Another New Diaper!

I finally have it in my possession! The diaper that pushed me over the edge and into the world of cloth diapering!

It's a Sweet Pea pocket diaper, in the new Argyle print! I bought it from Tiny Tree Huggers, an (almost) local cloth diaper/natural parenting store. I love love love it :)  Not only do I love the awesome print, but I also really love Sweet Pea diapers. They fit my little guy great, and so far we've never had any issues with leaks. I trust these diapers during nap times and when we're out and about. I'm so happy it's finally found its place in my collection!

Diaper Mail!

I'm so behind on posting about my newest fluff! I've gotten three in the last couple days!

These super sweet dipes were waiting for me at the border, which my sister in law and brother in law so kindly picked up for me! My passport is actually expired, so these beauties would have been waiting for me for a while!

On the left we have a Happy Heinys one-size in a glow in the dark Skulls print. I'm pretty sure they don't make that print anymore, and it was pretty hard to find. I ordered it online from Diapers Etc, in the US, and then of course stumbled upon it on a Canadian website after the fact. Oh well! I was hoping I'd be as happy with the OS as I am with the sized diapers. So far it has not disappointed! Unfortunately I will probably not be using this diaper in my regular rotation, only because I want to keep it in as good condition as possible. We'll still use it, but not every day.

On the right we have a Rumparooz OS in the Preppy print. Another one that I had trouble finding in Canada, although it's a new print. I ordered it from The Green Nursery. I will likely not be using it too frequently either. We used this diaper during nap time today and I was very impressed! No leaks! The diaper comes with an insert and an extra soaker that snaps onto the insert. The soaker snaps on the insert in two different places, depending on whether you have a boy or girl which affects where you need the extra absorbancy. The diaper is quite bulky with the insert and soaker, but you can't complain about no leaking! And I  absolutely LOVE the colours in this diaper! They are very bright and vivid. There was more pink than I was expecting, but it's not overwhelming so this diaper remains gender neutral. I also love the multi-coloured snaps. This is easily one of my favourites, if not my very favourite, diaper print so far.

Below we have another Happy Heinys OS, in the Turquoise Ooga Booga print. Also another print that I don't think they're producing anymore. I did manage to find this one in Canada before I went and ordered it from the US. I would have preferred snaps, but they only had the velcro closure. I actually find velcro much easier to use, but it gets pilly and doesn't look very pretty after a while.

So now I'm just waiting for three more diapers...One that I will hopefully get my grubby little paws on tomorrow, and the other two that should arrive in the next few weeks. I'm pretty much banned from purchasing any more until the new year now...I hope I can resist!

Diaper Mail!

Yes, more diaper mail...This will stop soon, I promise! I just got really excited and ordered a lot in a short span of time, but that's coming to an end as Christmas is fast approaching and money needs to be spent on presents! I admit, there are 5 more diapers that will make their way into this house in the next few weeks, but then it's done until the new year. (Unless I get diapers for Christmas, which I'm really hoping I do!)

Anyway, these two Glow Bug diapers actually came yesterday, bought pre-owned off of a private seller:

On the left we have a skull print, on the right it's rockets! How cute!?

I have one other Glow Bug diaper, that was also pre-owned. I wasn't too impressed the first time I used it, because it leaked. But I think I have it figured out now, and was able to adjust the fit so that leaks don't happen anymore. I have enough faith in this diaper that I felt okay adding two more to my stash, and really who could resist those prints? Glow Bug comes out with super cute prints, but I think the problem with them is that when you buy them new you have to buy them as a whole set instead of individually.

Glow Bugs aren't my go-tos if I know nap time is around the corner, but otherwise I like them! I washed these last night so they're ready to go today. Can't wait!

Diaper Mail!

More diaper mail today!

These came in from For the Monster today:

 I think they might be going out of business, because pretty much everything seems to be on sale on their website and the selection is limited. This was a good deal though, because I paid used prices for these brand new diapers.

On the left we've got three medium Happy Heinys with velcro closures (Red, Navy & Lime green). Generally I dislike the look of velcro closure, and these sized Happy Heinys are no exception. I really really dislike the looks of these diapers. But, I bought one used through a local buy & sell a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with how easy it is to use. I ordered these with the intention that they'll be packed in the diaper bag when we go out, or if someone is babysitting. They're also daddy-friendly, so next time my husband says he doesn't know how to work the cloth diapers I'll point him in the direction of these Happy Heinys, because they are almost identical to disposables.

The diapers on the right are Sweet Pea OS (one size) in Apple Green and Indigo Blue. I have one other Sweet Pea in my stash, in the Penguin print. I really like the fit of these diapers, and I didn't want to keep using the Penguin print as often as I have been (trying to keep my prints in very good condition!), so I was happy to find these for just under $10 each! Plus they come with inserts, which is good.

I kind of wish now that I had gotten three Sweet Peas and two Happy Heinys instead though. I love the Happy Heinys for their ease of use, but since these are the sized style they'll probably only fit him for the next few months. Also, they don't come with inserts which is sucky.


 Next, these came in from Cozy Bums:

The Maple Leaf print is a Charlie Banana One Size. I've been dying for that print, but haven't seen it in stock anywhere until now. I'm a little concerned because the design is printed onto the diaper fabric and I'm scared of it peeling...So unfortunately it looks like this diaper will end up being only very gently used.

The orange and blue diaper is another Best Bottoms diaper cover. It's called Orange Sherbet. I love that they name the diaper colours after ice cream flavours! I've given my other Best Bottoms diaper a whirl a few times and I love it. I'm so excited to have another cover to choose from, plus I ordered two extra inserts with it. They recommend three inserts per diaper, but I've been spending too much lately so I only ordered the two. I only use these as going out diapers anyway, and usually only need to change the insert once in the time that we're gone, so it will all work out fine. I plan on stocking up on more covers and inserts in the future though.

I just want to add that I love the Cozy Bums online store. They have a good selection, and friendly customer service. Plus I love supporting Canadian retailers. I know I do hunt out good deals from US retailers, but I also support local/Canadian when I can! (And hey, I don't feel too guilty from buying from the US- I love our neighbours to the South!)

Diaper Mail!

These came today!!!

Bumkins One Size Stuff-Its

I ordered these from Nicki's Diapers. I couldn't resist the prints, and they were on sale. For less than $10 each, I figured I have nothing to lose. I'm not sure about the quality...These are the same diapers, but I can see an obvious difference in their size/cut. I guess we'll find out how good they are when he wears them tomorrow!

 This came too!

AMP One Size Pocket Duo in Ooga Booga

I bought this one used, and I'm pretty excited because they don't produce this print anymore. Also, it's a good quality diaper made by a company started by a mom in my very own city! Although this was sent to me from someone in another province, it was made in Winnipeg :)  I have one other AMP diaper and it's definitely one of my favourites. They fit so well, are very trim for a cloth diaper, and we haven't had any leaks or issues at all.

Yay, can't wait to do diaper laundry tonight so that these bad boys are ready for tomorrow!
