Nana's Natural Diapers: Biobottoms Rainbow Wool Diaper Cover
(click any photos in this post to enlarge and see detail)
Check out our new Biobottoms wool diaper cover from Nana's Natural Diapers.
We've had this diaper cover for some time now, and we are loving it! It's made from dense felted lambswool and really does its job.
Take a look up close. This cover has both velcro and snaps. It is very well constructed and although it is still fairly new to us, I believe it would hold up through multiple babies! It's simple but cute, and gender-neutral! The wool allows this cover to be breathable and leak proof at the same time. Absolutely NO issues with night-time leaks here. She stays comfy all night long, and our sheets stay dry ;-)
It's hard to see here, but the leg holes are surrounded with a soft and stretchy material that is gentle against her skin and doesn't leave marks. The waist has lots of easy stretch as well.
This cover is super slim but very effective in our experience. We are unable to close the snaps on this cover, but the Velcro holds plenty well on its own. For little ones like mine with chubby thighs, their high-cut covers would be better. If I had more cloth diapers that require covers, I'd happily get more of these! They dry nice and quick too.
Nana's Natural Diapers carries so much more, and they were a pleasure to work with, so take a look at their shop, and let them know that Woman Uncensored sent you :-)

Banana Peels Diapers, Bum Genius Organic OS
(click photos to enlarge)
Banana Peels Diapers has a massive selection of various brands, and we tried one of their Bum Genius Organic one-size.
The snaps allow you to adjust the fit as your baby grows, from about 8-35 pounds
The inside of this diaper is 100% organic cotton, and oh-so soft!
I love this little diagram they have so you can see what I'm talking about!
The stretch to fit tabs give it a nice sort of fit that I often miss from our disposable diaper days. According to the site, these are an industry first, so no wonder I haven't seen this in other diapers! It's a great feature. The liner is sewn onto the front and back of the diaper, but is loose in between for easier washing and faster drying. This really does make a difference when I'm hand-washing! I also appreciate not having to stuff it, or dig for the right liner. Everything stays together! This diaper is so easy to use, which would make it good for those of you with hesitant hubbys or childcare providers. Ours has snaps, but they also come in hook and loop for those of you who may prefer that. The leg elastic is gentle, but contains any mess. It has a waterproof outer layer, and we've had zero leaks with this diaper, even during long nights. We feel totally confident using this diaper any time, any where. Overall, this diaper is slim and comfy but effective!
You just really can't go wrong with Bum Genius, and Banana Peels Diapers offers free shipping on all orders over $50. She carries a ton of other brands and diaper types too, AND lots of other products. Baby carriers, mama items, gifts, baby legs, swim diapers, and a lot more! There are even great resources there about cloth diapering, diaper care, potty training, etc. I found their service was quick and friendly.

Angel Bums AIO Cloth Diaper
(all photos can be clicked to enlarge and see detail)
The outer layer is made from Ultrex, waterproof and super soft! They have hook and loop closures called DuraGrip (like Velcro but tougher). She sews all the way around the edges of the closures so there are no rough edges. There are also laundry tabs of course, so you can fold the DuraGrips over on themselves. This keeps them from snagging on other diapers in the laundry, a definite must-have feature!
We've only been using them a little while, but the diapers are well made and I believe will hold up well very well over time. The elastic is just the right amount of stretchy. Secure without being pinchy!

Just when you're groaning to yourself about having to change another diaper, you open it up and ta-da! FAIRIES! LOL! These are so stinkin cute! She has a lot of different fabrics and is happy to do custom orders. I just love all things girly, so seeing these hang drying in my bathroom, or on my little one's tush just makes cloth diapering that much more awesome. And yes, her boy diapers are cute too!
The soaker is super absorbent, and attached securely at the back. No digging through the laundry for a separate piece, but it's not *inside* the diaper, so it washes and dries easier (a plus for me when hand-washing!) Like the rest of the diaper, it is well made and securely sewn on. I feel like we could beat the crap out of these and they'll just say "Is that all ya got?!"
Her diapers come in four sizes, and the newborns even have an umbilical cord cut out.
Little One here has just turned 2 and can be a heavy wetter at night. AngelBums lasted all night long without even breaking a sweat!
The pros about AngelBums: Everything!
The cons: I wish I'd had a full stash of these from day 1 when I became a mommy 5 years ago!
I absolutely love them. Adorable, customizable, soft yet durable, very absorbent without being bulky, and no need for extra soakers. I would definitely invest in more of these if we were to have another squeaker!
