"Birthday Blessings Bash" Kissaluvs marvels one size fitted diaper review and $10 GC #GIVEAWAY and 10% off coupon code {Jack be Natural} US only!

Seems like I'm always browsing around cyber space when my boys are sleeping (and I'm not working on the blog or folding laundry) to find the best cloth diaper deals. I love shops that ship for free, and price match. I especially love shops that stand behind the products they sell. Of course, offering a rewards program is awesome as well. A few weeks ago I stumbled on Jack be Natural. This shop first caught my eye because they offer fast, and FREE shipping! The more I searched Jack be Natural the more I found I loved the site. Jack be Natural has an excellent rewards program. For every $15.00 you spend, you get $1.00 of Jack's Cash back. That's like getting 7% back on every $15.00 spent (and those of us know how easy it is to spend well over $15.00, especially if there is a sale going on)!
Not only will you find a wide variety of cloth diapers at Jack be Natural, but they also offer baby carriers, a whole section of natural remedies, vitamins and probiotics (which I LOVE)! They also offer items for mom, toys and the list goes on!

The more I read about the owners of Jack be Natural, the more in love with this company I became. Can you relate??

"A middle-class family of four with two great kids, aspiring entrepreneurs and obsessed with our children's health and well being. All parents care about their children's health and well being; however, in today's universe of children and baby products there are numerous hazards out there that the majority of the public, including us at one point, are simply not aware of.

For example, children's bottles made from plastics that release harmful chemicals, the potentially harmful raw materials that go into disposable diaper manufacturing and the list goes on and on.

Our family has always made a conscious effort to use natural and/or organic products but at the same time we have taken the time to learn the facts and make sure that we don't detach from reality on what is safe and what isn't. In many cases evidence currently available regarding the accuracy of claims made by various groups and organizations on why some of these products are harmful are not conclusive and have two sides to the story. Our stance? If the ease of use and economic impact is the same, minimal or better, then why take a chance?

Hence, we started exploring better alternatives for everyday products we purchased for ourselves as well as our children. Admittedly these products were available at a slight premium to the average national brands but we both agreed that this premium was a very small price to pay to ensure the well being and health of our children, not to mention our piece of mind!

Combining our passion for natural products with our entrepreneurial spirit resulted in the creation of Jack Be Natural. Our mantra is simple. Educate other parents like ourselves on the advantages of natural baby products while providing them at fair and affordable prices. At the same time we fulfill our dream of starting our own business.

Thank you for visiting Jack Be Natural and we look forward to helping and creating a positive experience for you through our service and product offerings.

From our family to yours!

Stacy & John"

I contacted Jack be Natural regarding sponsoring this event. They agreed and graciously sent me a Kissaluvs marvels one size fitted diaper in 'world' print! *I've been drooling over this diaper since we started using fitted diapers! This is what I received:

The first thing I noticed about this diaper (besides the beautifully colorful print) was the softness of the inside of the diaper... can you see it?

The inside is made of 82% rayon from bamboo and 18% polyester! It is sooooo soft!

Here is some more info on this diaper (taken from Kissaluvs website):
•One size; fits most babies from 10-40 lbs
•Elasticized legs and waist for a leak proof fit (with our proprietary, latex-free elastic)
•Simple, patent pending, snap-on design helps adjust rise easily to fit babies of different sizes (no multiple rows of snaps or snap down configurations)
•Three body layers and a micro fiber soaker provides absorbency even for the heaviest wetters
•Fabulous designer print 100% cotton outer and a yummy bamboo velour inner fabric
•Currently available in three gorgeous prints: Zoo-Blue, Mocca-Swirl and Two-Hoots

This diaper is AWESOME!! I did notice that it is a bit of a bigger diaper though (compared to my other hemp fitteds). The top of the diaper is designed to fold down in the front to fit smaller babies. This is how my 2 yo wears it, as when he wears it with the font not folded, it seems a bit frumpy on him (see pics below for comparison):

Since this diaper is a one-sized diaper and is made to fit babies 10-40 lbs, it will last a long time (though I do hope to have my 2 yo potty trained well before he hits 40 lbs) lol!

You can purchase this diaper directly from Jack be Natural for only $24.95
But wait, that's not all!

