Kissaluvs Kissa’s Pocket Training Pants Review

Kissaluvs Training Pants 1

The last mystery product from Kissaluvs is training pants, as readers had guessed!

Kissaluvs Training Pants 2 backKissaluvs Training Pants 3 side

They will be available in a 2T (20-32 lbs) and a 3T (28-40 lbs.)

Kissaluvs Training Pants 4 snap closures

They have two snap settings on each side and are easy to pull up and down without unsnapping.

Kissaluvs Training Pants 5 inner

The inner is what made me say “oohhhhh!!” when I opened the package. The dinos are so darn cute!! The inner is 100% cotton flannel, so a toddler will feel the wetness of an accident.

Kissaluvs Training Pants 6 pocket

The Kissa’s training pants are pocket trainers, so you can stuff them to customize the absorbency.

Kissaluvs Training Pants 7 sewn in soaker

The training pant has a 2-layer microfiber insert sewn in, so it can be used as is (this is the trainer pictured inside out.)

Kissaluvs Training Pants 8 with microfiber insert

The trainer is quite trim and a little narrow through the crotch, but I was able to stuff a narrower full-size insert in the pocket.

Kissaluvs Training Pants 9 2t vs large marvels aioKissaluvs Training Pants 10 2t vs large marvels aio

Above is the 2T trainer I received, compared to the Kissaluvs Marvels AIO on the large setting. My son is 2 years old and 23 pounds and still wears the medium setting of the Marvels AIO and other one-size diapers, so he could really use a bit smaller size in the trainer.

Kissaluvs Training Pants 11 on 23 lb babyKissaluvs Training Pants 12 2t side on baby

The 2T trainer was really easy to pull on and seemed to fit well, but for a great fit, we’d need it to be a little more snug at the legs (he ended up sagging a bit.) My son is rather unusual though; he is just now on the growth charts at 2 years old, and still wears mostly 24 month clothing.

Kissaluvs Training Pants 13 2t back on baby

The trainers will be available in lagoon blue, chocolate (what I reviewed) or gold with the dino inner, and white with a cycle print inner. They will be available starting June 15th with an MSRP of $14.95, but they will have an introductory price of just $12.95 until the end of June!

I’d say the sewn in soaker is enough to catch an accident, but you’d need to add an insert to hold more than that. I think they are really a great value since they are available in larger sizes and can be used as a pocket diaper or trainer. You can buy them for a baby who is perhaps on the cusp of learning to use the potty and use them as a pocket diaper first, a trainer later. This is especially great since there aren’t that many diapers available to fit kids who outgrow large cloth diapers. Of course, I haven’t seen/measured a 3T but since the 2T is about the same size as a large diaper, I think it’s safe to assume the 3T is larger. 🙂 2013 update: See the 3T & both on my 4.5 year old in my updated Kissaluvs trainers review.

Oh Katy Cloth Diaper Giveaway U.S./Canada (CLOSED 5/19) Plus Quick Comparison to Katydid Cloth

Oh Katy Cloth Diaper

Last year, I posted my Katydid Cloth diaper review. Since then, Katydid Cloth has become Oh Katy, but I haven’t done an Oh Katy cloth diaper review! I just ordered some more Loopydo Inserts and Bumgenius 4.0 diapers for night time, so I could stretch my washing to every 3 or so days. I ordered from Kelly’s Closet (why yes, that is an affiliate link, tee-hee) and I used the coupon MAYFLOWERS to get a free one-size diaper valued at $17 or higher. I had my fingers crossed that I’d get something I hadn’t tried yet, or maybe a Bumgenius 4.0, but these things never work out that way for me! What I got was the Oh Katy diaper you see above, same color as my Katydid Cloth diaper and everything!!

Oh Katy Cloth Diaper vs katydid cloth

So, I figured I’d pass it along to one of my loverly readers instead.

Oh Katy Cloth Diaper vs katydid cloth tags

The big change of course, is the name. The also added a few new colors, reduced the amount of packaging and switched to more gentle elastic. The sage color looks slightly different, and the packaging says the outer is TPU. I checked the inner tag of the Katydid (don’t have the original packaging obviously) and it just says 100% polyester. So, I’m not sure if they have always been TPU (didn’t think so) or if they used to be PUL.

