World of Cloth



Things that wont happen in cloth......



Welcome to the world of cloth! YES i am an addict, and please, DON'T send help!
My cloth addiction if you will, started out as a necessity that soon evolved into a whirl wind of love. I started off with 6  3.0 BumGenuis pocket diapers, and from there i went on to try various brands and materials, hey, there could have been 'better' diaper out there, right? how else was i going to know :p. I currently own 60 + diapers and 20 something brands. In this blog entry i will be reviewing those diapers. Every thing from 'cloth lingo' to diaper prices, to my storing and washing routine. I have been cloth diapering for well over a year (since my 2 yr old was 5 months) and have fallen in love with MOST styles and ALL prints. To save space i unfortunately  wont be putting up all of my diapers, but you are more than welcome to peak at the complete stash on my Face Book page.(here) I Hope you find this blog post to be informative as well as fun, feel free to ask questions....enjoy :)

CLOTH DIAPER LINGO


PUL = polyurethane laminate (water proofing)
AOI   = all in one
AI2   =  all in 2
POCKET = diaper with opening at one or both ends that allows stuffing option
FITTED = snug fitting diaper that is made from natural fibers that absorb as a whole
EUC  = excellent used condition
SIZED = meant for a certain size range
ONE SIZE = fits from birth to potty training 


RATINGS
I will rate each diaper with '5 star' ratings, except i will be using hearts :)
please keep in mind that these rating are what  " I " think of the diapers, for my children and the children i have used them on. What one diaper i may despise, may end up being another persons perfect fit.


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥  = LOVE THE DIAPER
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥     = great diaper would recommend 
♥ ♥ ♥        = diapers alright you get what  you pay for
 ♥           =  poorly made wish i never spent the money
♥              = WHY, JUST WHY !?!?!?!?! *covers face in shame



STORAGE
THIS HERE BIN IS WHERE ALL CLOTH IS STORED AFTER WASHING

CONTAINER FOR ALL THINGS DIRTY

THIS HERE PAIL IS WHERE ALL THINGS DIRTY GO!
A LOCK LID PAIL LIKE THIS GOES FOR $10 BUCKS AT THE DOLLAR STORE

THE DIAPER SPRAYER

THIS WONDERFUL INVENTION IS VERY HELPFUL IT ALLOWS YOU TO SPRAY OFF ALL THE POOP PRIOR TO PUTTING IT IN PAIL, ALTHOUGH NOT A NECESSITY , IT COMES IN HANDY.


WASHING



IM CURRENTLY USING & LOVING CRUNCHY CLEAN  LAUNDRY DETERGENT,THAT I PURCHASED FROM OUR LOCAL CLOTH DIAPERING STORE, the DIAPER LAB. AFTER LUNA PROTESTED AGAINST MY 'GO-TO' ORIGINAL POWDERED TIDE..WHO KNEW ENZYMES COULD CAUSE A NASTY RASH :(


Here i have put washing instructions on an index card 
put in a photo magnet on top of washer. I wash every
3 to 4 days. Making sure ALL diapers are separated from
rightful inserts, empty into washer. Wash on small or med
load (depending on how many diapers, no more than 15 in a 
small load to ensure proper water circulation) NO detergent
to loosen up 'dirt' in diapers. then another wash WITH 2 1/2
TBSP of Crunchy Clean, rinse and all diapers on MED heat for
MAX time :)


Wipes


I also use cloth wipes, or 'baby face cloths' 
they go into diaper pail with all things dirty :)
you can purchase fancy ones online, make your
own or buy cheapies like these at your local store.


THE STASH


BumGenuis $19.95
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 
A pocket diaper, with a 3 step
rise, ranging from 8 -35lbs
complete with PUL &2 micro fiber soakers
one full size that snaps down & one
infant size, that can act as a doubler.



I can honestly say that i haven't had a single issue with these diapers
the fit is great but i would prefer snap & thats when there 4.0 diaper comes in.



2 yr old apx 26 lbs


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 
a sleeve style diaper that opens on
both ends, allowing the insert to agitate
out in the wash, with a hidden layer of 
PUL  diaper will fit 8-35bs. & includes one
soaker

                                      
I am very pleased with this diaper as its the only brand i know to ever 'hide' there PUL
so that its never touched by hands, while stuffing. with its basic style & strong snaps
this diaper i would recommend for sure 
snapped down all the way on a 10lb infant
 snapped down on a 9 month old

♥ ♥ ♥
happy heiny's  are a one size PUL cloth
diaper, with a 4 step rise & fleece inner
 made to fit babies 8-35lbs comes with
2 microfiber inserts.
these diapers  have weak snaps compared to other diapers
and have a messy look to me. after time the fleece inner gets very thin.
these diapers will fit larger babies but for smaller ones the fit isnt that great


RUMPAROOZ  $23.50
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ /  ♥ ♥ ♥ 
i one size diaper that goes from 6-35 lbs
with fleece inner & award winning gussets
also has a 'poopscoop' back to ensure no
' blow outs' comes with a 6rSoaker.



