"Birthday Blessings Bash" AMP One Size Duo diaper review and #GIVEAWAY {Sweet Cheeks Mommy and Baby Boutique}

Sweet Cheeks Mommy & Baby Boutique is a brick and mortar store that is located in Wichita Kansas! I came across Sweet Cheeks when I was searching online for AMP diapers. As it turns out, Sweet Cheeks is a new AMP diaper US retailer!
I contacted Sweet Cheeks about sponsoring this event, and Julie graciously sent me a one size AMP diaper in Yellow Ooga Booga print and a 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton insert for review. This is what I received:

What I really love about the AMP One Size Duo diaper is that it can be used two different ways. It can be used as an AI2 (as seen here):

Or as a pocket diaper:

Here is a bit more information on this fabulous diaper (taken from the AMP website):
"The new AMP one size Duo pocket diaper (patent pending) is a revolutionary new diaper that combines both the benefits of the AI2 diaper and the pocket diaper all in a one size. The intelligent snap placement allows this diaper to have three different rise options and multiple tummy and thigh settings for a custom fit from birth to potty training (7-38lbs). The outer waterproof layer is a soft durable laminated PUL and the inside is a dreamy soft layer of micro fleece that is designed to wick wetness away and keep baby dry and comfortable. The envelope opening is large enough for easy stuffing and is placed at the front of the diaper to make removing the insert easy and mess free.

To use snap the rise adjusting snaps to the appropriate setting and place insert inside the diaper. Place the diaper under baby and fasten the tummy and thigh snaps at a snug but comfortable position.

To use this diaper as an All in two diaper, place the insert on top of the fleece making sure that the absorbent insert is between the elastic gathers instead of placing the insert inside of the envelope opening. If the diaper is still dry replace the absorbent insert with a dry one and re-use the diaper."
AMP has a terrific instructional video featuring Annie herself (creator of AMP diapers) demonstrating the AMP One Size Duo diaper, which you can watch here!

These diapers come in an array of colors and some very adorable prints, you can see them here!
This diaper is AWESOME! It is one of my favorite diapers in my stash right now! I love that it is designed to fit babies from 7-38 lbs and that it's a pocket diaper with the ability to be used as an AI2! This is a very versatile diaper and it is made very well. This diaper has stood up to the rough play of both my boys and I have not had one single leak or blow out (lovin' the hemp insert)! I've even used this diaper (as a pocket) on my son at night and he woke up dry! The fleece lining is so soft and keeps your baby feeling dry!
This is the diaper on my 2 yo son:

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:

This diaper is very soft (it's a minky fabric) and very affordable. The diaper I was sent only costs $13.00 and shipping within the US is free!! *does not apply to detergent orders*

"Birthday Blessings Bash" Grovia AI2 review and #GIVEAWAY {All Things Diapers} US and Canada

All Things Diapers is a brick and mortar store, as well as an online retailer located in MN. They run a cloth diapering service as well as offer many cloth-diapering related items for sale!
All Things Diapers graciously sent me a Grovia AI2 hybrid shell in "cloud" and an organic cotton soaker pad for review. This is what I received:

The other side of the soaker pad has two snaps:

So you can simply snap the soaker pad right into the shell:

As you can see from the picture above, the inside of the shell is made of a mesh-type fabric.
Here is some more information about the Grovia AI2 (taken from All Things Diapers' website):
"How does GroVia work?
GroVia is designed so that the outer shells may be used for multiple diaper changes. If the soaker pad is wet, simply snap in a fresh one and you are ready to go. If the shell is wet, allow it to air dry and use for the next diaper change. When your GroVia Shell is soiled or very saturated, start fresh with a new GroVia Shell.

Most GroVia System users will find that using 2-4 GroVia Shells are enough per day, although newborn babies may need more.

How does the one-size feature on my GroVia work?
GroVia will fit MOST babies from 8-35 lbs. The GroVia Shell features three sets of rise snaps that adjust to fit your baby. Our unique one-size Organic Soaker Pad fits from 8-35 lbs as well.

1.Newborn/Small Infant Setting: Snap your GroVia Shell rise snaps on the lowest setting. Snap your soaker pad into the shell and simply flip the front of the soaker pad in towards baby. Fastened diaper on baby.

