Hi everyone 👋🏼
I am opening the wait list back up as I’ve received some more donations. Please PM this page if you are interested in getting on the wait list or especially if you have donations to pass along! I don’t have enough for any newborns right now. I will respond to determine eligibility and then determine what size/style is best for your little ones. My ability to travel far and deliver diapers is limited, so please be understanding of that if you live outside of Huntington or Allen county.

One is a newborn set and it’s been a long time since I’ve had enough small enough sizes to make a set!

Thank you to everyone who had donated! I have quite a bit again! Life is busy so it’s taking me more time o go through everything. I’m amazed as someone drove from Ohio to give me a HUGE donation, more than probably 3-4 sets worth. This Best Bottoms lot is all ready to go and has been claimed.

This is the latest set put together for a baby girl 😍 And at this moment, we now don’t have enough diapers for any other babies with quite a wait list. If anyone has a donation I would be very pleased to receive it and get it out quickly to another family. We have plenty of MF inserts, newborn sized prefolds and about a dozen covers. But no pockets, bigger prefolds or inserts that can go inside of covers. Of course we’d be happy for anything, but pockets have always been the most popular.

I have 2 sets of diapers all fixed and ready for new homes! Please reach out to me if you are interested in cloth diapers. These are for families who would like to try cloth diapers but have financial barriers to being able to purchase them. There are enough diapers that you would wash every 2-3 days.

Last load of this donation is in the dryer. That laundry basket is full of inserts that arent microfiber! Makes me want to dance 👏🏼

Receiving donations is such a blessing because that’s the only way this organization exists! I’m thankful each time we get donations of any kind. A side plug, I just used the last Mighty Bubbles and would greatly appreciate a donation of mighty bubbles or money for them (or you can buy on Amazon and have them mailed here).

But receiving donations takes a lot of work to make sure the diapers we are giving away are safe and suitable. Every diaper is inspected to see if it is still usable, this includes examining the pul, elastics and closures (snaps or H&L). While staining isn’t nice, and I try to treat all stains naturally, we still provide stained diapers because staining doesn’t impact their use.

After inspection every donation is washed and sanitized. This means they are clean, no risk of fungus or bacteria, and without any buildup. Then everything is put together - diapers are stuffed, inserts are snapped or set in, and the diaper rise is set to where I estimate the child will be.

Just wanted to share some tips for long term diaper storage.

Your diapers need to breathe! If they do not have airflow they can dry rot and ruin your elastics. If there is any locked moisture they could be ruined by mold or mildew. You also want to make sure it’s temperature regulated (not too hot or cold) and out of direct sun.

One of the best and cheapest way to store is in a zipzed up pillowcase, bonus is that it’s cheap too! There are also companies that make specific diaper storage bags (planetwise). Storing diapers in wetbags, plastic totes or cardboard boxes isn’t a good choice because it doesn’t have enough airflow. You could also use mesh bags or laundry baskets.

I’ve received many donations over the year with ruined elastics that I’m sure was due to improper storage.

Another set given away for a baby due in February :)

Last 2 sets of diapers and now I’ll enjoy a 3 week break for Christmas 💚❤️💚❤️ I still have 2 sets claimed that I’ll put together in January but have plenty diapers for more babies. If you have a need or are curious about cloth diapers, please message the page and I’ll check in after January 9. I can also get back to collecting donations then too.
Merry Christmas! Stay warm fluff butts 😄
