GIVEAWAY & Review for {CushyToosh} *CLOSED*

Cushy Toosh is a small American company {based in Wisconsin} that handcrafts cushy cloth diapers for your baby's bum.   And beyond just the cloth diapers, they also create diaper pail liners, eco-friendly {cloth} wipes and even diaper wipes solution {among some other non-CD products}!

We received one of their "Anytime Supremes" {a.k.a "CushyTOOSH Nite Nites}cloth diapers, which is a PUL pocket diaper with leg gusseting to help prevent leakage.  The first thing I noticed is that this is a different type of pocket than you're probably used to.  Unlike most other pocket diapers out there, there is no sleeve for you to stuff.  You simply place your liner/s into the center of the diaper, and the gussets on the inside of the diaper help keep it/them in place {from falling out of the diaper}.  This makes for some easy stuffing, which is a huge time-saver and will please Daddy if he's the designated stuffer in your house!

The one we received was velcro, but I did notice that Cushy Toosh offers both velcro AND snaps - your choice for the same price!  In my opinion there are pros and cons to each, of course.  Velcro is more convenient and quicker.  Snaps are more durable and offer no fuss during wash days {no folding tabs down, no sticking to other laundry}.  Now, as you probably know, I do tend to prefer snaps over velcro, but I will say that the Cushy Toosh diaper with the velcro we received has a very looooooooooong strip of velcro and super long and quite wide velcro tabs.  What does this mean for you?  Well, it's more secure and longer-lasting than typical velcro closures.  Obviously a perk with that feature when comparing it to other brands with shorter velcro tabs.  But like I said, whatever you prefer closure-wise, Cushy Toosh has you covered either way.

I do love that the liner that comes with the pocket diaper is an ultra soft cotton sherpa fabric.  It is very long, and so doubles over to fit inside the diaper, meaning more bang for your buck {it's like 2 liners in 1}.  What I don't like is that there is no layer in between the insert and your baby's bum.  Why do I think this may be a problem?  Because the moisture stays right there on baby's toosh instead of wicking it away, which can lead to rashes.  Now, that being said, personally we didn't encounter this; but if your little one's got really sensitive skin or having some acidic poops, this might be a problem for you.  And then again, maybe not.  Afterall, this is the same feature of fitteds and prefolds that just sit right up against their skin.

All in all, we were pretty happy with the diaper!  Our personal experience was that it lasted close to 8 hours during the night, before I noticed some leakage.  So it didn't quite make it through the night, but when talking to the owner of Cushy Toosh, she did advise that with her own son she used 2 of these liners AND an extra hemp one on the bottom.  It did fit our baby girl quite nicely, although the velcro at the top seems to want to "buckle" when putting it on.  I would say it's pretty standard for cloth diapers as far as the bulk factor goes, too.  And at just $18.95 a pop {insert included}, it's not a bad choice.  Especially considering they are made to last overnight ~ or, as in our case, last about 8 hours.   The Nite Nites also come in 8 color choices and 3 different sizes.  Cushy Toosh does, however, offer pocket diapers that are One Size Fits All {7-38 pounds}.  And better yet?  They offer all kinds of discounts and FREE DIAPERS for purchasing their pockets in quantities of 5 or more!

One thing we did unfortunately encounter were some of the stitching coming undone after the diaper being washed just 3 times.  I again spoke to the owner about this, and she informed me that she had sent me one of their earlier versions of the diaper, and she was aware of this problem.  She also told me that they have improved the diaper and that "the quality control has sped up 200%."  So if that's the case, you shouldn't encounter the stitching problem.  {I easily just restitched it in a matter of mere seconds, but if you aren't lucky enough to own {or know how to use!} a sewing machine, then that doesn't help you at all, of course}.
