Goodmama One
>
Goodmama diapers are very popular. They’re quite pricey, and some hard to find prints can go for even more, even used!
They’re most well known for their fitteds, but they also make an All-in-One.
They sell exclusive prints through different stores, and I snagged The Pebbled One from Kelly’s Closet with my gift certificate.
They call this an all in one, but it appears more like an all in two to me. There is no absorbent material sewn into the diaper, only the snap in soaker and lay in booster. I’ve heard some people say that a true all in two has a shell that can be wiped out and re-used with a new snap in at each change. Because this one has velour inside, it would need to be washed after a single use, thus making it an all in one. *shrug*
Anyhoo, because it’s organic bamboo velour A.K.A. OBV (actually usually bamboo, cotton and polyester), it had to be washed and dried at least 4-6 times before use. It takes 6-10 uses to reach it’s full absorbency potential.
I did wash it the minimum number of times before use, and it didn’t hold much. I’ve heard people say the “ones” wick at the legs. Wicking would be putting it mildly. I know he’s wet it because his clothes are wet!
This is a “one size” diaper, but it doesn’t have the snap down rise. It has a fold down rise with an extra set of snaps.
Overall, I’m disappointed and not feelin’ the Goodmama love!
Edit August 2010: I do not use this diaper anymore. It leaks so badly I have to use it with a cover, which is annoying and bulky. The snaps leave red marks on his tummy, and the diaper wore so quickly that I doubt it would have any resale value, even without the leaking issues.
Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air. 
[…] to spend that much. Especially since the most expensive diapers I’ve ever bought, the Goodmama One and Blueberry Minky (before the price decrease that came with the change to microfiber inserts) […]
