Summer Cloth Diaper Giveaway Hop.

I am excited to share a fabulous cloth diaper that is very affordable, family owned and is frequently featured on Penny's fluffy bum.

Buttons Diapers is a family owned business by Amy and her husband. A few months ago I wrote my first review on their awesome cloth diapers and recently I had the pleasure of representing the brand with Amy at The Mommie Mixer, a Seattle event for moms to network with local companies. Getting to know Amy has been such a pleasure, and I love sharing about her cloth diapers!

Buttons Diapers are the "all in two" / AI2 style of cloth diapers, meaning they feature a diaper cover with removable inserts that you can snap in. When you change the diaper, as long as the cover isn't soiled, you can just snap in a new insert and go along your merry way. This feature makes this system very affordable because you only have to purchase a few covers and maximize on buying more inserts, which are less expensive.  I recommend 5 covers, 2 dozen day time inserts and 3 night time inserts for a standard AI2 system. For a toddler this will get you washing your diapers once every 3 days or so, if they aren't a heavy wetter. For newborns and heavy wetters you'll want closer to 7-8 covers and 30 or so inserts, since you'll be changing the diaper much more often. But don't worry, the cost savings rack up quickly!

There's a few features that makes Buttons stand out above the crowd - here's some of my favorites:
  • Buttons inserts are suuuuuuper soft and feature a contour stitch (very much like a mama-pad, which I feel helps keep messes a little more contained)
  • the inserts come in two sizes and thickness - small (for 9-20 lbs) and large (20-35 lbs), day time and night time thickness. The night time inserts feature snaps on both sides so you can layer up if your child wets a lot at night.
  • the covers feature double gussets at the legs and extra elastic at the belly button and small of the back. I feel like this goes a long way in making the cover (which is made to grow with your baby from 9 - 35 lbs) fit your baby well as they grow.



The best feature is the affordability. The covers are $11, $3.50 per day time insert and $5 for the thicker night time inserts. So lets assume you purchased 5 covers, 24 day time inserts and 3 night time inserts - from birth to potty training you're looking at spending $154.00!!!  
I *really* wanted to do a cute pink photo shoot, but Miss Penny had other plans.
So instead, here's how Buttons diapers can move and stay leak free with an active toddler ;)
