&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bunsupbaby.com" target="_blank" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D60oSFCdUHk/T2ZquXE7iNI/AAAAAAAAAtQ/vQaIy8LtZlc/s200/bunsupbabylogo.png" width="191" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I am privileged to be reviewing another reliable pocket diaper from another terrific Canadian WAHM! Mom Amber works from her rural home in Ontario, Canada and, like so many of us, became passionate about cloth diapering after learning all the tips &amp;amp; tricks, ins &amp;amp; outs of the gear and industry after cloth diapering her first baby.  Now aiming to lend her own contribution to the cloth diapering community, she has founded &lt;a href="http://bunsupbaby.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Buns Up Baby&lt;/a&gt;, a fantastic little online shop for all things pocket diapers and accessories!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://bunsupbaby.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Buns Up Baby&lt;/a&gt; carries two types of pocket diapers--the original Minkee Buns and the latest &amp;amp; greatest BunsUp 2.0 Diaper (released only this week).  These diapers start at only $9.99/piece at the cheapest price point, and they come in a huge variety of sweet little prints!  Also up for sale on the site are handy wet bags, pail liners, and extra inserts--both microfibre and bamboo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Up for review, Amber sent me one of the original Minkee Buns diapers in the sweet "Milky Way" cow print.  This is my second cow print diaper and I absolutely love how cute these look on my toddler as she waddles around.  With gender-unknown Baby #2 on the way for our family, I also love that it's fantastically gender neutral (Buns Up Baby has plenty of gender neutral prints as well as prints specifically for boys or girls).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aRplXSjLhw4/T2Zqy5UUXdI/AAAAAAAAAtY/PqXKsz8dH3U/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aRplXSjLhw4/T2Zqy5UUXdI/AAAAAAAAAtY/PqXKsz8dH3U/s1600/1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This pocket diaper fits the way I love a pocket diaper to fit.&amp;nbsp; The rounded tabs laid much flatter than I'm accustomed to with several other brands I've tried (I often find round tabs curl, but these weren't nearly as bad as some other PUL types I've tried recently).  Crossover snaps on the tabs mean that small-waisted babies can get an even snugger fit.  Hip snaps on both sides mean a nice trim fit on the hipbones as well as no "wing droop" (where parts of the diaper slide out of the waterproof layer) so that leaks don't happen.  I have never had a leak while using this diaper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pocket itself has a microsuede inner lining on the top which I love for messy toddler diapers.  Since I don't use a diaper sprayer or liners, I rely on the oldschool "dunk and swish" toilet cleaning method for soiled diapers.  I find that at this phase of diapering, microsuede is far kinder to us than fuzzy microfibre is (since it's perfectly smooth, it comes quite clean even when shaken and even cleaner when rinsed).  Stuffing at the back, this diaper has a nice snug, scrunched up elastic in the back waistband where the pocket opens, so stuffing is easy even for larger hands like my husband's.  The pocket can accomodate being stuffed with whatever you prefer most--compact folded prefolds, microfibre inserts, bamboo inserts, or even stacked (doubled) inserts for naps or nighttime.  Each &lt;a href="http://bunsupbaby.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Buns Up Baby&lt;/a&gt; pocket diaper comes with one microfibre insert included.  It was the typical type of microfibre insert that comes with all the Chinese-manufactured diapers, and for daytime wear, it did the trick (I double stuff with items from my own personal stash for naps or nighttime).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gP763Zv6g6c/T2ZrbJ9jOCI/AAAAAAAAAtg/xYsSwUCCEIM/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gP763Zv6g6c/T2ZrbJ9jOCI/AAAAAAAAAtg/xYsSwUCCEIM/s1600/4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, these diapers are inexpensively priced at only $9.99 a piece.  They hold up well to wear and tear, even that of a busy toddler who's into climbing, running, and tumbling at full speed.  The snaps never budged, nor could they be pulled off by defiant fingers.  Laundry was simple and this diaper always washed clean.  Overall, it comes highly recommended for anyone looking for a great new brand of pocket diaper to try, particularly if you're on the hunt for some cute new minky prints! :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Run by quirky friends and business partners Mohammed and Nader, this business is a labor of love that aims to better not only the cloth diapering realm but also the world in general.  Right off the bat, I was impressed by their vow to supply one cloth diaper to a child in need for every 3 purchased by the consumer.  They also boast free and fast shipping anywhere in Canada as well as some of the wittiest web site writing I've seen in a while ;)  This is a great company with a terrific lineup of unique and innovative products, and I'm happy to share them all with you in this two-thumbs up review!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Up for review, the guys sent me a generous care package to sample all their wares.  As for diapers, they sent me one of each type that they supply: an organic charcoal bamboo diaper (in red), a bamboo cloth diaper (in green), and an original cloth diaper (in grey stars print).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KOFZsmRdph4/Txxs2_KWpuI/AAAAAAAAArQ/PODfe4ttigE/s1600/red1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KOFZsmRdph4/Txxs2_KWpuI/AAAAAAAAArQ/PODfe4ttigE/s1600/red1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Charcoal Bamboo Diaper (in red). Though the round tabs do roll a little, they still achieve a highly flexible fit!