Jaq Jaq Bird Perfect Pouch Review

Jaq Jaq Bird Perfect Pouch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really wish I had this item when my kids were younger because I would have used them for so many little knick knacks that were all over my diaper bags... now that they are a little older though (4yr old and 7yr old), I use them for different things where before it would have been little toys to keep them occupied and/or snacks like cheerios... now i use them for crayons/paper on the go and for toddler kid snacks (it even fits juice boxes) and for MY STUFF!! =) i've used it to hold my coupons and store flyers when i'm out shopping because I've started this whole supercouponing thing also!
Anywyays, there are so many uses for this product and i love how they are SO durable. I LOVE that they are see-through so you know exactly what is in each one and I just got ones that have this really cute pattern on it! This is a great and essential product and I think that not only does it make you look organized and you know exactly where they are in your bag, it saves money and the environment from all those ziplock bags that i had used in the past...

12pack FuzziBunz Perfect Size Diapers - GIRL Colors SMALL Review

12pack FuzziBunz Perfect Size Diapers - GIRL Colors SMALL
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These diapers worked great when my daughter was a new born. Then, they started leaking like crazy overnight when she started sleeping longer (about 8 hours)! Even with two inserts stuffed in them, which are then super bulkey, which makes me worry about hip issues because she can't even close her legs properly. So, I emailed Fuzzibunz, and they sent me a totally new load- which now leak even worse, even during the day. The issue is, they changed the manufacturing of their fleece on the inside of the diaper. It doesn't wisk liquid away from the baby, the liquid sits on the diaper, and leaks out the sides/back. These are terrible. The company must not have done much testing on their new fleece. The old Fuzzibunz were ALRIGHT, but again... Still leaking issues. We were using a very gentile eco-friendly detergent and following all of their laundering suggestions. We recently went out and bought two different cloth diapers, which work MUCH better- NO LEAKS!! The one she slept in last night was Happy Hineys. She slept for 8 hours straight in this diaper and didn't leak at all! I was thrilled not to have to change all of her bedding and clothes at 3:30 in the morning for the first time in months! It was great. Then we had her in Bumgenis, which she slept in from 4-8 with no leaks... I highly recommend trying those two before you decide to waste your money on leaky diapers. These are the worst!

Planet Wise Diaper Wet Bag Review

Planet Wise Diaper Wet Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My son goes to daycare, and they were a little unsure about using cloth for him at first, but this bag (and Bumgenius AIOs) have convinced them that cloth is no harder than disposables! It meets the state DHEC requirements for them that all soiled clothing must be put into sealed bags and sent home each day. It is a good, generous size for him for a full day at daycare (he goes through anywhere from 5-8 diapers per day, and has room to spare in this bag)
His caregiver likes this bag more than his others. The zipper is easy, doesn't hang up, but her favorite feature is the snap-strap. She can snap it over a drawer handle right at their changing station, which keeps it off the floor and away from curious crawlers. (we use a link for the other one, still works, but this one is better) NO smells escape, so they don't put his bags outside the door, which they thought they would have to do. (the disposables in the pail are outside, and smell worse!)
The outer cloth and inner water-proof bag are two separate layers. When you wash this bag, it sort of goes inside-out and figuring out how to dry it was tricky for me, at first. I figured out that if you put the liner part back into the outer shell, and zip it half-way, you can just toss it in the dryer on medium (how I dry the diapers), or just hang it on the line outside, with the handy snap-strap handle!
Awesome wet bag! I have 6, and always reach for this one first! My absolute favorite, hands down!!!

Charlie's Soap Powder - 2.64 lb (80 Loads) Review

Charlie's Soap Powder - 2.64 lb  (80 Loads)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
About a year ago I was desperate. I was trying so hard to find something that would get my husbands uniforms clean. He is a garbage man and comes home covered in so much mistery grime it isn't funny. I had tried Tide, All, store brands, and every type of color safe bleach and pretreater out there. Nothing worked. His work clothes would still be heavily stained, and there were times he would come home on a rainy day saying his clothes reaked as soon as they had gotten wet.
I decided to do net search. I came across a lot of posts from diaper sites saying how great Charlie's was and how clean everything came and how well it removed the smell. Although I was not in search of a diaper detergent, I figured if it could clean those well enough maybe it would work for my problem. I went to their website and checked out their products and the information on them. I am so happy I did.
Charlie's truly does clean. My husband's clothes come out virtually stain free. Which is not bad considering what he gets on himself. The odor problem stopped too. I can use it on all of our laundry from delicates to play clothes, so there is no need for me to have multiple products lying around. It is made to work in Regular or HE machines, so when I switched my machines I did not have to find a new brand.
Other added benefits are: you do not need fabric softener, it is one of the safest detergents on the enviornment, it actually helps keep our clothes almost like new, and it is absolutely awesome for our sensitive skin. In addition to that, it safely maintains the flame retardency of childrens sleep wear and maintains the properties of many other types of working gear as well. It is also very cost effective. It costs less per load than All, Tide, Seventh Generation, and many others. You will also get a better clean than you would with any of the afore mentioned.
The company is also extremely customer orientated. They still practice the almost gone tradition of actually caring about their customers. With any purchase they offer free literature giving advice on hard water, diapers, and first time users (if ordered through them directly). Just make sure you check what literature you need on their order form. They will also answer any questions you may have.
Many have not heard of Charlies. Many will ask if it is so great why isn't advertised nation wide. Well, they are an old fashioned company. They believe word of mouth is far more important than some fancy expensive advertising gimic. Anyone can advertise anything, but only the best products achieve gradual fame through word of mouth. Charlie's Soap is one of those products.
I have tried other detergents that claim to do what Charlies does. One of those being Country Save, but there is nothing I have found that cleans as well as Charlie's soap.
I know it seems I am really excited about this product. Well, I am and I always will be. For the first time, I found a product that does what it says it does. "It really cleans." When was the last time you could say that about a product?
I urge you to give this a try. Whether you are very enviornmentally conscious, want your clothes really clean, have sensitive skin, are in the military and can not use optical brighteners, or just want your money's worth, than this is for you. You've got nothing to lose by giving it a try.

