Change-Diapers.com is on YouTube

Aug 13,2011 / By Maria / 6 Comments

Did you know there is a Change-Diapers.com YouTube channel?

I don’t have a whole lot there yet, but I’d like to add more. Here are some highlights, I hope you will check them out and/or share them. I try to keep my videos brief and to the point as much as possible, to make them easy to watch. If you have ideas for other videos you’d like to see, let me know!

I know my videos aren’t very good, my lighting is bad, and the videos were shot with my point & shoot camera! Even so, I’d love to know what else you’d like to see me do!

Happy Heinys XS Newborn Pocket Diaper Review (Plus Discount)

Aug 11,2011 / By Maria / 4 Comments

The Happy Heinys XS pocket diaper is sized to fit tiny newborns. I haven’t been able to find a size range for the XS, but the small is 8-16 lbs, so I imagine this XS would be perhaps 5-12 lbs. I do have another post coming up comparing the XS pocket to the mini-one size!

The diaper comes with Velcro closures, and extra-gentle leg elastic (not encased.)

The diapers retail for $18.95 with a microfiber insert, but you can get them for $2.00 less without an insert. Since I have plenty of small inserts, I elected to save the $2.00!

The small insert from my one-size Happy Heinys diaper was too wide, but a narrower insert fit just fine.

Here is the diaper measured folded and stretched:

The XS pocket compared to the one-size diaper on the small setting:

Finally, here’s my “model” in a newborn disposable, compared to the XS pocket:

See this on my newborn.

Mailbox Mondays 8/8/11 – Storing Cloth Diapers

Aug 8,2011 / By Maria / 1 Comment

Well, we almost didn’t have a Mailbox Mondays this week! Here I am, just dying to answer your questions, and I didn’t get a single submission. For shame! 😉

Questions don’t have to be cloth diaper related, just email maria at change-diapers.com with “Mailbox Mondays” in the subject, or fill out my contact form for readers, which you will always be able to find on my Contact Page.

Catherine came to the rescue and asked:

I was wondering- after my babe outgrows her dipes, is there something I should do before I store them so they don’t get stinky?

GroVia Newborn AIO Cloth Diaper Review

Aug 2,2011 / By Maria / 10 Comments

The GroVia Newborn AIO cloth diaper is an award winning diaper designed for babies 5-12 pounds.

I chose the gender neutral vanilla color, but it’s also available in several cute prints. The TPU outers mean you don’t need a separate cover.

The diaper has a simple snap closure, as well as a snap down rise for an even better fit.

The sewn-in and flap soakers are made of 80% certified organic cotton, so you do need to wash & dry the diaper 5+ times before it will reach it’s maximum absorbency.

Here it is measured folded and stretched:

Small:

Large:

Here is the newborn AIO on the small setting, vs the GroVia AI2 on the small setting:

Here’s my model in a preemie disposable and the small GroVia Newborn AIO:

Snap-EZ Training Pants Review – Updated 11/11/13

Jul 28,2011 / By Maria / 22 Comments

I first heard of Snap-EZ during the great cloth diaper hunt, when I swear I spent hours looking at a virtual store shelf of trainers on an extreme sponsor’s site! What really caught my eye is the extreme size range they have, to fit older children, special needs children, and adults. They have extenders available to make them even larger. Though the pocket diapers have the widest size range (starting at youth small, and going up to adult XL), the training pants come in sizes that will fit kids with a 22″ rise, 20″ thighs and 30″ waist!
