In this age of technology it seems that everyone has the latest phone, the latest apps, and talks with people on the most popular social networking sites. Cloth diaperers are definitely not the exception. We aren't the hippi moms that you might think of. I can't live without my iPhone or laptop, I'm addicted to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, and of course I have to have the latest apps for my phone like Angry Birds, and ...
Fluff Stash.
Yes, I said Fluff Stash. It's the new iPhone app made just for us cloth diaperers that love their technology as well as their diapers and want to share that love with everyone in an organized, high tech way. I downloaded the application just a couple days ago and I've already got my first diapers entered in and labeled so I never forget when I got them, what they are, or what they looked like if I decide to sell them in the future.

When you first open the application it will say that your stash is empty. How sad is that? Time to add your first diaper. Click the little camera on the lower left side of the screen and snap a picture of your diaper. I like to put mine on a white piece of paper so that the background doesn't distract from the diaper and all the pictures look uniform. If your picture looks good then click "Use". It'll now be in your library.

| *Info/Properties Page* |
The next thing to do is add some information to your picture. Just click on the double arrow icon at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up four options (Import, Share, Image Info, and Delete). Click on "Image Info" then select your diaper photo. This will bring up the information sheet. Here you can record the color of the diaper, the size of the diaper, the brand of the diaper, and the type of diaper that it is. You can also add a caption to your picture. I like to re-write the details of the diaper here as well as where I bought the diaper and how much it cost (ex: Weehuggers/Cover/Snap/Size-1/Purchased-Fluff Envy $16.99). Now click "Done".

| *View of Single Entry* |
Voila! You have finished your first diaper entry and now you can start on the next one. After you've finished entering your stash of diapers you can now start sharing your pictures with others. Just click the double arrow icon at the bottom of the screen again and then click the "Share" button. You can share via E-mail, Facebook, Twitter, or send the photo to your iPhone library. Another thing you can do after you've entered all your stash is search your stash. At the top of the main stash library screen that shows all your diapers is a search bar. Just type in the color of the diaper, the size, the type, or the brand, and it will bring up all the diapers with that search word. Lastly, if you need to delete one of your photo entries, you can do that by clicking on the double arrows at the bottom of the main screen, selecting "Delete", and then selecting the entries that you want to delete.
Although I love this application, there are some things that I would hope to see in future versions of this application. First off, when entering colors into the info page, it would be nice if you could select multiple colors for a diaper and have the option to search each of these multiple colors. Most of my diapers have more than one color on them. Second, it would be nice if it had a pull down menu for where you purchased the diaper from, how much it cost, when you sold it, and how much you sold it for. For now I just put all this information in my caption box which is ok. Third, it would be great if instead of having to type in my selections in the search menu, it would just have an advanced search screen with pull down menus for each of the search options. That way I wouldn't have to remember exactly how it was typed into the pull down screen and I could search multiple criteria at once. Fourth, when I share my pictures via e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter, it would be nice if it included all the information with the picture. As of now it just sends the picture. I'm sure as time goes on Fluff Stash will make a lot of these changes, but until then I'm having a lot of fun entering in my stash and sharing it with others as it grows and grows.
Overall I would give this application 3 out of 4 Stars. With a few improvements it could be a 4 star application. Definitely worth the money you spend for it though and a great addition to my
