cloth diapers - So Easy Being Green

Answers to Your Cloth Diaper Questions

Last week, I decided to update and re-vamp the Cloth Diapers information on the blog. I still get lots of hits, pins, and questions about using cloth diapers every day! I put a lot of time into organizing all of my information and knowledge on the subject so it definitely needed a little sprucing! You can find all this information easily accessible in the pink menu bar above this post, under the heading Cloth Diapers. You'll find: Why Choose Cloth SEBG Directory of Cloth Diaper Reviews If you're looking for a review on a cloth diaper, chances are, it can be found here.

Cloth Diaper Stash Favorites: Bummis Tots Bots Easy Fit

We all have favorites in our stash. I admit that my favorite cloth diaper changes from month to month. I have always been open to buying and selling cloth diapers pretty regularly to get more of what my favorites are. The problem is, I've often sold diapers that weren't my favorite at the time, only to come back around and use them more. This has never happened with the diaper I'm sharing with you today. Once I tried the Bummis Tots Bots Easy Fit diaper the first time, it's been a constant favorite and always in my Sophia's Moreaya's stash rotation. I was recently sent one of the newest prints from Bummis Tots Bots from Bouncing Babies Cloth Diaper store {free for review}. This adorable Three Little Pigs print is one of four Nursery Rhyme … [Read more...]

3 Easy Tips to Make Your Aplix Cloth Diapers Last Longer

A couple of weeks ago, we looked at some pros and cons and battled it out over... Aplix vs. Snaps. And I'm betting if you're a Snaps Snob {I kid, I kid} it's more than likely because you think aplix cloth diapers don't last as long as diapers with snaps, and... you're probably right. BUT there are things you can do to help extend the life of your cloth diapers with aplix {velcro!} closure! 1. Keep your Aplix Cloth Diapers Lint-Free. My tabs don't get stuck with a lot of lint because I line dry {more on that in a bit}, but if your tabs are full of lint, they're probably not gripping so well! You can easily clean them out with a Snappi, a Seam Ripper {my new best friend when I'm sewing}, or even a comb. 2. Use your Laundry Tabs - They're there for a reason! I … [Read more...]

The Cloth Diaper Debate: Aplix vs. Snaps

When you first start contemplating cloth diapers, it's bound to come up pretty soon in the conversation - Aplix or Snaps? The thing is - cloth diaper users can be quite strong on their stance too - especially those Snap Snobs. ;) Aplix is simply the term for the "velcro" on a diaper - don't get confused. Velcro is simply a copyrighted name so manufacturers can't use it. It's also important to realize that almost every cloth diaper maker uses different types of snaps and a different type of aplix. Just because you like Tots Bots aplix, doesn't mean you will automatically be a fan of GroVia's. Same goes for snaps. Now that Moreaya is 14 months, I feel like I can get a great fit with both type of closures. For the Newborn cloth diapers, I definitely prefer … [Read more...]

Kiwi Pie – the new line from GroVia including Fitted Cloth Diapers

For cloth diapering Moms {and maybe Dads}, it's always exciting when a company comes out with a new product, especially when it's a company that you already love. This is what happened when GroVia announced their new line - Kiwi Pie. Within the Kiwi Pie line is a Pull-on Wool Cover, Lanolin Spray, Wool Wash Bar, and a one size Fitted Cloth Diaper. One size fitteds are getting a bit more common, but it's still a bit of a novelty. Fitteds can be more on the expensive side so to have a one size option is a great thing. It's true! If you love fitted cloth diapers, I will be willing to bet that you will love the Kiwi Pie Fitted from GroVia! I was sent the Ellie print from Tami at Kissed By the Moon. I wasn't sure of which print I would get, but honestly after seeing all of them, I … [Read more...]

Washing Cloth Diapers with Tide. My Cloth Diaper Wash Routine.

Overwhelmed by the number of articles how washing cloth diapers? Do you think there has to be a simpler way to wash cloth diapers than to have 3 different kinds of laundry detergent, dryer sheets for some, dryer balls for others way to wash cloth diapers? There is. Let me let you in on a little secret... Yep. They really do. I've been using Tide on all of our laundry for almost a year now, including cloth diapers, and I've only stripped one time. Once. Because I wanted to. For the first year that I used cloth diapers, I made my own Cloth Diaper Detergent. I struggled with stink issues, but the detergent worked. I just had to strip the diapers every month or so to really get the funky smell out - nice, huh? The thing is - other detergents do work. I've had … [Read more...]

Hybrid Fitted Cloth Diaper from Cucculuccia – #FluffyXmas Sponsor

Cucculuccia is run by a WAHM in middle Tennessee. She is a sponsor in my Merry Fluffy Christmas package and today I'm sharing my review of a Hybrid Fitted from her shop! First, let me share a little about Jessi and her shop. If you're like me - you might wonder where her shop name came from! What is Cucculuccia? It is an Italian term of endearment meaning "my sweet little cuddly one", and it is my bella bambina that has finally motivated me to to dive headfirst into this journey of growth and learning. I was introduced to Jessi through a blog reader, Beth {she's been around a LONG time now, right Beth!?} Anyways, I was more than happy to work with a WAHM who is semi-local - just a few hours west of me in Tennessee. When I saw the cloth diapers that she's began making on the … [Read more...]

Fluffy Friday: Little Comfort USA Bambee Bamboo OS Fitted Cloth Diaper

It's Fluffy Friday! I figured since I skipped last week, I better come back with something good, right? Little Comfort was a brand of cloth diapers that, until recently wasn't available in the US. Now, thanks to Green Team Enterprises Distribution - we get to enjoy them too, here in the USA! The fitted cloth diaper I'm sharing with you today has very quickly became the first fitted that I reach for at nighttime or as soon as it's clean. It works really well on Moreaya and has proven itself. I can use the 2 snap-in boosters that come with it and have no leaks {paired with a wool cover, of course} even at nighttime! The Little Comfort USA Bambee is a Fitted Diaper made with a bamboo material. This means that it did require extra prepping. {Heads up - I'll be talking all about … [Read more...]
