A to Z Challenge: R is for Red.

Sticking with the cloth diaper theme for the week, today R is for Red diapers! Red is another one of those diaper colors that I adore. The list of my favorite colors includes orange, red, black, gray, and brown. I also love pinks but we're not going down that road yet! Maybe in the future, but for now I will stick with my neutral colors.

On to the red diapers! I own just one red diaper and it is actually a bit large for W right now so he hasn't gotten to wear it. I own a red Happy Heiny pocket. I found some Happy Heinys on sale a few weeks ago and they only had the red in large but I wanted it! W is in size medium right now so we have a while before it will fit him but I still love knowing that it's in our stash!

There are plenty of other red diapers out there that have me drooling! Let's see a few and maybe I'll be able to spread the red diaper love!

Envibum has a red MINKY diaper! Be still my heart! Envibum is a wonderful company because every diaper gives back through a donation to a charitable organization!

AppleCheeks offers a diaper in crimson red. We had two AppleCheeks as part of our newborn/smaller stash and I really liked them! They fit W very early!

Fuzzibunz in watermelon! I haven't had a chance to use any Fuzzibunz so I'm not sure if this is a true red but I love the name!

Rumparooz and Lil' Joeys are available in crimson.

This is just a small selection of red diapers on the market and I have seen a number of adorable red diapers on Etsy and Hyena cart. One worry I have about red diapers is washing with the rest of my diapers. I have a fear that they will turn the rest of my diapers some shade of pink! I did wash our Happy Heiny alone at first but I will probably end up throwing it in with the rest once it's in the rotation!

A to Z Challenge: O is for Orange (diapers!)

I decided to focus my challenge posts on cloth diapers this week! So today O is for Orange diapers and I have decided to highlight some of my favorite orange diapers because orange just happens to be one of my favorite colors. The orange diapers in my stash are one Comfy Rumps pocket, two Thirsties Fab Fitteds (one old style and one duo), a Thirsties Duo Wrap size 1, a Rumparooz Lil' Joey, and a few Clementine bumGenius AIOs and OS 3.0s. I would love to have more! This is not a complete list of all the orange diapers available in the cloth diapering world, but there are the few that I own and others that I admire. Here are ten diapers available in orange!

I'll start with the ones I own.

Many other diaper makers make orange diapers as well. Some of these include: Blueberry, Tiny Tush, Softbums, Bottom Bumpers, GroVia, and Monkey Doodlez. If you have any favorite orange diapers that I've missed, I'd love to hear about them!

Cloth Diapers: Free Shipping

When I was beginning to build a stash for W last year, there was one thing I found myself looking for very quickly when deciding which diaper sites to purchase from and that was free shipping! If there was a great sale going on, then I might have been willing to pay for shipping but it had to be affordable. Once I found some great shops that offered free shipping with no minimum, I was sold!

Maybe I'm spoiled, but it's even worse now. In recent times I have yet to find a sale that is good enough for me to be willing to pay for shipping! I've been spoiled by the sites that don't and also by Amazon Mom. If you're like me and prefer not to pay shipping, I wanted to mention the shops I buy from (and love) that offer free shipping with no minimum order purchase.

Wee Little Changes is one of my newest favorites and if you're looking for quick and FREE shipping on ALL U.S. orders, check them out! I also have a referral button on the left sidebar if you're interested in making a purchase!

I have purchased a great deal of my stash from Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique. The customer service is amazing. There was a problem with one of my orders once and it was resolved quickly as soon as it was noticed. Quick and FREE shipping on all U.S. orders!

Abby's Lane is the other shop where I have purchased a good chunk of our diapers. She offers FREE shipping on all U.S. orders and a 5% discount code for her newsletter readers!

Amazon Mom also offers FREE 2-day shipping on items sold by Amazon. I have gotten a few cloth related items using my Amazon Mom membership. The items available that are actually sold by Amazon are fairly limited, so you have to be very careful. I have purchased a GroVia shell with soakers, extra GroVia soakers, a Thirsties Fab Fitted Duo, and two Thirsties Duo Wraps. I know there are also some FuzziBunz that qualify. My items from Amazon always arrive within the 2 day period so it's a nice program if what you are looking for is sold by Amazon! If you're interested, check out my referral button on the left sidebar.

I also combine my Amazon Mom discounts with Amazon gift cards I earn using my Swagbucks. If you're not into Swagbucks and would like to learn more about it, just drop me an email. I would love to chat with you about it. I'm not insane when it comes to earning but since I joined at the end of July 2010, I have earned enough Swagbucks for 28 Amazon gift cards. At $5 each, this works out to $140! If you're looking for a referral link, you're welcome to use mine.

I have purchased from other places, especially when looking for used items or when making a sale purchase. Last year around Earth Day there were a number of good sales that made some of the shipping costs worth paying based on what I was saving on the diapers. But most of the time I am all about the free shipping!
