Hello everybody. I began this blog because as I was searching around about cloth diapers, I got a little bit confused, so I said to share my experience with anyone who has questions, just like me. Everyhting started one and a half year ago...

Yes, we have one in Greece too...


   Today I am very happy, because, as I was searching, I discovered one mam doing cloth diapers here in Greece, in Chania!
    Aimee  is a New-Yorker who married a Greek from Chania. She has three children and she has created Angel Bean that makes great diapers, fitted for now... (i.e. with sizes) with wraps of great design!
   You can find her also on facebook and do not hesitate to email her for any question.

I think I will undust my mother's sewing machine...

       While searching, (one more time), I discovered that in Greece we are in deep darkness, regarding cloth diapers! I meen all us not having any idea about cloth diapers, because the users-mamas already know about these stuff! (check out  "γαϊτανάκι"  and the "Hellenic Cloth Diaper Service")
    Abroad there are webpages shelling materials to sew you own cloth diapers (fabric, snaps, patterns for any kind of cloth diapers).
I have selected some webpages for you to take a look;

There are also some where, for free, you can get instructions, like;

If you want it, you can do it. Although it needs  some free time...
The modern working mother does not have much of the latter! Imagine bei=ng an amateur like myself! Then you need a loooot more of free time to sew the cloth diapers by yourself!

Where from can I buy cloth diapers?

In Greece you can find cloth diapers from "Lito", (I could not find any other "real" store)and these e-shops;


babynatural (Popolini, Lotties)
babyseeds (BumGenius)
ecobaby (Bambinex, BumGenius, Storchenkinder, Popolini, Mamabless, Disana, Grobaby, LoveyBums)
ecofamily (InmseVimse, Bambinex)
gabi (Popolini)
monogiapaidakia (ImseVimse, Swaddlebees, Real Easy, Motherease, Wonderoo, Econappi, Minki, FuzziBunz, Blueberry, Starbunz....that' all, I hope....)
mybabycenter (I only found cloth diaper's accesorize).


What I really did not like was that someone like me (curious!) cannot buy many different brands from a Greek e-shop. On the contrary you can find more than 30 brands from the e-shops abroad (mostly UK). So, you buy more with less shipping cost (buying from Greece different stuff would mean different shops therefore more shipping cost!)  
Me, I used the funkymonkeypants. I could pay trough Pay Pal, which was crucial. Emma was really helpful and I got my order after one week with only 3,5 pounds=4,1 euros (not bad...)
Even the price of the diapers was a little bit better than buying from Greece...