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;All three diapers had the same overall shape and style to them.  These one-size diapers adjust for small-medium-large in the rise with sturdy snaps that make each of these diapers fit from approximately 7-35lbs, which means you'll only have to buy them once (a great way to save money!).  All Lil Helper diapers have stretchy, round tabs that pull across the belly for an easy fit.  Although I usually prefer square tabs (because they don't roll as badly), these round ones did the trick and still allowed for cross-over capabilities, which provides a great degree of flexibility for fit (even when baby might seem to be "in between" typical diaper sizes).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H4WAgnWQHBI/TxxsBLsl2KI/AAAAAAAAAqw/rlP6YgeKPYA/s1600/liners.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H4WAgnWQHBI/TxxsBLsl2KI/AAAAAAAAAqw/rlP6YgeKPYA/s1600/liners.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;These AI2 diapers feature snap-in liners that can be layered.&amp;nbsp; Seen here are the unbleached cotton inserts.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZltMa_RTbGE/Txxu8zozXVI/AAAAAAAAArw/AgVlDs39L9w/s1600/piano.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZltMa_RTbGE/Txxu8zozXVI/AAAAAAAAArw/AgVlDs39L9w/s320/piano.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;These diapers fit great even for a toddler on the go!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;At first, I expected these to be pocket diapers, when in fact they are actually all-in-two diapers instead.  What this means is that instead of being stuffed below the inner lining, the absorbant inserts are actually fastened on TOP of the inner liner by means of two other internal snaps.  These snaps hold it in place at both the front and the back.  Each diaper comes with two inserts: a large insert and a small insert, which can actually both be STACKED (and snapped together to prevent any possibly shifting within the diaper) for even more absorption.  What this means in terms of laundry is that, once wet or soiled, the insert can simply be snapped out and a new one can be snapped into the same shell, provided the cover hasn't been soiled.  The only other diapers I've tried like this were Best Bottom diapers, and I actually prefer these Lil Helper diapers better as the insides of the shells are more natural and softer (no PUL next to the skin), and the inserts are able to absorb FAR more than a Best Bottom insert (which has a synthetic topper).  All the Lil Helper inserts keep natural materials (cotton or bamboo) next to baby's sensitive skin!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLVYPSNhAU4/TxxsMFZrULI/AAAAAAAAAq4/VcwC7RXLv48/s1600/red.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLVYPSNhAU4/TxxsMFZrULI/AAAAAAAAAq4/VcwC7RXLv48/s1600/red.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;The charcoal bamboo liners are super soft and fuzzy&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;These layered inserts work so well, in fact, that even my 17 month old heavy wetting daughter was able to nap in a Lil Helper diaper (with double-stacked bamboo inserts) with no leaks.  She typically leaks through any pocket diapers I own now during nap time (especially as she is a tummy sleeper).  Usually naps and bedtime mean disposable diapers for us, so it is nice to find a simple new cloth alternative that works!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nBTIfrcl1Mc/TxxssMAkEzI/AAAAAAAAArI/BgryW3nA9jg/s1600/green1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nBTIfrcl1Mc/TxxssMAkEzI/AAAAAAAAArI/BgryW3nA9jg/s1600/green1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Organic bamboo cloth diaper in green&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;The other thing I like about Lil Helper diapers is that all their shells and inserts are interchangeable.  Laundry becomes less picky when you can snap the cotton inserts into the bamboo shells or vice versa (as long as you're not finicky about colors matching).  That being said, the Charcoal Bamboo shell and liners were my absolute favorite; not only are they super, SUPER soft, but I love that the interior is grey in color so they will hide stains very well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lil Helper doesn't only stock cloth diapers, however!  They also have my favorite cloth wipes to date!!  I have tried a great many cloth wipes, and of all the ones I've tried and reviewed, these are my total favorites!  They are made of super duper soft bamboo that doesn't crust up even in my washing routine (no vinegar, no fabric softener, no dryer sheets).  Typically cloth wipes can feel a little "crusty" once they've been laundered for a while, but these have stayed very very soft (like velvet!) after many washes.  For a newborn, these are definitely the wipes I will be using next time around!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hbyR_iT0nqs/TxxsZpl98cI/AAAAAAAAArA/aUbrTgy2JL4/s1600/wetbags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hbyR_iT0nqs/TxxsZpl98cI/AAAAAAAAArA/aUbrTgy2JL4/s1600/wetbags.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lil Helper stocks eco-friendly bamboo cloth wipes and two types of wetbags!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Lastly, Lil Helper also carries wetbags of both the zippered and drawstring variety, depending on what your preference is.  The zippered wetbag is extremely well-constructed (better than many I've tried).  The zipper is very flat and well-sealed to prevent wicking or leaks.  It has a sleek design and comes in bright, punchy colors.  The handle snaps open and shut to easily dangle from a doorknob or rail wherever needed.  This tiny wetbag folds up so compact in a diaper bag yet can fit 3-4 soiled diapers easily.  At only $8.00, it's a real steal!  The drawstring wetbag is even cheaper at only $6.00!  Constructed of the same quality material, this wetbag also holds 3-4 dirty diapers and has a well-made elastic and drawstring clip.  I personally prefer zippered wetbags over drawstring wetbags (simply because they contain leaks a little better), but if you simply wanted a wetbag to simply have hanging somewhere (rather than lumped on the floor or in a diaper bag like mine often are), then this would be a stellar little bag for you! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, I am highly impressed with Lil Helper's professionalism, innovation, and quality products.  Any of you will be lucky to win the generous prize (valued at $120!!) they're contributing down below--good luck!! :)&lt;br /&gt;

