Nifty Nappy Review and Giveaway

My youngest child is 18 months old and this is the first child that I have cloth diapered. There were so many reasons why I chose not to cloth diaper my first 3 children. The main concern is the hassle and headache that goes into finding a good diaper and cover. I didn't want to deal with wet sheets everyday, massive amounts of laundry and stinky diapers, even if they are clean. Boy, I have learned a lot in the past 18 months.

I started researching cloth diapers about 2 years ago and I found several that looked good but I was scared to make the investment and not be happy with the results. Oh, how right I was. I bought 3 different kinds of cloth diaper and only one didn't leak overnight, even with a cover. Where has Vilate and Nifty Nappy been all my life?

Vilate, the owner of Nifty Nappy, began making her cloth diapers with her first child but they were the bulky flannel with a sewn in soaker (not very attractive I would guess). With her second child, the diaper cause a rash and Vilate was forced to revert back to disposables. Disposables continued with the 3rd child. Luckly, Vilate met a woman who inspired her to make a different diaper with snaps that were stuffed with microfiber. Due to leaking issues, she discovered wool and VOILA! Organic hemp and bamboo are now used in the diapers which are absorbent and antibacterial.

HOW FABULOUS! I am in love with these diapers. I was sent a Nifty Nappy One Size Diaper and a Custom Nifty Knickers cover. But, I hit a speed bump at first. I only washed the diaper 2 times when I received it. I should have washed it 5 times. So, the first night was a soaker. After following the directions (haha) we used the diaper 5 nights in a row...don't worry I washed it in between. Every night after was a success. My Emma sleeps from 9pm til 7 am and usually drinks a cup at least once in the night(yeah I know...not a good idea). I didn't change her all night and no leaks. I am sold. And they are cute cute cute...She was already sleeping when I took these. She is a good sport.


She let me put her Knickers on...










<------This picture is great! She was asleep and I ask to take her picture and she popped up and smiled! How awesome! Is this diaper and these Knickers the cutest thing you have ever seen? But other than cute, there are so many benefits with this combo. With the OS Diaper, it fits babies 7-35 lbs. The wool material in the Knicker helps the child regulate their body temperature so the Knickers can be worn as pants in both the summer and the winter. They are custom measured for your child but Emma's were just about 2 inches longer than her leg which is great so she has some time to get to wear them. Care is easy. Vilate will send you some information but wash and dry the diaper 5 times before wearing. After that you can wash it with your other diapers. Allow to line dry. The Knickers can just be air dryed between wearings. They must be lanolized about once a month. All instructions will be included with your order. I really love my Nifty combo and feel it will last me well beyond potty training years. I love the fact the wool is absorbent and crystallizes the urine instead of soaking my sheets.
