Well, I finally got a Mailbox Mondays submission! If you need cloth diaper advice, submit your question. Each week, I answer a reader submitted question, and ask my readers to help too!
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.
I’m hoping to get some posts pre-written before the baby is born, so if there’s something you’ve been thinking about, please send it in!
Anne Marie says:
I love almost everything about cloth diapering EXCEPT for the frustrations I encounter in the laundry room! After 3 years of diapering I still cannot find a solution for the faint “diaper pail odor” that lingers in all of my PUL covers, and the ammonia smell I sometimes get in dirty/wet prefolds. I’ve tried diaper-approved detergents, I’ve tried long soaks, I’ve tried stripping and extra rinses and even sunning them for extended periods. I also make sure I condition my water because it’s really hard.
All I want is clean, fresh smelling diapers. Can you help?
Thanks
Anne Marie
Complete Skin Care offers discounts of up to 30% off of tons of big name skin care brands. Once you like the Facebook page, just click on “shopping” in the left column. From there, you can sort or search by product type, price or company name. With almost 2,000 products, I definitely recommend narrowing it down. 😉
Click on the contest tab and enter to win daily product giveaways! It’s easy to enter, just type your name, email and what product you’d like to win. They draw and announce a winner every day!
One of the brands they have is bareMinerals by Bare Escentuals. I haven’t tried bareMinerals, but I’ve heard quite a few “crunchy” mamas say they love it, and the majority of the products are rated well in the Cosmetics Safety Database. They have everything from starter kits to foundations, to brush cleaner sprays and color cosmetics.
For some reason, the Facebook page shows that the items are regular price, but if you click through to the website, it shows you the right price.
Some of the bareMinerals products I’d love to try:
bareMinerals Beauty on the Go Retail Price: $28.00 Sale Price: $23.53 You Save: $4.47 (16 %)
bareMinerals Get Started Kit (Fair) 9 pc kit Retail Price: $60.00 Sale Price: $50.40 You Save: $9.60 (16 %)
bareMinerals 100% Natural Lipgloss-Wild Honey (0.14 oz) Retail Price: $15.00 Sale Price: $12.60 You Save: $2.40 (16 %)
bareMinerals Glimpse-City Lights (.02 oz) Retail Price: $13.00 Sale Price: $10.92 You Save: $2.08 (16 %)
bareMinerals Buxom Lips-Sugar (.15oz) Retail Price: $18.00 Sale Price: $15.13 You Save: $2.87 (16 %) The lip plumpers don’t get the best ratings on the safety scale, but I didn’t expect something that plumped my lips to rate too well. 🙂
I don’t ask for much, do I? Hee hee. I will definitely have to remember to enter the contest every day, and hopefully I’ll win something. Let me know if you win anything!!
All U.S. orders over $50 get free shipping, and if you sign up for their newsletter, you can save with coupon codes too!

Bebe Bottom Skincare makes Baby Fresh Cleanser, a diaper changing spray cleanser and alternative to disposable wipes.
Spray on baby’s bottom, wait a few seconds, then wipe.
88% organic ingredients:
Organic Aloe Leaf Juice, Polysorbate 20 (surfectant), Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Decyl Glucoside (surfectant), Cocoamidopropyl Betaine (surfectant), Tea Tree Oil, Denatured Alcohol, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol (preservative), Tetrasodium Edta (chelating agent), Propylene Glycol (humectant), FD&C Red 40, FD&C Red 3, FD&C Blue 1, Citric Acid
It is fairly heavily fragranced (I think it smells nice though.) My son has very sensitive skin, but we can’t seem to predict what will bother him and what won’t. We’ve been rotating this with another spray with simpler ingredients, and haven’t noticed any irritation. However, based on the ingredients, I would recommend using caution on babies with sensitive skin.
This would be a nice gift for someone who is just moving away from mainstream products into cloth diapers & wipes. It has that familiar baby smell, and works very well. Even very sticky messes just lifted right off with a gentle wipe. No scrubbing or repeated wiping needed.
Baby Fresh Cleanser is available from Bebe Bottom Skincare for $9.75 per 8 ounce bottle, with free shipping within the United States.
Giveaway: One winner will receive an 8 ounce bottle of Baby Fresh Cleanser (ARV $9.75.) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form.
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. Read More »
