Family Used, Mom Reviewed: Cute, Easy, and Affordable!!

My husband and I were not going to have any more children. Our oldest, Brooke-Lynn, is eleven and our son, Aiden, is nine. Back when they were little we slapped a disposable diaper on their bottom and out the door we went, on with our day. Now we have Molly. Molly is now almost 9 months old and a ball of energy. We started out using the disposable diapers, and then in September I decided I wanted to use cloth. My husband wasn’t on board at all to begin with. He went so far as to call me a hippie momma. Then he told me if I changed to cloth diapers I would be doing the diaper changes. I said “fine.”

I started to talk to other moms who used cloth. I asked for advice on where to start, what I would need, and about how much it would cost. It was pretty overwhelming! Then I discovered Nicki’s Best Bottom Diapers. I showed them to my husband and decided that is where I wanted to start. They were cute, they looked pretty easy, and they were so affordable!

My husband, still not sure of the whole thing, convinced me to order two covers and six inserts. So I ordered two of the snap shell (Strawberry Shortcake and Moo-licious), along with six of the stay dry inserts. I was so excited for them to arrive. I went out and bought some laundry detergent just for the diapers.

The first day they got here I made sure to get them washed right away so I could try them out. My husband was pretty impressed and asked me to show him how they worked. I snapped the insert in and we were off. That first diaper was on her for two hours. When it was time to change her everything was dry outside, and all I had to do was clean her, snap out the insert and toss it in a bag for laundry later. Then I wiped the shell and put in the new insert. On with the next diaper and we were ready to go. My husband thought the diaper fit well and was impressed with how easy it was. So much so that he started to help with changes. The only thing I noticed during changes was the snaps left little marks on Molly, but that changed as we played with the adjustment, which is just one of the great things about these diapers being able to fit from newborn to potty training.

Her first poop brought us a surprise. Molly always blows out the back, and side of her diaper. It was one of our biggest problems. However the extra gusset around the leg area kept her poop in. For some people that not may be a big selling factor, but for us it was. Not only did it keep the poop in, the insert came perfectly clean after going through a wash cycle. I was sold. Best Bottom Diapers became our go to diaper. It only took one day for me to be in love.

Another thing that made me fall for these diapers was the fact Molly’s onesies and pants still fit her well and didn’t leave her looking like she had a large bottom. That was one of the biggest things I read about (pants not fitting right) while doing my search for the cloth diapers.

The Best Bottom Diapers come in beautiful colors, when I bought mine there were no patterns, however know they have a cute giraffe print. We ended up stocking our Best Bottoms. We get by with 5 shells (2 snaps: moo-licious and Strawberry shortcake. Three hook and loop: cookies & cream, mint chocolate chip and blue moon.) Then we have 18 inserts! Like I said, "CUTE, EASY, AND AFFORDABLE!!."
