Yep. You heard me right. I said “Cloth Diapers”. 
If you would have asked me a week ago if I would ever consider cloth diapers, my answer would have been an adamant “No way. That’s disgusting.” 
I must give kudos to Shannon, owner and CEO of Booty Buns Cloth Diapers, for completely and drastically changing my opinion forever.  I myself, didn’t think it could be done.
 
In fact, when she asked me to review a product and host a giveaway, my first thoughts were, “How am I going to endorse a product I don’t think I would ever consider.”  Then I thought, “Can’t hurt to try.” 
(Continue Reading to the end for the giveaway)
As it turns out, I’m completely convinced it is the best way to diaper your baby.  I say that with all honesty.  Baby even thinks they are pretty cool.  
The above picture shows what is included when you buy your diaper from Booty Buns. 
1.  Cloth Diaper made from water proof fabric.
2.  Highly absorbent insert.
3.  Highly absorbent infant (or night time) additional insert.
4.  Thin flannel liner to make dumping the baby goods into the toilet, much easier and less nasty.
The pink I chose was so pretty, and the whites were so fluffy and soft.
She recommended I purchase an .85 cent sample of Rockin’ Green Detergent, which I did.  It is made specifically for Cloth Diapers in mind.
For the first trial run, I hesitantly put the diaper on my baby during the morning.  I say hesitantly because she is an “on the clock” pooper in the mornings.  I rely on that stinky diaper like I rely on the sun rising every morning.
Sure enough, at 10:00, there was a surprise for me.  But more surprising was how easy clean up was.  You will notice in the picture above how well the diaper hugs her thighs.  No blow outs here.  Washing the diaper was a breeze as well.  It came out with no stain or residue, and smelling delicious.  Yes, I actually smelled it.  That detergent does exactly what is says it does.
Here is what my diaper looked like after 2 poopies, and one overnight trial run. 
As white and pretty as when I received it.  If you buy from Booty Buns you also get a cloth wipe. 
And I will have you know, my baby pees out almost every night in disposables.  Even in a size bigger.  I didn’t have a single problem with this cloth diaper. 
That picture above is somewhat ironic.  I received my Amazon shipment of disposable diapers the same day I received my cloth diaper.  I have about 6 months of disposables stored up in my basement and as soon as those run out, I can guarantee you my money is going to cloth diapers.  Let me tell you why and how I weighed out this decision.

Pro’s to Cloth Diapers:

 – Cost obviously.  Though the start up is pricey, when you do your numbers compared to disposables, it’s quite a given.
-Softer for baby.
-She experienced no diaper rash compared to disposables when she gets red almost every time she goes #2.
-Much cuter.
-Less leak outs.
-Re-usable, therefor better for the environment.  Though I will shamelessly admit this pro alone would never convince me to switch.  It’s all about the cost for me.
– A strange satisfaction.  I found myself so pleased to be using it.  The mere thoughts that I could take a step back in this age of ultimate convenience, and do something out of the norm that might require a slightly bit more effort to better my life and save money- was very satisfying.  It’s the same feeling I get when I make homemade baby food.
-The impeccable design and convenience of the modern day cloth diaper.
-I can use for all children yet to come into our home – making big time savings!

Cons:

-I little more laundry. 
-I have to look at the poopy a little longer.  But at least I don’t have to touch it.
-Start up cost.
-Husband is slightly less than thrilled.  A little bribery won’t hurt.
-Cost of special detergent (though not even close to the cost of disposables).

That’s all I could think of at the moment.

Now that I have convinced you to switch also, let me tell you why you should buy from Booty Buns Cloth Diapers.
-For every diaper bought, a diaper is donated to other countries and places who use things such as T-shirts to wrap around their babies booties.  Unbelievable!  What a worthy cause!  You can feel so good about your purchase.
-One size fits all design.  You only need to buy one size for your baby.  It works from infancy to potty training.
-Great color selection.
-Ingenious design and function made for a great fit and easy clean up.
-The only diaper in my research that includes 2 inserts, flannel liner, and a cloth wipe.  (my thoughts on cloth wipes: you are washing the diaper, you might as well throw in the wipe.  No extra effort whatsoever.)
-Full of helpful hints and suggestions on their website to make cloth diapering that much easier.
-Super fast delivery.

