Yes I've tried both and of the two I prefer the AMP duo - very soft lining, pretty patterns and colors and the super absorbent bamboo liners are fantastic. Although I do like that the Grovia shells can be used without an insert as a swim diaper. My personal all time favorite diaper is still the Bum Genius 4.0!Nancyhttp://mylittlecriatura.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738095163086668275.post-91932849399527428482014-03-01T05:30:01.332-07:002014-03-01T05:30:01.332-07:00I've been looking at both the AMP duo and GroV...I've been looking at both the AMP duo and GroVia hybrid.

And I agree I can't stand the smell of dirty or wet disposables (although we certainly still use them on occasion for various reasons) the urine mixed with whatever chemicals are in the diapers is awful- especially with Huggies.

The cleaning poop into the toilet can be messy. We're just getting into that as we've just recently started solids, so I don't have a ton of experience with it yet, but we've started with buying the flushable liners (yes, I know, more waste, but I think for us it will just be a temporary thing until her poops are a little more solid, then we'll go to some kind of scraper). The liner lays on top of your diaper and holds the poop but doesn't absorb liquid, then you just pick the whole thing up, put it in the toilet and flush it. I still think this is less messy than having to clean poop off baby's back when you have a blowout, but that's a personal preference.<br />3. If you have a blow out diaper, there will be poop on baby's clothes that goes through the wash too. Breastmilk poop is completely water soluble and dissolves. I've had no issues so far. Once baby is on solids, the majority of the poop will be going into the toilet, so very little should be getting into the washer. If your diapers are getting clean, your washer is clean. You can also clean your washer regularly if it's a concern.<br />I will say that you will probably want your husband completely on board before starting, otherwise you will likely end up doing all the diapering by yourself! Good luck!! :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092310391678005042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738095163086668275.post-47820169075581503242013-07-08T09:14:51.506-06:002013-07-08T09:14:51.506-06:00FYI: My husband has a few reasons for not wanting ...FYI: My husband has a few reasons for not wanting to cloth diaper. I'l' share them with you<br /><br />1. Upfront cost <br />2. he thinks they are messier (having to clean soiled matter into toilet)<br />3. the poop goes through the washing machine (?is this bad for washing machine)<br /><br />I'm still trying to convince him otherwise!Alyciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925009412306382490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738095163086668275.post-28860578257967450622013-07-05T19:41:49.204-06:002013-07-05T19:41:49.204-06:00We cloth diapered for almost 2 years until I retur...We cloth diapered for almost 2 years until I returned to work. I did disposable for night and when we went out of the house for extended periods of time (mostly for convenience). I used a soak pail for the diapers and only did one load a week. I also made my own diapers so they weren't fancy but they worked!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429840235701242256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738095163086668275.post-34250219375616269642013-07-05T17:58:29.811-06:002013-07-05T17:58:29.811-06:00Great post, Nancy.