 Inner gussets
fully undone, and yes its a short rise :/
 fits great on newborns and smaller children
 10 mo old
I really want to 'love' this diaper, but i have had de-laminating  issues
with ALL 7 of my diapers, that were purchased at different times :(
Kanga care was great and replaced most of them. the rise is very short and my now 26lb
2y old, is barely fitting them.

 ♥ 
Gdiapers are a sized system, that are
sold by the 2 pack, including 2 water
proof snap in inserts, that hold either
there disposable inserts or cloth
(sold separate)
This diaper as shown is made to have the tabs in the back
to avoid 'child removal'

Really dislike the design of this diaper, as the inner snaps
rub up against baby causing pinched skin and little
bruising :/ also when child grows and tabs move diaper
becomes very uncomfortable. wouldn't recommend :/
Lovey bums $20.99
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
organic fitted diapers are made with soft, 
absorbent 100% organic fleece and have
soakers lined with 100% organic velour.
 sized  10 -40 lbs
 Overall this diaper fits good, but isnt as absorbent as i'd like
great for naps but not over nights w/ out a doubler
Newborn
Inner Ai2

♥ ♥ ♥
this is a one size pocket
 diaper with a tongue style insert,
 that stays attached to diaper
im not really impressed with this diapers as they have a messy
appearance and even snapped down to the smallest setting it wont
fit a 12 lb baby, fixtures are snap and oddly placed extremely close to the
top of the diaper. safe to say im not impressed.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
this is a one sized fitted 10 -40 lbs with a fold over snaps
to adjust rise. this diaper has Three body layers of micro
fiber inner and a yummy bamboo velour inner fabric
 this diaper is wonderful, beautiful prints matched with super
softness and great absorption. its def a favorite in my household

 WOULD DEF RECOMMEND :)


  Bottom Bumpers $20.95
 ♥
is a side snapping trim PUL sized diaper
with a snap in insert made of layers of 
cotton topped with a bamboo velour

 I find these diaper infact to be quit trim, but also narrow
lacking proper elasticized legs, causing it to not be 'blow-out' 
safe, i also do not find it to be absorbent enough, after one
pee this diaper is DONE! :/

BabyKicks $21.97
this organic one sized fitted that comes
with a joey bunz insert. Made of luxurious
 50% certified organic cotton,for softness
33% natural hemp for absorbency &
17%% polyester for stretch. complete with a front 
pocket which allows for adding inserts, and mess free
removal.
 Completely undone
 Completely snapped down
This diaper even went as far as to fit quite snugly on 
my 7lb newborn, with no insert and snappi 'd shut!
great diapers for an all around fit from birth to potty :)


Fuzzibunz $19.97

is a one sized trim fitting diaper that 
is adjusted by inner elastic, inner fabric 
is fleece lined & includes replacement 
elastics along with 2 micro fiber inserts
Much like the bottom bumpers this is a narrow
fitting diaper, that from my experience leaks alot!
i find there inserts to not be 'universal' like most, but 
both small and larger inserts seem to be too small for 
this diaper, soo not impressed :/


 

Rocky Mountain diaper $18.95
♥ ♥ ♥ 
one-sized pocket diaper USA made,
 that grows with your baby! They feature 
an *Internal Adjustment System that allows
 for a trim fit tailored to your baby's body type, 
without a complicated or cluttered external snap
 arrangement. (sometimes purchase w/out insert)

PUL to prevent leaking, and soft suede cloth
 on the inside to keep your baby dry and happy.

