My Very First Fluff

I've been going back and forth on whether or not to buy cloth swim diapers since Olivia was 6 months old. But, I'm lazy and she's been wearing Pampers Splashers for 2 summers. Now that I have a 2nd little one, I finally decided to spend the money on a swim diaper that I could just wash and reuse all summer long.

After searching and asking questions, I bought 2 Thirsties diaper covers, which can be used for a normal swim diaper. Of course I had to get the cutest colors.

I got the Lavender for Alexandria in a size SMALL. The raspberry is for Olivia in a size LARGE. Olivia's is kinda big on her, but the weight was 28-48lbs which is a huge range. She's about 30lbs right now so I wanted to make sure that if she did gain more weight this summer, it would still fit her. HOPEFULLY, this will be the last summer she needs a diaper of any kind!

That is a whole other post though. :)

Yay for new fluff! Can you use Thirsties covers over a fitted or prefold as a swim diaper?

Heather... you can use it just as is. No need to put a prefold in, just slap the cover on and you're good to go. Someone told me to put something in there anyways because the PUL can become sticky for little girls.

Hmmm, have you tried them yet? How'd they work? I heard CD had to be washed a special way, line dried, etc? I've thought about doing this for Lily but I just have so many questions. lol.

I washed them with all their other clothes in warm water with clear/free detergent. Then I dried them outside. They're probably going to get pretty warn because of the chlorine in the pool. We still use disposables for regular diapers.
