to do this.  However, finding cloth diapers at a reasonable price {including shipping} can be a bit of a challenge.

I was turned onto Cotton Babies through a friend, and I placed a huge order about a week ago.  They had everything.  I just wanted to finish buying all of the diapers I needed to get started.  I already had about 6 Bum Genius 3.0, 1 set of Econobum, and GroBaby hybrid diapers.  I still needed at least 6 Bum Genius 3.0, 4 FuzziBunz, and I wanted to try a Flip diaper.  I also needed some extra inserts.

First and most importantly, Cotton Babies had good pricing.  I was so excited about the free pack of Flip inserts.  Also?  Loved the free shipping.

My package arrived just 3 days after I placed my order.  I couldn’t believe it.  Everything was nicely labeled and organized in the box.  I checked my order against the invoice, and everything was there.  Not only that, but I could see that they had double-checked my order {there were pen marks on my invoice}.

Cloth diapering is a very overwhelming decision.  I’m not going to lie.  There are a billion companies out there that make cloth diapers and just as many sell them.  There are hybrid diapers, all-in-ones, inserts, prefolds, etc etc.  It takes a lot of effort to decide what you *think* is going to work best for your family. 

I love a store that can make it easier to navigate that information.  Cotton Babies had a ton of information on their site about each brand.  There are reviews, washing instructions, cloth diaper kits {for those who want to try a few brands in the beginning}, and a lot more.  I was able to make sure that I understood how to wash each diaper and keep it in good condition.

They don’t just sell diaper products either.  Cotton Babies has everything from products for mom to baby slings to potty training items. 

If you are even considering cloth diapers I would check out Cotton Babies.  The information available right on the homepage {scroll about halfway down for links to info} helped me decide this was the right choice for us.  I suspect that it will answer a lot of questions that you may have about using cloth diapers.

I was not compensated for this review in any way.  In fact, Cotton Babies has no idea I wrote it.  I just think that they have an awesome store.
