WAHM Winter Wonderland: String Beans Cloth Diapers & Giveaway

I stumbled across String Bean Diapers on Hyena Cart and I am so glad that I did. She has the cutest prints on her hybrid fitted diapers. Here is her bio.



I am a WAHM mom of 6 little ones.  My 5^th child Abigail is my inspiration behind String Beans, and named after her.  I have worked for B&M cloth stores and really enjoyed bringing families to the cloth world.  We turned to cloth when my third was born.  I got frustrated at the PUL and microfiber troubles and decided to switch to fitteds.  I had a tough time finding fitteds that would hold them and gave in to making my own.

Here is the diaper that I received.

It looked great and was packed so professionally. The colors were great and I love how the snaps match the inside.

My husband was in love with this diaper as soon as he saw it this is her Jack OS Fitted diaper and it retails for $28.00.

Includes Fold Over rise

Every One Size String Beans diaper features the following:

Hidden snaps for ultimate comfort

Double snap in soaker for 8 total layers OBF and 4 layers of coordinating CV/ OBV

Coordinating soaker snaps for easier sorting

Extended snap settings for longer wear, fits most babies 10-35+ lbs

I love the bright color of the inside and it is super soft. The inserts are a nice size .

You can snap the smaller one in the middle or the larger one for extra protection or just use the larger one by itself.

I like to use this diaper at night and at nap times. We used this diaper from 9-7 and used our wool longies over top and we had no leaks. Here is how it looks on.

Now the backside.

Such a cute bottom!! I LOVE LOVE this diaper and it is great that I have found a diaper that will have no leaks with that long in it.

One lucky TTGG follower will be winning a OS diaper of their own!

WAHM Winter Wonderland:Geeky Cheeks Cloth Diapers

This afternoon's WAHM is Ashley from Geeky Cheeks Cloth Diapers. You can find her on FACEBOOK and ETSY. Here is her Bio.

My name is Ashley and I am the owner of Geeky Cheeks boutique from Texas.I am married and mother to an active one year old boy. I started cloth diapering a little late in the game (5 months) but I became instantly OBSESSED! I decided to make some for my son out of old T-shirts and woven fabrics and they turned out rather nice. My sweet husband suggested I make some to sell and that's when Geeky Cheeks Boutique was born. I specialize in hybrid fitteds but I'm going to dip my hands into some all in 2s soon! Each hybrid fitted is constructed from an inner layer of organic bamboo velour, a hidden layer of poly-fleece, and a decorative outer layer from a cotton knit, cotton woven, or in occasion Minky. The soaker is petal style and made to easily snap in and out. It is made from 4 super thirsty layers of super heavy organic bamboo fleece topped with the same velour on the inner of the diaper shell. I work hard to ensure each diaper is compliant with CPSIA rules and regulations so you know your baby is wearing a safe handmade product. I do take custom orders and I'd love to make one for your little one!

I tried out one of her Hybrid Fitted Diapers which retail for $27.00-$28.00. Here is the one we tried. 100% cotton knit, a hidden layer of poly fleece, and an inner layer of soft, luxurious organic bamboo velour.

Ok so when I saw the Christmas Grinch print i almost died. One of my all time favorite Christmas shows to watch and I was so excited to put this diaper on this babies bottom. It has a snap down rise and snaps across the waist with cross over snaps. That is a must for us with a skinny baby especially getting a good fit with fitted diapers. This is out favorite style that I will choose.

Now once you can get past the super cute print lets go look at the inside.

I was a little nervous that the inside was white but so far so good. We usually try to stay away from white diaper just in case. The inside is so soft and it is made out of a 5 layer petal style soaker. 4 layers of super heavy organic bamboo fleece topped with the same velour used inside the shell of the diaper. Making every part that touched your baby 100% organic.

All of her diapers come with a label on the inside with washing and care directions as well as manufacture and batch date.
Here is how the diaper looks on.

He is 17 lbs and I can still cross it all the way over to make a nice tight fit. These diapers are not waterproof so you will need a cover. I like to use this diaper for nap time. If the front wasn't cute enough look at the backside.

Now if that doesn't say have a merry Christmas I don't know what does. Make sure to check her out of facebook she is having a giveaway as soon as she hits 500 likes. Go over HERE and show her some love and win a super cute diaper.

I received a  Sustainablebabyish Happy Little Clouds Fitted Diaper in size 2 in the color Thistle. 

These Happy Little Clouds diapers from Sustainablebabyish are made from thirsty bamboo and cotton terry.  A double length 3 layer snap in organic bamboo fleece soaker is included to make this an absorbent fitted cloth diaper.

It comes in two sizes to fit babies from 7-35 lbs.  Size 1 fits from approximately 7-15 lbs.  The newborn snap down area helps protect your baby's umbilical cord.  Size 2 fits from approximately 15-35 lbs. The rise can be folded down to help you get a good fit.  This diaper is similar in design to the Sustainablebabyish Snappless Fitted Diaper, but it fastens on your baby with snaps.  The leg elastic is turned and top stitched for your baby's comfort.

