Cloth Diapers OORAH, Event #12: Bummis Cloth Diapers Review and Giveaway CLOSED

THE WINNER IS KIRTLAN KREW

Are you ready for the next awesome Cloth Diaper OORAH sponsor? 

We all know about Bummis right?  Well, if not, let me tell you about a fantastic company with amazing products.

Bummis began as the proverbial “kitchen table business”, started by 3 mothers who were using cloth diapers on their own babies and were inspired to create the products they themselves needed. That was way back in the 1980’s. It remained a home business until it grew too large to fit into any home! Since then, Bummis has grown and prospered while staying true to the vision that inspired its inception and the values that fuelled its growth.

We believe that once parents see how easy it is to use cloth diapers, they will use them! So we focus on making it easy – through the products we design and distribute, the washing and using information we disseminate and the customer service we are so passionate about. 

Bummis does make easy to use products with only parents in mind. We were sent a Stretch Bamboozle and a Super Whisper Wrap.   I have to tell you all, I really didn't use to be a fitted kind of a momma with a cover, I would use them, but they were not my preference at all! However, the Stretch Bamboozle is amazing.

The Bamboozle has two sizes that will take you from teeny-tiny (5 lbs) right through to potty training (35 lbs).

• Slim fitting with multidirectional stretch - fabulous fit every time
• Leak-proof design with adjustable legs and waist
• Aplix fastening (like Velcro) - just as easy as a disposable diaper!
• Hidden microfiber core and snap-in adjustable doubler increase absorbency and speed up drying time!
• Fabric is durable and stays really soft, even when washing with hard water

The Super Whisper Wrap has several designs to chose from and

• Very adjustable. Hook and loop closures with an innovative overlap design that ensures a custom fit on any baby
• Durable, heavy-duty elastic around legs and tummy which will not wear out with repeated washing.
• Soft, smooth polyester knit bindings for a comfortable, stretchy fit, and a leak-proof seal.
• Super-sized fold-back wash tabs to protect your laundry from rogue attacks by hook and loop closures.
• Generous sizing means fewer cloth diaper covers to buy, while still assuring a great fit.

Bummis is a product that a mom can trust in and use and know that it serves its purpose.  The aplix on the Bamboozle is much like the one that is on the Easy Fit One Size Diaper and never snags or attaches to other diapers and has attaches knowing you won't come off later.  I also know that if Baby B tried to get this off she can't.  HAHA, mama has a hard time getting it off herself.  So, I know she can't get it.  The wrap can be washed and dried as normal temperatures and has many different designs to chose from.

The first time I used the Bamboozle, we tried it overnight because that is normally when I like to use fitted diapers anyway.  I don't send them with the sitter because she gets confused easily and until recently did I know that DH knew what he was doing with fitteds and wraps (HAHA -- I was shocked). But I seriously thought that Baby B didn't pee, because the diaper was asbolutely DRY.  I was shocked.  I had to leave it on her a little bit longer and check again and I knew she had gone potty a little later, and it was still dry.
The wraps are amazing wraps that can be used with any fitted diapers and not just that of the Bamboozle, because when the bamboozle was dirty we used a different fitted and it served the same purpose and we were very happy with it. Normally Baby B wears a large and in the wrap she wore a medium and she still has plenty of room in the cover.

Cloth Diapers OORAH, Event #9: Miss Lily's Washing Powder Ends 10/04

CLOSED Winner is Mippy

(autopost)

Miss Lily's Washing Powder

For the last two weeks I have been using a new type of laundry detergent, one that meets the needs of my kids, my husband and myself.  It's not often that a detergent meets the needs of my husband, so you know this one is a good one.

I was sent a bag of Miss Lily's Washing Powder for review during this awesome Cloth Diapers OORAH Event.

Let me tell you about this WAH mom of Miss Lily's Washing Powder:
I am a WAHM of four beautiful kids and a cloth diapering mama. My youngest, Lilyana (aka Miss Lily) is who this detergent is named after. I started making laundry detergent after being disappointed with the other "green" detergents out there, and after reading about the cancer-causing agents found in popular detergents. My goal is to provide you with clean and fresh-smelling laundry without the chemicals found in the other detergents. My washing powder really works!

I test all detergent on my own clothing first to see if Baby B can handle being handle and to see how her skin reacts.  Her skin will turn a bright red when she has a skin reaction to detergent, we even have noticed this when giving her a tubby certain types of soaps.  So, for a few days I wore my clothes that were washed in Miss Lily's Washing Powder and even one of her blankets that she carries around. I don't like to immediately test on the cloth diapers because the one timeI did that, I felt so bad when she was bleeding from the detergent. Baby B did very well! 

What is fantastic about this laundry detergent is that it is 100% natural, soap-free, enzyme-free, clean-rinsing laundry detergent that is perfect for cloth diapers and all of your laundry!  That is right, we use this detergent for all of our laundry. I had yet to have tried this on the cloth diapers, but I was curious about DH would like it. Like I said before its not often that the hubby likes some of the detergent that comes through for me to review because of the scents that it leaves on his clothes and he doesn't like those scents.  He tells me guys don't want to smell like that.  Haha. To me it is just a fresh scent, but not to him. Well, I washed some of his work clothes and one of them had grease stains on his pants from his hands where he had to come and save me one day while he was working to fix something on my car (yeah we won't go there...my thoughts are "Ughh...always me!"). Stuck them in the wash, no soaking and did my normal thing, the grease stains came out and he was pretty happy about that since they are some of his work clothes. DH wore them to work the next day and didn't say a word.  I asked him later how was the clothes, he said "Fine, why?" I just left it at that.  DH will comment if he doesn't like the scent of detergent with, "Do we have to use that on our clothes?"

That night was time to wash cloth diapers.  I have to tell you guys a secret, I hate to fold clothes, but I am always eager to fold our cloth diapers, is that weird?  I think it is. The next day was a Saturday which is why I washed her diapers on a Friday so I could see if she had any reactions to the detergent.  The diapers had such a fresh scent when they were done and nice and clean and the best part Baby B had no problems. I LOVE IT.

Miss Lily's Washing Powder has many scents to chose from, so many of them that you will probably be sitting there awhile trying to figure out which one you want.  She even has seasonal and holiday scents, now tell me how neat that is.
