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…
Jocelyn is a cloth diaper craftswoman. To carefully inspect one of her diapers is to realize how intricate and thoughtful her designs are. This is a mama who has used many brands and has spent hours upon hours experimenting behind her sewing machine to create a better diaper: something unique that you can’t find anywhere…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
When I first started cloth diapering, I only wanted velcro diapers. Snaps seemed way too complicated, and I wanted everything about having a newborn to be as easy as possible. I have now come to appreciate snap-closure diapers for a variety of reasons, but I don’t hate velcro by any means! Firstly, it’s important to…
This post contains affiliate links. I’ve always been a pocket-diaper girl. My main reason for loving pockets? Easy to customize the absorbency! But with even less time on my hands these days, I’ve noticed I’m reaching more and more for the one-piece diapers in our stash, and there are three that I consider to be outstanding…
I received a product sample and compensation for this review. All opinions remain my own. I am running out of creative ways to express my fondness for Bummis. Bummis is based in my former hometown of Montreal, Quebec. I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with founder, Betsy, and new co-owner, Amélie (of Mini Kiwi fame),…
I received this product at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. The GroVia All-in-One (AIO) was my first experience with an AIO diaper, three years ago when Cub was wee. (Who knew that three years later, he’d still be in diapers…?) At the start of my cloth diapering journey, I only…
I received these products at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. Our Thirsties covers were my favourite newborn cover on Little Miss Cub, so I was very excited to try their one-size diaper offerings. Thirsties is a hugely popular brand, and stand out for me as one of the big…