2.Infant Setting: Snap your GroVia Shell rise snaps on the middle setting. Snap your soaker pad into the shell. Tuck the front of your soaker pad down, while pulling the front panel up and fasten on baby.

3.Toddler Setting: Leave your GroVia Shell rise snaps unsnapped. Snap your soaker pad into the shell and fasten on baby."

I really like this diaper. It is different than anything I had tried before, but I really like the ease of snapping in the soaker pad to the shell and simply unsnapping the soaker pad for changes. You can use the same shell over again as long as it is not soiled.

This diaper fit my 2 yo very well:

We did not experience any red marks, leaks or any other issues with this diaper.

This diaper can also be used with a Grovia stay dry soaker pad which are made with a TPU outer, four layers of hemp/cotton blend topped with cozy micro fleece, and ultra soft leg gussets.
The Grovia AI2 shell can be purchased from All Things Diapers for $16.95. You can also purchase an organic cotton soaker pad 2-pack for $17.95! All Things Diapers offers free shipping to fellow Minnesota residents and free shipping elsewhere in the US on orders over $49.00!

As a sponsor of the "Birthday Blessings Bash" event, All Things Diapers has generously offered one LWML follower a Grovia AI2 in choice of color/print and closure with one soaker pad!

"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).

GroVia® AIO Side Snap Tutorial

Tip
The stretch side panels and cotton inner make this an ideal first trainer!!
•Diaper Inner: 80% Organic Cotton Soaker Pad with Cotton Lining
•Diaper Outer: Water Resistant TPU
•Made fairly & conscientiously in China

What will I need to purchase if I use this system full-time?

4-8 GroVia Shells and about 24 GroVia Soaker Pads or other absorbent cloth diaper or insert.

Estimated cost* of this system from birth to potty training:
$318* for 6 shells and 24 pads. *(Consider that the cost of disposables is $1000-$2500 more, and that most cloth diaper systems can be re-used on a second child!)

What will I need to purchase if I use this system full-time?

18-24 GroVia AIOs if you start cloth diapering at 10lbs. The GroVia Hybrid system (Shell+Soaker Pad) is more like a one-size diaper starting at 8lbs. We can special order GroVia Newborn AIOs and can quote you a great price for 12 or more. Email babybellebottoms@yahoo.com or call us.

Estimated cost* of this system from birth to potty training:
$504* for 24. You will probably need to purchase newborn size cloth or disposable diapers to use for the first month or 2, which will cost $200 more or less. *(Consider that the cost of disposables is $1000-$2500 more, and that most cloth diaper systems can be re-used on a second child!)

GroVia Washing Instructions:

Diaper Preparation
(This is an important step…don’t skip it!!)
Wash warm with detergent and tumble dry, repeating this process 5–6 times before use (they will continue to gain absorbency with more washing).

Washing
•Remove as much solid matter as possible.
•Place soiled diaper in a dry diaper pail – no soaking necessary.
•Wash every 2 days on warm with detergent.
•Tumble dry.
•Do NOT use bleach, enzyme cleaners or fabric softeners.


This is a one size diaper and it is intended to fit a baby from 10-35 lbs (so it won't fit a teeny tiny newborn, unless you have a 10 pounder)!

This diaper has one soaker pad that is sewn in to the backside of the diaper. It also comes with an additional, removable soaker pad so you can customize the absorbency of the diaper:

I really like this feature. Because if you are using this diaper on a tiny 10 lb baby, chances are you won't need the additional soaker, but when that baby gets a bit older and becomes more of a heavy wetter, you can add the additional soaker to customize it perfectly. You can also fold the soaker to the front (for a boy) where extra protection is needed!
Here is the smallest size setting on this diaper:

And absolutely largest setting:

This diaper fits my 2 yo/27 lb son perfectly!

Overall this is a great diaper.
I love that its a one size, and that you can customize the absorbency (kinda like a pocket diaper). Since this diaper is an all in one, it takes a bit longer to dry.
You can purchase this diaper from Baby Belle Bottoms for $22.95!
Not sure you want the GroVia os AIO? Don't worry! Baby Belle Bottoms has you covered!
