Bee Changed Micro Suede Diaper Review



            Like most baby product companies,   The Little Bee Co. was started by a mom determined to provide a quality product for her child. I recently received the opportunity to try the Bee Changed Micro Suede Cloth Diaper. I received this diaper in Japanese Cherry Blossom, which is an absolutely beautiful shade of pink.

         
            The diaper comes with two microfiber inserts that snap together, a feature I found convenient for stuffing purposes. The inner lining of the diaper is very soft so I'm sure my LO found it to be quite comfy on her bottom. The prepping process was by far the easiest I've encountered. You simply wash once in hot water with a little bit of cloth diaper detergent then tumble dry. I first used the diaper overnight because my daughter is a heavy wetter and normally leaks through her usual "night time" diapers. I was very impressed in the morning when I woke up and there were no leaks, not even the slightest bit of dampness around her legs. It was incredibly easy to find a good fit around her waist with this diaper, but it did leave deep, red creases around her thighs. Now I can't say for sure this is because of the elastic on the diaper or because she has extremely chunky thighs. I have since used it multiple times during the day to see how crawl-worthy it is and how it withstands, ahem, blowouts.......again a success! Another thing about this diaper that I thoroughly enjoy is the "Wrap and Go" feature. You can snap the tabs together to allow for mess elimination or if you have a baby with a tiny waist you can use it to snap over.

"Wrap and Go"
            Overall, I believe this diaper is every bit worth the try. The price of these diapers are quite a bit cheaper than FuzziBunz OS and the same price as BumGenius 4.0 OS, but every bit as quality made. To say the least, I am extremely impressed with this diaper and would love to add more to my fluff stash. I would like to add that a quality I like about The Little Bee Co., is it is a philanthropic entity as well. For every diaper purchased from them, they will donate a diaper to an orphan in need. Great company, great diaper, great mission. This is a diaper I would highly recommend. =0)


*Note: After following some advice from the creator, I re-aligned the lower snaps on the diaper to better accommodate my daughters thighs and no red marks! Thank you Jona!

Cloth Diaper Confusion

I am still in the infancy of my transition to cloth diapers so I'm constantly looking for different brands, types etc. During the time I was researching I got mixed reactions from people that I asked from "It's easy", " I love it" to "Why would you want to deal with all that extra work?". I have a few brands in my stash now but still have yet to make up my mind as to what my ABSOLUTE favorite is. I've tried the Flip diaper system which is good for maybe just sitting around at home, but I would'nt take them on long trips. My reasoning behind that is the inserts bunch and when my daughter poos, it gets all over the cover which then leads to that cover being only a one time user. I've tried multiple pocket diapers including BumGenius, DryBees and FuzziBunz. Now I do have to take this opportunity to say that I love the pocket diapers especially the FuzziBunz, the only downfall is the price. They can be quite expensive and are one time use diapers. I just recently ordered GroVias from Earth Angels Diaper Co. while they were on special for Buy three get one free. I will be doing a review and giveaway on this diapering system to celebrate getting my blog up and running. Once I'm done with the prepping process for the GroVias that I am keeping, I will post a review and details on how to enter to win the other one. Thanks again for reading and talk to y'all soon.
