This Cloth Diaper Is A Game Changer

And I’m giving 4 of them away! (Stay tuned for that at the end of the post.)

This is the all new ones&twos all in one cloth diaper in action.

Adorable, fun colors, great fit, great customizable absorbency, GREAT price.

There’s really not anything not to love about this diaper.

Here’s why it’s a game changer:

All-in-one diapers are the closest cloth diapers come to going on and coming off like disposable diapers. When people email me to say they have a caretaker or parent who is hesitant to use cloth diapers because of the “extra hassle” or “all the time” it takes to put them on and take them off, I recommend all-in-ones. (Though, really, the “extra” work is pretty minimal with all cloth diapering options. It just takes time to get familiar with them.)

However, there have been a couple down sides to the all-in-one route. First, most of them are pretty expensive, more expensive than pocket diapers. Also, they tend to not be as absorbent as pocket diapers.

The ones&twos (okay, let’s break for a moment to acknowledge how cleverly cute that name is)… anyway, you can adjust the absorbency of the ones&twos diaper without losing the convenience of an all-in-one.

So you just lay the soakers on top of the diaper, if needed. No need to stuff or unstuff them.

Now, I will say that I tried Leyna in the diaper without any soaker a couple times, and we had leaks after just a couple hours. I always lay the one included soaker on top of the diaper before putting it on her now, and we haven’t had any issues. For us, though, this would not be a nighttime option, just because I have other diapers that I stuff with hemp doublers that are so trusty I don’t feel the need to experiment or replace them.

Newborns may get by with no soakers

For daytime, though, for daycares and babysitters, or even for new parents who want to dip a toe into the sea of cloth diapers without feeling overwhelmed, I feel like these are a FABULOUS option.

The cost? Around $17. The Green Nursery has them for $16.95. Most other popular all-in-one diapers start around $20-$25. When you’re building a stash, that’s a substantial savings.

So, while I don’t think ones&twos would replace any of my beloved diapers in my stash, they are certainly an awesome addition, and I will confidently recommend them to anyone interested in an “easy” cloth diaper option from now on.

Bet you want to win one now, dontcha?

Not only will one of you win ONE ones&twos from the manufacturer, one of you will win a THREE PACK of ones&twos from TheGreenNursery.com. 

Just follow the directions in the fancy Rafflecopter box below. Don’t be scared! I know it’s a change, but hopefully this thing helps me run giveaways a little more efficiently. It should be easier on us all.

This contest is open to U.S. and Canada residents, though the winner of The Green Nursery 3 pack must be from the U.S. I was not paid for this review, but I did receive the diaper at no cost.

Today’s the big day! I’m going to be on Twitter tonight (@BabyRabies), along with @FuzziBunz and ambassadors @HeirToBlair, @Tottums, and @EFFBlog to talk about the new #FuzziBunzElite cloth diapers at the Meet The Elite Twitter party. We’ll be introducing party attendees to 3 new lines from FuzziBunz!

The party starts at 8:30 CENTRAL time, and will go until we draw the last winner.

Then, enter the following in the boxes:

If you don’t have a Twitter account, you can still use this, and leave the Twitter Username box blank. This way, you’ll still be able to read what is being said. However, you will NOT be able to win any prizes this way since you won’t be able to participate in the party.

I hope that all made sense! I’m going to be honest with you all and say this is the first Twitter party I’ve hosted, and I’ll be learning a lot tonight. I’ll work hard to make it go as smoothly as possible, though. I hope you all have a great time.

Save The Date! I’m Hosting a FuzziBunz #ClothDiapers Twitter Party

I’ve always wanted to have a big party with all my cloth diapering friends. No really, I have! Cloth diapering is one of those things you almost have to learn by having others teach you, and I love having my questions answered and hearing others’ experiences. I also love helping others get started.  I’ve had many an “In Real Life” friend over for a face-to-face tutorial over coffee before, and I’ve shared my tips and tricks for cloth diapering online, too.

Well, now I get to host an actual PARTY with one of my favorite brands of clothdiapers, FuzziBunz! They’re unveiling three new lines and I get to be one of the first to tell you all about them. How fun is that?

So, obviously, you’re all invited. It’s a Twitter party, so you need to have a Twitter account. If you don’t yet, you really should. Not just because I want you to come to our Twitter party, but because, I swear to you, Twitter has changed my life.

If Twitter confuses you, here’s a great link from Mashable with a list of Twitter tutorials and FAQs, from very basic to advanced.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro who’s cloth diapered 6 kids, a pregnant first-time-mom, or even a parent who is thinking of giving part time cloth diapering a try, you should definitely join in. There will be plenty of knowledgeable people who can answer questions for you, and there will be prizes! Yay prizes!

Here are all the details you need to know:

Meet The Elite Fuzzibunz #ClothDiaper Twitter Party

Date: October 4th
Time: 8:30 pm CST
Hosts: @BabyRabies  & @FuzziBunz
Ambassadors: @Tottums  @heirtoblair  @EFFBlog 
Official Hashtag: #FuzziBunzElite
Prizes!: There will be 15 prizes given out (from 3 NEW product lines that I can’t really say much about right now), and all attendees will get a FuzziBunz Potty Training Guide (hint, hint!)

There are other details that I’ll add as we get closer to the date. Just consider this your Save The Date. If you plan to make it to the party, please go ahead and RSVP by entering your information in the box below. Winners at the party will only be chosen at random from the official RSVP list, and you must be present (on Twitter) during the party to win.

I hope you can make it.
