Diapering

Diaper Donation

I'm looking for a place in Portland to donate the leftover disposable diapers that my daughter has outgrown.  We have some newborn, size 1, and size 1-2.   I don't want to throw them away and would love to donate them.  Does anyone know of someplace that accepts disposable diapers for donation? 
Thanks,
Elise

gDiapers needs help at two upcoming Portland events

We’ve bitten off more than we can chew!

gDiapers will be participating in six events around the country over the next three weeks. Short of cloning our current staff, there’s no way we can do it all. Here’s your chance to work one or both Portland events. All you have to do is share your wealth of knowledge about gDiapers at our booth; in return, you’ll receive free gDiapers product. Sound like fun? Contact me at
michelle@gdiapers.com

Here are the event details:

Redirect Guide’s Green Sprouts Organic Baby and Family Fest
Saturday, Sept. 22 at Peninsula Park (map), Portland
Available shifts: 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. on Saturday

Available shifts: Sat, Sept. 28 from 9 am – 6:30 pm and Sunday, Sept 29 from 10 am – 5:30 pm

ISO: FuzziBunz

Help a fellow urban mama in need of Fuzzi Bunz

I am due in October and in frantic search of used, good condition Fuzzi Bunz. I need a size small and any color will do; inserts would be nice as well but a must. I would like about 5-10 of them. I am finding them incredibly difficult to find and quite $$$. Let me know if you have some you'd like to get rid of; willing to pay whatever is fair to both parties. Please email me if you can be of some assistance: tiffanycd@gmail.com. Peace.

Nikky Diaper Covers Wanted!

For Sale: Lot o' Dipes!

Man oh man, I remember the day I posted our Fuzzi Bunz on craigslist. I had a buyer within 7 minutes and said buyer met us within the hour for the pick up. Very sweet!

For Sale: Bella Band, G-diapers

Chanda ( chandah@gmail.com ) has a couple of things she's wanting to part with:

I have a barely-used black Bella Band, size sm./medium.  Asking $17 for this very helpful accessory!

Also: a gDiapers "Starter Kit" in size sm./med.  Completely intact in the box, except is missing 2 of the 10 flushable dipes.  These are great diapers, but by the time we got our act together to use them, our baby was too big!  This "Starter Kit" was $25 at Whole Foods---make me an offer.