These snack bags are perfect for taking along on outings with my boys. I simply stuff some snacks (raisins, granola bars, grapes, you name it) into these bags and head out the door!

Sew is your Baby is an online shop that is choc-full of beautiful (and affordable) cloth diapers, baby legs, changing mats, wet bags, baby wipes, baby leggings, baby pants, cloth diaper safe detergent and so on!
You really need to check out this shop! I contacted Sew is Your Baby in hopes to receive sponsorship for this event! Michelle graciously sent me a royal blue one size pocket minky diaper for review. This is what I received:

The diaper came with one microfiber insert!

 The pocket opening is a nice size and I can easily fit my hands inside to put in the insert. The opening is quite stretchy:

I really like this diaper. It fits my 2 yo perfectly:

"Birthday Blessings Bash" Thirsties Duo Diaper in SNAPS review and #GIVEAWAY {US and Canada}

I love Thirsties! I've done a few reviews on Thirsties before here on the blog! You can read those reviews here, here and here! When I read that Thirsties recently came out with their Duo diaper in snaps... I really wanted to try one! Jessica from Thirsties was kind enough to sponsor this event and she sent me a size 2 "mud" colored duo diaper in snaps!
This is what I received:

Here are a few more details about this fabulous diaper (taken from Thirsties' website):
Thirsties Duo Diapers are easy to use and even easier on your wallet! The adjustable rise of this diaper design means one size will last twice as long. In fact, you'll only need two sizes to cover your baby from birth all the way to potty-learning. Period!

Similar in feel and fit as our best selling Duo Wrap, Thirsties Duo Diapers are completely waterproof yet remain breathable, pliable, and very comfortable for your baby's delicate skin. The ultra-soft microfleece liner on the inside protects baby's skin from wetness and also resists staining. Our handy sleeve design features openings on both sides of the diaper between the microfleece and waterproof layer. The duo openings featured in Thirsties Duo Diaper enable easy insert stuffing from either side of the diaper and also make for easy cleaning. There is no need to remove the soiled inserts when washing-your hands will remain clean! Simply toss your soiled Thirsties Duo Diaper in the laundry and the inserts will agitate free from the diaper in the washing machine.
Our Duo Inserts provide double the duty as well! Thirsties' specialty inserts feature two layers of serged microfiber terry snapped together with five serged layers of hemp jersey; seven thirsty layers in all! Microfiber terry is a fast absorber designed to rest closest to your baby's skin (beneath the microfleece sleeve); hemp is a stable absorber and pairs perfectly behind the microfiber terry to add more absorbency and to prevent compression leaking.

By the way...did you know that Thirsties' new hemp jersey is like no other on the market!?! We (finally) found a knitter right here in the USA to custom knit the hemp textile to our specifications. You will find this hemp is thicker, softer, and holds-up better than any other on the market.

Plus, Thirsties Duo Diapers are a cinch to use...even for the occasional caretaker. Simply stuff the insert in the sleeve of the diaper and wrap around your baby. The durable hook-and-loop closures of Thirsties Duo Diaper provide a perfect and secure fit at every diaper change. Thirsties' signature leg gussets provide advanced leak-proof protection and our bindings are super soft against your baby's skin. Both Duo sizes offer convenient fold-over laundry tabs to protect your hook-and-loop closures from trapping lint in the wash.
Each of the two sizes of Thirsties Duo Diaper feature three rows of snaps to adjust the rise to your baby's shape; it really is like having THREE sizes in one. Pairing such adjustability in rise with our signature leg gussets make this diaper the most versatile on the market. Whether your baby is tall or short, thin or chunky, this cover will keep those messes contained!

Let's face it...'one-size' options tend to be too big on the average newborn and too small for most toddlers over two years of age. What this means is that the 'one-size' option truly only fits your baby properly when he/she weighs between 10 lbs to 32 lbs. Alas, our findings confirm that the diaper label 'one-size' simply does not live up to its claim. Most families purchasing a 'one size' diaper would actually end up purchasing a newborn size, a 'one-size', and a toddler size: THREE sizes from birth to potty! Not ONE.

Therefore, in the end, Thirsties Duo Diapers are truly the more reliable and more affordable option when comparing to a 'one-size' system.