I am very excited to partner with "mompreneur" Rachelle on this latest review &amp;amp; giveaway.  Based out of Maple Ridge, BC, this Canadian mama of three began &lt;a href="http://tendertushies.ca/" target="_blank"&gt;Tender Tushies&lt;/a&gt; after she herself tried many different types of modern cloth diapers and finally found her "perfect" diaper!  Her entire lineup of manufactured Tender Tushies diapers features a wide variety of pocket diapers--some which are similar to others I've seen before, and some that seem to be an all new creation!  I was excited to give all these gorgeous products a whirl and let all of you lovely readers know just what I thought!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Up for review, Rachelle sent me three Tender Tushies diapers--one "Polka Dot" print, one "Purple Purple Eater" solid, and one "bamboo red" diaper.  She also threw in a cute white &amp;amp; black polka dot wetbag for me to "test drive" :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KnTuqpP-SLY/TslQaz4zJqI/AAAAAAAAAnw/4Y43QwjLwuE/s1600/polkadot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KnTuqpP-SLY/TslQaz4zJqI/AAAAAAAAAnw/4Y43QwjLwuE/s1600/polkadot.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Round tab print PUL diaper ($10)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CmKW1pNr2qI/TslQiGm8qrI/AAAAAAAAAn4/w8aOBNxQFZo/s1600/purple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yLNzo0iEKQU/TslRrWjHm7I/AAAAAAAAAoc/Qac24mPoDmE/s1600/purple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yLNzo0iEKQU/TslRrWjHm7I/AAAAAAAAAoc/Qac24mPoDmE/s320/purple.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I love the variety of diapers that Rachelle &amp;amp; Tender Tushies offers, because it likely means that every mama will be able to find a style and fashionable look that suits their baby best.  Both the purple diaper and the polka dot diaper that she sent me boast a leakproof PUL outer shell (softer and more flexible than many I've felt by other brands!), a supersoft microfleece inner, and a microfibre insert to slip into the pocket.  The only real difference in these two diapers other than their print is that the print diapers are all available in rounded tabs whereas the solids are available with square tabs.  Personally I'm almost always a square tab kind of girl as I find I always like the fit and stretch and reach a LITTLE bit better, and I like that the tabs always lay flat on a square tab diaper.  Even the round tabs on the polka dot DID curl a little bit with how they fit on my daughter's tummy.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, there is one MAJOR upside to these rounded tab diapers when compared to other round tabs I've tried before--they also have an extra hip snap like their square tab counterparts, as well as a crossover capacity on the tabs themselves.  I've never seen these two features in a round tab diaper before!  I love these extra snap options for a couple of reasons--firstly, of course they provides a better fit (the hip snap prevents wing droop and therefore leaks and blowouts; and, the crossover capabilities mean a perfect bit even when baby is at a bit of a strange size).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, apart from this more obvious perk, I am also very particular with how I stuff and fold my pockets for putting them away in diaper bags &amp;amp; baskets, and having crossover tabs means I can fold and SNAP SHUT this round tab diaper as well, making it more compact and stackable in my stash.  Typically, my round tab diapers are flopping all over the place in my basket, coming unraveled and having the inserts shift and bunch even before Baby has worn them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pX-dezu7JTo/TslSLvgqXPI/AAAAAAAAAok/eLf_Ovse3j8/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pX-dezu7JTo/TslSLvgqXPI/AAAAAAAAAok/eLf_Ovse3j8/s1600/3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Great snapping options make this diaper fit perfectly&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Aside from the waist and hip snaps on these diapers, they also are equipped with three sets of rise snaps to adjust for sizing (small, medium, or large).  This is great and a money-saver as it means that one set of pocket diapers will take your baby from 8lbs all the way through to potty training, most likely!  What mama doesn't want that?!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--8lE_Z5WTCU/TslSVkpc_6I/AAAAAAAAAos/JCK2ZoX6V0Q/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--8lE_Z5WTCU/TslSVkpc_6I/AAAAAAAAAos/JCK2ZoX6V0Q/s1600/4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Rise snaps snug the diaper up to the perfect size&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;The only downside to the snaps is that I did find they were ever so slightly harder to snap than on some of my other brands.  I noticed this only on the PUL shelled diapers (I had to apply a little more &lt;i&gt;oomph&lt;/i&gt; with my thumb to get the snap to really stick in properly).  