Tobie's Trousers Cloth Diapers - Review & Giveaway (closed)


Cloth Diapers made cute! What you say?? It's true, diapers can be cute and work great - you just have to find the right ones. That's why I'm hear to tell you about Tobie's Trousers Cloth Diapers. They are absolutely adorable, work just as good if not better than a lot of the cloth diapers I've used and what better than helping support a mom's dream of working at home making diapers? I really can't think of much better that that when looking for something fantastic! You can read more about how Tobie's Trousers got started here.

I had the great privilege of reviewing one of Tobie's diapers and I don't know how other people are, but out of my different types of diapers your inner self knows which ones you really like because when you're in a hurry, or you know you won't get to get the little one changed as soon as usual you usually grab those diapers that you know won't let you down. Maybe that sounds silly to you, but that's how this girl rolls! Well, I honestly reach for my Tobie's Trouser diaper all the time. It fits great and doesn't gap which is great because we have no leaks. At first I didn't like exactly where the slit was for inserting the stuffer (we use prefolds), but after talking to Tobie (who is fantastic to work with, and is willing to answer and help you out with anything) I found the easiest way to get the insert out and it's nothing. The Velcro was another thing I was a bit leery about but it was just something I wasn't used too. It's really easy to take care of though, especially with the laundry tabs that keeps them from sticking to other things. Yes my daughter can get it off because of the Velcro, but she can do that with anything Velcro so we just stick to wearing bloomers or pants when using it. Honestly though - she almost always wears something over the diaper, but it's so stinking cute that sometimes we don't mind it flashing off a bit. You can read more about Tobie's diapers here! I like too that these aren't super expensive and if I'm going to spend the money on something that's going to work, it's great to support a WAHM! She also has cute boy and girl gift sets available as well - what a great gift idea for cloth diapering parents. I know I can never have enough diapers, especially great ones! Also I know some people don't like pocket diapers because of the smell, I have used this diaper over and over again and have had absolutely no odor what so ever and the cute material still looks just as vibrant as the day we got it.

Now, maybe you aren't a cloth diapering parent - Tobie's Trousers makes ring slings as well and we all know how great slings are? I honestly can't live without mine. It's never to early to start thinking Christmas people!! Are you thinking of someone that you'd love to get this for, or maybe yourself?

My husband and I like the pink butterflies cloth. Our little girl looks so cute in darker colors (got that from her daddy) so this one is our favorite.

I added you button to my blog a few days ago as I love your reviews on everything (you find the cutest stuff) and I wanted to share it with all of my mom friends that had babies around the time that I did (we are part of a forum).

I like the jungle print. I don't cloth diaper, but I hope to once we live somewhere that comes with W/D hookups.

Kristen said...

Oh I have been wanting to try cloth diapers for our next child and this would be fab! I love the baseball print for boys and the pink butterflies for girls, and of course the ducks and handprints are adorable too. To hard to choose.

I love the fabric with the multi colored dots.

Jennifer said...

I like the black with flowers one the best. I think that would match the highest number of outfits in my daughter's closet.

Kathleen said...

I like the Bones print. I could definitely use one as my little boy is outgrowing his other diaper covers. Thanks for sharing this find.

Brandy said...

I like the pink stripes. They are so cute. Thanks for such a great giveaway.

Tobie's diapers are totally awesome!! I use them for my one year old. He looks cute, helps the environment, and saves me money all at once. YEAH!!! :)

Sabrina said...

I've used Tobie's Trousers for both my kiddos (night time underwear for my 2 year old) and full time for my 3 month old. I LOVE them - the quality is amazing. I was just on her site and she has dropped her prices to $12.50 a diaper right now. Gotta love a Deal!!!

I love the rubber duck print.I am from the UK originally and they are into cloth diapers over there, but never took the time to do it with my boy as I was too stressed.

roberta said...

hello - thanks for the contest. My fave is the footprints pattern - they are so cute and there is a big choice.

I like the black with flowers but I thought it was for a boy. Since it says it's for a girl, I would pick Rubber Duck for my little man!

Qtpies7 said...

I think I would get the blue with brown dots or the Sesame Street one for my little guy.
I don't know why people would think pockets smell, they get cleaner easier than all in ones any day. That is why I use them!

Genevieve P said...

I think Pink Butterflies is my favorite--but they're all very cute!

bison61 said...

I picked the Sesame Street design

heacollins said...

I like these diapers. They look comfortable and well constructed. I like that you can add layers for extra absorbency too. Cloth diapering is much better for the environment, and better for baby's skin too.

There are so many cute designs, it is hard to choose.

I like the Polka Dot Diaper, the Pink Butterflies, Jungle and of course the Rubber Duck.

But I think I would choose the Bees, because it's so cute and we need to support the bees!

Sweetpeas said...

The bees fabric is my favorite.

I like the black with flowers.

i like the sesame street and blue with bubbles on flannel fabrics

Tammy and Parker said...

We've had to have custom cloth diapers made to go over Parker's ostomy bag.

But after his next surgery he will be able to wear 'regular' cloth diapers!

Yea!

Our favorite print is the Jungle Flannel.

I like the Pastel Stripes Flannel, I think this would be great for potty training my daughter!

Diaper Bag Diarist said...

I love the pink butterflies fabric! I cloth diaper my daughter and love it. I bought a variety of brands/styles since I had no clue what I'd like. You're right. There are certain ones I reach for first.

wayfarer said...

I like the blue bubbles. Too cute!

EG said...

Bees!

Mickie said...

I'm a cloth diaper mom and loving it! Thought DH was crazy when he first suggested it before our baby was born but he converted me. Love the Rubber Duck one! Too cute!