Duo Sizing Options:

In an effort to maximize affordability of cloth diapering Thirsties created our Duo line. This means all Duo products are available in 2 sizes which will cover your baby from birth to potty. Each of the two sizes in the Thirsties Duo line feature three rows of snaps to adjust the rise to your baby’s shape; it is like having THREE sizes in one."

These diapers are amazing!
Here are some pics I took so you could get the whole picture (pun intended):

This diaper is bullet-proof! I LOVE it!
You can see how well this diaper fits on my 2 yo son!

You can purchase this Duo Diaper for $18.50 (solids) or $19.50 (prints).

"Birthday Blessings Bash" Bumboo (and silk) fitted diaper review and $20 GC #GIVEAWAY {Earth Mom and Baby}

Earth, Mom and Baby is a Canadian company that specializes in natural products for babies! Here is a bit of information about Earth, Mom and Baby (taken from their website):
"At “Earth, mom and baby,” we strive to create products for the modern family: quality, affordable, eco-friendly items that moms need and babies love. All of our items were designed in-house, and tested on our own children."
They offer some really nice products for baby and mother too, such as nursing shirts, nursing dresses, Bumboo reuseable wipes, and the Bumboo fitted diaper.
Earth, Mom and Baby generously sent me a Bumboo fitted diaper for review. This is what I received:

At first I was a little bit intimidated by this diaper, I mean look at all those snaps!!

Then I saw this awesome video tutorial on the Bumboo diaper! 

And I took a picture of the instructions that came with it:

Here is a bit more information about the Bumboo diaper (taken from Earth, Mama and Baby website):

"The same great fabric and design that you’ve grown to love, now with larger, more colourful and easier-to-snap-snaps!

Unlike other bamboo diapers, Bumboos are made of 100% bamboo from viscose fibers woven onto a bed of real silk, NOT polyester. Each diaper comes with a FREE night time insert. It is the most luxuriously affordable item you can put on your baby’s bottom! Now patent pending. Save money with our 6 and 12 packs!

These diapers do require the use of a cover- but they are so trim fitting, any cover will do!"

This diaper is completley compostable and biodegradable! Wow!
This diaper fit my 2 yo great!

This diaper is not water-proofed and does need a cover. We tried it at night underneath a wool cover and experienced no problems with leaks or other issues. This diaper does need to be washed 10 times before maximum absorbency is reached!
You can purchase a size 2 Bumboo diaper directly from Earth, Mom and Baby for $21.99!

Fuzzi Bunz Elite Review and $10 GC #GIVEAWAY {Cloth Diapers Inc.} US and Canada

I love Cloth Diapers Inc. I have worked with them in the past on reviews for the blog! Cloth Diapers Inc. is a fabulous company to work with (and shop with), with wonderful, helpful staff and superb customer service. When I contacted them about sponsoring the Birthday Blessings Bash, Cloth Diapers Inc. generously sent me a new Fuzzi Bunz elite one size cloth diaper for review. This is what I recieved:

As with all FuzziBunz one size diapers, the diaper comes with two inserts (a large and a small) and a set of replacement elastics:

So what makes the Elite different from the original FuzziBunz one size?
There are a few differences!
First thing I noticed when I opened the diaper was the minky inserts. They are not like the old  microfiber inserts. The new minky inserts are very soft to the touch! The minky inserts also produce less odor and staining compared to microfiber! The minky inserts have the same amount of absorbency as the microfiber but also have an antimicrobial properties!
The Elite diapers are a bit smaller in size!
There is also a difference in the snaps! The elite still has the same row of 8 snaps on the top, but on the bottom row of snaps instead of 8 there are now only 6!

The elite are also made with 'quick dry fleece' so that your baby feels dryer longer! FuzziBunz claims that the new fleece is non-pilling!!
The other major difference with the Elite diaper is that the adjustable elastic has been changed. Yes, you can still easily adjust these diapers to fit your baby one sized! Now, the adjustable elastic for the legs is located underneath the fleece.

I love the super soft minky inserts and I love the new trimness of the Elite. It is a trim diaper! Here is how the diaper fit on my 2 yo:

You can purchase the new Fuzzi Bunz Elite one sized diapers directly from Cloth Diapers Inc. for $19.95! Oh, did I mention that Cloth Diapers Inc. offers free shipping within the US?? No minimum purchase required!