However, this never resulted in any major problem or headache for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While these two aforementioned Tender Tushies diapers are quite similar &amp;amp; comparable to others I've tried before (similar to many Kawaiis &amp;amp; other Chinese-manufactured names), Tender Tushies also offers another type of pocket unlike any I've ever tried before.  I'm absolutely ga-ga for this diaper: their bamboo pocket diaper!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fWcOaZx863A/TslSdfso8GI/AAAAAAAAAo0/IkxXta_G8z4/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fWcOaZx863A/TslSdfso8GI/AAAAAAAAAo0/IkxXta_G8z4/s1600/1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Bamboo pocket diaper with bamboo insert&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s79aq9xgqeQ/TslSiu6vS4I/AAAAAAAAAo8/XOomlblqkyo/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s79aq9xgqeQ/TslSiu6vS4I/AAAAAAAAAo8/XOomlblqkyo/s1600/2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Outer Material: "70% Bamboo Fiber; 30% Cotton; Waterproof PUL"&lt;br /&gt;
Inner Material: "100% Bamboo Carbon Fiber; Micro-polar fleece"&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Rachelle sent me this bamboo/cotton blend pocket in a cute punchy red color (also available in sky blue and soft green).  Although slightly more expensive than the above-mentioned diapers (the bamboo is $12 whereas the PULs are in the $9-10 range), this diaper is SO worth it for a couple reasons.  I've NEVER felt a pocket diaper as soft as this, inside &amp;amp; out!  The outer shell is actually like a cotton jersey material--it honestly looks and feels like Baby is wearing a pair of underwear, not a sweaty, plasticy diaper!  Because of this jersey material, it also has AMAZING stretch &amp;amp; flexibility--the square tabs easily pull and reach to wherever you'd like to snap them, providing not only a perfect fit, but also a super comfortable one.  NOTHING digs in, and everything is fuzzy and tender (a namesake to the company name, perhaps!!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vix6Vah-hH0/TslS6R4zH4I/AAAAAAAAApE/u7SDYs2DHBQ/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vix6Vah-hH0/TslS6R4zH4I/AAAAAAAAApE/u7SDYs2DHBQ/s1600/6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;My favorite diaper in ages!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Secondly, this diaper's inner lining is ingenious--other than being a bright white which may easily stain with messes, this microfleece lining (still fabulous at wicking and remaining super soft after washing) is a DARK GREY color.  Not only is it fashionable and different looking, it is also so, so, so, so practical!  Although none of these Tender Tushies diapers had any problems with stains, I would imagine that this diaper in particular would never be susceptible to stains of any sort, and I LOVE this!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lastly, this bamboo pocket diaper also comes with its own insert--a 5 layer, super absorbant insert with a uniquely soft, smooth surface of bamboo.&amp;nbsp;  This insert is super soft, super compact and trim, and has been abosolutely foolproof for me!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;This is honestly my favorite diaper that I've tried this year, and I plan to hopefully buy a bunch as gifts in the new year!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i4S7UGy_0js/TslTGU47TOI/AAAAAAAAApM/0yQS_fjeUPM/s1600/wetbag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i4S7UGy_0js/TslTGU47TOI/AAAAAAAAApM/0yQS_fjeUPM/s1600/wetbag.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Double-zippered wetbag (medium)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Winding down from my diaper fever, I must also mention the cute, trim wetbag that Rachelle also sent my way.  This black &amp;amp; white polka dot minky wetbag is cute and folds up teeny tiny in a diaper bag, which is so handy.  A short (possibly a little too short for some peoples' needs) elastic handle allows it to easily hang on a change table or doorhandle if you so desire.  As a double-pocket wetbag, it's also super handy for storing multiple different items and keeping them separate if need be (dirties &amp;amp; cleans separate, for example; or, wipes separate from diapers).  I've tried other wetbags like this before and always love them!  At 10"x13" this will comfortably store 3-5 diapers and is easy to toss in a diaper bag, car console, etc.  This bag easily washes clean with the rest of your diaper or baby laundry and hangs to dry in a jiffy!  My only feedback would be that I do wish the zippers were a little more heavy duty and that the zipper pulls were a tad bit larger, but regardless of that, they still do the trick! :)  &lt;br /&gt;

Their diapers have evolved through various different designs and models, and they've finally ended up with their super popular 4.0 version--this diaper has been my segway into trying bumGenius for the first time, care of &lt;a href="http://www.figure8maternity.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Figure 8 Maternity&lt;/a&gt;, my lovely sponsor for this review!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.figure8maternity.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="180" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TS1o5usoxpI/Tqwx4qGfd0I/AAAAAAAAAmA/XUdvJJCYGhA/s400/figure8.jpg" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.figure8maternity.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Figure 8 Maternity&lt;/a&gt; is a super cute online boutique (their website makes me feel uber posh as I browse it from my pajamas at home! lol--check out their cute graphics &amp;amp; you'll see what I mean!) specializing in all things pregnancy, mom, and baby.  They carry a bunch of hip, gorgeous maternity clothes, nursing bras, breast pumps, post-partum shapewear and accessories, and a huge selection of cute and unique baby gear, wear, and accessories, including cloth diapers.  