Rumpsack Pocket Diaper Review & Giveaway (CLOSED 10/13)
>
I’ve asked readers to make suggestions for diapers they’d like to see me review/give away, and Rumpsack has been mentioned several times! WAHMs don’t have deep pockets for advertising or reviews/giveaways, so it meant a lot to me when Rumpsack agreed to participate in my “Year of Fluff” event!
I received a size medium pocket diaper, with a minky outer and microchamois inner.
Rumpsack diapers are front snap diapers, but the diaper closes closer to the hip to prevent wing droop. Janelle is a La-Di-Da approved seamstress, and Rumpsacks are designed to scoop below the belly. Size Newborn fits 6-12 pounds, Small 10-20 pounds, Medium 15-30 pounds, and Large 25-40 pounds. Prices vary between $14.50 and $17.00 depending on the materials used.
The pocket is easy to stuff. Inserts are not included with Rumpsacks, but Janelle makes a great insert that’s available as an optional purchase.
The insert is 2 layers of organic hemp fleece, which makes 6 layers of absorbency when tri-folded. The inserts are available in 4 sizes to match the diaper sizes, and retail for $5.00 each. Janelle included one with my diaper, and I’m grateful! I much prefer to use a diaper with an insert that has been designed for and tested with the diaper, and this was far easier to fold than a microfiber towel!
A nifty feature of the Rumpsack is that the snaps on the front panel are female on one side and male on the other.
This means the tabs actually snap to each other. If you find yourself with a dirty diaper and no wetbag, simply roll the diaper up into a neat little package, and snap the tabs together!
The Rumpsack medium seemed a smidge smaller than some of the other mediums I have, but I think it may be partly because of the below the belly design.

The diaper fit my son really well, and he has plenty of room to grow into it (he’s about 18.5 lbs in these photos.) We had no leaks, and the insert made the diaper nice and trim, as well as super absorbent (I love hemp!) Thank you Janelle for allowing me to review a Rumpsack, I love this diaper!

>I have about 10 Rumpsack diaper, each are very well done! Customer service is more then great shipping is super fast and she is sooo sweet!
>Sarah, this is laminated with PUL, so very waterproof & no wicking.For fleece, I think it really depends on the quality of the fleece. The Dypes by Dixon sweet slumber I have is Walden Mills Pro fleece. Also fabric softener helps it repel. Try rubbing the fleece (not the inner though!) with a dryer sheet & see if it helps.
>Cute! How does minky hold up for being waterproof? When I tried fleece it wasn't very waterproof – or does this have a hidden PUL layer?
>I love Rumpsack diapers! Janelle makes such a quality product and she has fantastic customer service!
>The diapers are too cute and well made!
>I think they are very well made! Janelle has been making diapers for a year, but you would think she had been doing it much longer!
>we have one rumpsack and love it hope to get more.
>These diapers are so cute! They look really well made too!
>More like Rumparooz, it's soft and fuzzy!
>Is Microchamois more like the liners of Rumparooz or more like bumGenius?
