Rockabums #RockItUp Prints Release and Giveaway

Last October I posted a review of the Rockabums 1.0 diaper, and showed just how much I loved the fit on both my toddler and my youngest. They were a great fit, and were simple in colour (black, red, or white).

Well, all that is about to change! Rockabums 2.0 diaper has a different snap set up, a different fabric lining the inside of the cover (quick to wick away moisture and is hospital grade hypo allergenic), it has TWO openings for the pocket (front and back of the diaper), an extra layer of PUL (great news for tummy sleepers), and ..... wait for it....

PRINTS!!!!!!








Check out those beauties!!! 



The prints are available in snaps and aplix closure. I've posted the closeup of only the aplix, though you can see the snap closure prints in the picture below.

Rockabums is hosting a MASSIVE giveaway on their blog, giving away a birth-to-potty learning set of 9 covers, 18 inserts, and 60 hybrid inserts. Want to win? GO HERE TO ENTER and don't forget to put down Thoughts Of Fluff was the blog that sent you!

Just when you thought things couldn't get any better, they do! You have an additional chance to try out a rockabums 2.0 diaper cover in your choice of style and closure, and 2 inserts right here on my blog! Enter below!!

Rock-a-bums Cloth Diapers (and Giveaway)

Rock-a-bums diapers sent me one of their 5-in-1 diapers to review a while back, and I have had trouble writing the review because I keep wanting to say more about it. Honestly, I can't say enough how much I love this diaper! I started testing it on my youngest at 2 weeks old, but these pictures are of her a couple days shy of 2 months old. Needless to say, it fit fantastic RIGHT AWAY. As soon as her cord stump fell off, it was on her. I was in love!




The rise snaps took it small enough to fit a 2 week old, but they accomodate Bobble, too! The diaper fits both of my children well, and that's a rather large weight difference! (from first test, it was about a 25lb weight difference)



The diaper has a super soft inside (insert is topped with bamboo charcoal), and the outer material, while waterproof, still has a lovely stretchy quality to it. This helps me ensure I get a snug fit, but I know it's never too tight. The diaper I was sent had snaps, and the crossover snaps helped the diaper fit Squiggle perfectly.

I preferred to use the diaper as a pocket diaper, but that doesn't mean you can't use it any of the other ways they market! Check out their nifty 5-in-1 features here!

I tested this diaper a million different times and left it on longer (when just wet) to see how baby fared and how long it would take to get a leak. Since Squiggle sleeps fairly long stretches (3-4 hours for naps since a couple weeks old!), I have left it on for a nap, too. It has stood up to her gigantic EBF poos, multiple pees, and even a nap with... *drum roll* ZERO leaks. I've never had this diaper leak on me. Not on my new one, not on Bobble. I'm very impressed with it!

Rock-a-bums come in only 3 colours: Red, Black, and White. I love the simplicity of their colour options, as they really are all you need to match with any outfit for either gender! Everyone needs a "little black diaper"! Rock-a-bums also make matching wetbags.

So, I'm sure you want to know what the cons to this diaper are. Truth be told, there really aren't any. The diaper is super soft, works beautifully, has enough stretch to really accommodate any baby's body type, and are available in classic colours you can't go wrong with. If I could, I would love to have a stash featuring mostly Rock-a-bums and a couple of random diapers as opposed to the other way around. These really are fantastic diapers, and I am confident that, with the way they are designed, they will fit baby regardless of build.

Yes, this diaper fits BOTH of them!


If you want to buy a Rock-a-bums cloth diaper (regardless of how you want to use it!), head on over to Rock-a-bums store http://www.rockabums.com/shop/  and you can get one of these awesome diapers for $16.95.

Because Rock-a-bums rock so much, one lucky reader will win a Black Rock-a-bums diaper and wetbag!

Trying

I have been coming here daily (sometimes multiple times during a day) to write reviews. I have a handful of reviews from some lovely companies that sponsored the (Un)babyshower event that had to wait until Squiggle was here, and I have a few that are unrelated to the event that I need to type up. It's a lot more challenging than I would have though, though.

Some days I get very lucky and both kids end up napping at the same time. Then, other days, Bobble will skip his nap and be going crazy (meaning there is no way I could actually give the computer actual attention for more than a minute at a time, or he will run over to get attention [i.e. hit my computer or smash the keys]). Days like today, my littlest one will want to nap *ALL DAY*.... but refuse to sleep if I put her down.

I am ALL ABOUT babywearing... but it is hard to type when you have a little one on your front side. I have short arms (hey, I'm a short person!), and it just doesn't work well. That aside, she only likes being worn if we are moving. No sitting still and wearing for me!

This mini-entry is just being cranked out to let you all know why you haven't heard from me. Normally the youngest takes a good 2-3 hour nap, but today she hasn't pooped and so is not sleeping (out of my arms) for more than 5 minutes or so at a time. Speaking of 5 minutes, I'm pushing it since it's been about 7. I better get the diaper laundry switched over before she awakens!

To those fabulous companies who are waiting on my review(s), my apologies! I would encourage you, my lovely readers, to check out the companies and their web sites while I struggle to get the reviews written up. (I even have pictures done and everything, I just haven't had the opportunity to write the reviews out!)