I love that this is a "one-stop shop" where a pregnant mama really settling into her "nesting" phase could get a lot accomplished!  heehee! ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Up for review, Figure 8 sent me a bumGenius 4.0--a stay-dry pocket diaper in the gorgeous "Zinnia" color!  This color is probably my new fav in our stash for our darling little Aurelia--it's so feminine but punchy and bold at the same time.  I would say that this diaper is a "heavy duty" diaper that has great structure and workmanship.  The velcro on it seems super-strength!  It is thick and supersticky, which can frankly be both a good and a bad thing.  The good is obviously that once put onto your baby (or your toddler, especially!), it stays PUT!  They could not easily fiddle with this velcro, and you won't find it easily snagging on clothing, etc and yanking free.  The width and heft of the velcro does make the waistband of this diaper feel slightly less soft &amp;amp; flexible than the snap diapers I'm used to, though.  The super-sticky feature of the velcro means that if you don't properly fasten your diapers before putting them in the wash, you might find yourself having to unsnag the velcro from a huge "diaper chain" or from other covers and laundry in the load.  The bumGenius 4.0 does have AMAZING fold-back diaper tabs built in, though, just for the laundering purpose.  Simply fold the tabs back before tossing into your pail, and these tabs won't move an inch while in the wash (they have never come undone yet for me).  I did have to pick the occasional hair or lint out of the velcro band post-wash cycle, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sYft0VvocpU/Tqw13ckVFvI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/OgyZvckiGr8/s1600/laundrytabs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sYft0VvocpU/Tqw13ckVFvI/AAAAAAAAAmQ/OgyZvckiGr8/s1600/laundrytabs.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;These fold back laundry tabs hold tight in the wash&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;This diaper comes with two thirsty microfibre inserts (one newborn size, and one adjustable size for infants/toddlers).  Although microfibre can have its issues over time (buildup &amp;amp; stink), I never have a problem with new microfibre inserts, and these ones have done a good job at staying white and fluffy when dried with my dryer balls over the past month or so.  Over time, I know bumGeniuses have a bad rap for getting stinky with buildup or residue, so in the long run, I think stuffing the pocket with other bamboo or cotton inserts from my own stash will probably be best.  For now, though, I'm happy with what came included with the diaper.  I also love the generous pocket opening that is easily stuffed come folding time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QL9VOZVJM90/Tqw1-jS5prI/AAAAAAAAAmY/mHBQDmME3rY/s1600/inserts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QL9VOZVJM90/Tqw1-jS5prI/AAAAAAAAAmY/mHBQDmME3rY/s1600/inserts.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Two microfibre inserts are included with every shell you buy&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The inner lining of this diaper is a soft, synthetic microsuede that comes clean very easily.  Although I have primarily microfleece diapers in my stash, I am always happy when my little toddler is wearing a microsuede lined diaper come time for a #2 diaper change--they are so, so much easier to clean over the toilet, especially since I don't ever use a diaper sprayer.  This diaper was no exception; it cleaned particularly well with the old dump &amp;amp; swish method, sparing mama extra work in the washing department ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Rr_oi3_YnG0/Tqw2KnUH5xI/AAAAAAAAAmg/n8U9TEGKWI0/s1600/pocket.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Rr_oi3_YnG0/Tqw2KnUH5xI/AAAAAAAAAmg/n8U9TEGKWI0/s1600/pocket.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;A generous pocket is easy to stuff with a clean insert, and the soft microsuede liner is easy to clean!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This diaper is made one-size by its adjustable rise snaps, and it should fit most babies from 8-35lbs.  The outer PUL shell is snug and trim and has held up very well through my intensive laundering regimen (which even includes vinegar in every pre-soak--a big no-no, I know, but a step that is necessary for our household at this time!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although (I confess!) I still love snapping diapers most, I love that this is a diaper that I can leave when daddy, grandma, or another babysitter is watching Aurelia for the day.  Even for the cloth diapering faint of heart, this diaper couldn't get simpler to clean and use--it really does go on just as quickly &amp;amp; easily as a disposable--a definite plus once you've got a walker on your hands like we now do with 14 month old baby girl!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bYIh6QkwO8s/Tqw2VEKb-dI/AAAAAAAAAmo/bvI00xiKZdY/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bYIh6QkwO8s/Tqw2VEKb-dI/AAAAAAAAAmo/bvI00xiKZdY/s1600/1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, I now know why bumGenius is still one of the top names in cloth diapering today.  Although the diapers do come with a bit of a larger price tag than some other overseas made brands, many customers feel that the 1 year warranty on each diaper more than pays for itself in terms of ease of mind that any problems will be remedied!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The product I'm reviewing today is one of my favorite items to have ever tried because it broke me into a whole new realm of cloth diapering--using prefolds!  When &lt;a href="http://swaddlebees.