Stretching Your Cloth Diaper Dollar Tips

Real Cloth Diapers I've bought from E-bay. The 3 cloth diapers were sold individually.
I bought them for a total of $11.51. That's 3 cloth diapers for less than $12!

Buying From E-bay

The website I have bought the majority of my cloth diapers and cloth diapering products on is e-bay. There are always so many listings for cloth diapers. It's a great place to buy without breaking the bank and splurging on the cutest designs, sometimes below retail.

Is it worth buying?

How I personally decide if a listing is worth it is I calculate how much my bid or the buy it now price is with the shipping divided by the number of cloth diapers or items I am receiving. My motto is the higher the price, the more cloth diapers/products should be in the lot (selling more than 1 item). I also avoid buying from listings where they are selling single diapers for $10-12 +. I usually try not to spend more than $5-6 dollars on a single diaper.

Buying Cloth Diapers from China

When I am buying off E-bay, I like to buy the brands offered in Asia. Mostly, because they have cheaper prices and free or cheap shipping. When searching for them on E-bay, you can type cloth diapers from China or Asia to narrow down your results from all the cloth diapering listings. Link: E-Bay: Cloth Diapers from China Search

Bidding on Cloth Diapers from China

The ones I like to go for if I am bidding are the ones that start at $0.01 – 0.99 with free shipping or some that have $1.99-2.99 shipping. If many people do not bid on it, it can stay at $0.99 or often get up to $10 dollars. Sometimes the bids can go past that. However, I stop bidding if bids are going pass $10 dollars. I don’t like to pay more than $5 dollars for a single cloth diaper. Below is an example of my purchase of a cloth diaper from China. Click on the photo to see it in better detail. In my photo, it says the bid started at $0.99 and the shipping $2.99. I was the only bid, bringing my grand total for one cloth diaper without an insert to $3.98. It was cheap, affordable, and super cute. This design has been one of my favorites!

Sometimes Cheaper Prices, Longer Waits
I agree when you look at the shipping dates for how long an item coming from Asia can take to arrive, it can be a huge turn-off. However, it is coming from another country and that takes times. I would still recommend buying from Asia and not letting that scare you from potential great deals. I would say to any new cloth diaper buyer, if you score a great deal from Asia, try to find other deals that will ship to you faster, so that if it takes several weeks to a month or two for the Asia purchases to arrive, you still have other cloth diapers arriving sooner.

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief. 2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
