It's here -- my first event! I never thought I'd be trying and actually liking cloth diapers, and you can read more about my cloth diaper story here (and the end is yet to be written...).
I'm thrilled to present you with a short series of cloth-related reviews and giveaways! First up, Mother-ease!
Many people cloth diaper to save money and that does pique my interest in cloth diapers. I've heard that Mother-ease's One Size Cloth Diapers provides one of the best opportunities to save because the cover can be used 3-4 times (if not too smelly) before needing laundering, and the diaper itself is adjustable from 8-35 pounds, and worn under sized waterproof covers. The diaper comes in four varieties: stay dry, organic cotton terry, bamboo terry, and cotton terry. I received the unbleached cotton diaper, with unbleached snap-in liner, and air-flow cover for the review. At first I was nervous about learning how to adjust the diaper, since it didn't seem as simple as a pocket, but it really is easy -- and there's even a diagram enclosed with the packaging for reference.
I was actually surprised at how easy it was to use -- I snapped on the terry diaper, and then snapped on the air-flow cover! Done! And my daughter loved the pandas on the cover!
We had no issues with leaks -- the snap-in liner provides even more protection. The air-flow cover has adjustable snaps, which allows some air to circulate inside; it was soft and not "plasticy"! Although, the diaper and cover was a bit bulky.
One of the main reasons I asked to review this Mother-ease One Size Cloth Diaper System is because of its calculated savings. Below is a graph of calculated savings with 24 One Size diapers, 12 snap-in liners, and 12 air-flow covers (4 covers in 4 sizes), from http://www.mother-ease.com/cloth-diapers/Savings.
Overall, I give it a 9 out of 10! It's functional, but a bit bulky and not as visually striking as other brands. But if cost saving is your number one priority, this is the way to go! Mother-ease also carries an All-In-One Diaper as well as their Sandy's Fitted.
