When she is big enough for the mediums, I will buy them again. We have never had a problem with diaper rash. As you can tell, I'm happy with these and although the washing and stuffing the diapers is a little more work, we make it happen. We will soon be using cloth wipes because it won't be anymore work for us and better for our little girl!honest diaper reviewshttp://ultrahipmama.net/2012/06/09/review-honest-diapers/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045999705320114939.post-12795080645255075972013-06-20T14:27:57.968-07:002013-06-20T14:27:57.968-07:00We have a really nice metal drying rack from Costc...We have a really nice metal drying rack from Costco. I love that it collapses so I can store it easily when we have people over. It's outside on the patio when the weather is nice.

I need to switch back to cold water now that the weather is warm!

I did a cold water only challenge for my first Natural Challenge (different group of bloggers). I did my diapers as well. I did have to switch to warm water when we were using high amounts of coconut oil for a bad rash but cold water is definitely the way to go!Brittany Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429077001904311159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045999705320114939.post-73303651453115774272013-06-20T09:56:42.235-07:002013-06-20T09:56:42.235-07:00We just got it last night.

We've paid in the $100-200 range when others on our block with similarly sized homes are paying $400-600. AND you are doing something for the environment.
