A new dad discovers Produits de MaYa Liniment: A guest post by Sean, Maman Loup’s younger brother As Maman Loup’s brother, I was always destined to carry the cloth diapering torch after her children were no longer in diapers. This is absolutely true, and I had been grooming him as my successor long before he…
All aboard! Time to find out why we love Mother-ease cloth training pants! The twins bought one-way tickets for the Potty Training Train and Mommy the Conductor isn’t issuing refunds. With preschool starting in September, I took away diapers in June and we haven’t looked back. Full disclosure: they have not mastered getting 100% of…
Wondering how to use prefolds? I’ve got lots of experience to share! My cloth diapering journey has come full circle. When my son was born in 2012, his first cloth diapers were prefolds and covers. Now that my twins are about to potty train, I’ve returned to this system and fallen back in love…
Updated August 2023 Lil Helper Cloth Diaper Review My first experience with Lil Helper cloth diapers was way back in 2013. I was enticed by their free (or not very expensive?) first diaper trial offer I saw advertised on Facebook. It was purple. It was one of a bazillion diapers I amassed as I fell…
As a kid, I remember being excessively jealous of American kids. Thanks to the domination of American media in the lives of Canadians, it seemed like American kids got all the cool stuff. All the fun contests were only open to US residents. Shipping from the Delia’s catalogue was so expensive. So many delicious looking…
Cloth diapering can be complicated, overwhelming and require some serious cheese to get started. It’s enough to discourage many soon-to-be parents or already-parents from even testing the waters. I’ve been blogging about and using cloth diapers for seven years, and I am very proud to say that many parents have reached out to tell me…
Having cloth diapered four babies, you’d think by now I’d have a hands down, 100% guaranteed overnight cloth-diapering solution to offer you. Unfortunately, the one thing I CAN guarantee you is that the overnight solution that works for one baby is not guaranteed to work for another, which I suppose is no different than daytime…
This post is not sponsored. Did you know that there’s a cloth diaper on the market that’s manufactured in the USA by a reputable company that meets all of my stringent requirements to be a mainstay in my diaper stash that retails for less than CAN$15? If you didn’t know, it’s because bumGenius’s budget-friendly cousin,…
Want to know what I use to cloth diaper the twins? I know you’ve been waiting for this blog post with even more anticipation than the ninth season of Game of Thrones, and I’ve been writing it and rewriting it in my head for months, waiting to finally have time to type it up. I…
When you start learning about cloth diapers, you quickly find out that there are three basic styles of cloth diapers, and every cloth diapering parenting has a personal preference: All-in-two (AI2) diapers have a waterproof cover that can be reused and inserts that are replaced at each change. Pocket diapers have a waterproof exterior with…
I first tried HumBird cloth diapers and wool when Little Miss was peeing through most of our overnight cloth solutions. Guess what? She didn’t pee through her HumBird! I was eager to get some smaller wool covers for her little brothers, and I was equally eager to get to know a bit more about the…
Mulder, it’s me. And it’s my LPO pocket diapers review. That’s right, just call me the Agent Dana Scully of the cloth diaper world. No, I don’t chase down disposable conspiracies wearing high heels and a pantsuit. No, I’ve never been abducted by little brown men. But I AM a skeptic. I’m a cloth diaper…
After six years with my finger on the pulse of the cloth diaper industry, it takes a lot to impress me. I know what I like, I know what works, and I’ve tried pretty much all the brands that are available to Canadian shoppers. Mother ease has been on the periphery of my cloth diaper…
Nuggles Tuck-Wrap-Go covers and prefold inserts epitomize my ideal “all-in-two” (AI2) cloth diaper system. In case you’re new here, an AI2 system is a two-part system that combines a reusable, waterproof diaper cover with some form of absorbent insert. When wet, you simply swap out the wet insert and reuse the cover, either immediately or…
