workhorses or sandys?

[2wonderfulboys]

I know that I want to get some fitteds....but which ones?! I have had both and like them both. I would just get some of each, but I'm trying to stick with 1 type. I need help deciding! Sway me

That is a tough question to answer. Work horses are a bit cheaper.

I have been posting about this very same thing. I got quite a lot of recs for sandys, but definitely still some for the workhorse. My dd wants to use the bamboo sandys, and they are 3x the cost of the nb workhorse. We are going with mostly workhorse, but some sandys for naps and nighttime, just cuz they are SO soft and amazing!!

I personally prefer workhorses but I can only compare them to organic cotton sandies. The main reason I prefer workhorses is because of the way the snaps are on the sandies. I just found them less convenient. I have friends who prefer the "side snaps". Regular bamboo loses its softness and bounce over time (not sure how long or for how many babies you plan to use this) and cotton just gets softer. Just my 2 cents.

I prefer the bamboo Sandys. So much softer! I like the fit too.

I had this same dilemma. I love workhorses and I love Sandy's. We now have all Sandy's. It came down to body type and leak prevention. My youngest has a crazy big belly, wide hips and big bottom. With his body type I would get a weird fit with the workhorses and the elastic on the back was not keeping in the poop. With Sandy's they are 100% leak proof. No poop blowouts ever on these. Also my guy has reflux so the side snaps work best for his belly.

Now on my daughter who is much more petite with small hips and bottom I LOVED workhorse and was going to sell all my Sandy's because they were bulky on her. So I guess it depends. We had half and half for a while because I couldn't decide.

I prefer Sandys over Workhorses, but the inbetween small and large phase can be frustrating, it's a big leap between sizes!

FWIW: I had tiny babies and small sandys worked great once the umbilical cord fell off and they were pretty trim. (I used them at 7lbs or so) Id have to find a pic on the main computer but the smalls are actually doable on a newborn and would last a long time


Id get Sandys if you want snaps. But if you like Snapless then Id go with the WH. But I prefer the fit of the snaps with Sandys.

I would be getting the organic cotton sandys, if I buy any. YDS always had a reaction to bamboo. I am not sure if DD is sensitive, but I skip it just in case.

Very tough call! They are both great for such different reasons.
