Cloth Diapers Diaper Covers Giveaway Made in Canada Newborn Diapers PUL Review Sized Diapers

Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Review & Giveaway (CLOSED 1/27)

>

bummis super whisper wrap newborn

I’ve been wanting to try one of Bummis wraps, even though I really don’t need any more diapers.  I got a gift card to an online cloth diaper store for Christmas, so I snagged a super whisper wrap in the celery dot pattern, newborn size (7-10 lbs.)  The wraps are also available in small (8-15 lbs), medium (15-30 lbs), large (30 lbs) and extra large (40 lbs/white only.) 

Bummis has 5 types of diaper covers, and this chart compares them all, to clear things up for confused people like me!

The super whisper wrap has aplix closure tabs that can cross over:

bummis super whisper wrap aplix closure
It has 2 mil PUL laminate sandwiched between 2 layers of polyester for added durability, and it feels quite sturdy.
 

bummis diaper cover front bummis wrap inner
 
It has a fairly generous cut, and can be used with prefolds, inserts or fitted diapers.

Bummis notes that the newborn size of the super whisper wrap is good for bigger newborns, but the Super Bright (exposed inner PUL, leg gussets, more lightweight, great for skinny babies), Super Lite (1 mil exposed PUL, trim fit, very lightweight) and Bummi Original (coated nylon and polyester mesh, very lightweight, very very trim, no elastic, use with inserts/prefolds only) will fit smaller newborns or preemies, starting around 4 pounds.

Here’s the Super Whisper Wrap Newborn size measured folded and stretched:

I called in my usual diaper model for help:

Here’s the wrap over a Kissaluvs size 0 fitted:

and over a trifolded prefold:

Here it is compared to some other newborn diapers (to compare size):

The cut/shape reminds me of the Bummis Swimmi swim diaper.  I can’t put the newborn cover to the test of course, but it is a very sturdy, durable cover, and a great value at $12.95! See fit on my newborn.

Giveaway: Bummis is offering one of my readers a Super Whisper Wrap in his/her choice of size and color.


Here’s how to enter: All entries go in the form below.  I love your comments (leaving a comment is a good way to remind yourself you entered), but comments don’t count as entries!  Mandatory entries include name, email address and what other Bummis product you’d like to try.  You can receive a bonus entry if you “like” Bummis on Facebook.

Cloth Diapers Made in the USA Natural Fiber Diapers Newborn Diapers Prefolds Review

Babykicks Newborn/Small Hemp Prefold Photo Review

>

babykicks hemp prefold

It’s no secret that I’m more of a pocket diaper type Mama than a prefold Mama, but I’ve heard great things about Babykicks hemp prefolds.  I wanted to something to go with a newborn wrap I bought with a gift card (I know, I know…it’s an illness!) so I snagged a newborn/small size from sewcraftybaby for $6.59, less a new customer discount, and got free shipping too!
 

hemp organic cotton blend prefold

Babykicks are hemp and organic cotton, and are 2 layers on the sides and 3 in the middle.
 
Here it is before prepping (washing and drying about 3 times to remove the natural oils and fluff up the fibers.):

Here it is after prepping (you can see how much fluffier it got):

Here it is on my newborn stand in (I know I need some practice with prefolds!):

The prefolds are available in small, medium, large and extra-large and also make great pocket diaper stuffers!

Bring on the mama cloth, I finally have somewhere to put it!

>I don’t know if you remember my post asking where you keep your “supplies,” but we previously had zero space in our half bath, and I was trying to figure out what to do/where to keep stuff.  I am so excited that we’ve finally updated our half bath to new, more modern decor and I have storage space now, woo-hoo!

My husband received Lowes gift cards for Christmas, and I received one to Bed, Bath and Beyond.  We went to Lowes to get salt for our water softener, and they had a gorgeous vanity with granite top and under mount sink for half price!  We got that, some beaded wainscot, trim and other things, and spent around $200 for the update (money we received as Christmas gifts.)

Here’s a reminder of what the bathroom looked like before:

my potty tee heemy bathroom

I chose the towels/rug ten years ago, so I think it was time for a change.  My tastes have definitely changed since then!

We’re not completely done yet, we need to paint over some caulking, put some knickknacks on the shelf, and I’m working on some modern artwork for the side wall.

I’m so excited! I was just hoping for an above the toilet storage thingie, and I got this! I can’t get over how nice it looks, and I’m so proud of my hubby for getting it (mostly) done!

mirror ledge shelf

So, yay!  Now I definitely want to start getting some mama cloth now that I have somewhere to keep it.  Though, can you imagine if someone decided to snoop in there?  That surprise would serve them right, hee hee!

If you use mama cloth (I swear I’ve asked this before but I can’t remember?) what is your favorite brand?
