Fuzzibunz Cloth Diaper and Hanging Wet Bag Review

I recieved a brown Fuzzinbunz from Al l About Baby. I like the color.  It is the first sized diaper I have tried. It is a medium and I am already using it on my nearly 20lb 6 month old. It is extremely soft and one of my favorites to use cause we have no issues with it being to thick or having the front wings drop. It would also fit my 2 year old that is 28 lbs.

The only negative thing in my mind is the price but it is also a good diaper. So if you can afford to buy these I would suggest them. I wish I could afford to buy only sized diapers I would. The down side to that would be having to store more diapers when you were done.

Overall a very good experience. I also bought one of the hanging wet bags. Not overly impressed with the smell factor. I haven't had it wick at all and love the yellow color. I wish that it also zipped at the top to keep the smell in. I know it comes with a piece of fabric sewn in so you can put oils on it to make it smell better. I have not tried this but don't plan to either cause it is just extra cost in my mind.

In closing: Fuzzibunz is a great company and has great products.

Cloth by Tel Diapers

As in prior posts I mentioned I am new to cloth diapers. That being said I bought most of my diapers from Cloth by Tel. Her website is HERE I love all the colors and the prints that are offered. She also sells leg warmers and some other accessories.

When I received my package, the diapers were extremely soft and lovely colors.I ordered 27 diapers so I received the free shipping on my order. I ordered 5 red, 5 orange, 5 brown, 5 blue with stars, 5 camo, and 2 brown camo minky.

On the positive side, I really love the colors and prints as I said before. She has good customer service which is nice since I live in Nebraska and she is in Canada. The diapers do a good job of keeping the poop in. The only time we have had an issue is when my two year old took his own diaper off. I can use these for approximately 2-3 hours before they need changed. At night time I just double the insert and have not had an more of an issue than I have had with disposables.

Cons: would be I do wish they worked alittle better absorbency wise. I have other diapers that I prefer if I am going out of the house just for this reason. The second con would be the snaps. I love the idea of snaps but some of the snaps don't seem to hold well especially in the rise sizings. I do have a wing droop issue also. Which hasn't cause any problem just looks funny. Lastly, I don't believe these would fit really well before 15lbs even though they are suppose to go from 8lbs and up.

Overall, These are an excellent diaper. The price really can't be beat and once you learn their limits(the diapers) then there shouldn't be much of a problem. I would and I have recommended these diapers to friends and family. It is a affordable way to start cloth diapering and couldn't be much easier.

Bumgenius Review

Just like in the last post, this is a diaper that I won. It is one of the brand new 4.0 One Size in Ribbit (springy green) color. I like the color. I also like that the snaps hold really well and that I have never had a leak and with the doubler it makes an excellent night time diaper.

That being said. I am not a huge fan of the washing issues I have had. I have a hard time getting it to smell clean when all the other diapers do. I also don't like how hard it is to get the insert in the right spot so that my little guy that is 5 months old doesn't have a "front Butt".

Overall  it is a very good diaper for what it is made for. Will I be buying more? Probably not. Even though it works great I just can't stand the issues that I have had with it. It is one of the last diapers that I use even though I love the color. I think it will work a little better once he gets bigger. So if my opinion changes I will give you an update.

Softbums Review

Recently I won a Softbums Echo in snow cone color. We have used it for approximately one week. It is a perfect fit on my 4 month old thanks to the slide 2 technology. It is easy to size up for my 2 year old also. We have used this diaper during the day and at night. It works great for both. My little guy sleep 9 hours overnight in it and the diaper kept everything inside. It is just an awesome system.. The color is the lightest blue like the blue in cotton candy and I think it would work great for a boy or a girl. The Velcro tabs are a dream. Couldn't ask for something closer to the ease of a disposable to a new cloth diapering mom. We absolutely love the snap in inserts and that it is not a pocket diaper. We have had several poops in the diaper and nothing has come out.

Overall an awesome diaper and would love to make my entire stash of cloth be Softbums.

Counseling

My husband and I just spent 2 days in marriage counseling. We have one more day to go back. It made such a difference. Have not been this happy in years. Just a note of encouragement if you are having problems or think everything is fine. Find a good counselor and watch how life can change.

Projects this year

So far this year I have made suede curtains for both boy's bedrooms and made 38 flannel wipes as we are about to embark on a new journey of cloth diapering. I have also crochet 10 hats and I am currently trying to sell those to help pay off our debt.

We are currently remodeling the entire basement so all of the furniture is currently upstairs and in the way. Also have plans to paint most every room on the main floor. I am sure it will look wonderful. Hopefully I will have pictures to post soon.
