Laugh or cry?

I don't know what to make of this product I stumbled upon (thanks insomnia).

All the pictures look to be of babies in disposable diapers. I find this very intriguing because my daughter , who is almost 16 months old, spends most of her time at home in just a diaper. My older two children never took off their diaper and/or did anything with the contents.

In fact, I was swapping stories recently with a Mommy friend of mine about how our children pick out their own new diaper when it is time to be changed. We both use cloth diapers. Our daughters seem to be in love with their "fluff".


I can't imagine being in this situation as described on an eBay listing for a BUB;

I used to have to duct tape my daughter into her diaper!

Say what?!?



Have you ever seen this product? What do you think?

Have Mercy! Soaker Review & Giveaway

A few months ago, I had no idea what a soaker was. I would have guessed some sort of water gun...but never something that I would end up putting on my child.

According to eHow.com; "fleece diaper covers, also known as soakers, are a good way to keep a baby dry, especially at night. Because the fleece is waterproof, babies do not soak through to their clothes."

A friend of mine recently opened an etsy shop. One of the items she makes and sells is soakers.

Even though Athena wears a hybrid diaper, made by gDiapers, I still ordered her a Whooo's Adorable Fleece Soaker because I fell in love with the print. I figured I would work it into her wardrobe, one way or another, akin to the way us ladies buy shoes first....and the outfit later.

I created an etsy account - no longer an etsy virgin(!) and placed my order. Super easy to pay through paypal and I waited anxiously.

Back of soaker

I received my soaker later that week and was impressed. The workmanship is detailed and spot on. The fabric was so soft my daughter kept reaching down to touch it.

We recently started using cloth inserts in the gPants, with a Have Mercy! soaker on top at night. We have not had any leaks.

Now that I am starting to peruse the stores for warm weather clothes, I find myself looking for dresses for Athena to wear over the soaker. Who says a girl can't wear her soaker during the day? On lazy days when we don't leave the house, it is perfect with a t-shirt. Even my oldest daughter wants a soaker!

I ordered two more and can't wait to see what fabrics she uses next!

Do you g?

I am SO excited. gDiapers has come out with cloth inserts!! Ye-ah!!

They also have introduced everyday g's. These are a six-pack of gPants, 6 liners, & 1 swish stick. Three pairs of great orange and three pairs of genuine vanilla bean little gPants.


gCloth inserts baby!!!!!
gCloth inserts offer a washable and reusable option for gDiapers. They are designed specifically to fit soft little gPants so they don’t require any folding. They provide the same trim fit as biodegradable gRefills without giving up the absorbency. Six inserts per pack.

gCloth absorbs, naturally.
Two layers of soft 100% polyester micro fleece wick moisture away from baby’s bottom. Two layers of hemp/cotton hold moisture in.

Hemp doesn’t wear out, it wears in.
Hemp in particular becomes more absorbent with use so the more you wash gCloth inserts, the softer and more absorbent they become.

And…the best news yet…
Use this exclusive coupon code (g893Perkins) to get $30 off everyday g's six-pack!!! That brings the cost down to $40 for 6 gPants or a savings of $55.29!!!!! (if gPants were bought separately)

Don’t miss out – the coupon code is only good until midnight on July 31st!

Now get shopping!!!!

P.S. the little gPant pictured above (glory) is on sale for only $12.99 - perfect for the 4th of July!!