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Swaddlebees&lt;/a&gt; offered to send me a 6-pack of their cotton prefolds along with a coverall to use, I was both excited and nervous.  I have never tried prefolds before.  I had never used pins or a Snappi.  I wasn't sure if I had the &lt;i&gt;skill&lt;/i&gt; to do such things.  I had fears about rash, leakage, or staining.  I am so excited to report back that after delving into the world of prefolds, I have nothing but love for these simple diapers I'm about to review!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Up for review, Swaddlebees sent me a 6 pack of their natural cotton prefolds in the Medium/Large size (there is also a Newborn/Small size available).  They also sent a pair of large coveralls (in the super sweet &amp;amp; girly 'Pink on Chocolate' polka dot print!) to create a truly leakproof system!  When I first opened up the pack of prefolds, I was perplexed.  I had heard that prefolds were extremely absorbant, but the fabric felt thin and wimpy to me.  I recalled the importance of prep-washing and crossed my fingers that some magical tranformation would take place through my repeated cycles of hot washes.  And something magical indeed did take place!  After a few hot, soapy washes, my prefolds came out super plush!  All the fibres bulked up at least tenfold.  The fabric was no longer scratchy but was cushy and soft.  Now I was beginning to believe in the absorbant properties of these prefolds, but I still had to put them to the test!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cNuZxQQyNmA/TpZRpBr-SjI/AAAAAAAAAk8/Z7Fz3vaxKHg/s1600/thin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cNuZxQQyNmA/TpZRpBr-SjI/AAAAAAAAAk8/Z7Fz3vaxKHg/s1600/thin.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;The prefolds here in their state prior to prep-washing&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Not being comfortable with pins, I used a Snappi fastener with my prefolds.  The cushy cotton allowed lots of thick layers for the Snappi to grab onto so that there was no fear of the claws going through and digging into Baby Aurelia's tummy.  When we began using these prefolds, Aurelia was going through a nasty diaper rash (mostly from teething), so it was real relief to be able to put her in something totally natural and breathable.  Around the house, we left the prefolds on coverless to allow for maximum air-flow to help heal her bottom.  Even if she wet her diaper during playtime, these prefolds really were thirsty enough to not leak through--only a bit of dampness would begin to spread so that I could tell when she needed to be changed.  This dramatically helped me to clear up her rash.  These prefolds were also a lifesaver during a heat wave we recently had--again, they were much more comfortable and breathable during the heat and humidity.  These prefolds would also be terrific for potty-learning or Elimination Communication as they allow both baby and parent to get a sense for dampness spreading (while still comfortably containing all accidents!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-036GGYQWCCI/TpZR83AzEuI/AAAAAAAAAlE/4TLpn91BIFw/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-036GGYQWCCI/TpZR83AzEuI/AAAAAAAAAlE/4TLpn91BIFw/s1600/1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;After prep-washing, the prefolds are super plush and absorbant!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What really shocked me, though, was just how AMAZING these prefolds perform at nighttime.  As Aurelia has grown from a newborn to an infant to a one year old toddler, it's amazing how many changes we've had to make to our nighttime diapering routine!  As she'd recently become a tummy- or side-sleeping heavy wetter, pocket diapers (even double stuffed) were just not working well for nighttime anymore.  We tried everything and often reached for the disposable diaper at night to ensure dry sheets in the morning.  I wanted to give these prefolds a nighttime go but was &lt;i&gt;extremely&lt;/i&gt; skeptical that they would work.  I fastened them on in a basic newspaper fold (our favorite), added a stay-dry microfleece liner from my own collection just for a little extra wicking power, and I covered the whole shabang with the pink polka dot coveralls that Swaddlebees had sent along.  It was amazing!  It was miraculous!  These prefolds absorb and absorb and absorb and have NEVER, EVER leaked after weeks and weeks of repeated nighttime use!  In the morning, the prefold feels like it's about 5lbs heavy when I remove it, but Baby's bum is dry, with no redness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GkmjHYaetco/TpZSETI1Q6I/AAAAAAAAAlM/eYSGUI7SmXE/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GkmjHYaetco/TpZSETI1Q6I/AAAAAAAAAlM/eYSGUI7SmXE/s1600/3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;This cover is totally leak-proof with double rows of snaps at the waist, an adjustable rise, and double leg gussets!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Laundering out the prefolds is a breeze!  Occasionally I'll rinse my night diapers to cut down the ammonia smell in the pail (especially in the summer's heat).  However, with or without pre-rinsing, I find that these prefolds wash MUCH cleaner in the laundry than my synthetic fibre pocket diapers, and I end up with far fewer issues (like "funky" smells!) than with microfibre, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At only $19.95 for a pack of 6, these prefolds are all-around powerhouses.  Next time I have a newborn baby, I will honestly be going with prefolds and covers rather than Frankensteining together my own system &amp;amp; collection.  Once you get over the fear of folding &amp;amp; fastening, there is really nothing easier (especially in terms of care, laundry &amp;amp; maintenance) than this age-old system!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;There is nothing better than stumbling upon a shop that carries a huge selection of pocket diapers.  