Where to buy cloth for diapers on the cheap

whocg23 · 08-23-2010, 10:46 AM

I am wanting to start making cloth diapers for my baby due in February. I know of a ton of sites for buying cloth, but I wanted to see what others have found to be the cheapest site for buying material. I am thinking of making the majority of the diapers out of hemp with a layer of something else for right against baby's skin. Hemp is my new love since my first child is such a heavy wetter and Hemp has been a life saver for us.

Thanks ladies for any help you can offer!

You should ask this question on diaperswappers.com they have a craft chat forum that should be full of info and the ladies are fantastic resources.

For me I have actually gotten my best deals on the same site's for-sale-or-trade forum. People need to de-stash or buy to much, and need to make room and you can get really great deals (just be sure you are comparing apples to apples when looking at the asking prices and what you are looking for)... also some folks will trade (you can post in the ISO forum) so if you have things to swap you can get some things that way as well!

ditto diaperswappers!

I actually have a few fuzzi bunz, bumgenius and blueberries left I think still if you watn to go pocket. I have been selling them for around 10.00 a piece.
Also try teeniegreenies and miracle diapers. Honestly there are TONS of diaper resources and making cloth diapers isnt terribly hard once you get past the first few!

I made a bunch of fitted dipes for ds#2. I used bamboo for the inner (bought at local store), cotton knit for the outer (also bought at local fabric store, some were also made from recycled t-shirts) and micro fleece against skin (bought micro fleece bed sheets on sale). I found that buying the fleece and knit on sale helped to balance the cost of the bamboo.
