Cloth Diapers

January 25, 2012 • Uncategorized

0 shares
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.
Now for the Giveaway!
Here is your chance to find out (risk free) for yourself if you can so easily be converted to cloth diapering.
Here is how to enter.  Each one you do is an additional entry.  Just be sure that for each entry you leave me a comment and tell me what you did.  Shannon also says if you grab a button from her blog and post it on yours, you get 10 additional entries!  Score!

Giveaway is closed on February 15th!  Good Luck!

I would also love to hear in my comments if you would ever consider cloth diapers, or any thoughts you have on such things.

    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.

    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

    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

    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….

    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.