Though I've dabbled in all sorts of other styles, snapping pockets really are my favorite to come back to time and time again.  With little WAHM businesses cropping up all over the place, it's hard to keep track of where all these diapers come from.  But, I have a great new place I'm happy to recommend to you--Michelle from &lt;a href="http://www.sewisyourbaby.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Sew Is Your Baby&lt;/a&gt; is offering up an ENORMOUS variety of cute, inexpensive pocket diapers to bulk up your stash! ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sewisyourbaby.com/" target="_blank" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="166" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7k1mqU4FPyY/ToeJp3rGaqI/AAAAAAAAAkk/SfhGKYKk9X8/s200/logo.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sewisyourbaby.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Sew Is Your Baby&lt;/a&gt;, like so many online shops, is a home-run business by mom Michelle.  Working from home, Michelle is blessed to spend lots of time with gorgeous baby girl Parker.  Cloth diapering was an early passion for Michelle as she and her husband Donovan fought to learn the most they could about it, even though they were the only ones they knew using fluff at the time.  After successfully finding their groove and passion for cloth, Michelle took that love to a new level by starting &lt;a href="http://www.sewisyourbaby.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Sew Is Your Baby&lt;/a&gt;, an off-shoot of her other sewing and crafting endeavors through &lt;a href="http://www.sewisyourface.com/" target="_blank"&gt;SewIsYourFace.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Having partnered with an off-shore manufacturer, Michelle has literally over a hundred different items in her online catalogue, including pocket diapers, reusable flannel baby wipes, leggings, pants, and accessories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qDnfy1boI_g/ToeJmKoA6fI/AAAAAAAAAkg/TbWBzeNrSXo/s1600/product.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="305" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qDnfy1boI_g/ToeJmKoA6fI/AAAAAAAAAkg/TbWBzeNrSXo/s320/product.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Up for review, Michelle sent me a minky pocket diaper in the gorgeous, feminine Pink Butterflies &amp;amp; Roses print.  I've had mixed feelings about minky diapers in the past, so I was curious to see what I thought of this particular diaper.  As soon as I unpacked it, I was impressed.  The materials and snaps were of good quality, and minky was soft without being overly thick and bulky.  The inside of the diaper was a smooth and soft microsuede.  The diaper came with a soft, microfibre insert to stuff in the pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love this diaper and have absolutely no complaints or reservations about it!  It fits a lot like my other favorite pocket diapers (Kawaii, Hipkiddo, Dinkledooz) in that it has great fit &amp;amp; stretch, as well as square tabs that can be crossed over for an even better fit.  This one-size diaper has an adjustable rise and will likely fit most babies from 8-40lbs.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pocket stuffs from the back with a cinched, elasticized opening that lays flat without ever gaping or having excess fabric sneaking out the back to cause wicking.  The microsuede lining remained soft (though it does get the tiniest amount of pilling from time to time, especially if there is any velcro elsewhere in your load!) and was SUPER easy to clean.  I always prefer microsuede to microfibre when cleaning solids off the diaper, especially as I don't use liners or a sprayer and simply rely on the shake &amp;amp; scrape method for removing my toddler's poop!  The microsuede dumps SO easily into the toilet and washes perfectly clean (without stains!) every time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6mZzRBffeIM/ToeJwTkWQnI/AAAAAAAAAko/K6XZ5s8ZHeI/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6mZzRBffeIM/ToeJwTkWQnI/AAAAAAAAAko/K6XZ5s8ZHeI/s1600/1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;This diaper fits great, had no leaks, and doesn't leave red marks&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I love how soft &amp;amp; girly this diaper is, and Michelle honestly has so many other great prints to choose from (my other favorites for a girl would definitely be the Hieroglyphics and Pastel Swirls minky prints!).  Although I'm ALWAYS a square tab lover, she also carries round tab pocket diapers for those who might prefer their look or fit on their little ones.  Basically, there is something for everything at her shop, which is great!  Prices typically range from $13.00-$14.00 per diaper and far less for other items &amp;amp; accessories.  She still also offers free shipping to the USA, as well as a variety of package deals, and she offers a 30 day money back guarantee on all her diapers!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know you're all likely racing over to check out the huge inventory she has, so while you're scoping out, also stop to consider what you might want to WIN from &lt;a href="http://www.sewisyourbaby.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Sew Is Your Baby&lt;/a&gt;, and be sure to enter our giveaway to win a pocket diaper below!! ;)&lt;br /&gt;

