Charlie Banana Cloth Diaper Review and Giveaway

Charlie Banana Review

Thanks to Charlie Banana for providing us with the products to use to facilitate this review*

Another great cloth diaper giveaway brought to you by my friend Sarah. She is such a good mom and so lucky that she gets to use cloth diapers. I guess I should say her kids are so lucky that they are dressed in cloth each and every day! Cloth diapers are great for the environment and for the wallet. Read her review and feel free to enter her giveaway!

When our youngest was born and I decided I wanted to use Cloth Diapers, I was overwhelmed by all of the companies out there! There were so many to choose from and I had no clue which direction I wanted to go. I remember the day I came across a company called Charlie Banana and that is really where my cloth diapering adventure began. They set the bar really high for my expectations in cloth diapers, which is why I have continued to go back to them time and time again for all of my cloth diapering needs.

Charlie Banana prides itself on providing top notch

products in the baby industry today, providing parents with high quality, affordable products and peace of mind that they are doing their part in helping the environment.

I am in love with Charlie Banana’s Fashion Collection. They have some of the cutest prints I have ever seen. We received the Prince William and The Kate prints and they are so adorable! Each One Size diaper comes with 2 inserts and can be used from newborn up to around 30 months old. (6-35 pounds) The Fashion Collection features the Charlie Banana modernized One Size Diapering System which is amazing technology we haven’t seen with many brands. The 2-in-1 reusable one size diapering system uses the same elastic material as the former One Size system but parents can now adjust the diaper with the no-slip, bra-strap design, making it possible to change the diaper from small to large in one step. The straps are tucked in the interior fleece so no part of the elastic or adjustment system touches the baby’s skin.

If you are looking for a great

cloth diapering experience, definitely visit charliebanana.com! They not only carry cloth diapers but they also have great accessories like wet bags, detergent and even eco-friendly female sanitary products. You will NOT be disappointed with the quality of products you receive from Charlie Banana!

One lucky reader is going to win their own One Size cloth diaper from Charlie Banana!

Smart Bottoms Cloth Diapers Giveaway US

June 19, 2013 by Dina Leave a Comment

Smart Bottoms Cloth Diapers

I love cloth diapers and the way babies look wearing them. They have changed so much. They are so cute and stylish now. I miss seeing my babies in cloth. Being that my youngest is 7 I have to wait for grandbabies to see them in cloth! Oh I how I love it though!

Smart Bottoms provided me with the product used to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own*

It’s no secret that I have quite the obsession with cloth diapers but it’s hard to find good, quality diapers anymore that are made right here in the U.S.A. so that is why I was so excited to find Smart Bottoms! Smart Bottoms was started by a fellow mother, Christy Malone, who is also passionate about cloth diapering. Smart Bottoms offers an organic cloth diapering system that is 100% made in the United States.

We received a Smart One 3.0 cloth diaper from Smart Bottoms in the adorable Grape Soda color. This diaper is made of 100% Organic Cotton and provides a much trimmer diaper than some other brands I have used. The attached insert can be folded to customize where your child needs the most absorbency which provides a total of 10 layers. This is really important to me because every child wets differently, especially when you look at boys vs. girls. The design allows for quick dry-time and I love that there are actually four settings so you can customize the fit for your child between 8-35 pounds. They also carry waist extenders so you can prolong the life of your Smart Bottom diapers! Another huge plus is the wider elastic around the legs. I hate diapers that leave red marks and imprints and we don’t have this problem with Smart Bottoms. As an added bonus, only 100% certified organic cotton is used for the inside of their diapers. This means that your baby’s bottom is not being exposed to harmful pesticide residue or petroleum based fabrics. This is super important to me. I have seen babies who have the most horrendous diaper rash all of the time and this is a great way to eliminate that. We have had zero issues with this diaper and as a matter of fact, it’s probably one of the best cloth diapers we have seen. It fits perfectly, it’s not bulky so we don’t have to get bigger clothes to fit over it and we have had no leaks at all, not even at naptime. The fact that it is adorable is just the icing on the cake for me. We love using this diaper under dresses, it’s just too cute!

Christy mentions on the website how so many families are missing out on cloth diapering because many parents today who were cloth diapered as babies were diapered with old fashioned pre-folds, pins and rubber pants. I tend to agree. Whenever I mention cloth diapers to people who haven’t been introduced to today’s cloth diapers, most of them turn their nose up at me because they just don’t know what’s on the market today! Those days are gone, thanks to awesome companies like Smart Bottoms who have designed innovative cloth diapers that are easy to use

, easy to clean but still affordable. Check out their website at SmartBottoms.Com to see all of their great products!
