Disclosure: I have received this product in exchange for me honest review. The opinions are 100% my own.
I feel like I have tried almost every cloth diaper there is because of my obsession with cloth. Recently I was able to try a truly unique system that makes cloth easy and affordable. Being a cloth mama, I am constantly asked about what diaper I recommend and how many diapers you need along with a bunch of other questions. This is very hard to answer since every baby and family is different. Buttons Diapers offers a simple solution that I think will work for many families and make cloth diapering a little less intimidating.
Snap and Go. Really that is how simple this diaper is. The cover is an amazing quality that I haven't seen among other brands. It has the snap down rise to fit most babies. Once you have sized the diaper to your little one, you snap in the insert (they have daytime and nighttime sized inserts) and put on the diaper just like a disposable. When your baby needs their diaper changed, simply snap out the insert, wipe down the cover and replace with a clean insert. Switch out the cover once it is soiled.
With such a simple system, how many diapers will you need? One of the biggest factors on this is how often you are willing to wash your diapers. I like to wash every other day, so you will need enough to get your through that time frame. This will most likely come out to 8-10 covers, 18-24 daytime insert/size, and 2-3 night time inserts. This would make diapering your little one from birth to potty training for about $240!
Buttons Diapers really will make cloth diapering easier. Their inserts are super absorbent and the covers are bullet proof when it comes to leaks. I love the double gusset and always search for it when buying diapers...specially for that fun EBF newborn poo. I feel like this system holds up to the ease that they advertise. The cover is much more wipeable than most that I have used making it actually reusable from change to change. The snap-in system makes for a much more trim fit over prefolds and covers. To top off an excellent diaper, all Buttons Diapers have an adorable little embroidered button on the bum!
Buttons Diapers are worth checking out. You can buy them through their website. "Like" them on Facebook to stay up to date with deals, giveaways and what other moms are saying about these great dipes.

Rock-a-Bums diapers offer a 5-in-1 system that lets you decide what kind of diaper you would like to use. No joke, this diaper can be used as: a cover, a pocket diaper, an AIO, an AI2 or a hybrid diaper. Not only can this diaper do it all, I love it because the color scheme is a little more hard core than you typically find in the cloth diaper world. The prize pack includes a Rock-a-Bums diaper in your choice of closure and color, 2 inserts and a wet bag!
When you are cloth diapering, I find it counterproductive to use disposable wipes. Not only are you still throwing something away, cloth wipes work sooo much better. I have tried a ton of wipe sprays and landed on my favorite! Lovey's Tushi Wash is that spray for so many reasons. The smell is great. The cost is reasonable and although not that important, the bottle is easy to dispense. Lovey's is all natural and not only for the diaper area. It can be used to clean messy faces and hands as well. The prize pack will include a 4 oz bottle of Lovey's Tushi Wash!

There are start up cost associated with cloth diapering. Depending on your diaper choice, those can get expensive. Regardless, you will still save money but you can save even more money if you choose an affordable option. Typically, this would steer you towards prefolds and covers which can be daunting to some if you aren't familiar with how to fold a prefold. There aren't to many All-in-one style diapers that fall under the "affordable" tag. Imagine Baby Products actually makes a great affordable AIO! Their bamboo edition is on sale right now for $14.95. Imagine sent me this diaper to try out on Nugget and I just can't believe the quality you get for the price.
The Bamboo AIO is a one size diaper. Compared to some of my other one sizes, I would rank the Imagine diaper on the smaller side. Nugget is about 30 inches tall and 20 pounds and needs the diaper completely unsnapped on the rise, but the waist still had plenty of room to grow. I think this would fit a baby earlier than most one size diapers due to the rise snaps. It is hard to make the comparison now that Nugget is so big, but it looks to get pretty small.
The Bamboo AIO is most like a disposable in the ease of use department. There is no stuffing or folding with this diaper but you will need to snap in the soaker, though.
After you snap in the soaker, there is a piece of fabric that covers the snaps for your baby's comfort.
I like when the soaker is a snap in because the diaper will dry faster this way. The diaper itself is 1 layer of an absorbent bamboo and cotton blend, then you add in the 4 layer bamboo soaker and you get a great diaper system for an awesome price.
This is a great diaper for someone who is looking to start out cloth or who is established and would like to expand their collection. It just proves that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a really great, absorbent diaper.
Disclosure: I have received a Cotton Booty bow to facilitate my review. All opinions are 100% my own.
People cloth diaper for a ton of different reasons...I secretly think that the underlying reason is because we all have a shopping addictions and buying diapers is more sensible than buying designer purses, but not at all cheaper. Well that is unless you are cloth diapering to save money, which we all are doing, right? Before I had a baby's bum to slap a diaper on, I could not have predicted my pure obsession with the very article of clothing that I place on that bum. Is there a 12 step program for cloth diaper addicts? There has to be one and to go along with it is probably a blog of how to cloth diaper, strip diapers, diaper a newborn, and all those questions we love to answer. Well if there is such a program, Cotton Booty is the addiction feeder to those member. Cloth diapers in the mail, every month, and someone else does the shopping for you...genius.
Cotton Booty is a cloth diaper subscription service that will ship you a box filled with a cloth diaper, samples and another bonus item each month. You are able to choose the gender of the box and boxes are geared toward newborns to 3 year olds. So what did I get in my box?
The diaper is a Kawaii Goodnight Heavy Wetter. It is a one size diaper and is specifically made for heavy wetters...which Nugget is! We also got a Angel Dear Muslin Swaddle. Although I know it can be used for other things, we have really grown out of the swaddle blankets. It is really cute though. The last item was Wash with Water baby massage cream. It smells divine and feels great on Nugget's skin.
Although I love the service, there are some improvements that I would like to see. I received a swaddle blanket for a 7 month old, unlike my other subscription boxes that are age based, this is not. I think it would be much more beneficial if it was at least a smaller age range than newborn to 3 years old. I think I would also prefer to maybe spend more each month and get at least one more item. Either way, it is great service for someone who is starting out and wants to build their stash or if you want to add variety to your stash without doing the research.
