Hey!

Well, it's been a minute since I posted. Between working 2 jobs, and fasting for lent/cutting back food eaten to cut costs, I have lost weight in a very rapid and dramatic fashion. My baseline was about 43 inches, 240 lbs. Up until 2 months ago. Size large products generally fit.
As of right now, my weight is 220, and my waist is 39 and my hip is 40-41. My waist is already well below the size range for ATNS..their min range is 45.. I a handful of size large dry direct left. I bought 1 fitted from Ecoable in size medium to try the fit.. it fit well before washing. Everything fits that I have in my inventory, but it is almost too big. Right now, I am wearing an EH-8 flannel prefold from angel fluff, and I can tell that it is slightly too big. I can tweak it to have a good seal at legs and the waist, but one can easily tell that this diaper was designed for someone with a larger frame.

I am trying to figure out the best solution. As of right now, I am $10,000+ in debt (long story), so I really don't want to go out and buy new diapers, cloth or disposable unless I really have to.
What have others done who suddenly find they need to go down a size but minimize costs?

Peace out!

Rob

That debt must constrain you. Good luck paying it down. I like washables because they can be pinned, unpinned, and re-pinned as necessary to assure a good fit. And they last for many years of hard use, which makes them financially viable despite their high initial cost.
