Yesterday I published my super-duper Ones & Twos review.  In short, the price is right, the trimness is unmatched, and the colors are great.  For us, the leg openings were a bit too tight but that just means it will work better on a skinny baby!

Ones & Twos USA would love for a DDL reader to get to try one of their brand new diapers! That is why you should enter on the handy, dandy Rafflecopter form below. There are lots of ways to enter! Open to US/Canada. Ends February 21.  Thanks Ones & Twos for this great giveaway!

I was just recently introduced to the Incredibum brand.  Their diaper offers bamboo soakr pads, many snap options on the waist, and a 3 step rise adjustment system.  I have a video and review of the diaper already up.

This diaper has turned into a nice alternative to fitteds and covers to suit our overnight diapering needs.

Incredibum has offered to let one lucky DDL reader in on the fun as well by sponsoring a giveaway!  Just fill out the Rafflecopter form below.  Open to US and Canada and ends 2/3.

I’ve heard many of my readers sing the praises of Jack Be Natural- an online cloth diaper retailer based in Charlotte, NC.  I’m already a fan since they are based out of my college town!   I’ve seen their website transform from a functional webstore to a gorgeous, well designed, easy to navigate shop with a lot of choices for parents who cloth diaper or want to find more natural products.  I love seeing the growth in the industry and seeing this store mature has been very exciting and I’m happy for the Jack Be Natural family!

After browsing their store I was able to find quite a few items that are personal favorites.

Bamboobies Nursing Pads

bumGenius Elemental AIO

GoGreen Champ 2.0

Boba 3g in Kangaroo Print  (I have this print and LOVE it, and the carrier)

And while you might not be able to buy a Boba if you win this giveaway, you could find a nice cloth diaper (or 2) or a few toys or nursing pads!  That’s right, a lucky DDL Reader is going to win a 25.00 giftcard to Jack Be Natural!  Even better- Jack Be Natural Ships for Free!

All you have to do is enter in the Rafflecopter form below. Open to US and Canada.  Ends 1/29 at midnight. Good luck!

Ecobubs Wool Pocket diapers are just about as cute as they come.  They look very unique and are a stylish addition to any cloth diaper stash.

I am so excited to host a giveaway from Ecobubs Diapers for 1 Ecobubs Pocket, 2 inserts, and an organic cotton Ecobubs T-Shirt.

Because these diapers are from New Zealand they need to be imported and distributed to the US Market.  Thankfully GrinUnlimited has taken the challenge to bring this unique product stateside.

As a 2nd time mother to a newborn, I wanted to make the switch to cloth diapers.  I tried several brands and came across a little gem in New Zealand called Ecobubs.  They quickly became my favorite and the other brands I purchased began to collect dust on the changing table.  I was so excited about this amazing little striped “nappy” I found myself wanting to tell the world about it, whoever would listen!  That’s how Grin Unlimited was conceived and the motto of our store was born.  “We love it so much we share it.”

Grin Unlimited is run by a mother/daughter team. The great thing is that, even though the diapers themselves are imported, the inserts are sewn in the US.

Now that you are drooling over this diaper and have seen my review, go ahead and enter using the form below. There are lots of ways to enter. Contest is open to US and Canada and ends 1/16.

When I reviewed Megaroo’s Extended Tab Prefolds many months ago I found a new love (you can view my review/video here).  I like prefolds but I ALWAYS have trouble getting enough fabric around the waist.  If you are using a snappi to close the diaper, like most people do, then having more fabric is just what you need.  Megaroo’s Extended Tab Prefolds are the SOLUTION to this.  You can get a better fit, and save yourself a headache when trying to apply the prefold.  Halleleujah!

Megaroo’s ETPF used to be hard to come by and would need to be “stalked” but now with more help and a new website you can now find them in stock more often and she is open for customs.  Right now in-stock items can be found on their HyenaCart and custom orders can be placed on their website. I really want a few teeny tiny ones if I ever have baby number 3, as I know they will be such a great newborn diaper.

And don’t just take my word for it- Megaroo’s have GREAT reviews on The Cloth Diaper Finder with 100% of reviewers saying they would buy them again!

