Cloth Diaper Event – SmartiPants (#Giveaway!)
Let's talk about one size diapers! They are either loved or hated. Held on a pedestal or highly criticized. I started cloth diapering with one size diapers, and loved them, but I also started cloth diapering when my little girl was 18 months. This makes a big difference. I have no experience cloth diapering a newborn, and after folding a one size diaper down to its smallest size, the amount of bulk is a good reason to criticize this diaper. Yet, ...
Cloth Diaper Event – Thirsties Duo Diaper (#Giveaway)
I love cloth diapers that give you options. The whole purpose of cloth diapering is to be better for the environment and also to save some money. If you had to purchase diapers for each size your baby grew into, it would defeat the purpose of cloth diapering to begin with! Thirsties had the right idea when they came out with their Duo Diaper. The Thirsties Duo Diaper is a two piece diaper that has a waterproof cover and an absorbent insert, which ...
Cloth Diaper Event – Lovely Pocket Diapers
Quickly after you become introduced to cloth diapers, you realize that many of them were actually designed by moms. Who else knows what they need in a cloth diaper than a mom!? Work at Home Mom or WAHMies have some of the best diapers out there - and they often go un-noticed. Melissa over at Lovely Pocket Diapers started her cloth diapering journey in 2010 and soon realized cloth diapering was a lot more expensive than she had anticipated. She ...
Cloth Diaper Event: Oh Katy Diapers (#Giveaway)
I had heard about Oh Katy Diapers from a fellow cloth diaper mommy who swore by them. After checking out their site and realizing they won Babble's 2011 Best Cloth Diaper award, I knew I had to try them myself. The first thing I noticed about Oh Katy Diapers is that they are very soft - inside and out. They aren't as stiff as other cloth diapers I used, and they had plenty of elastic to stretch well around various sized babies. The next ...
Cloth Diaper Event: AppleCheeks (#Giveaway)
After cloth diapering for about a month, I realized that One Size diapers really weren't meant to be worn from birth to potty training, no matter how trim the diaper was. When snapping a one size diaper to the smallest size, a lot of bulk is created in the material, plus the elastic around baby's little legs isn't enough to contain messes. Newborn diapers may only be worn for a few weeks, so some people opt out of the added expense ...
Cloth Diaper Event: Thanks Mama!
I consulted with a few people right before I made my first cloth diaper purchase. I wasn't sure what I wanted - Hybrids, All in One, All in Two, Applix, Snaps... you get the picture! Cloth diapering can be very daunting at first (until you finally understand the lingo and then it turns into an addiction!) Some people advised me to steer clear of All in One cloth diapers because they tend to be more expensive and do not dry quickly (I didn't have ...
Cloth Diaper Event: Sew is Your Baby (#Giveaway)
I can't resist cute diaper patterns! One of the things that actually drew me to cloth diapering was the cuteness and all the color options of the diapers. When my hubby first suggested cloth diapering to me, I was totally put off by the idea, but after researching a bit I realized it wasn't so bad and choosing colors would be fun! Sew is Your Baby offers a fun variety of colors and styles to suit your little one's personality (or outift!) From ...
