Thirsties Duo All-In-One Picture Review

Today I am going to be showing you a picture review of the newly released Thirsties Duo AIO.   AIO diapers have been regaining their popularity since manufacturers have found creative ways to make these diapers one-size (OS).  This Thirsties diaper comes in their popular two-size fits all system that we all know and love.

Hook/loop and Snap Duo AIO

They have the classic Thirsties look and color palette.  The snap has two snaps per wing and the hook/loop has standard tabs.

Snap Duo AIO

The snaps are close together along the waist, allowing for a nice snug fit no matter your baby's size.  

I noticed when looking at this diaper that it reminded me of the Thirsties Fab Fitted.  The inside stay dry layer is the same material and it has the same sewn in soaker pad.  So the following pictures are of the Thirsties Fab Fitted in purple, and the Thirsties Duo AIO in orange.

Side by side:  Fab Fitted in purple, AIO in orange

 It even has the same great sleeve for extra stuffing!  If you love the Fab Fitted you will also love the Duo AIO.  It is the same great construction, just with a PUL waterproof outer layer.  I was hoping for the leg gussets like in the Duo Diaper, but this is still a great AIO diaper.  Check them out today!

Happy Birthday to me (and to you too!)

Our first giveaway!

I would like to welcome everyone to our blog.  I want to be able to show new products and advertise sales.  As a way to welcome everyone, I am giving away my favorite cover: a Thirsties Duo Wrap in size 2!


When we first started cloth diapering our son, we used prefolds and covers.  For my husband and I, it seemed to be the least expensive investment to make to see if we liked cloth diapering.  We tried a few different brands of covers, but immediately fell in love with Thirsties and sold the rest.  The extra leg gussets saved us from extra outfit changes. 

Please enter our giveaway and spread the word about Carolina Cloth!

bumGenius Freetime - a photo review

The following is a series of photos of the new Freetime AIO diaper by bumGenius.  Hopefully this will show the design of diaper and how it compares to other diapers.

This is what you see when you first open the diaper.  BumGenius uses the same PUL colors for the exterior fabric, and have the same elastic and stay dry layer against baby's skin.

This diaper has two sewn in flaps that provide the absorbency for the diaper.  The flaps will allow the diaper dry faster and wash easier.  The top of each flap is covered in the standard bumGenius suedecloth, and the underside of the flap is microfiber.  Below, one flap is flipped out to show the microfiber.  Both flaps are the same so it does not matter which one is on top.

Both flaps flipped out.

This picture shows a comparison of the BG 4.0 inserts, both the newborn and the full size inserts, next to the Freetime. 

The infant insert is approximately two inches longer than a flap. The flaps are slightly narrower and shorter than the infant insert.

One interesting thing about the Freetime is the little pocket between the stay dry layer and the microfiber layer on the flap.  At first I was really exited and thought this would be a neat way to stuff in a hemp insert or something else, but it is only open 1/2 the length of the flap.  Oh well.  Not enough room for an insert, but I took a picture of it anyways.

Please let me know if you are interested in ordering the bumGenius Freetime diaper.  We are running a sale on the diaper for the next week.  Please click here to order today!

New bumGenius prints!

I wanted to have a blog post with an up close view of the new bumGenius prints!


Introducing "Albert" and "Lovelace"

I love the classy black on white look with the Albert print and I think the 4 different colored snaps are very cool for the Lovelace.


Here is a full on look of the Albert:

(sorry for the fuzzy picture)

Here is the full look of the Lovelace print:

The new prints are available in hook/loop and snap.  You can find them on the BG 4.0 (as shown), and on the new bumGenius Freetime AIO diaper.

Bundle of Joy

After having such a wonderful response to our gift registry, we wanted to create cloth diaper gifts for moms-to-be.  Sure, there is the diaper cake, but we wanted to make something unique.  Enter the Bundle of Joy gift collection.

The Bundle of Joy comes in two sizes, the standard Bundle and the Little Bundle.  The difference being 3 additional prefolds in the larger size.

First you get to choose if you want a sized (XS-S-M-L) Thirsties cover or a Thirsties Duo Cover.  You also get to choose your color (solids only), and closure.  We wanted to allow customization for every order.

Little Bundle of Joy

Both of our Bundle of Joy packages come with two wipes.  You can choose either the Thirsties wipes, which color coordinate with the Thirsties line of diaper covers, or a handmade cloth wipe from Lil' B's. 

Little Bundle of Joy

We will also include additional accessories for a new cloth family; rash cream, Snappis, and additional wipes. 

Bundle of Joy

These bundles would make perfect centerpieces at a baby shower and a perfect gift for Mom-to-be to cherish. 

We want to make every gift personal and special.  Whatever your requests might be, we will make it happen.  Just send us an email and you will create your perfect Bundle of Joy