The outside is made from 70% viscose from bamboo, 28% organic cotton, 2% polyester

The insert is made out of 70% viscose from bamboo, 30% organic cotton.

I was worried that this diaper would be really bulky and give a huge booty but it really isn't that bad. Now this diaper isn't waterproof so you will still need a cover but covers really do not add extra bulk to the diaper. I like using this diaper for nap times and at nighttime. I also love using this diaper underneath out wool longies for extra protection. 

Here is how it looks on.

Kraz Couture Diapers

I recently did a review for Kraz Couture during  my newborn diaper week. She sent me 2 new diapers to try and they are so cute! Here is the newborn fitted diaper that I tried.

I love the print and it is so nice and cute.

The inside soaker is so soft and squishy and babies butt appreciates it. Here is how it looks on.

We can't forget about a booty shot!

Now to my favorite fitted. It is her OS batman fitted diaper!

The inside of this diaper is just as nice as the newborn size.

It has a fold down rise to fit newborn babies. It is so easy to use and here it is on baby he is about 10 lbs.

It has a little bit of room to grow in the crotch area but the print is so cute and I love it! Here is a butt shot.

Make sure you Like her FACEBOOK page and check out all of her fabrics she has to choose from.

Kinda Krunchy Hybrid Fitted Cloth Diaper

We have really jumped into the fitted world and we now only use fitteds at night time. I was happy to try out a hybrid fitted diaper with Windpro fleecw from Kinda Krunchy.  I choose a super cute knit print and I know you all will love it too!

Here is the backside.

The inside of the diaper did not dissapoint either.

The soaker system is made up of a petal soaker with 2 layers of super heavy organic bamboo fleece and 2 layers of organic hemp fleece topped with cotton velour and a lay in doubler with one layer of super heavy organic bamboo fleece and one layer of organic hemp fleece topped with cotton velour (lay in doubler only comes with the One Size diapers). 

It is super soft and silky which I think comes from the velour she uses. I love that it has a extra little booster and we use this diaper at night time and it lasts him all night long. Here is how it looks on.

Now for the backside.

I love this diaper and again this lasts him all night long. It doesn't hurt that the print is super cute also.

Wonderful Bambino Fitted Diaper Review & Giveaway

We have really been into fitted diapers lately especially at night and at nap time. I received a Wonderful Bambino Bamboo fitted diaper and it retails for $19.95 but is on sale for $15.00. I choose the green color but it also comes in red and blue.

I was surprised on how thin it was when it came but it is so super soft.

Wonderful Bambino Bamboo Fitted Diaper. Made of 100% high-grade bamboo terry this is a diaper moms rave about. An easy to use natural option, this diaper snaps up with no problem. This bamboo diaper is incredibly soft and remarkably absorbent. One touch of this diaper and you will see why babies are always comfortable while wearing Wonderful Bambino.

The Cloth Diaper has a snug yet comfortable fit, with a unique snap positioning that covers areas that others won’t. Great for large or small babies; the diaper especially prevents leaks through the legs. The absorbency of the bamboo diaper is what truly makes it wonderful. Perfect for heavy wetters and nighttime use, yet exceptionally trim and stretchy for the daytime.

A Diaper that moms truly love and will solve the following problems and more:
• Uncomfortable Diapering
• Diaper Fit
• Lack of Diapering Absorbency
• Diaper Rash
• Cloth Diaper Bulkiness

The diaper fits babies 12-40 pounds

Everything is already ready no inserts to snap in or move around this is all together. It is easy to put on but at night time I do add in a few extra boosters for my really heavy wetter.

It has a great fit my man is 21 lbs here in this pic. Here is a backside shot.

This fits under every brand of cover that we own and I really like this diaper.

Green Mountain Diapers Review & Giveaway #clothdiaper

My love for cloth diapers grows a little more every day. Now i have heard about Green Mountain Diapers but I have never tried out their products. Our baby had a sensitivity to anything that would stay wet on the skin when he was a newborn so i sold off all of our prefolds. Now that he is almost 1 he can use them. I got to try our some awesome products from Green Mountain Diapers. The first item is their Two Sided Wipes and they retail for $10.95 for 12.

Cotton terry on one side, soft flannel on the other side. Terry is great for the main job, and the nice, smooth, gentle flannel is great for the final touch-up details. White cotton is the best color for wipes, so you can see what you are doing. 5x8 inches, approximate measurements before washing, and they will shrink somewhat.   I love this size, the feel, and the practicality of the 2 different sides. May fit in your wipes warmer without folding. This wipe is Karen's favorite, because I find it easiest to use several wipes per poopy change, grabbing a fresh wipe as needed, rather than folding a larger wipe over and over. These wipes are a less overwhelming size for a young baby's small bottom, yet still fine as baby grows. To me, flannel on one side and terry on the other has the best "feel" for the job. Suggested amount: 4 packs for a young baby, 3 packs for an older baby. 100% cotton. Made in China.


