iPlay Ultimate Swim Diaper Review & Giveaway – Pure and Simple Baby (CLOSED 5/8) U.S./Canada

Pure & Simple Baby is a Mom-owned eco-baby boutique that sells cloth diapers and other “green,” non-toxic, organic and fair trade products for baby. Their offerings include toys, organic baby & toddler clothing, baby carriers and more. All orders over $49 receive free shipping.

They have quite a few swim diapers including some adorable prints, ruffle butt styles, and swimsuits with built in swim diapers.

I received a white iPlay Classics Ultimate swim diaper, which retails for $10.99.

The swim diaper has a snap opening on one side to make it easy for you to take off, but not easy for baby to take off!

I received the size small, which fits 10-18 lbs/6 months. Though Pure & Simple Baby is still replenishing their stock for summer purchases, iPlay swim diapers come in a huge range of sizes from preemie/4 lbs to 4T/38-46 lbs.

What makes iPlay swim diapers really unique is their sewn-in, absorbent layer and moisture wicking interior. The absorbent layer means you won’t get wet carrying baby on the way to the pool, but it’s not so absorbent that it will get soggy & droopy after being in the water.

The snug fit combined with the absorbent layer makes me confident to use this on my 13ish pound, 4 1/2 month old son, without worrying about breastfed baby poop escaping!

My favorite swim diaper Pure & Simple Baby sells is this imse vimse turquoise dots with frill. Too bad my daughter is too big for swim diapers!

Shop Pure and Simple Baby, follow the Pure & Simple Baby Blog, follow Pure and Simple Baby on Twitter and “like” Pure and Simple Baby on Facebook.

Giveaway: One lucky person will receive a white iPlay classic ultimate swim diaper in their choice of size. Entries go in the Rafflecopter form. Please click “view terms and conditions” at the bottom of the Rafflecopter form.

Lunette Cup Giveaway (CLOSED 5/3)

by Maria on April 19, 2012

in Giveaway,Natural Personal Care Products,Reusable Products

If you clicked this post not knowing what a Lunette cup was, it is a reusable menstrual product, so men (or the extra-squeamish) can back away slowly!

I have not used a Lunette Cup, since I do not have a cycle in early breastfeeding (lucky me!) but I know a lot of you are interested in reusable menstrual products. I do not have a “review,” since I haven’t used it, but I will share some info & give you the chance to win one!

So what is a Lunette Cup? It is a reusable menstrual cup that is made in Finland, with medical grade, latex free silicone. It can be used during the day or overnight, during sports and by women of all ages and sizes. The cup has a lot of advantages including being economical (it will last for years), eco-friendly, safe, discreet and non-drying. Lunette gives great instructions on how to use the cup.

You will need to empty it 2-4 times per day. The cup comes in several colors (just for fun!), and you can use Lunette’s Feelbetter wash or CupWipes to clean your cup.

The Lunette is different than other menstrual cups and has different sizing. The stem is flat, and the inside is smooth, with no areas for bacteria to collect. It is designed to be easy to insert and comfortable to use. There is a wealth of information about the cup and your body on the Lunette website and Lunette blog.

Where to buy: Buy Lunette Cup directly for $39.99, or find a retailer.

Swaddle Designs Angry Birds Baby Products Review & Giveaway (CLOSED 4/10) US/Canada

by Maria on March 29, 2012

in Apparel & Accessories,Baby Products,Giveaway,Review

In case you missed my Swaddle Designs review last year, we love their swaddling blankets. They are soft & cozy & plenty big enough for a snug swaddle. We swaddled my son constantly in the first few weeks, at at night until he was nearly 11 weeks old. We had to buy extras so we’d never be without one!

Swaddle Designs now has adorable Angry Birds Baby Products! They have long & short sleeved bodysuits with a large or small bird, in blue, yellow or red, from 0-3 to 6-12 months. They also have Ultimate Receiving Blankets, Marquisette Blankets, Swaddle Duos, zzZip Me sacks, lovies, burpies and gift sets!

I received the short-sleeved 3″ red bird bodysuit in 3-6 months and the multi-bird marquisette swaddling blanket.

Even my husband commented about how nice the bodysuit is. It’s nice and thick, well made and sturdy, which I can’t say about a lot of baby clothing.

The blanket is cute, soft and lightweight, perfect for swaddling, playtime and covering a stroller in warmer weather!
