Making my own Inserts

Well, I made a valiant effort in making my own diaper inserts. The materials I used were microfiber towels, old infant bath towels, and flannel receiving blankets. I made several different types...some resembling simple microfiber inserts, some like the G-flappers, and some like gCloth. The G-flappers way didn't work very well for me. So those were taken apart and made into other types. My favorite was the kind I made like the gCloth. They are just simple and fit great into her diapers. They have one layer of flannel, 3 layers of microfiber, and 1 layer of terrycloth. Honestly, I'm not thoroughly happy with them, but they definitely work. I think the biggest problem I had with them is that they aren't as trim as I would like. I'm used to the disposable diapers that are extremely thin, and I haven't exactly gotten over that yet! Because of that, I picked up 6 gCloth inserts (made by gDiapers). They are hemp with a layer of cotton on top of it. They are great!! Love, love, love them! I'm sure I'll end up getting more gCloth in the future, they are great in all of the shells I have! Sassy likes them too- the cotton is so soft against her skin! I'll keep the ones I made and they'll be my backups when everything else is in the wash. Overall, a good try, but I won't be trying to make them any more. They are very labor intensive, which shows me why they generally cost so much!
