Let’s have a diaper bazaar!

We try not to call it a diaper swap since you don’t have to swap or sell used diapers to participate. Everyone is welcome whether you plan to buy, sell, trade or just browse and meet other cloth diapering parents.

Since this diaper bazaar will be held on the sidewalk outside Green Bambino, we have plenty of space to accommodate everyone. Gently used diapers, diapering accessories and baby carriers will be welcome. Please limit the amount of items you bring to what will fit on/under one table.

Sellers:

Clean, dry, odor-free gently used diapers only, please. Don’t make us do a sniff test . Our employees will be spot-checking diapers. Please remove from sale any they find to be defective.

You may also bring cloth diapering accessories and gently used baby carriers to sell.

Please bring your own table and chair (card table-size works best).

Bring some cash with which to make change. We don’t take a cut of your sale, and we can’t make change for everyone.

Questions about pricing your used diapers? Give us a call; we’re glad to help.

Buyers:

All sales take place between the buyer and the seller – that is, Green Bambino doesn’t take a cut. That also means you’ll need to bring plenty of cash since we can’t run the sale through the cash register.

While we all hope that the gently used diapers available for sale will be in fully functional order, please remember that Green Bambino is not responsible for the quality of your purchase.

Our staff will be on hand if you have questions about unfamiliar brands or styles.

Everyone:

Our diaper bazaars are pretty laid back and easy going. If you have questions, let us know. There is no obligation to buy – feel free to come out just to meet other cloth diapering parents and make new friends.

If the weather turns for the worse, check back to this Eventbrite listing. We’ll do our best to move the event indoors rather than postponing.

Want just one Snappi? Looking for different colors? Snappi diaper fasteners are now available at Green Bambino in single packs in size 1 and 2, and in several new colors, including day glo yellow, orange and pink.

Not sure what a Snappi is? Here’s some info from Snappi Baby USA:

The Snappi® Diaper Fastener has revolutionized cloth diapering! This PINLESS diaper fastener offers a practical and reliable way to fasten a cloth diaper and has become one of the most important cloth diapering accessories in the world. Over 60 million have sold worldwide.

An EASY to use fastener that offers a PRACTICAL and RELIABLE way to fasten a cloth diaper, replacing the diaper pin. It comes in a variety of colors and is made from a stretchable non-toxic material, which is T-shaped with ‘teeth’ on each end. These ‘teeth’ hook into the diaper fabric to ensure a snug-fitting diaper with enough natural movement for the baby.

The Snappi® fastener underwent a ‘makeover’ in 2006. The basic shape and function remains the same, the only change being that the rings at the end of each leg have been replaced with a solid piece embossed with the Snappi® logo and a crescent-shaped loop at the end of each leg, which gives the Snappi® an extra safety feature.

When the Snappi® fastener is not in use, fold the loop over the back of the Snappi® end to fit over the teeth of the white grip – see photo above. This acts as a barrier and prevents the sharp teeth from being exposed. These loops are NOT to be pulled on when attaching the Snappi® fastener to the diapers. When attaching the Snappi®, hold onto the solid part of the tab.

My cloth diaper advice to others – keep an open mind and don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.  Almost all the negative things I hear about cloth are said by people who haven’t even tried it.  I was really hesitant to try cloth diapers.   I just knew it was going to messy and gross.  I couldn’t have been more wrong.  I actually found it less messy — at least with cloth diapers the mess actually stays inside the diaper and you aren’t changing clothes, blankets, sheets, or having to wash the carseat liner.

When we started with cloth diapers I wanted something easy.  I was against prefolds because they seemed too complicated.  I didn’t want to be doing origami; I just wanted to diaper my kid.  While prefold diapers may not be for everyone, I have to admit I was wrong again.  It wasn’t until we started thinking about potty training that I bought a few to try.  Most of our diapers had stay-dry linings and I thought feeling wet would help my daughter with potty training.  Prefolds are super cheap, soft, wash and dry really well, and don’t have to be complicated.  I love the Better Fit Prefolds that can simply be folded in thirds and laid in a cover – no origami required.

Wool was the other category of diapers that I just didn’t think was for us.  The washing instructions seemed so intimidating and I always thought wool was itchy.  As my daughter became older, we found ourselves changing sheets a few times a week after she’d sleep her twelve hour stretch.  Many people told me how great wool was for nighttime, but I wasn’t convinced.  After changing sheets one too many times, I decided to give it a try.  The result – LOVE!  Not only is wool breathable and SOFT, it’s actually pretty easy to care for (Eucalan No-Rinse Wool Wash is great).  My daughter is now potty trained and only wears a diaper to bed.  When she gets up I just turn the wool cover inside out and let it air dry until we are ready to put it back on.  The sheets are dry and the cover only has to be washed every couple of weeks.  What could be better?

There are many options in the cloth diaper world.  My advice is simply to keep an open mind.  What works best for one person may not be the thing for you and your family, but you’ll never know unless you give it a try.

A recent Facebook request has spawned a new blog series here at Green Bambino. We’re asking our owner and staff what their fave five diapers/systems are. We’ll each create two lists: one made up of the five diapers or diaper systems we’d include in the “perfect stash,” and a list of our five favorite diapers available at Green Bambino.

Morgan, Green Bambino’s owner, will kick things off!

Morgan’s fave five:

1. Bummis Easy Fit One Size All-in-One diaper: best velcro on the market, fast drying, trim fitting.
2. Flip covers and prefolds or flats: don’t underestimate the awesomeness of natural fibers and old school. The longer I diaper, the more I love flats.
3. Mother-ease Wizard Easy Stuff pocket diaper: Mother-ease diapers last FOREVER. I love pockets, but get tired of stuffing and unstuffing. This diaper solves both problems. Pair this with a birdseye flat for the perfect diaper.
4. Sandy’s organic cotton fitted diapers: easily the most absorbent diaper ever. The toddler size gets my preschool through the night.
5. Wool. Don’t wait to try wool. It’s magic, and once you start, you can’t get enough.

We’ll have more to come!
