GoGreen Champ Cloth Diapers & Adapt-a-Snaps Giveaway (CLOSED 10/25)

Oct 18,2011 / By Maria / 13 Comments

GoGreen Diapers sells affordable pocket cloth diapers and cloth diaper accessories

I first posted my GoGreen Champ Diaper Review in January followed by a GoGreen standard diaper review and a comparison of the GoGreen standard diaper to the Champ diaper the following month. Check out those posts if you want all the details on each type of diaper, along with measurements and lots of photos!

The GoGreen Champ diaper has snap closures, 4 rise settings, a front and rear pocket opening (the inserts agitate out!) and double gussets. They have both hip and crossover snaps, to fit small babies with no wing droop. The Champs are estimated to fit 7-40 pounds, come with a 3-layer microfiber insert, and retail for $15.95 each.

I also was one of the first to try the adapt-a snap, which allows you to turn a snap diaper into a Velcro diaper! View my GoGreen adapt-a-snap review for detailed photos, plus demos of the adapt-a-snap on several diapers!

The adapt-a-snaps are available in 3-packs for $16.99 (white) or $17.49 (black.)

~~Giveaway: GoGreen is offering one of my readers two Champ pocket diapers and two adapt-a-snaps in his/her choice of color. (ARV $43.56) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.~~

Babykicks 3G Pocket Cloth Diaper Giveaway (CLOSED 10/18)

Oct 11,2011 / By Maria / 20 Comments

I reviewed my Babykicks Bumboo pocket diaper about 16 months ago, then compared the Bumboo pocket to the new 3G pocket about 7 months ago. I love the Babykicks Joey Bunz one size inserts, especially with the improved tapered end and sizing guidelines. Please view my full Babykicks 3G Pocket Diaper review for all the details and photos!

I also made a video demonstrating how to use the newborn snap. This is one of only a handful of one-size diapers that I think would really work on a newborn!

The 3G pocket is available in 4 great colors, plus the white with multicolored snaps. It’s a trim one-size pocket with a front pocket opening and side snaps, and the snap down rise allows it to fit babies from 7-40 pounds. The waterproof PUL outer has fleece gussets that allow air flow, but not leaks. The lining of the diaper is 30% Certified Organic Cotton and 70% Rayon made from Bamboo, a great choice if you prefer natural materials over microfleece or suedecloth.

The Babykicks 3G pocket diaper retails for $20.50 and is available at lots of online and “brick and mortar” retailers! Be sure to follow Babykicks on Twitter and “like” Babykicks on Facebook.

Giveaway: Babykicks is offering one of my readers a 3G pocket diaper in his/her choice of color (ARV $20.50.) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.

3 Bumgenius 4.0 Cloth Diapers Giveaway (CLOSED 10/17) US/Canada

Oct 3,2011 / By Maria / 16 Comments

The Virtual Baby Shower Event is here! If you’ve been paying attention, you already know that October 2011 also marks two years of cloth diapering for me! Yep. In October 2009, my stash started with just three Bumgenius 3.0 cloth diapers (shortly followed by three more.) I washed those suckers twice a day, then every day for a long time! Three of those were replaced under the awesome Cottonbabies warranty, two are in need of Velcro replacement and one is still going strong!

I’ve had a great experience with their products and their customer service, and I have a lot of respect for Cottonbabies owner Jennifer Labit. Not just as a business owner, but as a human being.

I thought it was only fitting to kick off the Virtual Baby Shower event with a giveaway for three Bumgenius 4.0 cloth diapers (4.0s are even better than the 3.0s I started with) in your choice of solid color and closure. I will purchase the diapers from my choice of reputable online retailer, including any of my affiliates, or another of my choice.

Giveaway: Three Bumgenius 4.0 cloth diapers in winner’s choice of solid color and closure (ARV $53.85.) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.

3 bumGenius Freetime Diapers – Giveaway from Diaper Junction (CLOSED 10/6) U.S./Canada

Sep 27,2011 / By Maria / 12 Comments

I think we have all heard the exciting news about the new bumGenius prints (Albert and Lovelace), colors (Dazzle, Mirror and Sassy) and products, including the bumGenius! Freetime diapers and Flip Potty Trainers!

They are not shipping until December, but Diaper Junction (one of my favorite places to buy cloth diapers!) is giving one of my readers the chance to win not one but three of the bumGenius Freetime One Size AIO cloth diapers!

Like everyone else, I haven’t gotten to see or try these diapers, and while AIOs aren’t my favorite type of diaper, I’m still really excited to try them. I think the soaker style (sewn in at the ends only) will be much easier to thoroughly clean than the sewn in style of the now discontinued sized AIOs. The style will also allow you to fold the soakers to put maximum absorbency just where you need it, and they are topped with stay-dry material. The shell is lined with an extra layer of microfiber terry and a stay dry material touching baby as well!

On the flip side, they won’t be quite as cloth diaper novice friendly as a pre-stuffed pocket diaper, and the soaker style may make them a little more messy to clean (if poopy) like the Organic O/S AIO (Elemental) diapers. Obviously, that’s all just speculation, since I haven’t actually tried them!

They will be the snap-down rise one size style we expect from bumGenius, and will be available in both Velcro and snap closures.

The Freetime diapers will retail for $19.95 each ($2.00 extra for prints) and Diaper Junction will offer quantity discounts when you purchase 3-5, 6-11 or 12+ at a time! Get on the waiting list now, and then enter to win some!

Giveaway: Diaper Junction is offering one of my readers 3 solid color bumGenius Freetime diapers. Diapers will ship in December and while I will pass along your color/closure preferences and DJ will do their best to fulfill your favorites, winner chooses just boy, girl or gender neutral.

Happy Heinys XS vs. Mini One Size Pocket Newborn Diapers – Comparison

Aug 30,2011 / By Maria / No Comment

Last month, I posted a Happy Heinys XS/newborn pocket diaper review and a Happy Heinys mini one size diaper review. Now I’m going to compare the two!

The mini one size actually gets a bit smaller than the XS, rise-wise. Above is the XS (brown w/blue hibiscus print) vs the mini one size (pink) on the medium setting.

You can see that the XS isn’t much smaller (rise-wise) than the Happy Heinys One Size, while the mini one size is a bit smaller. However, the XS is definitely narrower through the crotch.

Here’s the smallest setting of the mini one size (pink) folded and stretched, vs the XS pocket (brown w/blue hibiscus.)

Both have the same velcro closures, but the front panel of the XS (on top in the right photo) is a bit smaller/narrower than the mini one size.

The XS doesn’t have encased leg elastic, which is supposed to be more gentle.

They both have the same inner as well. I think the XS is a good bit narrower through the middle than the mini one size, so I’d expect it to be less bulky on tiny babies. Unfortunately, I didn’t buy the insert for either one, so I don’t know how they compare!

Once on my “model” you can’t tell too much of a difference. Again, I think the rise on the mini one size (pink) is a bit lower than the XS, but the XS is a little narrower.

The mini one size diaper retails for $17.95 (with two inserts), and will take you from the newborn stage, until the one-size diapers fit (the largest size of the mini is very similar to the smallest size of the o/s…see the mini one size review for photos.) Happy Heinys’ Weight range on these is 4-15 pounds.

The XS pocket diaper retails for $18.95 (with one insert), and thus far, I haven’t been able to find an estimated weight range for them. They do have the benefit of being a little bit narrower, and the un-encased leg elastic is supposed to be gentler (I prefer encased.)

For $1 less, the mini-one size gets you an additional insert, and more sizing flexibility, so it seems like a “no-brainer” to me.

What do you think?
