Audrey started off in prefolds and covers, which isn't as bad as it sounds, and moved into bumGenius OS aplix when she was about 2 months. She stayed using primarily the BGs until she was around 6 months. We only had 8 BGs, and we waited until after 6 months to start solids. Once we started solids, we needed more diapers. So, we bought 10 of a knock-off brand that was just launched for $5/diaper . That is insanely cheap for diapers. They held up fine until a few months ago. The PUL on all but 3 completely disintegrated. But, they lasted a year, so that's really not THAT bad. Seriously, how many people spend more than $55 a month on diapers? And we spent that for a year.
So, we bought some new ones since BG is having a sale - buy 5, get 1 free. So, I got 12 for the price of 10. We're splitting them 60-40 between Auds and Tony. We still use the original BGs, so this brings our total to 8 aplix, 8 snaps, and 3 knock-off brand. That's nearly 20 diapers for Auds. And I'm sure we'll get more, but for now, that's pretty good. For Tony we have now 5 covers and a bunch of prefolds, 8 or 10 FuzziBunz, and 4 BGs.
Well, our diapers came in today! I was so excited!
Check it out!
So what did we do with the bad diapers? I gave them to Auds to put on her babies. She had been using her old covers and some sposies that she stole from her friends. But now she's just thrilled that her babies are in all cloth. She is a little confused that they're wearing her diapers, but I think that will pass when she starts wearing the new ones.

And some of her other babies. There's a whole slew of them now.
Proud of her work.
She's so cute!
