When you first start dipping your toes into the wonderful world of cloth diapering, you may feel a bit disoriented. Heck, when you first start researching baby gear things can get really weird, really fast. As soon as baby arrives, bowel movements become a frequent topic of conversation, and age is counted in days or…
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 would just like to state for the record that I completed a course in Terminology during my Translation Diploma, and it was my favourite course. I did my project on knitting terminology, but dagnabbit if I’d been cloth diapering at that time, I would’ve done my project on cloth diaper terminology. I know from…
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…
Cloth swim diapers are a source of intrigue in the parenting community. Do they absorb the pool water? Do they absorb pee? Do I need to buy swim diapers at all? The main purpose of a swim diaper is to contain poop. No one likes floaters in the pool, but all parents know that the…
Yes. Cloth diapers are fun! That’s the secret reason I love them so much. Save money? Yup. Good for the environment? Most def. But for the past four years, there’s been a moment of almost every day where choosing a cloth diaper has brought a touch of fun to the sometimes monotonous reality of stay-at-home…
I obviously get asked questions about cloth diapers frequently. I remember when I first pondered using cloth, I had so many questions and didn’t know whom to ask or where to start. Now nearing four years of experience cloth diapering, I figure I can impart some of what I wish I’d known all along. My…
I received a product sample and compensation for this post as a Bummis Ambassador. I am not a pushy person when it comes to cloth diapers. Some of my mommy friends feel the need to apologize or justify why their diaper bag is full of disposables, knowing I’m such a cloth diaper fan. The truth…
I received this item at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. It’s no big secret that I love my TotsBots. The EasyFit V4 diaper has been a staple in our stash ever since it was released in 2013. I wrote a glowing review back in the day! Cub outgrew the…
I received compensation and a product sample in exchange for this review. All opinions remain my own. I’m going to clear one thing up straight away. As you likely know, I’m Canadian. I want to spell it fibre. But I’ve made an executive decision. I shall spell it the way it’s spelled on the tag, since…
My aunt Kiki had her first child when I was 18. She was 16 when I was born. I was the first baby she looked after, and she was the first Mom I really paid any attention to. In many ways, since I hit my twenties, we’ve had more of a sisterly bond than an…
A frequent topic of discussion in many cloth diapering groups is “Why can’t microfiber touch baby’s skin?” This leads to some confusion, because microfleece, another common diapering fiber, is totally safe against baby’s bottom. Both synthetic and 100% polyester, these two fibers serve totally different purposes in cloth diapers. Microfiber The purpose of microfiber is to absorb.…
I am very comfortable in admitting what I’m good at. I am super patient with my kids. I am really creative with words. I can type super fast. I am so pro at organization and filing systems. I am also comfortable in telling you that I am ridiculously awful at even the smallest of household repairs.…
This is the last trainer review. I promise. And it’s the perfect style of trainer to end the trainer testing: a trainer that doesn’t actually have a waterproof layer! Wait what? No waterproof layer? Nope! Sloomb Trainers are organic cotton underwear with an absorbent bamboo fleece layer where it counts. For nap time or overnight,…
Sponsored post. The primary objection prospective cloth diapering parents raise when faced with the “prefold + cover” method of cloth diapering a newborn is: “It’s too complicated.” Let me assure you that it is not complicated at all, even during those first foggy days when even making your own cup of coffee seems complicated. I…