I have reviewed other wool dryer balls before, and I've even tried my hand at making my own (in my early days of cloth diapering).  Making my own was very satisfying, but sadly--despite my mixture of following online tutorials plus adding my own creative flair--my dryer balls quickly fell apart and were totally useless in a matter of weeks.  I was a big fan of The Willow Store's small, lightweight wool dryer balls when I &lt;a href="http://www.clothdiapercontests.com/2011/05/beyond-bums-special-feature-wool-dryer.html" target="_blank"&gt;reviewed them&lt;/a&gt;, and so when Cyndi of &lt;a href="http://woolyrounds.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Wooly Rounds&lt;/a&gt; expressed interest in sending some of her dryer balls my way, I was excited to give them a go!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter which type of wool dryer balls you settle on using, their benefits are numerous.  Wool dryer balls are totally eco-friendly since they contain no chemicals or additives.  Instead, they assist in shortening the drying time of tumbling laundry through mechanically lifting and aerating the load.  They also assist in softening laundry without the use of commercial fabric softeners, waxes, and chemicals.  Their pummeling action softens fibres gently and also helps to reduce static cling.  Since wool has natural antimicrobial properties, these balls remain clean, fresh, and maintenance-free.  Some wool dryer balls are made with yarn, and some are made with roving (a combed type of wool).  All wool dryer balls should be felted (matted down) before using, or they will loosen and come apart during use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://woolyrounds.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.kellywels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/woolyround_logo-150x150.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Knowing all these things, I was excited to get Cyndi's package in the mail.  Since I started cloth diapering about a year ago, our household has gone completely dryer sheet and fabric softener free.  For years I had found that the fragrances of these products were agitating me, and having a baby (and cloth diaper loads!) was the last push I needed to completely eliminate these products from our house.  And, since using wool dryer balls, I can honestly say I do not miss the dryer sheets ONE BIT!  The wool dryer balls are actually much &lt;i&gt;easier&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;cheaper&lt;/i&gt; to use since you buy them once, stick them in the dryer once, and then forget about them.  That's right--you never have to remove them from the dryer if you don't want to!  Just stick them in and forget about them, and they'll do their job on every load, whether delicates, diaper laundry, or towels.  It's one less step in having to remember to throw in a dryer sheet and then pick it out of your laundry load later on.  I'm all about minimizing!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-phnMB0VDrBo/TnVff9xf44I/AAAAAAAAAj8/i_Rn768Rvhg/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-phnMB0VDrBo/TnVff9xf44I/AAAAAAAAAj8/i_Rn768Rvhg/s1600/1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Wooly Rounds parcel arrived, I was impressed with Cyndi's commitment to being eco-friendly, right down to the packaging material that the dryer balls came in.  Even her shipping envelope was completely recycled &amp;amp; eco-friendly (no bubble wrap required!), stuffed with a recycled paper type of insultation and cushioning.  Once I got the envelope open, my Wooly Rounds were gorgeously packaged in a cotton sachel--this would be great for storing them or traveling with them if need be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wooly Rounds are available in natural grey sheep's wool or in softely tinted colors of Spice, Gold, Lake Blue, Spruce, Garnet and Mountain Laurel.  Mine were the gorgeous grey and light purple roving.  I loved how soft and natural they felt and looked.  They were also felted to perfection--there were no loose ends or lumps anywhere, and the balls were perfectly round and firm.  I had much more confidence in these than in my homemade ones that sadly let me down!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although I love the Willow Store's lightweight, smaller dryer balls for tiny loads of laundry (like when I'm only tumbling dry diaper liners and inserts), I found myself sometimes needing a little more "oomph" for larger loads, like towels, bedding, or jeans.  These Wooly Rounds were just what I had been searching for.  I love that, having 6 of them, I could choose the right amount for the load size I had.  In smaller loads I would leave only 2 or 3 balls in the dryer and for larger loads I would replace all 6 in the drum.  Like all the dryer balls I've used, I do find that these shorten drying time (I pretty much only dry all my laundry on permapress or delicate now, and it typically comes out dry or damp dry how I like it).  Static also hasn't been a problem, and the laundry comes out soft (true, not AS soft as with the chemical sheets, but soft enough for us, and I like that it's all natural &amp;amp; healthy for our skin and breathing!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only down side, at times, to these dryer balls is that--there's no way around it--they do make an audible noise as they bounce around in the dryer.  All dryer balls, whether plastic, wool, or rubber, will do this.  Some people love this, others hate it, and many are indifferent.  I personally don't mind the "thump thump" the majority of the time.  I even find the rhythym calming as we fall asleep at night in our quiet house.  However, there are rare times, like when we have company visiting in our family room outside our laundry room, where I might remove the dryer balls or postpone tumbling the load until our visitors have left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All in all, these dryer balls are gorgeous, totally maintenance free, and completely reliable.  I highly recommend that every household should have a set (of between 3-6 balls, depending on your needs).  At only $7 each, these will quickly pay for themselves as you are able to do away with chemical fabric softeners &amp;amp; dryer sheets, not to mention reducing your energy bills on shorter drying times.  Read on for how you can also be eligible to win a set! :)&lt;br /&gt;
