Abby’s Lane is one of my favorite cloth diaper retailers, so it makes me warm & fuzzy that they are one of my “A Year of Fluff” sponsors!
So, why are they one of my favorites? They have a wide selection of cloth diapers, accessories, and even baby carriers and pediped baby shoes. They offer free shipping always, on every U.S. order. Before I found Abby’s Lane, I would try to keep a list of what I wanted to order, and wait until I had $50 or whatever I needed to get free shipping. Then half the time, something I wanted was out of stock, so I was having to wait to order (only to have another item out of stock) or be faced with paying shipping, or ordering something I didn’t really want, to get up to the free shipping minimum.
Speaking of stock, I’ve never run into an item I wanted being out of stock at Abby’s Lane. I’m sure it happens, but it’s never happened to me. They update their Facebook page when they restock items (which is pretty quickly in my opnion!) and they look to their customers for what they should add to their wide selection.
Abby’s lane also offers “Abby’s Lane Dollars” which rewards you for money you spend. They have a gift registry and an easily accessible page of sale items. If you sign up for their newsletter or the Abby’s Lane Yahoo Group, you get a 5% discount on every order (excluding Ergo.) Be sure to also check out the Abby’s Lane Blog for news, tips, reviews and some blog chat parties. I won my Kissaluvs Fitted from their blog chat!
Abby’s Lane is also somewhat “local” to me, since they are in Virginia and I’m in Maryland. I am anxiously awaiting a Brick & Mortar store so I can finally see all that fluff in person, and hopefully meet the great Mama behind the company!

Designs by Cace is another WAHM brand, making sized fitteds, all-in-ones (AIOs) and covers, as well as nursing covers and slings.
I received a size medium AIO, which is estimated to fit 10-22 pounds. Small fits about 5-10 pounds, and large about 20-35 pounds.
The diaper has a soft minky inner, a 3 layer sewn in soaker (very trim, but probably best just for daytime) and velcro closures with laundry tabs. I really like the black velcro closures, it’s a nice contrast and it’s different than other diapers. I did notice a few areas where the stitching could have been a little tighter/neater, but it didn’t affect the function of the diaper at all.
The diaper is a smidge smaller than some other mediums I have; here it is compared to a one-size diaper on the medium setting:
Here it is measured folded and stretched:
It fit my 18.5 pound guy just fine with plenty of room to grow.
We didn’t have any leak or fit issues, and though it looks like it was digging into his belly, it’s just the way he was sitting.
A solid color medium AIO like I received, is just $10! Wow! Medium prints are $10-12. A large AIO is $12, with prints ranging from $12-$15. Smalls are a little less at $9 each. Fleece covers are just $5-8! These are very Daddy friendly and affordable enough to buy several and support a WAHM.
