{Snugs Boutique} Review & GIVEAWAY!

Snugs Boutique is a small Canadian shop owned by Andrea, the mother of a "very spirited" 2yo, in her own words! Andrea was so inspired by him that she started creating her own line of cloth diapers when he was just 6 months old {where does one find the time!?}. Her shop carries everything from one sized diapers to fitted ones, along with covers, wipes, inserts, "mama pads" and more!

Off first glance, I especially love that she carries some unique fabrics for her diapers. While there are plain, solid colored ones available, there are also some fab patterns in her fitted diapers for those of you who'd like a bit more spunk on your baby's bottom! This is an aspect that you usually just simply do not find in the big brands of manufactured cloth diapers {and if you do, they're usually significantly more expensive}.

Snugs Boutique sent us both a one size cloth pocket diaper in their mod chocolate brown color, along with a one size diaper cover in a baby blue. The Snugs Boutique one sized pocket diaper features different snap settings to allow for up to 3 different fittings to fit babies from about 10-35 pounds. That being said, we did try it one our newborn (8 pounds), and it fit just fine, so I think you can use it from birth, too {as long as they're not a tiny baby perhaps}. The diaper has Aplix (velcro) closure on top to ensure a snug fit around the waist, as well. Now I know I've always said I love the durability of snaps, but I have to also say that I {and especially my husband!} love the convenience, fit, and ease of using Aplix closures. My only concern, as usual, with Aplix is to see how long it lasts after many washes...only time will tell there. But so far, I'm really happy with this diaper!

The fitted pocket cloth diaper also features a super soft & lofty fleece interior, waterproof exterior lining and comes with an adjustable {via 2 different snap settings} microfiber insert. I especially love that the insert can be adjusted and will stay put with the snap settings! And did I mention it comes in 15 different color choices? Not too shabby....

When it came time to wash, we just removed the insert, and folded over the Aplix tabs {to keep them from sticking to everything in the wash!}, and we were all set to go. The diaper washed up beautifully, and might I also mention that there were no leaks ~ even with her being only 8 pounds!

We also tested out the Snugs Boutique one size diaper cover on our newborn {as you can see in the picture at right, she still has her "plug" in!}. Like their pocket diaper, the cover also features their signature snap settings to allow for up to 3 different sizes. The exterior is waterproof, of course, and the inner layer is a soft, plush lamb-like material. And this is certainly a unique feature for a cover because normally covers don't have any interior fabric. It proved easy to adjust to the proper setting I needed, kept all wetness inside and washed up perfectly, too.

The one sized cloth pocket diapers retail for just $16, and the covers for $8. These are great deals, considering they'll last you from birth to potty training! Also be sure to check out their adorable line of appliqued prefold diapers, if you're using those!
