The Morning AFTER the Fitted Trial!

2011-01-09T20:53:00.000-06:00

A copy and past from the main blog post.

My little super soaker went into his Duo Fab Fitted and Flip diaper cover at 8:50 pm.. I checked him around 2:30 am and he was still dry to the touch.. BUT when we woke up at 7:00 we and I mean WE were not so dry! So, I'm going to say I'M VERY IMPRESSED with the absorbency of the sewn in soaker.... This will be one diaper I will suggest to customer to take on long trips for sure. Let me mention one more time, that we did NOT add any extra absorbency to the Duo Fab Fitted at all!

So now both diapers are in the diaper pail waiting to be washed and used again! I must say that I'm loving the Duo Fab Fitted diaper by Thirsties!! I will update this post the more we use the diapers! We will put extra absorbency in on our next time time testing......

Pocket diaper loving mama!

I'm going to cheat a little bit and copy and past a review that I am working on! I thought you might find it a little interesting what a diaper goes through when I put it through a testing phase!

I guess after so many years I should tell what my favorite style of diaper is: POCKETS. I started out with prefolds and covers that I purchased from Jardine's Diapers back in 2003! Then the rest it is history! LOL

AS OF TODAY....I am "officially" trending away from the pocket diaper. The new Duo Fab Fitteds by Thirsties have peaked my interest. I have actual pulled 2 from the order that arrived today, and they are in the dryer right now. I'm giving them the "Monster Review" I like the fact that they are ranged up to 40 lb pounds. They are soft, they are a duo, they are a fitted with a microfiber insert that is stuffable if needed. It's been awhile since we have stocked a diaper that I just had to try. Then it was amazing to me that it was a fitted diaper! Let me save myself here. When I bring new products in I usually find a tester, give them a list of questions to fill out about the diaper, but this time I just had to do it for myself!!

What we are testing at the Monster Review:

1. Duo Fab Fitted Size 2 Meadow Aplix Closures
1. Duo Fab Fitted Size 2 Ocean Blue Snaps

After the store closed I brought them home, tossed them in the washer with the rest of the diapers. Washed with Rockin' Green and now they are in the dryer! My wash routine is: cold rinse, hot wash, cold rinse, then to the dryer on med/low. They came out of the washer just super soft and the colors are wonderful!! It's really kind of funny because I was showing them to my husband and the first thing he said was "look we can put another insert in here if needed" I was in love with the man all over again! He noticed it was a different kind of diaper! I told him that he would have to use a cover with this diaper and he just looked at me. he said " a cover". I had to giggle. He too likes pocket diapers. After the diapers are dried and washed I put the inserts back in them, and then when he changes a diaper all he has to do is, put it on! With this, he will have to work, just a little!

I told him he could try one on Andrew and I wanted to put the other one on so I could to the fit check and all that fun stuff.

So stay tuned to this post as we go through our review process. I will post pictures when I can. My hope is that this will end out night time leaks!!

Feel free to leave a post telling me what your favorite fitted diaper is, or your favorite diaper cover! I will make sure you can tell when I add more information to this posting!

1/8/11

Well, I woke up with every intention of putting one of the Fitteds on Andrew today, but he decided to wear his big boy pants, and then I had to go up to the shop, so we will be putting one of the fitteds through the test tonight. After he has his bath I will take some pictures of the fitted on him, and then some with the fitted and the cover. Andrew is weighing in at 35.5 lb at age 2. He will be 3 in April. I will not add any extra absorbency in the diaper tonight and we will see how long it last. Andrew is the president of the SUPER SOAKER club. I swear that child puts out twice as much as he puts in! So for now we have to wait for bath time for pictures of the diaper on.. STAY TUNED.....

Blogger and I are NOT getting along tonight. Food for thought SAVE OFTEN OR REDO EVERYTHING! yes, I'm in the redoing stage right now!

This picture to the left is of the Duo Fab Fitted Size 2. Remember my monster is weighing in at 35.5 lb, and this diaper fits up to 40 lb. As you can tell by the tabs, he still has room to grow in this diaper! I also liked how it fits just right on/under his belly. This diaper was super easy to put on, and I know I keep talking about how soft the diaper is... but it is soft!

The picture to the right is just the back of the diaper. He was trying to walk away as I took the picture. As you can see the diaper is very trim and fits well. The way that the sewn in microfiber soaker is, I was curious to see if he would a fluffy backside. To my surprise NO!

Here you see the Duo Fab Fitted Diaper under a Flip Diaper Cover.. As you can see my monster is on the last few settings of the Flip, but it worked well for this experiment! I'm still liking how trim the two together are! I have always found fitted diapers to be bulky.. NOT ANY MORE!

NO FLUFF BOTTOM!!

This picture here just seals the deal for me! LOOK no poofy or fluffy bottom! That's right it's just a nice comfortable fitting diaper. I have to say this combination is more trim than most of the pocket diaper we have. This is how we have to stuff the diapers for Andrew.

1. microfiber insert
2. hemp insert
3 prefold

poor little guy walks a little funny in his night time diapers. That combination that I just explained only makes it about 1/2 a night. The only diaper that we have found so far that will almost or will make it all night is the Lollidoo diapers. So you see why are excited about finding another night time solution for Andrew! So he went into the test diaper with NO extra absorbency at 8:50 pm. SO we shall see if the diaper makes it all night, or will have to be changed. I'm still super exctied about the Duo Fab Fitted by Thirsties. If this works well, we will be saying goodbye to some pocket diaper from his stash!!

SO once again, stick with me and check back tomorrow late morning to see how the night time testing processes went!

Mama Cloth

2010-09-05T19:42:00.001-05:00

We are taking the time and looking over the web site once again. We see that we need to be working on our menstrual items, or Mama Cloth Section. Tonight we have added the Swaddlebees or Pink Daisy collection. Swaddlebees is the makers of Pink Daisy.

You can find these pads in either the Organic Cotton Cloth Mama Pad or the Stay Dry Cloth Mama Pad.

The Organic Cotton Pads are made from the same Organic Cotton that comes inside your favorite Blueberry or Swaddlebees Cloth Diaper.

Organic Cotton Menstrual Pads. An outer layer of waterproof fabric provides leak proof protection, 2 contoured inner layers of soft and absorbent microfiber terry absorbs wetness, and an inner layer of un-dyed organic cotton velour next to your skin has an un-matched softness and hypo-allergenic properties. Wings snap around your underwear to keep pads in place.

The Stay Dry Pink Daisy Mama Pads A stay-dry pad that does just that--keeps you feeling dry. Power-dry lined pads keeps you feeling dry. Hidden inner microfiber terry layers provides maximum absorbency. Breathable laminated polyester backing prevents leakage. Powerdry fabric is certified by Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which is a European ecological certification process that tests fabrics for over 100 harmful substances.

I have personally used both of these pads and liked them both very well. I like the length of the large, and I have used the large as a postpartum pad with no problems. If I had to choose I would go for the organic cotton, just because it is SO COMFORTABLE up against your body!!! I also didn't have a problem with staining.

Small pads for light days measure 8" long x 3" wide.

Medium pads for regular/heavy days measure 10.5" long x 3.5" wide.

Large pads for overnight and heavy flow measure 13" long x 3.5" wide.

And as you can see they come in a wide range of colors and prints for you too choose from.. As you probably know I went for all the prints!!!

Why not add a little brightness and fun to the not so fun time in life!!!