I obviously didn’t want to open the package for photos, you can view measurements etc. in the Katydid review from last year. That was one of the posts where my spacing ended up funky after my hosting switch (I am sure there are still more out there too!) and when I added single line breaks, it added gaping chasms of white space. I figure it’s better than being all squished up though, so oh well!

I did take two photos so you can see that the leg and rear elastic definitely do look looser, so they shouldn’t leave red marks on your baby!

Cloth Diapers Giveaway Made in the USA Pocket Diapers Review Snap Closure WAHM made

Kim’s Cloth Embroidered Diaper Review & Giveaway (CLOSED 5/11)

Kim's Cloth Diaper 1 back

I was a tester last year when Kim of Kim’s Crafts was perfecting her Kim’s Cloth diapers. They start at just $13.00, and go up to $19 for specialty ruffle butt or Kimbroidery (embroidered) diapers. Mine was $21.00 shipped!

Kim's Cloth Diaper 2 frontKim's Cloth Diaper 3 front

I have zero photography talent (less than zero if that’s possible) and black minky is especially hard to photograph! The photos I’ve taken don’t do this diaper justice at all. I’m really impressed with the attention to detail, including neat, even stitching!

Kim's Cloth Diaper 4 detail

The diaper has snap closures.

Kim's Cloth Diaper 5 snap closures

You can buy Kim’s Cloth Diapers with fleece or minky inners. Mine is minky!

Kim's Cloth Diaper 6 inner

It’s a pocket diaper with a rear opening. The pocket isn’t enormous, but I didn’t have any trouble stuffing it!

Kim's Cloth Diaper 7 pocket

My tester diaper had a microfiber towel for stuffing. I’m not crazy about them, largely because the feeling of microfiber on my hands creeps me out (microfiber inserts don’t do this to me, I don’t know why.) I’m also not great at folding them so they fit in the pocket just right.

Kim's Cloth Diaper 9 measured insertKim's Cloth Diaper 10 insert sitting on pocket

This time I received a sewn insert, which is 2 layers of microfiber sandwiched between flannel. It is small enough to fit nicely in the smallest setting.

Kim’s Cloth Diapers are “one size fits most” and are estimated to fit 15-45 pounds (based on Kim’s experience, tester and customer feedback.) They are a bit larger than some other “one-size” diapers, and I think the sizes are probably medium, medium/long, large and extra-large, but to keep things simple, I’m going to refer to them as small, medium, large and extra-large!

Kim's Cloth Diaper 11 size adjustment

The size adjustment is through 4 snap settings on the leg elastic. It’s easy to find the snaps inside the pocket, and they are sticky enough to not come undone accidentally, but not sticky enough to make it difficult to adjust!

Here are the 4 sizes measured folded and stretched. As always, this isn’t an exact science, since measurements can really vary depending on exactly how I pull the fabric, but it should give you an idea! (P.S. I know I should have lint rolled this between washing & photographing it. Sorry!)

Small (4th snap setting):

Kim's Cloth Diaper 12 small foldedKim's Cloth Diaper 13 small stretched
Kim's Cloth Diaper 14 small

Medium (3rd snap setting):

Kim's Cloth Diaper 15 medium foldedKim's Cloth Diaper 16 medium stretched
Kim's Cloth Diaper 17 medium

Large (2nd snap setting):

Kim's Cloth Diaper 20 large

Extra-large (1st snap setting):

Kim's Cloth Diaper 21 xl foldedKim's Cloth Diaper 22 xl stretched
Kim's Cloth Diaper 23 xl

My son is 23 months old and about 22 pounds. Initially, I tried him in the large (2nd snap) setting, but it was a bit big.

Kim's Cloth Diaper 24 large on 22 lb babyKim's Cloth Diaper 25 large front
Kim's Cloth Diaper 26 large sideKim's Cloth Diaper 27 large back

So then I tried him in the medium (3rd snap, second to smallest) setting. It looks a little funny because I literally adjusted and re-fastened the diaper while he was on the run, LOL.

