How did Bougie Bottoms Cloth begin?
I had my first babe in September of 2021. While I was pregnant, I was looking for ways to contribute to our household income by saving money. I decided to try cloth diapers but had SO many questions and NO IDEA where to start. What is a pocket diaper? What is an insert? What's the difference between insert materials? What do you do with a poop diaper? Where do you put a dirty diaper between washes? How the heck do you wash diapers??? You get the idea. These are all legitimate questions, but I spent more time than I want to think about trying to find the answers. I didn't know what resources and websites were reliable. I just wanted to talk to an actual person with experience who could answer my questions. Unfortunately, I didn't know any mamas (or daddys) who cloth diapered and there were no places that I knew of to go for help. I was determined to make it work and learned through a lot of trial and error. I ended up falling in LOVE with cloth diapers. Throughout my whole process of learning, a seed was planted for my desire to be the resource I needed for others. In 2022, an opportunity came up that allowed my husband and I to purchase a building in downtown Americus. This building was truly perfect in allowing my seed to become a reality for our growing community and the surrounding areas. Now, I am here and publicly available to educate, support and encourage others to succeed in their own cloth journey.
