Cloth Diapering Me v. Militant Cloth Diaper Moms

So recently I started cloth diapering. I know its late in the game, I missed out on cloth for his first year. I tried it when he was little but I didn't have enough to cloth diaper consistently. And he grew out of them so fast that I couldn't keep up. Many of the fancy diapers I had were only worn once. They were all in ones so once they were dirty I had to get a new diaper. I think I would have done better had I used cover and fitted diapers or prefold old school diapers. Most of the problem I had with diapering was the upfront cost. Non cloth diaperers are always freaked out by the poop. What do you do with the poop? Evan taught me to be comfortable with poop early on. He consistently had blow outs and still has them quite frequently. Poop? I can handle that part. The money part is the issue. True cloth diapers will save your pocketbook in the long run but they are an initial investment. It was much easier for me to use a good coupons and save a great deal on diapers. Now that Evan is a giant, disposable diapers are expensive and they are not working like they used to. No matter what I do, he pees out of them at night. I needed to find a solution.
I did my research. Modern cloth diapers a great. They come with snaps or velcro and many can grow with your child so you only need to invest once. I felt that pocket diapers and all in ones were too much of an investment. I wanted a diaper with an liner and a shell. Something I could change the dirty part and keep using the cover til it got dirty. If I did it right I could use a few covers a day and just change the inside. I have good friends that use prefolds and think they are great. The could be great to me. I came across a deal on Trend Lab diapers. They are new to the market, they have a microfiber insert that is very absorbent and a very leak resistant cover. Just snap out the dirty liner and snap in a clean one. If the cover gets dirty or wet, change that too. I got them and I love them. It held up all night and cleared up a diaper rash over night with no creams or ointments. I got a snug fit. Evan, Eric and I like them.
Well other people don't like them. They seem to be good for newbies but not for people who are serious about cloth diapering. The message boards and reviews made me feel bad about my purchase. Microfiber should never touch a baby's skin. Says who? I'll be the first to tell you that I hate how some microfiber feels, but this isn't itchy and absorbs well and quickly. Hey if shamwow made a diaper. I'd probably use it.
I belong to a cloth diapering group on FB. I've checked out cloth diapering message boards. They all hate Trend Lab. I feel like I'm back in highschool and I'm not wearing the right clothes and am therefore clueless. So many cloth diaperers are elitist and militant. Many like collecting cloth diapers and are always on the look out for new patterns. That's fine, but its not me. I like the idea of saving money, and not polluting more than I already do. I'm not into organic food or organic cotton. I'm average. I looked into many of the CD freaks. I share somethings in common. I breastfeed, I bedshare, I babywear (when I can), I pretty much attachment parent. But I do not share an important ideology that is common to the militants. I vaccinate my child. Vaccines are very important to me and I don't buy into that mularcky about vaccines and autism. I could never be friends with someone like that. Its a question of values that I feel strongly about.

Parenting is a process. People will always look down on you and many will tell you that you are doing something wrong. There will always be a person who consider themselves as wiser or more experienced or better educated. People will always say that they have been through tougher things when you talk about a struggle or issue or they will tell you that their kid is better when you share the good. I like my diapers and that is all.
