The first time I laid eyes on a Moraki Cloth Diaper was at the ABC Kids Expo back in October. Their beautiful, bright colors and prints drew me in, and after learning about the brand, I knew we had to carry them at Nicki's Diapers! A little bit about Moraki - They are a mama-owned and operated company. All of their products are sewn right here in the USA, California to be exact! They back their products up with not only an 18 month warranty, but also a 30 day wash and wear guarantee! They also have phenomenal customer service. When you email them with any sort of question, they are incredibly friendly and helpful!
Now, onto the fun stuff... the diapers! They have 2 types of diapers, an all-in-one and an all-in-two/pocket. Both diapers feature impeccable workmanship! They fit approximately 7-40 pounds and adjust with rise snaps in the front. Both also have a strip of PUL at the front, which when it comes to cloth diapers for my tummy sleeper, this is a MUST! No wicking at all!
The One-Size All-In-One is lined with incredibly absorbent hemp/organic cotton. While no stuffing is needed, there is a pocket that you could use to stuff additional absorbency in if you needed it for nap or overnight. The hemp/organic cotton soaker is sewn at the top of the diaper and forms a loop for quick dry time. You fold it to change where you need your absorbency. For a boy, I would fold it with the bulk of the absorbency in the front, and for a girl I'd put the bulk of the absorbency in the middle.

The One-Size All-In-Two/Pocket is lined with super soft fleece and has a pocket you can stuff the included thirty hemp/organic cotton insert into. This will keep baby feeling dry. If you prefer to use the diaper as an all-in-two, simply lay your hemp/organic cotton insert on top and change the insert out when wet or soiled.
The fit on my 30 pound 2 year old was amazing! Nice and trim and not a single leak, even with his super-soaking tendencies! If you're looking to try something new or want a super-cute color or print to add to your stash, I highly suggest giving Moraki a try! Would you like to enter to win one?

When it comes to cloth diapering, my family has tried it
all. That means two things: first, I know exactly what works for us and what
doesn’t; second, I’m always interested in trying new stuff to augment or
improve our diapering regimen. So, when
I saw that Nicki’s Diapers had released a signature line of diapers, I figured
I’d give them a try. We’ve used a number of similar all-in-one and pocket diapers,
so it was pretty easy to judge the diapers not only on their own merit, but how
they compare to similar products.
The first diaper we tried was the Nicki’s all-in-one diaper,
which features a bamboo lining and snap in liner. My first impression was that
the bamboo lining extended too far to the exterior of the diaper, and that
leakage would be a concern. However, the roll in legs were easy to adjust and upon using the
diaper, I found the opposite to be the case. After a month of using this diaper
I’ve had not a single leak, neither from my skinny 2 ½ year old (who wets like
it’s a competitive sport) nor from my more Buddha-esque 1 year old. Almost as
importantly, the dyed bamboo has been good to both of my girls’ sensitive skin,
and the diapers are slim and easy to put on (tantrums notwithstanding,
naturally). The snap out liner makes the
diaper easier to dry than some all-in-one competitors, which is nice now that
winter is coming and the clothesline is going to become less usable. Bottom
line: these diapers are now fully in the rotation, and are a go-to for a
last-second diaper bag stuffing. Whether you’re just starting cloth or a vet,
these are a good buy.
We’re not a family that uses a lot of pocket diapers. They
tend to require more labor on a use-by-use basis
than either my husband or
myself are interested in investing. One of the nice improvements in the Nicki’s
pocket is the presence of openings in the front and the rear of the diaper.
Once you stuff the insert, you can forget about it, as the agitation of your
washing machine will pull the insert out while it’s washing (of course if you
don’t use a washer, your mileage will vary some). The microfiber insert is
fantastically absorbent, and allows the fleece lining to stay dry against
bottoms, even for our competitive tinkler. In the fit department, these diapers
seemed to fit our on our Buddha baby’s legs better than the beanpole, but again
there was no leaking to speak of. While this diaper did not make pocket
converts out of the family, it is still a solid product, priced and designed as
good or better than the competition.
Overall, the Nicki’s signature brand is off to a great start. The diapers are available in a number of
vibrant shell colors (as well as a couple of prints), and are a good value, as
they are competitively priced and are easily adjustable, meaning that your kids
can wear them from birth to potty training.
Yesterday Imagine Baby Products released 2 new products to their economical and bullet proof cloth diapering line. In this blog post, I'm going to tell you about the features of the new Imagine One-Size Stay-Dry All-in-One and tell you why I think every cloth diaper stash needs a few of these on hand!
At first glance, the Imagine One-Size Stay-Dry All-in-One looks like any other all-in-one diaper. It's completely waterproof on the outside, offers a snap up and down rise in the front to fit babies 8-35+ pounds and is available in snap or hook & loop closure. Open it up and you'll find out what sets this diaper apart and makes it a smart buy!
The entire inner of the Imagine One-Size Stay-Dry All-in-One is lined with super soft polar fleece. This means your baby has only the most gentle material touching their skin. The 4 layer microfiber soaker pad is extremely absorbent and is also topped with the same polar fleece to wick away moisture and keep your little one feeling dry. The insert is snapped into the front. That means that no matter what snap rise you use, the absorbency will be where you need it to be. This also keeps the diaper nice and trim fitting in the back, which can sometimes be a difficult feature to find in a one-size diaper!
Something very unique about the Imagine One-Size Stay-Dry All-in-One is that you can utlize other snap-in inserts from the Imagine Baby Product line. One of my favorite options is the new and improved Imagine Bamboo Soaker Pads. Snap one of these babies in your Imagine One-Size Stay-Dry All-in-One, lay your stay-dry soaker on top and you've got a GREAT overnight diaper! Bonus: Because the absorbent soaker pad is removable, washing the diaper in a piece of cake! No stinkies from sewn in absorbency and the insert can be deep cleaned if build-up or yeast were ever to occur.
Why is this diaper a must-have for any cloth diaper stash? This no-frills diaper is easy for anyone to put on your baby! Babysitters, grandparents, and spouses that are hesitant to use cloth diapers will find this cloth diaper just as easy to put on as a disposable diaper. There is no stuffing, folding or removing of inserts. These also make the perfect diaper bag diaper. No other pieces to remember with this diaper, toss one in your diaper bag and you're set! Finally, this diaper is so reliable that it would be a great diaper to build your entire diaper stash from! A cloth diaper newbie would feel confident using this diaper!
It gets even better, for a limited time the Imagine One-Size Stay-Dry All-in-One is on sale for only $10.95! That's an unheard of price for a top quality All-In-One. Grab some to try out risk free, our 15 Day Wash Program insures that you'll get full store credit if you don't love it (but we know you will!).

I had the opportunity to review a new bumGenius Freetime All-in-One and I even get to share one with you! My first impressions were good -- the Albert print I chose is ADORABLE. My husband and I are a little on the geeky side, and even he commented on how cute it is.
I was impressed by how trim the diaper is, even for an all-in-one. The way the inserts are attached and layered makes them spread out for coverage and gets tons of agitation and air flow in the washer and dryer. Some of my other all-in-ones take forever to dry, but this was done with my regular inserts! I definitely feel like there's enough absorbency with the multiple layers of microfiber too, even with my heavy wetter.
The fit was great on my two year old -- the bumGenius stretchy side tabs and trim diaper combined to give a great snug fit. On a smaller baby, the layers can be folded to put them right where they're needed. (I apologize for the lack of pictures, my kids have been sick and the shots I got of him in the diaper were pretty sad-looking!) Overall I really like this new design -- and you have the opportunity to win one, too! (Choice of color and closure depending on availability.)