Kim's Cloth Diaper 28 medium frontKim's Cloth Diaper 29 medium side
Kim's Cloth Diaper 30 medium back

Giveaway: Kim’s Cloth is offering one reader a custom Kimbroidery diaper in the winner’s choice of minky and embroidery design (Kim will email the winner with available embroidery designs.) ARV $19.00

Cloth Diapers Giveaway Made in the USA One Size Diapers Pocket Diapers Review Side Snapping Snap Closure

Knickernappies One Size Pocket Diaper Review & Giveaway (CLOSED 5/3)

knickernappies cloth diaper

Last year, I won not one, but two Knickernappies 2G (sized) pocket diapers (now called Knickernappies Custom Fit Pocket Diapers,) but I’ve never tried a Knickernappies One-Size.

I tend to gravitate towards one-size diapers, even though my son has been in mediums since 4 months/14 lbs and is still in mediums at 23 months/22 lbs! My daughter was an itty bitty peanut, but my son started out so much bigger, I thought he’d be my hefty kid. His growth slowed and he’s been at the bottom of the charts, just like his sister. I kicked myself for not cloth diapering her, since she wouldn’t have needed anything bigger than a medium. (This was almost 7 years ago, when the only modern cloth I could find was one brand of sized diapers; I thought I’d need 25 each XS-XL and balked at the $2k+ price tag. Dumb me.)

knickernappies cloth diaper 00 back

I was so fortunate to receive a Knickernappies One-Size Diaper courtesy of Knickernappies. The diapers and the inserts are made in the USA. Knickernappies provides a two-year warranty on elastic and a lifetime warranty on snaps!

knickernappies cloth diaper 1 inserts

I received the turquoise, which is a gorgeous, gender neutral blue. The one-size diapers include two microfiber inserts (small and large) for $19.95. They are also available with the Loopydo inserts (my absolute favorite inserts) for $24.95. Definitely worth the $5 upgrade, though the included microfiber inserts are incredibly absorbent too!

knickernappies cloth diaper 2 snaps

Like the sized diapers, the one-size is a side snapping diaper, with 5 snap settings for a great fit on any size baby.

knickernappies cloth diaper 3 rise snaps

The one-size diaper adjusts to 4 sizes by way of rise snaps; Knickernappies refers to the sizes as small, medium-short, medium and large. Knickernappies has tested the diaper to fit babies from 8-40 pounds.

knickernappies cloth diaper 4 innerknickernappies cloth diaper 5 pocket

The diaper has a super soft, pill resistant microfleece (stay dry) inner and a rear pocket opening.  The elastic is lastin elastic, which won’t “go out” like the usual stuff.

Here is the small setting measured folded and stretched:

knickernappies cloth diaper small foldedknickernappies cloth diaper small stretched
knickernappies cloth diaper small

Medium-Short:

knickernappies cloth diaper medium short foldedknickernappies cloth diaper medium short stretched
knickernappies cloth diaper medium short

Medium (the size my son is wearing):

knickernappies cloth diaper 12 medium foldedknickernappies cloth diaper 13 medium stretched
knickernappies cloth diaper 14 medium

Large:

knickernappies cloth diaper 15 large foldedknickernappies cloth diaper 16 large stretched
knickernappies cloth diaper 17 large

You can view my Knickernappies Custom Fit Diaper Review for measurements of the medium, but here are a few photos to show how the two compare:

knickernappies cloth diaper 18 one size vs mediumknickernappies cloth diaper 19 one size vs medium front
knickernappies cloth diaper 20 one size vs medium wingsknickernappies cloth diaper 21 fronts

Obviously one is sized and one is one-size, but they are otherwise very similar. My one-size doesn’t have the front elastic that my sized diaper has though.

knickernappies cloth diaper 22 front elastic on medknickernappies cloth diaper 23 leg elastics

Here is the medium diaper vs. the one-size on medium:

knickernappies cloth diaper 24 med v med

and the medium compared to the one-size on large and small:

knickernappies cloth diaper 25 med vs largeknickernappies cloth diaper 26 med vs snall

I put my son in the medium setting. He is on the next-to-tightest snaps, so he has one more rise setting and three snap settings to grow into! Again, he is 23 months old and about 22 pounds (estimated, not totally sure!)

knickernappies cloth diaper 27 med os on 22 lb babyknickernappies cloth diaper 28 front

For some reason, he looks like he has a wedgie in these pictures, but he didn’t! It was just the way the PUL creased. The insert and inners weren’t giving him an atomic wedgie as it appears!

knickernappies cloth diaper 29 sideknickernappies cloth diaper 30 back

I can also assure you that the inserts are extremely absorbent. At the risk of making myself sound like a terrible mother, he had this diaper on (with the large insert only) for nearly twice the time I’d usually leave a diaper on him. We went to visit my Grandmother at the nursing home and when we came home, my husband was outside. The kids wanted to play outside, so I seized the opportunity to cook dinner uninterrupted. When it was ready, we got cleaned up, ate dinner, cleaned up again and…oh no! it had been almost 4 hours since I changed him. 🙁 The insert was pretty darn wet, but not a single leak!

