I am excited to bring you another great cloth diaper giveaway, this time, a Sandy’s Fitted and Air Flow Cover from Mother-Ease!

About the Sandy’s Fitted:

Our Sandy’s™ cloth diapers come in two main sizes: Small (8-20 lbs.) and Large (20-35 lbs.) We also offer Newborn and Toddle-ease cloth diapers which offer a custom fit for newborns and toddlers.

These cloth diapers are made from our same soft stretchy terry cloth using the same quality of workmanship, but they have an extra layer of absorbent terry sewn to the inside of the diaper. The fit of the cloth diaper is slightly roomier. Elastic at the waist front and back as well as the leg openings, together with the snap closures at the sides create a clean pant-like look. A serged edge finishes the diaper. Our large Sandy’s™ cloth diaper is one of the most absorbent cloth diapers ever, and holds 15 oz. When used together with our Sandy’s™ Cloth Diaper Liners it makes an extravagant nighttime cloth diaper.

About the Air Flow Cover:

Finally! A leak-free cloth diaper cover that refuses to compromise breathability! We searched for over a year to find just the right fabric that would meet our quality standards. The fabric needed to be soft, durable and waterproof. The Air Flow™ Snap Cover, with adjustable snaps at the waist and leg openings has an air ventilation system between the snaps. This allows for maximum air circulation as baby moves, reducing the risk of bacteria by keeping the temperature inside the diaper down. And, unlike Velcro, the curious baby can’t undo them, so they stay on until you take them off.

The Air Flow™ cloth diaper cover is to be used with either the One Size™ cloth diapers or the Sandy’s™ cloth diapers to create a highly breathable, leakproof cloth diapering system.

Congrats Kimberley!

This diaper set was another I received almost a year ago for review, but my son did not fit them.  It was only recently that I tried them again and they fit him.  I know I have had many requests to review the Sandy’s Fitted and Air Flow cover from Mother-Ease Cloth Diapers and I knew I would get to, someday!  Enjoy the video and review!

Ease of Use ✰✰✰ As a fitted and cover go, these aren’t that time consuming or complicated.  You have 4 snaps to affix for the fitted and 4 for the cover.  This is 8 all together, less than some fitteds have!  It is very easy when applying on your baby to figure out which snap will work for your baby.  These products are both sized so there aren’t very many choices.  Easy to remove and toss in the pail as well.

Bang for the Buck ✰✰✰✰ The Sandy’s Fitted is 10.75, a super low price to a fitted that works as well as it does.  The Airflow Cover is also extremely affordable at 12.75.  Just adding two or three of each of these is a small investment for nighttime diapering.

Performance ✰✰✰✰ While these work just fine during the day, I find them best for overnight.  During the day we like pockets for convenience and trimness.  But for night time fitteds have been shown to work best for my son.  He isn’t bothered by feeling wetness so we can swing it.  He wakes up leak free in these.  The first time I used the cover he had some red marks on his thighs so I was worried about using it overnight.  I did it one snap looser on the thighs from then on and no red marks, plus no leaks.  I did use the booster it came with for overnight.

Fit ✰✰✰ The sizes were very confusing to me.  Some stores only have certain sizes, but on the Mother-Ease website they list quite a few choices.  I believe I have the M/L cover.  This fits 20-27 pounds.  It did not fit until around 22 pounds.  The nature of the cover is that it is loose, so even if you get one in the mail and you think it is too large, try it on.  I was dubious it would fit him then but it did.  The Sandy’s is even more confusing.  The sizes go Newborn, Small, Large.  There is no Medium.  We received the Large, which fits 20-35 pounds.  He still has plenty of room to grow in this, and even though it isn’t snug on him it does fit and work.

Overall- For those parents who are concerned about air circulation in the diaper or who are looking for an excellent night time solution, I would suggest trying this combo.  While we won’t likely be using this in our daytime rotation it will be making it into our night time line up for sure.  The fitted is my favorite of the two; it is extremely soft and absorbent, as well as comfortable.  It would also work really great underneath a wool cover.  It will not fit well under certain, more “bikini cut” covers like the Kissaluvs Marvel OS.  The Airflow can work with just about any fitted or prefold.  So, not the most adorable diapers but they are very effective!

As part of my research looking for diapers made in the US and Canada, I learned some great things about Mother-Ease.  While their diapers might not be the cutest they have an amazing and dedicated follower because they work!  This is what they had to say about their manufacturing process:

Mother-ease diapers and covers are all made in our own manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada using green power supplied by Bullfrogpower. All of the fabric we use in our diapers is knit in Canada from imported yarns.

Our mission statement is as follows:

Mother-ease is a socially responsible, green powered company committed to exceeding customer expectations with original designs including natural and organic cloth diapers while leaving a minimal carbon footprint.

The use of our scrap fabric for exercise bags is in line with our mission. Being in Ontario we are able to recycle all of our cardboard, paper and plastics through a municipal recycling program, this significantly reduces the amount of waste our manufacturing facility  produces. We have also taken advantage of a recent program to convert all of the lighting fixtures in our factory to high efficiency fluorescent tubes.
