Fall in Love with Handmade {Sponsor Spotlight} 4 oh 5 Fluff

cloth diapercloth diaper with snap in soakerLately, I've been a sucker for AI2 style diapers. Don't get me wrong, pockets still have a place in my heart, especially at bedtime but AI2s seem so much more convenient for my family. My hubby especially likes them because there is no stuffing involved. 4oh5 Fluff offer the option of both pocket and AI2 style diapers as well as the option of a trifold or snake style soaker. 

The diaper I was sent has a cute cotton outer, hidden layer of PUL, and inner layer of stay dry suedecloth. you can see for this diaper I was surprised with a half and half print of these cute pink whales and coordinating stripes. The snake style soaker is just a few layers of 4" x 28" organic bamboo fleece and is extremely soft, even after line drying. After folding there is a total of 8 layers of absorbency. Our diapers are only line dried at home so it's important to me that the fabrics used don't end up too crunchy.

There are two rows of snaps to ensure a good and proper fit on your little one. When combined with the 4 rise snaps the diaper allows you to use it from birth to potty training. 

My little girl is 20 months old and is super active. she has thicker thighs and a smaller frame so I am always excited to see diapers that have both wing and hip snaps so you can accommodate those different measurements. Right now, we are on the second to largest rise setting and have 2 snap spots open along the waist. The diaper itself has not leaked on us yet (even after wearing for upwards of 4 hours to really test it) and also provides a nice, slim fit.

  1. I wish I had had these when my youngest was a baby. She's 9 now :) She was allergic to every "cheap" brand of diapers and trying to find a sitter to use cloth---NOT HAPPENING. So I spent a FORTUNE on Pampers!!

  2. I love how thin the insert is and the fact that it can be doubled and even tripled for smaller babies. Plus it does not create excess fluff!

  16. I love the patterns, and I think it is a fantastic idea to use cloth. My children don't need diapers anymore, but my granddaughter was just born on Aug 28th, this would be fantastic for my daughter who is a student, and has a limited budget, even if they were used as a back up :) ty for the giveaway