I LOVE LOVE these wipes I always grab for them first in my wipe stack. They are super soft and absorbent and they get the job done right. They are not ruff on the babies skin and the terry side really helps to get those messy jobs done.

They also sent me a Empty Spray Bottle and it retails for $.95 and a set of GMD slide Lock Diaper Pins and they retail for $$.85..

I always keep one of these small spray bottles in our diaper bag for messy diapers when we are out. I make my own solution and it works great for us.

The diaper pins are so nice I love that they lock and it is much safer for baby. 

Now I tried out their Cloth-Eez Workhorse Fitted Diapers they sent me a size Medium that retails for $8.75 and a size large retails for $9.50.


Medium Red Edge-fits 14-24lbs

Large Brown Edge- fits 20-30lbs

They both have the same looking insides and here is a pic of that.

The more you wash and dry these the more absorbent they are. They will shrink up a little bit and get a quilty appearance. 

Cloth-eez Workhorse original white fitted diapers. Optical-brighener-free, chlorine-free white 100% cotton. Simple. Effective, pure cotton. Or choose the same thing in organically grown cotton here.

Wonderful 100% cotton prefold diaper fabric in fitted diaper shape with a built in flap style doubler. Newborn and small have 6 layers in the flap and medium and up have 8 layer flaps, which is age-appropriate layering. Did you ever wish your lovely prefolds were shaped like a fitted? There is no better diapering fabric than the cotton prefold fabric. It washes so easily and wears so well. No polyester stink, no repelling, no special detergents are needed for 100% cotton diapers. The snaps are covered by the cotton fabric inside so no snaps touch baby. The flap style doubler is sewn inside in the back only for quick drying. See pictures on a baby here. Designed by Karen and made exclusively for Green Mountain Diapers. I love cotton diapers, especially prefolds, but sometimes a fitted style is preferred. This is an economy fitted with great low price and no confusing adjustments which create additional bumps and lumpy places. It's not fancy but it does the job really well at a great price. Sized diapers fit better than "one-size-fits-all" diapers because young babies are little and older babies are bigger. Yup, that's true. We made the wings a little longer on the no-closure version to give you more fabric to use for pinning or fastening them but the rise is the same for both versions. Consider baby's shape when choosing size. Wide, round "booty" shapes will need to size-up sooner than narrow, flat-bottom shapes, who will stay in a smaller size longer. Very fast growing newborns can skip size small and go from Newborn to Medium. Made in Pakistan.

Also in GOTS Certified organically grown 

Here is how it look on.

And the backside.

I had never even though to try out a fitted prefold style diaper and I'm sorry that I didn't I loved it. My husband even used it as a night time diaper and the baby lasted in it from 9pm-7am with no leaks!! Impressive.

I was also sent a Thirsties diaper cover in size Medium in the Baby Bird Blue Print and it retails for $11.50. The size Mudium fits 18-28lbs so I am sure this cover will fit the size Medium Workhorse and the size large as well.

Thirsties is a simple wrap-style cover, similar to the Bummis Super Brites in that it has gussets and no inner polyester layer. The PUL (waterproofing) is exposed on the inside for a more slick, wipe-clean surface. The size is different than Bummis Supers. The size, fit and cut is different. They are lower on the leg and is a little larger at the hip. The gusset is deeper. Solid colors. Size small really is for 12 pounds or more, not for newborns. Mediums run larger than the sizes, listed, I think. Large is big and should fit most up to 40 pounds. Wonderful over Workhorse diapers. Thirsties covers are latex-free. A true-sized cover in actual sizes with no bumpy rise snaps on the outside. Simple, effective and made in the USA.

Don't confuse this with the adjustable rise cover from Thirsties, called the Thirsties Duo Wrap Snap or the Thirsties Duo Wrap Aplix. The one on this page is the Thirsties Cover, which is a true-size cover that does not have rise snaps.

Here is how it looks on.

And the back

I always use this cover with the size medium Workhorse diaper. So Cute!

Lastly I was sent a Cloth-eez 8ply doubler in size small and it retails for $1.50.

he same lovely prefold fabric as our beloved Cloth-eez® prefolds in a doubler sizes. All sizes 8 layers (8-ply) of 100% cotton. I love the prefold fabric because it's so soft and pliable. It is quilty just like prefolds are so they come out of the dryer curly and need to be flattened out by hand a bit. This is the nature of the twill prefold fabric. I like to match fabrics. Organic is unbleached organically grown cotton (GOTS certified) and is 50 cents more. As an alternative use, you can use 2 together instead of those smelly microfiber inserts. This prefold fabric washes very easily and doesn't hold stink because it is 100% cotton. And best of of all, they are very inexpensive. Doublers add additional absorbency in any style diaper. You can fit the size small into the newborn Workhorse diaper. 

I not only use this insert with my Workhorse diaper but i use it at night time and nap time for extra absorbency. It works great.

Green mountain diapers have given a great giveaway package!

Included is a Size Large Cloth-eez Workhorse diaper, pack of Cotton Terry wipes, and a Empty Spray bottle.
