Rock-a-Thigh Baby Review

I recently discovered the cutest new socks....thigh highs for babies! I love these things! I usually put my girls in socks and leggings during the day when we are just lazing around the house, so these are right up my alley.

I love how cute they look in their leggings and how easy it is to change their diapers. I DON"T love the fact that Molly (9 months old) loves to pull her socks off. When she does that I have to hike up the leggings, put her socks back on, and then cover them back up with leggings (not always an easy task with a wiggly baby). With the Rock-a-Thigh baby socks, I don't have to do that. She tries to pull them off, but so far she has not been successful, yea! She can pull them down a little bit, but it is easy enough to pull them back up. They also work great for protecting her knees as she just started crawling last Monday!

They work great for Grace (29 months) too. She likes to match Molly, so I love that they come in sizes up to 4 years old. They also make it easier for her to go potty when she actually tells me she has to go, lol. It is quicker just to whip off her diaper and put her on the potty when you don't have to deal with getting pants on and off. It is also easier for her to go potty by herself.

Rock-a-Thigh Baby has a 15% off coupon code, but you have to hurry it ends Sunday! The code is sd15offoct2010. You can check out all the cute styles here.

Ragababe Organic 2-Step and 'Easy' AIO Review and Giveaway!-CLOSED

Molly in her rocking Hero 'Easy' All-In-One!

Molly is 8 months old and about 17lbs. She is in the medium 'Easy' AIO with room to grow.

Grace wearing the Organic '2-Step' in a size 2. She is 28 months, about 38" tall, and about 31lbs. She is long and skinny. I did accidently put Molly's size 1 on her and it did fit, just a little short. :)

Did I mention how awesome the fit on these diapers are? NO leg gapping. Even when I put in an extra insert for bed time they fit great!

Let me just start by saying that I am SO glad that I got a chance to review the Ragababe Organic '2-Step' Diaper! I really love them and they are now my go-to diapers. Ragababes are high quality, effective diapers. And they are made in the USA! You can read Joy's story here.

So let me tell you about the Organic '2-Step' and its awesome features. The cover is waterproof laminated polyester PUL with a soft inner lining. I really like the lining. I prefer having a soft lining rather than PUL coming into contact with my daughter's skin. The lining also dries pretty quickly. If the cover gets a little wet, I can wipe it down and leave it on the dresser to dry for the next diaper change.

The inserts are made of organic cotton sherpa with ultra absorbent bamboo rayon interior. The inserts also snap and tuck in which I love. It keeps the inserts in place, which is helpful with cleaning up poo messes! The inserts are also nice and soft and really absorbent. My daughters, Grace is 28 months old and Molly is 8 months old, are heavy wetters (I used to use BG's with their microfiber insert and a superdo at night and still got occasional leaks). I have no problems during nap times with just one insert. They can go 3 plus hours during the day and not have any leaks. I can also use them at night, I just lay in an extra insert or two of the Ragababe doublers.

Another feature is a wide comfort-fit waistband designed to resist wicking and deter "blow-outs". Let me just add here that my daughter Grace has had "sick poo" for the last three days and I haven't had any leaks! They also have contoured leg elastic made with 'last-ever' elastic that won't need replacing.

The Velcro is nice too. They have cross-over star Velcro that can adjust really small for those skinny babies! These diapers also feature 'stay-locked' laundry tabs. From my experience they almost always stay put during the wash. I suspect that the few times that they haven't is because my husband....okay and sometimes maybe I, forgot to stick them to the laundry tab!

I recently went on vacation and we did all cloth! I took my Ragababe Organic '2-Steps' as my primary diapers. They held up great. I love being able to fold up the inserts and shove in the covers. Two days of Ragababe '2-Steps' took up about the same amount of space as one day of pockets. It was also nice being able to add an extra insert for the plane ride and still have trim bottoms.

The only con that I can think of is that they don't come in the same super cute prints as their Easy AIO diapers! (Maybe someday?!?!) I have never been a super big fan of white diapers, however I will say that I love the white with the colored snaps.

Speaking of the 'Easy' All-In-Ones...I love them! I started out buying the Hero print because I love stars. It worked so great during the day AND at NIGHT that I bought more. They are my new bedtime diapers! They are an AIO and they have a pocket. I just stuff a Ragababe insert in the pocket and my daughters are good for the night!

The 'Easy' AIO's have most of the same features of the Organic '2-Step'. Instead of replacing inserts, the AIO's have sewn-in soakers made of quick drying, light weight, ultra-absorbent bamboo rayon. The lining is hypoallergenic suede cloth that draws moisture away from the skin into the soaker.

My First Review - The Doopsy Diaper! **GIVEAWAY CLOSED**

I have been cloth diapering for a little over two years now. For those two years I have used only two different brands of cloth diapers. In the past few months (when I had to buy additional diapers because I now have two in diapers) I've realized how big the whole cloth diapering world really is! My husband thinks I've gone a little crazy trying out different diapers.

I saw a sale on Doopsy Diapers on facebook and they were so reasonably priced I decided to try them. I was interested trying the Super Doopsy because of the insert, it has 4 layers of bamboo double loop terry (70% bamboo, 28% organic cotton, 2% spandex) and is backed by a layer of PUL. On top of that it comes with a extra absorbency pad made out of two bamboo hemp terry layers (30% hemp, 70% bamboo). I have heavy wetters, especially at naps and bedtime, so I thought a insert with a waterproof layer sounded really cool!

I ordered a Giggly Orange Doopsy SD from www.babyecomart.com. The SD comes with the unique Super Doopsy insert with extra absorbency pad and a microfiber insert. It was shipped quickly. I think I received my fluffy mail three days after I ordered it!

When I opened it up the first thing I thought was this isn't going to fit my older daughter (Grace is two and 39" tall). I wasn't too bummed about that because my younger daughter, Molly, is 7 months old. To me the ultimate test of a diaper is to use it at night. I did my diaper laundry that day and tried it out that night on Molly with just the Super Doopsy insert (no microfiber insert). The next morning I went in to get Molly and was expecting her to be soaked. She wasn't!!! I used it on her again at night the next time it was clean and she stayed dry again! I decided to test it even further and put it on Grace for bedtime. It stretched and actually fit her well. I thought about trying the Super Doopsy insert and the microfiber insert, but I really wanted to see how well the Super Doopsy insert worked on its own. She was dry in the morning too!

If you are interested in buying one of these great diapers check out www.babyecomart.com. They come in five great colors and are very reasonable priced! What's that? You would like to win a Doopsy SD in your choice of color? Well, you are in luck because you can win one here! Here is how.