  1. I started with disposables but now use cloth. It is addictive :)<br /><br />swedenesefamily at gmail dot com

  2. Also, I exclusively cloth diaper. I have been wanting to get my hands on one of these diapers for a while now. I made the switch with my daughter when she was almost 3 months and I&#39;ve never looked back. It&#39;s actually FUN! Thanks so much for the giveaway.

  3. I love cloth diapering! We save so much money and I don&#39;t feel guilty about all those thousands of non-biodegradeable diapers in the landfill.<br />I liked them on FB as Olivia Lambert Lasting.<br />olivialasting at gmail dot com

  4. I like on fb as claude campeau<br /><br />I just wanted to say, you take gorgeous pictures! Would you mind telling me which lens you use?<br /><br />claudecampeau at videotron dot ca

  5. My babies are having their own babies. All three of mine were in cloth diapers and my son/daughter-in-law have their youngest in cloth diapers. I still think that they are the best way to go.

  6. Would love to try these out! I&#39;ve always wanted to try them but don&#39;t want to invest money in case I don&#39;t like….

  7. I use cloth diapers…bum genius one size. It was much easier and less gross than I thought it was going to be at first. I actually got most of mine used on craigslist for cheaper than buying all new. I also just started with a few to make sure I liked them before investing in a whole set. We used them about 75% of the time with our first, about 50% of the time when we had 2 in diapers, and

  8. I am on baby #3, and this is my first time using cloth. I wish I&#39;d made the switch earlier!! I love them. They are SO cute, eco-friendly, and the variety makes them as easy or as difficult as any person wants them to be.<br />I was worried about extra laundry (since I HATE laundry), but that seems to be negligible, and we have switched our detergent for the whole family to a cloth diaper

  9. Liked them on Facebook. We already exclusively use cloth diapers but I&#39;ve never tried Booty Buns cloth diapers. Would love to try them.

  10. Stupid question… Am I leaving a comment for each thing I did or can I leave one comment to say that I &quot;liked&quot; the facebook page and asked to be added to the group, I am now following the blog and added the button to both my regular blog and my sewing blog. šŸ™‚ <br />Guess you could say I wanna try them diapers!

  11. I liked the facebook page. Like you I have been curious but skeptical and I would be interested in trying it out because I know many people cloth diapering and say they love it.

  12. Oh ya…I was supposed to do separate posts LOL<br />Ok, last one was for liked, this one is for becoming a member on the FB page.

  13. Liked…became a member…followed…and joined twitter just to enter! Now to pray, cause I need these in my stash!!! (currently 35 unusable diapers due to hook &amp; loop giving out)

  14. i totally consider cloth and love it. It is easy once you get the hang of it!<br /><br />dmoretti1967 at yahoo dot com

  15. grandma, here, trying to win one for daughter, Meg&#39;s baby. She uses both cloth, and disposables. I mostly used cloth diapers and old plastic pants on most of my babies. Made flannel cloth &#39;fitted&#39; diapers for child numbers 8 and 9. Love this &#39;new&#39; system with the adjustable covers. thought about making some, but too overwhelming, as child is in Texas, and granny isn&#39;t….

  16. Liked the facebook page! I love our cloth diapers, it has made such a difference- saving money and the environment. Always wanting to try a few different brands!

  17. I use cloth diapers and I actually really like them. Like you my husband doesn&#39;t like them as much but he likes the savings. šŸ™‚

  18. We did cloth diapers with our oldest for a while. The biggest problem there was that she was a MAJOR pee machine and would soak through 3 layers of cloth diapers in about two hours and soak her cloths. <br /><br />Then I&#39;ve been too lazy with my next two…maybe I should go back to it. I know cloth diapers have gotten better than when we were first trying (especially since we bought some

  19. I have considered cloth diapers before, but honestly have been too intimidated by the start-up cost. I&#39;d give it a shot, if I won a giveaway though! šŸ™‚
