Cloth Diapers: Proud to be American

Ironically, I am NOT Made in the USA

We have been getting lots of questions lately regarding which of our brands are Made in the USA. Almost all of them are with a few big exceptions. The very popular Mother-ease, Aristocrat and Bummis diapers and covers are all made way up north in Canada. Imse Vimse (fun fact: Imse Vimse means “Itty Bitty” in Swedish) is a Swedish brand and Snappis, like the amazing World Cup we all just witnessed, come from South Africa.

Here is a list of some of our absolute favorite diapers, covers and accessories proudly Made in the USA.

But I am!

Thirsties Duo Diaper in Meadow and Rose

Wonderful Thirsties recently introduced the Duo Diaper. It is a natural evolution of their terrific Duo Wrap Diaper Covers which have been best sellers since their introduction earlier this year. These Diapers are great as they have a wonderful snap system that allows you to adjust the diaper to fit your growing baby. So, instead of having to buy multiple sizes, just TWO sizes should get you through from newborn to potty learning. I love that. Like everyone else, we are working on being more frugal and making every dollar we spend count a little more. This helps a tremendous amount.

Honeydew

Orchid

Like all Thirsties products, these diapers come in wonderful colors. Currently, honeydew and orchid are my favorites. They have all the high quality features we have come to expect from Thirsties. Great leg gussets that stop leaks from happening, microfiber terry and hemp insert that is super absorbent and a great sleeve design that allows for easy stuffing. Everyone should have these as part of their stash. They really are that good.

So, have you tried a Duo Diaper? If so, what do you think? Do you love them as much as I do?

My Five Favorite Covers

I often get asked by my customers what is the best diaper cover for their baby. This isn’t that hard for me. I have tried them all and the following are my five favorites. What are yours?

Thirsties Cover

Thirsties Duo Wrap in Mango

The Thirsties cover is a modern day classic. Simple, economical, sturdy and reliable. It comes it dozens of wonderful colors and just doesn’t fail. They are very easy to care for and just go on forever. They work with all the different types of diapers in my stash…flats, prefolds, fitteds. Now, with the new Duo-Wrap by Thirsties they are an even better deal. The adjustable rise allows the diapers to stay in rotation twice as long. Your baby will not grow out of these for a ages.

Aristocrats

Aristocrat Wool Cover

What can you say about the Aristocrat Wool Cover other than it is the gold standard of wool covers. I is the perfect natural fiber for diaper covers. It is anti-microbial, breathable and absorbs up to 1/3 of its weight in liquid before it begins to feel wet. Properly lanolized, this cover just does not leak. Wonderful for overnights, an Aristocrat is also terrific for daytime. Want to a add a bit of whimsy to your cover? Dye it. Kool-Aid is my preferred type of dye but any will do. The Aristo must be part of every cloth diapering parent’s stash. A tad more expensive, certainly, but well worth every penny.

The Imse Vimse Wool Cover

Imse Vimse Wool Cover

I love the entire Imse Vimse line. Premium diapers materials coupled with excellent craftsmanship make this Swedish line one of my all time favorites. The Imse Vimse wool cover gives all the protection of wool but in a wrap format. A hybrid of the Aristo and Thirsties in many ways. Wonderful leak proof protection, breathable, simple to get on and off. A perfect cover.

The Mother-ease Cover

Mother-ease Air Flow Cover

The Air-Flow Snap Cover is a wonderful product by Mother-ease, a name we already associate with high-quality cloth diapers. The Air-Flow has a marvelous system of snaps that allows for air ventilation keeping the temperature down and reducing the risk of bacteria build up in the cover. When coupled with a Mother-ease one size or Sandy diaper, this provides a leak-proof diapering system. I especially love the new Eco-themed prints.

The Kozy Wool Soaker

Kozy Designs Wool Soaker

I love my Kozy Wool Soakers. They are fun, vibrantly colored wool covers that do not sacrifice absorbency despite their cute styles. They come in a range of sizes from soakers, to shorties to longies. Hand knit out of 100% Merino wool, these are wonderful day time wool covers for your baby.

Thirsties Duo Wrap

Thirsties Duo Wraps

Thirsties has been a favorite of ours for quite some time. They make simple, waterproof cloth diaper covers in terrific colors. They are an essential part of any diapering mom’s stash. Well, Thirsties has done it again and introduced the Duo Wrap. The Duo Wrap has an adjustable rise which allows for each size to last twice as long. It comes in two sizes. Size One takes an infant from 6 to 18lbs and Size Two takes the baby from 18 to 40lbs. They also have three rows of snaps to allow the wraps to be adjusted to each baby’s unique shape.

The Duo Wraps have all the other features we love in our Thirsties sized covers…waterproof, breathable fabric, super soft leg gussets, PVC-free, phthalates-free, lead-free, and latex-free AND they come in all the wonderful Thirsties colors (Storm Cloud is our favorite). Check them out!
