BabyKicks Premium Pocket Diaper Review

I've been testing out BabyKicks Premium pocket diaper and I love it! It is a one size pocket diaper with side snaps. (They also have a velcro version.) It will fit from 7 pounds (YES it will fit your newborn! See video below.) to about 40 pounds. It has a water proof outer, fleece leg gussets, and a bamboo velour inner. The unique fleece leg gussets allow for air flow to help your babies bum breath. It's great for rashes and it helps regulate the temperature. It comes with a super absorbent one size JoeyBunz hemp insert. The insert is 6 layers of hemp/organic cotton jersey. You also get a stay dry liner which is great for naps, nights, or if your baby is sensitive to wetness. The pocket opening is at the front of the diaper. I love this feature especially when it's a soiled diaper. Makes clean up much easier! 


 The insert is a bit longer than the diaper which is great! You can fold it up to increase absorbency into the wet zone. 


 You can see the fleece gussets and how trim the diaper is! 



On my chunky monkey who is 5 months old. It's a great fit! 



 I put it on my almost 3 year old as training pants. They worked great! Easy to pull down and the inside of the diaper adds a little extra absorbency for accidents. 


You can buy these awesome diapers here. They are only $21.50 which is a great price for natural fibers. I think you will be very happy with your purchase of these diapers. Babykicks is an awesome company! Go like their Facebook page and show some support to a made in the USA company!
Here is the video that shows how to make the diaper fit on a newborn. It's ingenious!

Buns Up Baby Review and Giveaway!

Buns Up Baby is a One Size pocket diaper. It has a snap down rise like most OS diapers do. It comes with one microfiber insert. The diaper I received to review is minky on the outside with a PUL (waterproof) lining, and soft micro suede on the inside. It is made to fit babies who are about 8-35 pounds. 
My son is almost two and is a super skinny kid (maybe 25 pounds?). We had the best fit with the diaper snapped down all the way. That surprised me because he is usually on the second snap setting on every other OS diaper.  


It was pretty trim for a OS diaper (which I usually find a bit more bulky than sized diapers). We still got a good fit with the diaper snapped down on the second snap setting. I just found it had a little droopage in the butt when it was wet. 

The only down side to this diaper is that I do not think it would fit smaller babies very well. You may need to wait until your baby has some meat on their legs before putting them in this diaper. On the flip side, I do think it would fit larger babies better than other OS diapers as well. Other than that, the diaper was great! We didn't have any leaks and the fit was great. I don't usually like pocket diapers but I did like this one. I love the minky on the outside too! It is so soft.
The diapers are made in China but the Canadian based mom designs everything about the diaper. She makes sure they are perfect before they leave her door. They are only $9.99. You can buy her diapers (or even wetbags, diaper pail liners, and extra inserts) here.
