All About Cloth Diapers

Last month I introduced myself to the world of hybrid fitteds in a post called What Is A Hybrid Fitted Cloth Diaper? After writing that post I had a strong desire to try out several different brands and see how they differed in fit, absorbency and quality. Over the next several weeks I will bring [...]

I love that the cloth diaper industry is full of parents with an overwhelming desire to help others learn about cloth diapers. If I need help, which believe it or not happens quite often, I know I can turn to one of a dozen sites with valuable information. Having a wide variety of perspectives has [...]

How’s that for a cheese-ball title?! The creative juices have yet to return to this overtired, slightly overwhelmed woman. Alas, I push on. Years ago, I bought a sampling of several diaper covers in a lot off Diaperswappers.  One of the covers was a Real Nappies cover.  I loved it but it got too small [...]

I’m not a prefold user nor have I ever been. There are several reasons why including: most of my children don’t like feeling wet, they aren’t as absorbent as I like a diaper to be and they require more work to put on. All of these reasons, of course, are easily remedied and are merely [...]

I have been using cloth diapers since October of 2005.  In the last 6 1/2 years I have been privileged to use more brands than I can count. You’ve rejoiced with me when I discovered the greatness of bum Genius Elementals (then called Organics), Grasshopper Diapers, Rumparooz, Ragababe and sustainablebabyish (and a few others) and [...]

I can’t tell you how excited I am to write about a business that is run by ONE woman IN HER HOME. It’s a breath of fresh air. You may not be aware but the cloth diaper industry is being flooded with one made in China clone after another.  It’s becoming nauseating and saddening. When [...]

Over the last 2-3 weeks I have been using the Thirsties Duo AIO a lot.  My goal was to put it through thorough testing before giving you a detailed review. I have been using it on Camden who is 13 months old, 24lbs and 33″.  His thighs are meaty (but not really big), he’s got [...]

I am a huge fan of the Bum Genius brand. Jenn Labit has a fabulous story, she makes excellent cloth diapers and her family and company (Cottonbabies) are devoted to giving back to the community. I can remember exactly when I learned of the upcoming release of the Bum Genius Freetime…*all* my friends (okay so [...]

I love charts and numbers and facts and all things statistical.  So, naturally I love reading and filling out surveys at Padded Tush Stats! Have you filled one out? Padded Tush Stats creates surveys for various cloth diapers that actual users fill out.  This allows you to see if that diaper you have your eye [...]

Ecobubs Wool-Blend Diapers from New Zealand are now available here in the US! Camden has one on right now (Monday evening) double stuffed.  I will sleep soundly tonight with no worries about leaks. Ecobubs inserts are 4 layers of microfiber x 2 = 8 thirsty layers. I LOVE stripes.  Stripes make me giddy. Not only [...]
