Just when I thought I knew what I would want in a cloth diaper {i.e. fleece lining, pocket diaper, etc.}, I was introduced to a brand that made their diapers different from what I had grown used to. And do you know, this diaper makes me want to own more like it.

I was recently sent the Swaddlebees One Size Simplex Cloth Diaper for review and I just had to choose the Owls print. When you see the photos, you'll understand why....too stinkin' cute. But upon receiving the diaper and getting past the "Oh, look how CUTE" of the diaper's exterior, I opened it up to find no fleece lining...or was there...?

The One Size Simplex diaper is lined with 100% cotton. It has an opening on each end of the diaper so that I can add inserts/doublers and they'll come out on their own in the wash. In addition, the diaper has its own doubler attached at just one end of the diaper. This can be folded under the cotton lining or it can be pulled out and laid across the top of the lining to expose a  stay-dry, microfleece layer to make the diaper soft and help baby feel dry. Now owners can have their preference of lining just by folding the doubler inside or on top!

I tuck the doubler in, preferring the cotton lining, and when I wash the diaper it comes out on its own The diaper is easily cleaned and dries faster this way. Yes, this is a diaper that goes right into the washer and the dryer. I love the ease of use here.

As I've said in the past, the beauty of a one size diaper is that I can get a custom fit for Mikayla as she grows without having to buy additional diapers and leave behind diapers she's outgrown. It's much more cost effective in the long run, in my opinion.

I highly recommend this brand and type of diaper to anyone, whether you've used cloth diapers forever or you're just starting out. This one is so easy to use, wash, and dry and I haven't had a single leak in the couple of weeks I've been using it. {Remember, cloth diapers are just like disposables in the way that they should be changed often. If a baby sits in the diaper too long, the diaper will fail.}

Here are some photos so you can see the diaper and how it fits.

Whether you're a weathered professional, a newbie {like myself}, or shopping for someone who prefers cloth diapers, you will most definitely like Go Go Natural. I was shopping around on the site recently and was impressed by the expansive stock of cloth diapers available as well as cloth diapering accessories. 

Right off the bat, let me tell you that you will find more than just cloth diapers there. In fact, Go Go Natural also sells items for baby, mom, home, and gifts! Yes. I'll wait here so you can go check it out for a minute.

...

Nice, right? 

Of the many types of diapers sold, I was sent the One-Size pocket diaper from DinkleDooz to review. I'm not sure what it is about this bright orange diaper with yellow snaps, but I really like grabbing this one from the stack for Mikayla to wear. Perhaps it's just because it matches her sunny personality so much. 



This diaper is lined with poly fleece and has a pocket at the back where inserts can be added. It's super soft and it seems like this diaper is really comfortable for Mikayla when she wears it.

This diaper came with 2, terry cloth inserts. One is shorter than the other but it makes it easier to target the area where I need to double up on layers without adding extra bulk through the whole diaper.


As for the inserts themselves, they are pretty absorbent. However, I find that these are not the kind of inserts I need to use when Mikayla is napping. She soaks right through them during a nap so she doesn't wake up too happy. It's really not a big deal for me, though. I just make a mental note to use this during the time she's awake so I can change her as soon as she needs it, thereby avoiding any leaks. 



This one size diaper truly will be with us for a long time. I think if it were opened all the way to its largest size, it would be too big for my {nearly} 3 year old. And when a single diaper can hang out with us that long, that equates to a lot of money saved on disposable diapers. 

Here's Mikayla rocking her Dinkledooz diaper. 





Yes, she's comfortable in it and yes, she has plenty of room to grow.

Please be sure to swing by Go Go Natural to see the many other brands and diaper types they sell. And if you may be interested in the brand I reviewed, you may also be interested to know they only costs $14.95 a diaper and come in 6 other colors
