Giveaway Alert! Win your own GADBaby Diaper! Want to know how? Read to the bottom of the post for details. ECO-ngratulations Christina (@Mommacrissy)!
GADBaby Diapers:(noun) 1. waterproof, eye-popping, super cute, eco-friendly cloth diapers. 2. Green Acres Designs (GAD)
The DETAILS: Side snaps, 3 adjustable snap settings on back wings, PUL waterproof fabric outer, choose from either butter soft microfleece or bamboo inside, trim hemp insert, sized diapers, a rainbow of color selections, Made in the USA, $14.95-17.95 each
The FRESH: I really love how well this diaper fit Lil’ B. Unlike the one sized pocket diapers, the GAD diaper fit her perfectly. I absolutely love the different color selections and especially the colored microfleece inside (no ugly stains!!)!! Lil’ B has worn her GAD about 5 times and I’ve never had any leaking with it. The hemp insert holds a TON of pee for being so slim. GADBaby is a small mom-owned and operated business and it always makes me feel great to support them. Kim (owner) has been wonderful to work with and is always available via email, Twitter, and Facebook to help answer questions.
The STINKY: They are not one sized (small, medium, and large) so you will need to buy a minimum of 10-15 of each size. I have 20 cloth diapers and I’m washing every third day on average. BUT…don’t let this deter you from buying sized diapers. You always have the option to resell the cloth that you outgrow to help you recoup some of your costs. You can sell cloth diapers on Ebay, Craigslist, DiaperSwappers, and many other online cloth diaper sites. I’m still fairly new (7 months) to this cloth diaper world and have never purchased used cloth diapers but I hear the market is crazy!
The VERDICT: Would I buy GADBaby diapers? Yes! While I have to say I’m still partial to another popular brand that is one sized, the GADBaby diaper is one of my favorite snap diapers. The color selection is amazing and I really (REALLY!) love the colored microfleece inside! I think that was my favorite feature of the GADBaby diaper.

Blaze Orange, Lilac w/Pink, Grape, Orchid, Magenta w/ black and…gosh it’s so hard to pick one favorite color!!! I also really like a lot of the blue ones but I’m tired of people calling my daughter a boy. lol
I would have to say black… it would look great with so many things.

The best way to clean cloth diapers is to pre-rinse them off in the toilet using a Hand Bathroom Bidet Sprayer. So convenient and if you are trying to help the environment (and your pocket book) you can give it a double whammy by virtually eliminating toilet paper use by using it on yourself also. I’m not sure how many people know this but that is what they were originally created for. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: “if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn’t wipe it off with paper, would you? You’d wash it off” Available at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com they come in an inexpensive kit and can be installed without a plumber. Now we’re talking green and helping the environment without any pain. One review: http://jonathanandandrea.blogspot.com/2009/04/spray-it-or-scrub-it.html
