I didn’t use a lot of swim diapers for my son. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the water, and consequently, he wasn’t much of a water baby. Whether it’s a case of nature versus nurture I’m not sure, but his little sister is the opposite. While I had to force Cub into…
Like a cloud. Like the softest, most luxurious pillow, fit for a princess’s royal bed. As Agnes would say, “It’s so fluffy!” When our Lilly&Frank one-size OBV fitted diaper arrived, the first thing I did was rub it on my face. Then I wondered if I could just use it as my own pillow instead…
When I was pregnant with my first, I knew I wanted to use cloth diapers. I only knew one cloth diapering mama, and she happened to use RagaBabes. She added me to their Facebook group, and I tried to follow what was going on. There were stockings and buying frenzies, different sizes and different prints…
Last summer, I went on a mission to test out as many reusable swim diapers as possible. My favourite one-size model in the bunch was the Omaïki H2Ö. This year, they’ve made one slight design change, so I decided to partner with the ladies at Omaïki to do to a dedicated review of the 2017…
The GroVia O.N.E. was a diaper that GroVia fans had to work for! It was launched on Kickstarter in fall 2014, closing with over $65,000 pledged by over one thousand backers. Even I joined in the fun, pledging $20 and getting a cute T-shirt for Cub. I reviewed the O.N.E. when it first launched and…
This blog post is a bit of a “choose your adventure” type of deal. Depending on how familiar you are with Funky Fluff diapers, you may or may not need my spiel about recent changes to the company and the product line. If you’re a long-time #FunkyFluffian and want me to outline these changes, keep…
December 2020 update: I’ve also included the Dream Diaper with overnight insert in a more recent post. Sweet Dreams are made without leaks! Please tell me you have the Eurythmics stuck in your head or—depending on your generation—Marilyn Manson. That classic 80s track is in heavy rotation on my preschooler’s Spotify playlist thanks to the only…
I began my cloth-diapering journey using Velcro diapers. I was actually a very committed Velcro-user for a long time, and my husband still refuses to use snap diapers if he can avoid it. That being said, I do know that for many parents, Velcro is a deal-breaker. Velcro tabs are magnets for threads, hairs, fur…
Jocelyn, the mama behind Just 4 You Baby Designs, is one talented little diaper maker. She’s also absolutely adorable (as are her children). She’s a cloth-diaper laundry expert, and I love that the packaging for her one-size Hybrid Nightly Essential diaper provides the best laundry recommendations I’ve ever seen on a diaper package! (Similar to…
December 2020 update: I also included the bumGenius Elemental 3.0 in this post about my favourite diaper for twins! Folks, as you know, I’m a stickler for correct spelling and grammar. I even employ my aunt as my editor, and she picks through my posts with a fine-toothed comb to weed out my superfluous commas…
There are many mysterious abbreviations to puzzle the newbie cloth-diapering parent. Once your membership into an online cloth-diapering Facebook group is approved, you will scroll through posts that seem like top-secret code. For months, I thought that “PPD” stood for “PayPal Dollars,” a form of currency I believed to be used exclusively for online purchases.…
If you’re a die-hard Wolf Packer, you’ll know that my least favourite cloth diaper style is the fitted diaper. I pretty much never use them if I can get away with it. I don’t see the point of using them during the day when there are simpler options that don’t spread wetness all over baby.…
Before I get into my review, I feel I would be remiss if I did not mention that Smart Bottoms knocked it out of the proverbial cloth-diaper-print park in 2016. I mean, have you seen Sprinkles, aka the DOUGHNUT diaper?! Makes me hungry every time we use it, and it was the first time in…
I received these products at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. When I first reviewed Easy Peasies diapers in March of last year, the only thing I disliked about both the all-in-one (AIO) and the pocket designs was that they were heavy on the microfibre. I loved that they were made…
I received compensation and product samples to facilitate this review. All opinions remain my own. Cub was a big baby. By the time we tried our first AppleCheeks, he was plenty big enough to wear their Size 2 envelope cover, and he wasn’t even a year old! When he finally stopped wearing diapers earlier this…
