Slomo said:Ok, so just curious. Why have more than 1 or 2 different brands on hand? Don't you know which one works best for the lowest price? I guarantee, more than half of those are going to cost a lot more, or not fit well enough to trust, or both.
I enjoy trying new diapers. I also tend to buy a case of them to try, IF I'm confident I know I have the size correct. I also am a sucker for sales
Those Abena Xplus/4's you see on the middle shelf on the right... those were being sold (for some reason) at a reasonable price, AND buy-1-get-1-free. We descended on them like locusts, and they were sold out inside four days iirc. (I got four cases, but a few IC here were discussing MUCH larger purchases, we're talking palate-quantity)
Anyway, some of those are just going through them to clear them out. Like those totaldry plus on the left side of that same shelf. Those were my daily wear-to-work diaper for awhile so I had some on-hand still when switched to snuggies. THEN snuggies quit selling them like 3 months later so guess what ELSE I have some of on hand? Now my daily wear is preschool plastic, but I still have bags of the other two I just wear whenever I need to toss something on for a few hours and don't want to waste a good diaper.
I have some higher quality ones I'm not reordering also. You can't miss the cyan shell of the little squirts on the bottom. They were my first purchase from Rearz. I've since gotten their Vintage (which are a white shell and light AB pattern on the front, plus four tapes, all on the same base shell as the LS) but THEY are also out of production. (please quit doing that!!) So I have maybe 2 bags of LS left to wear whenever. I'd order more safari from them but their shipping is astronomical and my bank hates canada so I've been buying them from Bambino since they started carrying them in the US. (I don't happen to have any safari in the case ATM)
So, theoretically, the variety in that cabinet should go down, it's just that right at the moment I have a number of models I need to use up.
But you must admit, it's a sight to see! Pretty sure it would have been a mind-blowing event for me to see that a decade ago.