Happy to say that this diaper fit even at 7lbs
with its simple style and easy to adjust elastics it fits a 25lb toddler
as well
 For the price it does the job nice :)

Sustainablebabyish snapless multi $20.95
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
heavy organic bamboo|cotton terry body 
with turned and topstitched leg elastic. 
includes two 3-layer organic bamboo fleece 
doublers for adjustable absorbency & one 
diaper pin. add more doublers for additional layers.
this diaper will fit 10 -35 lbs

 proud to say this is a 'go-to' diaper for overnights
 and a 'go-to' for daytime on a bitti
baby coverless :) I would recommend this diaper
to anyone who is trying to save sheets LOL
(i added snaps to this multi)

♥ ♥ ♥
One-Size-Fits-Most, these nappies 
are designed to fit most little ones 
from birth through to toddlerhood 
(approx 8-35 lbs). Made from 10% 
polyester, 30% certified organic 
cotton and 60% bamboo fleece, 
these nappies offer flexibility in fit 
and absorbency, enabling you to 
adjust the nappies to suit your 
baby's own needs. This diaper has
a fold over type rise, with 2 bamboo 
snap in inserts.
 I find this diaper to be absorbent, but with a harder feel
to them. they fit nicely on an infant 8+lbs but are a no-go
on toddlers, as they seem to have a short rise.
After this size, i find myself waiting for 
all diaper laundry to be dirty before picking it up again :/


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
a wonderful one sized trim fitted 8-35lbs made from 
bamboo & lycra, giving them generous stretch
Includes (2) 4-layer soakers that can be 
used apart or together depending on the 
size setting and absorbency needed. All
diapers are sewn by one woman in 
Bozeman, Montana, USA!


Kiwi pie's are my FAVORITE fitted
the stretch is unbelievable  !

a little big on an infant....
 so i close the diaper like this for a tighter seal
& fold over the top :)

 Inside of a kiwi pie complete with 2 snap in
bamboo inserts 


 there is only one snap down setting, provided
by 2 snaps on the outer sides of diaper
EXTREMELY squishy ! 
Also come in great prints!
I own 15 kiwi pies, now that should speak for its self
they are great  diaper all around and i often go coverless
esp when adding a smaller doubler to the 2 snap ins .



♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

for extra stuffing options. this diaper comes in 
2 sizes, with 3 rise settings. Size 1 & size 2.
Thirsties Fitted Diaper has an interior stay-dry
 liner that rests against baby's most sensitive
 parts. This liner is made from 100% polyester

 This is size one. 6-15lbs
although i think the diaper functions great the velcro
tabs get shabby fast (12 wks)  :/
 I also own this diaper in a size 2 with 
snaps, and it fits both baby and toddler wonderfully 

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
this diaper is a one size water proof minky
diaper fitting from 8-44lbs. Although the color 
coded snaps look intimidating, they are highly
absorbent. Snap in inserts are bamboo topped
with a stay dry layer. wing droopage? not a problem
they have hip snaps as well !
 undone
 snapped down all the way, cross over option available too

 the 'outline' in the diaper is the signature 'poo fence'
helps keep blow outs in. top squares on left & right wings
are covered hip snaps :)
 wonderful fit for a tot & she loves the minky feel
 the fit on a 10 wk old.
2wks and no leaks ! the narrow crotch allows a great
non bulky fit even on the tiniest of babies

This diaper is GREAT it fits wonderfully on a 9lb

No stuffing, no doublers

for newborn babies up to 15lbs, this is a water proof 2 rise 
setting pocket diaper with an inner layer of organic

Bum genius xs newborn diaper $12.95
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
this newborn diaper goes from 6 -12lbs 
and is a PUL diaper, with a suede cloth inner
complete with velcro fixtures & stretchy tabs.


 the inner was fine for absorbency the first 3wks
but like all AIO's they are harder to strip :/
At 9 1/2 lbs it started to get tight & by 10lbs 
the absorbency just was not cutting it :/
but the overall fit was great, this was a 'go-to'
diaper for the short time it fit.

DryBee's AIO pocket diaper $17.95
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
DryBees All In One  Sized Diapers that have their own
 three layer microfiber insert enclosed within
 the body of the diaper and leg casings for 
a sure fit. They also provide a pocket in the back
for option of adding extra absorbency.

This is a very simple diaper that provides much comfort
and good absorbency, never a red bark on legs either :)
this is a med. on a 26 lb tot, shes 'out grown'
this diaper in weight, but it still fits and with added 
absorbency its still a night time option.




AppleCheeks (size 1) $27.95
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
this is a two size cloth diapering system
AppleCheeks Little Bundles can be used 
as a diaper cover over the Bamboo Insert,
 or the Bamboo Insert can be inserted 
inside the wide pocket with stay dry fleece 
touching baby's skin. Since the envelope 
cover features a unique design, there is 
no need to unstuff. The absorbent insert 
agitates out in the wash!
 This diapers is extremely absorbent & will work well for naps & overnight
 The bamboo inserts can be layed on top or stuffed inside,
i personally use it on top as it absorbs liquid faster (due to natural fiber)
 Inside 
 The diaper overall does the job :) here you see Luna wearing
a size 1 (7-18 lbs) she is 13 lbs and i find the legs to be somewhat 
too snug. The diaper is kind of shapeless giving you the 'marshmallow' 
look
But the cute print makes up fir that :)

