My New Favourite Cloth Diaper!

When Noodleman was quite small, I discovered the rainforest babies diaper. It is a diaper cover that comes with a snap in liner. Daddyman and I fell in love with this system. The diapers dried fast and so did the cover. I bought quite a few! My only hang ups with this diaper would be:

1) The company has gone out of business or stopped making them, or something. I only ever find them on Olivia Place, and then it's a nice discount.

2) They are a sized diaper. So Noodleman will eventually grow out of them.

3) The hemp liner that came with them (they also come with a microfiber liner), has gone all gross! It is thin and not soft and I don't like to use it unless I have too.

But all in all, they are still our go to diapers.

Now recently, the store has started selling Best Bottom Diapers. I will admit, I didn't try before we started selling them. I figured they are so much like the rainforest babies, I would love them. So, the other day I ordered the Hoot. Well it finally came and I prewashed it (which by the way is the thing I hate the most about all cloth diapers!). I hate having to prewash. I want to take it out of the package and throw it on Noodleman's bum. Anyways, back to the diaper, so I prewashed it, threw it on Noodleman and guess what? I frickin' love this diaper!! I love that when he needs changing, I just take out the insert and put in a new one (wiping down the inside of the cover too). When we go out, this is my new go-to diaper. I pack a couple cloths and a couple inserts and it takes up no space at all. I can even fit it in my regular purse! The most amazing thing is, the insert fits in a Ziploc bag, the sandwich kind! I have a wetbag, but I occasionally forget it :(. I also love that it is a one size diaper, so he can wear it for a while and then if we have another baby, I can use it for longer.

Here is the one I bought:

I don't have any pictures of it on, as we are also ECing part time, so Noodleman really only has a diaper on when we leave the house.  I bought 3 of the stay dry liners to go with this diaper and that seems to be a good number. I don't want to use it for more than 3, as I think it would get stinky in there! However, having not tried it, I don't actually know. 

Now here are the things I don't like about this diaper...there's only 2. First, the inserts are sized, so at some point I will have to buy more. However, this is nice because Noodleman is small and is currently in the medium size, so there is no bunching and it fits like a sized diaper. The second thing I dislike about it is, one day he will be out of diapers and I may have to sell it! 

There are so many patterns of the Best Bottom diapers, I might have to buy a few more. I am excited to try the over night liners. We have doubled up with inserts before, but it is so nice that these snap together. It would mean no more bunching and moving around. I will try to catch a photo at naptime, with his little bum up in the air, then you can see how incredibly cute this diaper is. I am excited to get a Moo-licious one as well. We have been in the solid colours for so long, I can't wait to explore more prints!!

**While I do sell them, this is a personal account of my experience with this style/brand of diaper. The company does not/did not pay me for this, I had to purchase this diaper myself for my son.