FuzziBunz® One Size Cloth Diapers 12 Pack Gender Neutral NEW Colors with Bonus Dainty Baby Reusable Bag Review

FuzziBunz® One Size Cloth Diapers 12 Pack Gender Neutral NEW Colors with Bonus Dainty Baby Reusable Bag
Average Reviews:

I ordered these diapers through Amazon from Dainty Baby and was surprised when the colors in the package were very different from those shown. There are no blues included in the gender neutral package for example, and I received many brown and white diapers which aren't shown here. I contacted Dainty Baby, who had great customer service and they agree right away to let me exchange some of the colors. They say they'll try to have the listing revised but currently don't have full control over which images are shown by Amazon. Again, Dainty Baby were wonderful to deal with, but I wanted to mention it in case it happens to others.

Nature babycare Biodegradable Disposal Bags for Diapers, 50-Count Disposable Bags (Pack of 15) Review

Nature babycare Biodegradable Disposal Bags for Diapers, 50-Count Disposable Bags (Pack of 15)

I actually use these bags for cleaning the cat litter box. The bags contain the odor well and are durable enough to hold a lot of heavy clumped litter. They work well for other small jobs too: picnic trash, and yard pickup for example. I'm sure they will work fine for diapers too.

It took a concerned Swedish mother to make it. Marlene Sandberg, a former law partner and mother of two boys. "I started my company with the determination to make a high-performance diaper that was more friendly to nature and healthier for the child. Nature Babycare is all of that." After many years of intense work and development, Marlene has created a range of products to include eco-friendly diapers, eco-friendly baby wipes, Eco-bags for disposing our diapers, nursing pads, bibs, and skin-care for babies which are all made from renewable and biodegradable ingredients. So now moms can be rest assured, when they buy Nature Babycare, they are caring for the environment and their child. Marlene, "I don't believe in compromises or shortcuts. If you want an ECO-friendly diaper to be successful, it must perform at least as well or better than the best 'traditional' diapers."
Why We're Award-Winning Our diapers and pull-on pants are over 60-percent biodegradable in contrast to major brands which are often composed of up to 80-percent oil-based products which do not decompose easily. Conventional diapers can take hundreds of years to decompose, but because of the high content of bio-degradable material, ours break down in a fraction of that time, meaning there's less need for landfill or polluting incineration. We keep oil-based plastics away from babies delicate skin and use natural, breathable corn-based materials instead. Our patented center-channel reduces the need for bulky absorbent material while enhancing leak protection. Nature Babycare Diapers are 100-percent chlorine-free, protecting the environment by not producing harmful dioxin pollution. With features such as stretchy tabs and leg gatherings, a soft cloth-like feel, and non-bulky absorbent pulp, we've created an award-winning diaper that performs ahead of the rest. Our wipes are completely free of chlorine and are made from a biodegradable wood pulp sustainably harvested from our own Scandinavian forests. We chose to use purified water fresh from the lakes and added aloe vera for softness. Our wipes are hypo-allergenic, contain no alcohol and are 100-percent chlorine-free. We even use 100-percent biodegradable packaging based on natural corn chalk. Nature Babycare has been awarded "Best Baby Wipes" for 2006-2007 by Mother & Baby Magazine.
What Makes Us Unique Other diapers can claim to be green but still use massive amounts of oil-based plastics. As a mum, our founder knew there had to be a better way to make diapers. That's why we've spent many years perfecting our diapers by eliminating as much non-biodegradable materials as possible while maintaining performance and comfort. We also use an absorbent pulp that is sustainably harvested out of Scandinavian forests. Our diapers are completely unbleached, contain no latex, fragrance, or TBT (tributyltin), and are hypo-allergenic.
As with any diaper, for maximum performance, when your baby reaches the upper limits of the weight class, we recommend that you switch to the next larger size.

I'm a fairly new cloth diaper user - I'm going on about three weeks with my four week old (we did disposables for the first week or so). I use both the Fuzzibunz and the BumGenius - I must say I LOVE the Fuzzibunz. They are a bit bulkier, but the absorption seems to be better, the ability to adjust - though a pain at first - is better. I am very pleased with the Fuzzibunz......

These inserts are just as good as the old kind. I was really reluctant to buy them after they were so poorly reviewed. Maybe I have had more success because if it's a #2 diaper, I dump what I can into the toilet before the diaper goes into the pail... Don't throw away your diaper dekor! I think these are fine.
