GroVia Review

Well both my lil' ones are down for their naps so I finally have a chance to post this review. I'd like to first state that I have not been compensated in anyway to do this review, the giveaway in this review is being provided by myself and is not associated with GroVia or Facebook in any way.




I would like to start by giving you a little history on the start of the company that manufactures the GroVia AIO diaper, The Natural Baby Company. Like most cloth diaper companies it was started by a mom of course. Her name is Kim Ormsby and she started it all in her laundry room in 2008. I'm so very happy that she started this company, because after using the GroVia AIO diapers for one whole day and one at night, I'm in love. I truly wish that I had known someone who used them before I chose to CD this way I could have spent most of my money on them. Ok enought with the history lesson though and on to the review.

For me the prepping process was long compared to my other cloth diapers, but very much worth the wait. Before the first use it is recommended that you wash and dry them a total of five to six times to increase absorbency.The covers come in some very adorable colors and prints. For my daughter, I ordered the AIO in Cosmos, Owls and Mod Flowers. The AIO's are designed to fit babies 10-35 pounds. As some of you probably already know and as you can see in the picture the liner has a snap on it that you snap the doubler onto. The liner is actually sewn onto the cover so there is no stuffing or snapping on that part.  I like that the closure snaps on these diapers are different from the other diapers I own. 

The fabric on the cover is very soft and doesn't feel hard or like plastic and the liner and doubler are both very soft as well.  The cover is also very stretchy which I'm sure my daughter who is a bit on the chunky side can appreciate. I really like that the washing instructions are so simple compared to other brands, no multiple wash cycles or extra rinses required (a handy feature for a busy mom of three). So now I guess I should tell you about personal experience, this diaper definately stood up to my daughters test. She is a new crawler and we had no leaks whatsoever. We also braved it and traded it for our usual overnight diaper, again, no leaks!  After using this diaper I can honestly say that I'm in love with them and look to purchase more in the future. And now for the moment, I've truly been looking forward to......the giveaway details!!!!!!!!
