Cloth Diapers vs. Disposable Diapers: The verdict, cloth IS less absorbent.

Julie — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 18:08:31 +0000

…but isn’t that a good thing? So often with disposable manufacturers the issue of “maximum absorbency” is a big deal. The big name sposie manufacturers go to great lengths and spend millions to develop a product that is built to soak it up, soak it in and absorb-absorb-absorb. But in reality, is that something you really want or need? Admittedly, the issue of absorbency is usually a great source of

Cloth Diaper Gospel, Can you trust EVERYTHING a cloth diaper blogger says?

Julie — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:09:31 +0000

It’s recently come to my attention that families choosing to cloth diaper may take what I and other cloth diapering bloggers say to be fact, essentially cloth diaper gospel, and will do what we say without question. Why? Because I have a blog, because I have a generous number of fans on Facebook or perhaps because I have a fancy logo or my own domain name? A previous post on

Is there a nighttime cloth diaper or potty training solution that works?

Julie — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 18:09:12 +0000

As I write this I am in the midst of raising two little boys. For the most part they are potty trained, I’d say 99.999%. But about once a month someone wets the bed. It used to happen much more frequently, even when they wore cloth diapers, pull-ups, you name it! I didn’t think there was really anything designed to hold the pee of a 2,3,4yr old boy. No matter

I recently had the opportunity to review these products from Green Team Distribution and it occurred to me, why not have my daughter review them since I ordered them for her? So, a week or so after receiving the Sparklehearts products in the mail she sat down and wrote her very first blog product review. Sparklehearts Yummy Deodorant & Detangler Review Guinnevere, age 10yrs The Sparklehearts products are amazing! The

Babywearing: Front Facing or Inward Mom/Parent Facing?

Julie — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 18:08:57 +0000

It’s hip to babywear. Celebrities are even doing it. TV shows are using baby carriers, they’re on billboards and film studios are promoting it on the big screen. Notice a trend with all of these? All of these babies are forward facing. Now while we’d all love to see that adorable little baby’s face, and simply because we see examples of forward facing babies on tv and in the media,

10 Reasons Your Cloth Diapers Might Be Leaking or Smelling (and how to fix them)

Julie — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 18:09:11 +0000

Leaky, smelly cloth diapers are a common problem for new cloth diapering families. If you start using cloth diapers without doing your research (easy to do, since there’s a lot of information to learn when you first make the switch), you may well find yourself with diapers that wick moisture because they’ve been insufficiently prepped or because you’re using a detergent that causes repelling. But it’s also possible to have

Cloth Diapers Made in China: Do I care? Do you?

09/28/2013 Note: I’ve decided to remove the original content of this post. My goal was not to promote “china cheapies” or to come across as not caring about patents or copyrights. Copying another’s work and claiming it as your own idea is wrong and a really shitty thing to do. If the original owner has the means to legally go about protecting their work then by all means, I think

Concerned about your exposure to chemicals and toxins?

Julie — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:08:09 +0000

For most of us, our personal exposure to chemicals and toxins is an important issue but not necessarily something we spend a ton of time deeply considering. We think about our exposure in much simpler, superficial ways. We try not to inhale smoke, we turn the other way when spraying a bug, we wear gloves when cleaning and are concerned about the purity of the water we drink. What we

Julie — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 18:08:50 +0000

Gotta love the digital age! While indulging in my Reality TV habit, watching Project Runway, one of my favorites, I spotted something! During a commercial break they were talking about a new show called 24 Hour Catwalk and I saw cloth diapers! They have got to be BumGenius but I can tell from the photo that the tags had been cut off. Have any of you caught this episode? I’m