Giveaway: Knickernappies is sending one winner a one-size pocket diaper with microfiber inserts, in the winner’s choice of color (subject to availability.) ARV $19.95

Cloth Diapers Giveaway Large/Special Needs Diapers Made in the USA One Size Diapers Pocket Diapers Review Side Snapping Sized Diapers Snap Closure WAHM made

Green Acre Designs Cloth Diaper Review & Giveaway U.S./Canada (CLOSED 4/19)

green acre designs cloth diaper

Since I started cloth diapering in 2009, I’ve heard Green Acre Designs (GAD) mentioned a lot. GAD makes sized pocket diapers and AIOs with PUL, fleece, or fuzzy “GADimals” outers. They also have one-size semi-fitted pockets, covers and inserts. Definitely worth noting are their husky medium and extra-large sizes. Weights are difficult to estimate since it really depends on the child’s build, but GAD estimates the extra-large will fit 29-55 pounds (Rise: 15-22, Waist: 14-28, Thigh: 11-19, Stride: 6), so check these out if you’re looking for a large or special needs child!

green acre designs  with insert

I received a gorgeous embroidered medium pocket diaper and a one-size microfiber terry insert.

green acre designs one size insertgreen acre designs loop insert

The embroidered diaper retails for $23.95 and the inserts are $4.50 each. The insert is sewn in a loop for more thorough washing and faster drying, and the flaps give you the ability to put the absorbency where you need it (4 layers in the insert and 4 in the flaps.) Green Acre Designs also has sized microfiber and French terry inserts, one-size hemp French terry inserts and hemp French terry doublers.

green acre designs front and back elasticgreen acre designs side snapping

The pocket diaper has elastic on both the front and back of the diaper to contain messes, and side snaps for a trim fit.

green acre designs embroidery covered

The diaper I received has an additional flap of PUL covering the embroidery to prevent any wicking through. This embroidery backing is an option available for an additional $1.00.

green acre designs frontgreen acre designs sidegreen acre designs back

The diaper has 1 mil PUL outside and microfleece inside. All GAD diapers come with a one-year warranty on snaps, elastic and PUL!

green acre designs earth day embroidery

I received the “green baby” embroidery on kiwi PUL with butter microfleece, but there are tons of color and embroidery options available!

I’m loving all the little details like the finished pocket opening edges.

green acre designs finished pocket opening edges

The diaper I received is a medium. My son is about 22 months and 22 pounds, and it fits him wonderfully with plenty of room to grow. Here is the size chart (ranges of course vary greatly based on your baby’s size & shape!):

Pocket Sizing
Waist (Inches) Thigh (Inches) Rise (Inches) Stride (Inches) Weight (Pounds)
Approximate Age
Small 8-16 6-9 10.5-14 4.5 7-15 0-6 Months
Medium 11-23 8-13 12-16 5.5 12-25 2-18 Months
Medium Long 11-23 8-14 12.5-17 5.5 15-35 3 Months-2.5 Years
Husky Medium 12-24 8-14 12-16 5.5 15-35 3 Months-2.5 Years
Large 12-24 9-15 14-19 5.5 22-40 8 Months-4 Years
Extra Large Coming Soon Coming Soon Coming Soon 6 28-55 1.5 Years-7 Year

Here I’ve measured the medium folded and stretched:

green acre designs medium foldedgreen acre designs medium stretched

I thought the diaper looked just as adorable on.

green acre designs green acre designs front
green acre designs leggreen acre designs front

It fit really well, and the one-size microfiber insert was very absorbent. It did take me a little bit to figure out exactly how to fold it, so he has quite the booty in this picture!!

Giveaway: Green Acre Designs is offering one reader a PUL pocket diaper with microfleece inner, in their choice of color and size, along with a microfiber insert (ARV $19.45.) The winner is able to upgrade to a hemp insert for $2.00, or pay to add embroidery if they choose!