Lucky for you, Megaroo’s is giving 1 lucky DDL reader 2 of their Au Naturel ETPF’s.  The winner will choose the size and Boy/Girl?Gender Neutral for the stitching. Giveaway is open to US and Canada and ends January 6 2012!

It is December and that means that the new prints from bumGenius will be arriving at retailers very soon.  One such retailer, Dearest Diapers, is so excited that they wanted to host a giveaway with DDL!  One very lucky winner will get a bumGenius 4.0 in either the dainty and modern Lovelace or the smart and fun Albert.  Either choice won’t do you wrong, they are both incredible prints!

Dearest Diapers is a newer cloth diaper retailer whose tagline is: “Cloth with Love.”  I’m a little bit in love with that!   Of course it goes swell with their store name “Dearest Diapers.”

At Dearest Diapers you will find many well known brands of cloth diapers, like bumGenius, Rumparooz, and GroVia.  You will also find some others you might not be familiar with, including Smart Snugs (I just reviewed their One Size Pocket), and Oeko Popo (I will be reviewing those soon.)

Shipping in the US is free on purchases over 25.00.  It is almost impossible not to spend 25.00 when cloth diaper shopping!  They even offer a layaway option which is fantastic for a family looking to get started with their cloth diaper stash!

Thanks to Dearest Diapers I will get to give one lucky DDL reader a new bumGenius print!  Please enter using the Rafflecopter form below.  This giveaway is open to US AND Canada (woo hoo) over 18.  Ends December 30.

Sometimes your diapers are so cute you don’t want to cover them up! That is where Baby Legs come in handy! You can enter to win an organic pair in your choice of Boy/Girl or Gender Neutral at the bottom of the post.
This giveaway is courtesy of Buttercup Baby-a brand spankin’ new online shop!

Brainchild of Audrey Marandino- Buttercup Baby came to be after baby Sophia was born and mom wanted to share her passion for cloth diapers and work from home in order to spend more time with her family.

While the shop is new they are already carrying some fabulous brands and products like Ruby Moon, Baby Legs, and Fuzzibunz cloth diapers.

I LOVE Baby Legs!  They are the perfect cloth diaper accessory and are an excellent way to keep those legs warm while practicing Elimination Communication.  I also like to layer them under pants during the winter months when I am babywearing since I KNOW my little guy’s pants will hike up, leaving bare skin exposed.

Right now to celebrate Buttercup Baby’s Grand Opening Baby Legs ship FREE!  This is a good time to snag a  few pairs and save the cost of shipping!

To enter the giveaway for a pair of Organic Baby Legs use the Rafflecopter form below.  Open to US only.  Ends December 26 at midnight.

I just love giving diapers away, especially ones that work so well!  I posted my review of the Smart Snugs One Size Pocket today and it passed my tests with flying colors!

Choosing a cloth diaper is almost never simple.  New parents are greeted with hundreds of brands, styles, and options that can almost make them run away and choose disposables just for the sake of not having to pick.  That is why today’s giveaway is so awesome!  Abby’s Lane, an online and brick and mortar store in Manassas, VA, is offering up a Tiny Tush Elite One Size, Fuzzibunze Elite, and bumGenius 4.0 to ONE lucky DDL reader.  Jealous!

I know of Abby’s Lane because of their great reputation for quality customer service and their FREE SHIPPING in the US policy.  I even got to experience their customer service first hand when I ordered a cloth diaper cover and it had a defect.  I sent an email and received a prompt reply. They sent a replacement cover and the whole thing was painless.

Abby’s Lane also has a nice set up for easy browsing. I am usually aware of the brand I need so I love when shops have the “Shop by Brand” drop down menu in an easyt o find place.  I am ALWAYS looking for that.  Search by the type of diaper from the menu bar on the left, of find gift ideas for Baby and Children, including one of my all time favorite products, the Nose Frida!

For today’s giveaway the winner will receive a Tiny Tush Elite One Size, Fuzzibunze Elite, and bumGenius 4.0.  I have reviewed the Tiny Tush Elite and the bumGenius 4.0 and definitely prefer them both in snaps.  I am working on reviewing the new Fuzzibunz Elite as well!  The winner will get to choose closure and colors.

Use the Rafflecopter entry form below to enter.  You must have javascript enabled.  Open to US only and giveaway ends December 23.
