"Birthday Blessings Bash" Soft Bums Omni in SNAPS #CLOTHDIAPERS Review and #GIVEAWAY {US only}

Those of you that have been around here for awhile know that I am a snap-happy kinda girl. That is to say I prefer #clothdiapers with snaps, as opposed to Velcro/Hook and Loop. It is so annoying to me to wash a load of diapers only to find that the Velcro from some diapers have come undone from the 'laundry tab' and have attached themselves to all the other lovely fluffy diapers in the wash. Oh, and then there is the joy of trying to pull all the lint and hair (and whatever else gets stuck in the Velcro) out so your diaper will adhere properly!! Sorry (to those of you that love your Velcro...)!
I reviewed a SoftBums Omni awhile ago (in Velcro closure). You can read that review here.
Recently, when I saw that SoftBums was going to produce their diapers in snaps... I was beside myself.
I contacted SoftBums for a review and they graciously sent me a Chocolate SoftBums Omni with SNAP closure and an organic bamboo pod!! This is what I received:
Oh, I forgot to mention the cute little SoftBums keychain too <3
Here is a bit more information about the SoftBums Omni Diaper (taken from Soft Bums Website):
"SoftBums Omni Features:
•SoftBums Patent Pending Slide²Size is the ONLY variable adjustment of its kind
•Fits all legs widths from 4" - 14" for NO red marks EVER. Made in the USA!
•Choose your own Pods for a customized diapering system!
•SoftBums Omni is larger than an Echo to more easily cover prefolds, flats and fitteds!
•Huge pocket opening is easy to stuff and un-stuff
•No Leaks, Thanks to Slide²Size Technology!
•SoftBums Omni protects against rash; up to 80% less rash than disposables!
•Industrial strength velcro closures are long lasting and won't "wear out" like other velcro
•Reusable Omni shell saves money, space, and resources"

I personally love the fact that this one diaper can be used 3 different ways (us women like to have options right)?
All-in-2 at home, pocket at daycare, prefold cover at night... Omni is the only one you need!
There are 3 great ways to use your Omni!
Snap
Stuff
Cover

This diaper is truly diverse! It has slide2size sizing. Simply reach into the opening at the front of the diaper and slide the toggle inside to get the perfect fit, every time!


Check out the size of the organic bamboo pod:
You simply snap the pod in place and fold it to fit inside the diaper:
I really LOVE this diaper. I love that it's made in the USA, it's a one size, and that it has snaps. I also love that it can be used 3 different ways! The organic bamboo pod is a plus too. It's super absorbent and not too bulky!
If you have not tried this diaper, you really should! It is a great diaper to have in your stash!

SoftBums Omni Review AND GIVEAWAY *with a twist*




One of the joys of Cloth diapering (besides saving loads of money, helping the planet, and seeing your littles run around in obvious cuteness) is the chance to try out so many different kinds of diapers. There are so many kinds out there.... Name brands and household names, custom diapers from WAHM's, fitted diapers and wool (thats a post that will be coming soon so stay tuned)! I was recently given the opportunity to try a SoftBums Omni! I received the "Snowcone" Omni: The SoftBums Omni is a One size diaper that can accomodate a child from 6-35 lbs! Can you see from the picture what makes this diaper different than any other (I have tried)? This diaper was designed to be one diaper that can be used 3 different ways! It can be used like an AI2 (simply snap in the super soft pod): A pocket: Or you can cover the diaper with a flat or prefold: So many options...don't we all love options?? If you would like to watch a video presentation about the different ways this awesome diaper can be used, simply check out this fabulous video on YouTube!

*taken from the SoftBums website: SoftBums Omni Features:

•SoftBums Patent Pending Slide²Size is the ONLY variable adjustment of its kind

•Fits all legs widths from 4" - 14" for NO red marks EVER. Made in the USA!

•Choose your own Pods for a customized diapering system!

•SoftBums Omni is larger than an Echo to more easily cover prefolds, flats and fitteds!

•SoftBums Omni protects against rash; up to 80% less rash than disposables!

•Industrial strength velcro closures are long lasting and won't "wear out" like other velcro

•Reusable Omni shell saves money, space, and resources

This is the Soft Bums Omni at the smallest setting (makes me want another baby... can't you just picture a tiny little baby in that diaper)?


I have used this diaper all 3 ways on both my boys! My oldest Aaron is 3 and is 33+ lbs. He is a heavy wetter and I found this diaper to be great, no leaks (though it did have a bit of extra stuffing to prevent that)! *sorry, didn't get any pics of him in this great diaper**

This diaper fit my Joshua (who is 14 months and just 20 lbs) really great too!

I did not experience any leaks with either child! I think my favorite way to use this diaper is with the pod snapped in place. The pod is so super soft and I can imagine how comfortable it must be against my little's skin! Another really great feature about this diaper is the Slide to Size technology as seen here:


*please note this picture above depicts the "Echo" diaper, but the sizing concept is the same!

You can see the small opening in the front of the diaper where you can adjust the toggle for the perfect fit!






Another thing I have to add about this diaper... many of you know that I really am not a fan of Velcro/hook and loop, but I would have to say that my love for snaps did not make me love this diaper any less (surprisingly)! I always reach for my diapers with snaps out of habit, but since receiving this diaper, I find myself searching for it to put it on my boys (especially during nap-time)!
Buy it! You can purchase a Softbums Omni solo pack for $22.95! There are some great colors, and a really cute kitty print for those of you with little girls, and also a giraffe print!!
Or you can win it here! Sarah (owner of SoftBums) has generously offered to give one LWML follower a Sprout Omni Bamboo solo pack! But thats not all... she is also offering a bag of Rockin Green soap in Mighty Marshmellow scent, classic rock formula! So there will be 2 winners for this giveaway! 1 winner for the Sprout Omni, and the other for the Rockin Green soap!

Who's excited??
