Day 2: The 3rd Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge

Today is Day 2 of the Flats and Handwashing Challenge hosted by Dirty Diaper Laundry. For 7 days and nights, we're using only flats with covers and handwashing/air drying. Today I'm going to tell you about the supplies I'm using during the challenge. I actually didn't purchase any of it new for this specifically, but I will break down the cost of all the items I'm using to give you an idea of just how inexpensively this can be done!

Flats-

*One 6-pack Imagine Bamboo Flats $19.95

*Two 6-packs of Imagine Printed Flats (1 Rawr, 1 Tree Friends) $14.95 each, $29.90 total

Covers-

*Two Imagine One-Size All-in-Two Diaper Covers $11.95 each, $23.90 total

*Two Imagine One-Size Diaper Covers, $8.95 each but one was free with a Nicki's Diapers Special of Buy two 6-packs and get a free cover! 

*One Thirsties Duo Wrap Size 2, $12.25

*One Bummis Pull-On (this is specifically for my overnight diaper) $6.50

Total- $101.45, all purchased at Nicki's Diapers

Realistically, this could be done on even less! You could get basic cotton flats rather than printed or bamboo flats and save $10-$15, and you could even get away with 12 flats if you're planning to wash every day. I have 5 day time covers since we're using them with our childcare provider and they're not re-using the cover each time, so here is another place you could reduce your costs but using 3-4 covers. 

I'm handwashing in a bucket I found in our laundry room, so my washing system was free :) 

Pictured below is my FAVORITE combination so far... an Imagine Printed Flat padfolded in an Imagine All-in-Two Cover. More on that tomorrow... including some action shots!
