Bye-bye bumGenius! 3.0

The bumGenius! 3.0 diapers have been retired. We have a few left in stock and are making room for new things, so they are on sale for $16 each! Come get them before they're gone!



We are also lowering the prices of the old GroBaby stock. Just a few of each colour left!

New FuzziBunz Colours and GroVia Diapers

The new FuzziBunz colours are in and so CUTE!




We got our first shipment of GroVia diapers in this week and love them! Everything that wasn't *quite* perfect about the older GroBaby style has been improved. The soaker pads now have a PUL lining on the back (the fabric the outside of pockets and covers are often made of) which prevents the shells from becoming wet. The soakers now have gussets along the sides, preventing mess from spilling over the sides onto the covers. The shells themselves now have little straps to tuck the laundry tabs over, keeping them shut in the wash and preventing diaper chains!



We're expecting another shipment with more colours and snap closures in July, so stay tuned!

Rockin' Green

Mmmmm, can you smell that? Rockin' Green detergent is here, specifically designed for your cloth diapers. Mommies are raving about how clean their diapers are after using Rockin' Green. Try it for yourself!

Honeydumplings and Wonder Wraps!

We now have four patterns of Wonder Wraps in! These are a one-size diaper cover made by the wonderful people at the Natural Baby Company! Not only are they adorable, they save you money by only needing to buy one size of cover for the duration of your diapering years!

Also new and on their way here are Honeydumplings products! We are so very excited to be stocking these Canadian made baby mats and toddler pillows, even the hypo-allergenic buckwheat is grown in Canada! The soft organic covers and cases will be gentle on baby's skin and are machine washable.

Clearance!

Drybees Hybrid All-in-one diapers are now on clearance! Go to our site to pick up yours!

Busy, Busy!

So much is going on in our little shop!

We now have three types of one-size diaper in - bumGenius, GroBaby and FuzziBunz. I'm so excited, they're all so cool! My poor little boy is getting changed more often than he'd like so I can try out the new diapers and I have to say I LOVE them!

We've added a One-Size Puzzler Pack with all three for $74.95, so you can try them all out and save a bit of money too.

I'm also super excited about our trial kit! Now people can try out cloth diapers for 2 weeks to get a feel for using them and discover what brands work best without a big investment.

Claudia's Choices

We just got in a box of Claudia's Choices Laundry powder. Awesome stuff for all your clothes (particularly for those with sensitive skin), but perfect for cloth diapers. In fact, Bummis recommends it! No scents, enzymes or brighteners, nothing to build up on your lovely diapers :)

More new products are expected over the next two weeks, so keep watching!

Why Use Cloth Diapers?

When I told my friends I was going to be using cloth diapers on my son, they were perplexed. "That's a lot of work!" or "Ew, gross!!" Were the most common responses.

But I'm stubborn, and I had set my mind to it. I scoured the internet, learning everything there was to know about cloth diapers. What they're made of, how to wash them, what kinds were available. Slowly I learned the mysterious diaper jargon, along with abbreviations like AIO, PUL and FB. I placed my first order and waited excitedly for my first "fluffy mail". When my son was 2 weeks old, I had begun to get the hang of being a Mommy and I tried them.

Turns out, using cloth diapers wasn't a lot of work at all, and the gross factor isn't any worse than that of disposables. (I mean, you have to wipe that little bum no matter what it's pooped in, right?)

So, here are the reasons I love using my cloth diapers!

• No disposables in the landfill! (and no stinky disposables in the garbage can for a week until garbage day!)
  
• His little bum is covered in fleece, bamboo, or hemp and is covered in breathable fabric
  
• We have saved a ton of money
  
• They are so super cute!
• I don't worry about running out and having to run to the store for more. Ever.

How about you? Why do you love cloth diapers?

How Cute are These!

Daisy print Fuzzi Bunz!

They're just so cute I think I need to go have myself a little girl :)

We Love Dimpleskins!

We got in our first Dimpleskins order and love their products! Bum Bum Balm is my favourite, it's cloth diaper safe, so no need to use liners on our cloth diapers when little James has a rash! And it smells so good!

We have a few of the gift sets too, with sample sizes of Sweet Cheeks, Bum Bum Balm, Cradle Me, and a tube of Baby Lip Balm in a cute little box. Perfect for a shower gift!
