Squishy Baby Diaper Co. - Organic Bamboo Fleece Cloth Diaper Review & Giveaway US 3/11

Squishy Baby Diaper Co. specializes in bamboo fitted cloth diapers. With their of making every baby comfortable while diapering them in natural and absorbent fibers!

Apple Green OBF 

 One Size Apple Green OBF Fitted Cloth Diaper ($28ARV) fit babies from approximately 8 pounds up to 35 pounds. They were created to be a soft and absorbent as well as long lasting and squishy diaper. This diaper is made with 2 layers of Organic Bamboo Fleece (OBF) as the shell with a layer of Organic Bamboo Velour (OBV) as the inner layer which goes against baby's bum for the ultimate softness.Turned and top stitches with a coordinating thread makes the elastic casings soft and gently hugs baby's thighs, this is to prevent red marks and irritation to baby's skin. This diaper is also made with a 4X2 snap down rise which allows a custom fit to your baby no matter their age or shape. With the cross over wings you can get a nice snug fit on even teeny tiny newborn bellies.

Doublers

Each Squishy Baby Diaper comes with 3 lay-in doublers. Going off of my photo above, the doublers from left to right. All the way to the left is the contoured doubler which is made with 3 layers of super heavy organic bamboo fleece and is the bottom layer doubler. The small tear dropped shaped doubler next to it is the "middle wet zone double" and is also made with super heavy organic bamboo fleece. The one to the right of that is the "top contour doubler" which is made with 2 layers of super heavy organic bamboo fleece and one top layer of organic bamboo velor for ultimate softness against baby's skin. These three doublers make 12 very thirsty layers of bamboo making this a great diaper for heavy wetters and even those who struggle to find a night time solution, which is actually what Alicia kept in mind while designing this diaper.  

Towards the front for diapering a boy.

I love the small tear drop shaped doubler as you can place it towards the front of the diaper if you have a little boy or in the middle if you have a little girl, allowing you to fully customize the absorbency of this diaper! Place the soaker in the wet zone for your child, not where it is sewn in and can't be adjusted.

In the middle for diapering a girl.

Super easy to customize and get the best absorbency from this diaper! One of my favorite for nap and bedtime due to this feature in the soakers!


I also received an additional doubler booster which is the rounded rectangular one which is laid on top in the photo above. We usually do not need to use all four doublers, however we do sometimes if Ezio has had a lot to drink, just for added protection, plus the diaper really isn't all that bulky even with all four doublers in the diaper.





Above is an example of the diaper with all four of the doublers inside. Not too bulky at all, especially for how absorbent and squishy this diaper is!


Fit & Our Thoughts

Ezio is two year old and just under thirty pounds as well as thirty inches tall. This diaper fits him perfectly, even around his chubby little thighs! Since using this diaper a few times I have found that I can reduce the bulk in the front of the diaper if I snap the rise snaps down one, although as you can see we still get a good fit either way. The waist snaps can cross over, however I tend to give him a little more leeway in the belly area as he does have a little buddha belly, especially when he sits down so comfort is in my mind while putting diapers on him. 

I think my jaw may have dropped to the floor when I pulled this organic bamboo fitted diaper out of the package and felt how unbelievably soft and squishy it was! I knew right away that it would definitely be more then absorbent enough. I'm pretty certain that if the wings were a bit longer and it would fit nicely on Cade, my heavy wetter three year old son, that it would most definitely hold up for him overnight! Ezio has worn this diaper for nap and bedtime as well as during the day. I have never needed to use a cover with diaper and even with only one or two soakers in the diaper for daytime use it's not even soaked through the doublers by the time I change him. He could probably wear this ONE diaper ALL day long and hardly dampen the outer of the shell. I've also discovered that I could probably just take out the wet doubler and put a clean/dry one in and he could wear this one diaper through out the day that way as well, however, I'm not quite sure how hygienic that would be... on the other hand wouldn't that be similar to using a prefold and cover? I'm not sure and with his sensitive skin and eczema, I don't want to risk it just yet, I'm still loving this diaper! 

I absolutely love the absorbency of this fitted diaper as well as the fact that it is made with all organic bamboo fibers, which is all perfect for his skin as well as all other babies delicate skin. The adjust-ability/customization you're able to do with the doublers is also a huge plus!