Smart Bottoms AIO  2.0 $16.00
♥ ♥ ♥
This is an AIO diaper is lined with 100% organic cotton
with an inner core that is highly absorbent, washes away
clean as it is not made with microfiber. This diaper comes in
4 sizes (XS,S,M&L). This is a snap closure diaper, with the addition
of hip snaps.
 This diaper is as simple as it gets.
it functions well, although im not a fan of there snap placement
as i feel they are oddly high :/
 This diaper is good, but not good enough for the 'power-o-Luna'
as chunky as her thighs are we still have leaks.
As seen here the legs are gentle gathered elastic, so no chance of red marks
similar to the BottomBumbers diaper, giving it opportunity
to wick and get clothing wet :/




♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
One size fitted diaper going from 10-30lbs. The outer layer
 is made with 100% cotton. It has 2 inner layers of
 bamboo french terry, and another 6 layers for your
 soaker pad, giving you a total of 9 layers of absorbency.


 Put aside that this diaper is too cute for word, and lets talk about how awesome they are!
on my Luna, who is 4 mo & 13.5lbs, this diaper was able to survive a 10 pm -10 am shift
with an allnight nursing baby with NO cover!!!
 Stylish and soft, this one size gives a very clean look
for a snap down fitted!
 This is my 27lb 2 yr old !!
Perfect fit!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
this is a sized cover (size 1- 6to18lbs & size 2-15 to 35lbs)
with strong velcro and a stylish look this cover, it has built in 
laundry tabs and a double gusset leg. It can be used as a cover
or you can stuff it with prefolds.

 This is fully unsnapped, the double leg gussets are 
similar to Rumparooz diapers and covers, they are snug and 
can leave marks , even on the smallest of legs :/
Completely snapped down. Luna is 13.5lbs and should be on the second setting

 This is too tight of a fit for her & if left like this for even 5mn 
it is uncomfortable and will leave red marks :/
If left completely undone, its the perfect fit! :)
(unsure of how this cover will last till 16 lbs it is
still a great diaper cover, is wonderful, made from sturdy material
and great velcro.

 This is the cover on a 2 mo old baby
& the fit on a 2 yr old 
This cover works well, but has the downfall of being bulky
on a newborn, as well as having too snug of an elastic on 
there double gusset leg :/


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
This is a onesize cover with a 3 snap rise setting
fitting from 10 -40 lbs with a laminated inner, for easy
wipe off. As well as gentle inner leg gussets to contain

I hope you noted that there was no price on this diaper. That is because they are no longer being made :"( and i also was lucky enough to purchase this diaper, second hand from a loving momma online. This diaper is amazing, has all the bells and whistles of a 5 star diaper. My Luna can wear this diaper for 3 hrs naps easily. Stylish and highly functionable is worth looking them up to see if others are selling them second hand as well :)

  5. THANK YOU!! My daughters skin is SOO sensitive and using disposables just makes her lil tush raw :( Ive been doing a lot of looking but its so hard to find what will be the best for me online ubt your comparison, explanations, AND pictures are just what I needed! :) I want something thats not at all bulky and still really absorbent and the lease leg leakage... What do you think would be a good choice for me? Kiwi Pie Fitted,* GroVia Hybrid One Size Shell, Itti Bitti Tutto, *Rumparooz eco posh, BumGenuis, SmartiPants...those are the ones that seem to be more along the lines of what im looking for... my email melia8@yahoo.com :) thank you again this page is WONDERFUL!

    ReplyDelete
  6. THANK YOU im glad you find my page helpful. Lets start with age first, how old (more like what weight & chunky or slim?) an is she a side or belly sleeper? are you planing on cloth diapering nights only or full time, and lastly, budget. What are you willing to spend. i really like the Gro Via shell its self, i dont currently have any of their soakers, but im able to fill the shell with prefolds and other diaper soakers like Apple Cheeks :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. she's a belly sleeper, shes 2 1/2 months old, weighs about 11lbs but looks tiny because she has very lean muscle so shes slim, and I need to start fill time cloth because of her sensitivity issues. If need be I can get any amount of money to get what she needs but of course if a cheaper brand works just as good as the expensive then saving the extra money for other stuff would be cool. :) do the Gro Via shells take inserts? I did some looking around and it sounds like hemp and bamboo inserts and stuff are the most absorbent with the least bulk as well as the shells(or what ever they're called) with double guessts hold in "explosions" the best...any input on that? my email is melia8@yahoo.com and if you have a fb please add me :) thanks for your help :)
