A Year of Fluff Cloth Diapers Giveaway Pocket Diapers Retailers Review Velcro/Aplix Closure

Kawaii Baby One Size Pocket Diaper Review & Giveaway, Sponsored by Sew Crafty Baby (CLOSED 10/21)

Sew Crafty Baby is an online cloth diaper and baby leg warmers store. I have a few favorite places to buy cloth diapers, and Sew Crafty Baby is a great one! They have both the big names as well as tons of harder to find brands. They have a kickback program to earn points for the money you spend, and they have an affiliate program. Don’t worry, none of the links in this post are affiliate links; I’m not an affiliate! I actually just discovered the program as I was writing this post! They even have a gift registry!

Best of all, shipping is always free! There’s always an option to pay a little bit extra to bump up to priority shipping, but I love being able to order anything I want without worrying about meeting a $50 (or $75 or $99) minimum for free shipping! Another neat feature is that the site will tell you how many of the item are in stock!

Sew Crafty Baby sent me a Kawaii One Size Pocket Diaper to review, and they’re sending one to one of my blog readers as well!

I’ve been asked about Kawaii quite a bit, and I was as curious as the rest of you. At $9.99 each, they seem too good to be true! I was surprised when I received it; it seems very nice, and reminds me of other big name o/s pocket diapers.

It has aplix closures with laundry tabs, a nice wide pocket, and came with two microfiber inserts.

It is one-size via a snap down rise.

Here is is on the small setting, folded and stretched:

Medium setting, folded and stretched:

Large setting, folded and stretched:

My son is about 18.5 pounds and 30 inches, and fit in the medium setting with plenty of room to spare.

We didn’t have any fit or leaking issues; the diaper has help up wonderfully so far. The real test will be how it wears over time.

Sew Crafty Baby has competitive prices, excellent customer service, a wide selection and of course, the free shipping! They are in my top two stores to check when I’m looking to buy fluff! You can keep up with Sew Crafty Baby on Facebook or join the mailing list to stay up on new or restocked products, sales and more.

So I closed the form to new responses, just as my laptop decided to complete it’s slow, agonizing death. By the time I got on to another computer to finish what I was doing two more entries had popped in, even though I confirmed the form was closed before the computer kicked the bucket. Ugh. Anyhoo, I’m leaving those entries since it was my own fault.

249 people entered the giveaway, with a total of 432 entries! Wow!

The winner is #147, which is Jody! I’m sending you an email!

Now, I should be writing up more of my Year of Fluff posts, but after this computer stuff, I think I’m going to bed. I’ve got a giveaway post all ready for tomorrow, and Friday’s giveaway roundup is just about ready too!

Bumbledoo Training Pants Review & $10 Gift Certificate Giveaway (CLOSED 10/20)

Oct 13,2010 / By Maria / 10 Comments

>

While my daughter was interested in the potty at 16 months, my son is definitely not! Even so, I’m interested in training pants, and I know lots of you are too! Bumbledoo sent me a pair of teeny tiny adorable Bumble Training Pants.

From Bumbledoo:

Size Chart for Reference:

Approx Weight Waist Thigh(inches/cm) Rise(inches/cm)
Size 1 18 – 22lbs. 16in / 40 cm 12 in / 30.5 cm 15 in / 38 cm
Size 2 22 – 26lbs. 18 in / 45.5 cm 13 in / 33 cm 16 in / 40 cm
Size 3 26 – 30 lbs. 20 in / 50.5 cm 14 in / 35.5 cm 17 in / 43 cm
Size 4 30 – 34 lbs. 22 in / 56 cm 15 in / 38 cm 18 in / 45.5 cm
Size 5 34 – 38 lbs. 24 in / 61 cm 16 in / 40 cm 19 in / 48 cm
Size 6 and up are custom orders. Please email with measurements.

They have a PUL outer to contain mess and come in side snapping (what I received), adjustable snap, stuffable and pull up styles. I received the size 1.

The trainers have a suedecloth inner and a soaker made of 4 layers of zorb.

Above is the trainer measured folded and stretched. It seems “smaller” than the diapers my son is wearing, but really, it just has more of an underwear style cut.

Trainer vs Medium O/S Diapers

I had intended to just try the trainer on him for now, but with all the absorbency, I ended up using as a diaper (I just checked it a little early, just in case!) It was nice because it was super easy to put on him.

In these photos he is about 18.5 pounds, 30″ at 16 months old. It fit him well and he definitely has lots of room to grow into it too!

Bumbledoo also makes (deep breath!): bumble all-in-two diapers, prefolds, diaper covers, pocket diapers, swim diapers, burp cloth prefolds (I love these!), inserts, wipes, organizers, booties (oh I wish I had a little girl to put those on!!) toddler aprons, mama cloth, nursing covers, nursing pads and offers diaper repair and embroidery. Whew. I’m wondering if there is anything she doesn’t do!

Giveaway: Bumbledoo is offering a blog reader $10 towards anything in ~~the Bumbledoo Web Store~~ OR ~~Bumbledoo’s Etsy Shop. Yes, the trainers are handmade by WAHM Malia! Very hard to believe based on the quality and craftsmanship, but it’s true!~~

Here’s how to enter: All entries go in the form below. I’d love for you to leave a comment, either about Bumbledoo, or just to remind yourself that you entered. Keep in mind that entries left in the comments won’t count. Mandatory entries include name, email address and your favorite ~~Bumbledoo Item on Etsy~~ OR ~~the web store. You may “like”~~ ~~Bumbledoo on Facebook~~ ~~for a bonus entry. This post will be updated daily (or so) with the # of entries received, for those of you who like to know your odds.~~

I will accept entries until Wednesday, October 20th 2010 at 9 P.M. Eastern. I will select a winner using random.org’s true random number generator and notify him/her by email. Winner has 48 hours to respond before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is chosen. View my ~~giveaway rules~~ page for complete details. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.
