Sometimes I love my job, especially when I get a sneak peek at a new product or print!
Tiny Tush sent one of their limited edition prints my way (and to a few other lucky bloggers) to test and to help them spread the word!
Their Tiny Tush Elite 1.1 One Size now comes in 4 Limited Edition Prints- Bots (navy robots), Camo (dark forest print), Bubbles (lime green with colorful circles), and Bella (shabby chic flower print). They also have Star Spangled, their first print ever, that was released in June.
I received Bots to test and love the character of these little robots! The color of the diaper is Navy and the Robots are in Black. It is a fun print for my little man but a robot loving girl would look good in it too. I would love to also see this print with a white background and black robots, that would be such a hip print too!
If you haven’t seen it, I reviewed the Elite 1.1 a few months ago. Refresher: Easy to use, lots of room in the waist and rise, great price point, comes in snaps or aplix, and MADE IN THE US!
Once these 4 Limited Edition Prints are gone, they are GONE! They will cost the same as their other diapers- $19.95. You can find them on TinyTush.com or at any of their retailers.
Luckily, Tiny Tush is going to give one lucky DDL Reader a print of their choice! Enter below.
A Tiny Tush Elite was sent free of charge in order to faciliate this review. No other compensation was received and all opinions are 100% my own and genuine.
I have had a relationship with Charlene, the inventor and owner of Tiny Tush, for almost as long as my website as been around. (forever, right?!) Before I even introduce the diaper I have to say that Charlene is one of the nicest, most caring, compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. When I put out the call for cloth diapers to send to families in need 2 Christmases ago, she didn’t just send 1 box, she sent 2 gigantic boxes. And she even wanted to send more. She does so much for others and her commitment to cloth diapers is a small part of it. Now that you know a little about Charlene, I will tell you about the new Tiny Tush Elite 1.1. I reviewed it a year ago, but there have been some exciting improvements! Now, the rise snaps match the color of the PUL. This is a biggie for me! I think matching snaps (or coordinating for funkiness) add to the look of the diaper, whereas white snaps detract. Also, she added a cross over snap for the smaller waisted infants and newborns and spaced out the tab snaps more. Everything else is the same.
Ease of Use ✩✩✩✩ The Elite 1.1 still comes in a snapping and velcro version. The velcro is easy peasy, but since it is a pocket you still need to unstuff the diaper before washing and restuff it. There is only 1 row of snaps, but 2 on each tab, so a total of 4. Without hip snaps it is quicker to put on. The reverse envelope design of the pocket opening prevents poop from getting in the pocket (a huge PITA) but it also makes unstuffing a little harder because you need to open that space and remove it. There is no chance of just shaking the insert out, so have a cloth wipe handy!
Bang for the Buck ✩✩✩✩ The price is still 17.95. You get 1 large and 1 small microfiber insert (imported) and the pocket diaper (MADE IN THE US). You also have the option on their website to upgrade inserts to US made, or cotton. Now the snaps match the PUL, and that to me makes them look more expensive. This is the same price you pay for most other OS diapers.
Performance ✩✩✩✩ I use these diapers a lot. Both the new 1.1 and the old version. That should say something when you take into account how many diapers I have to choose from. They work great, are absorbent, and are easy to use. I haven’t really had any leaks with the new 1.1, but with the old version I had a few when Ev was on the smallest rise setting of the velcro version.
Fit ✩✩✩✩ The TT Elite 1.1 still has a 4 step rise system, and will fit babies 7-35 pounds. Fletcher wears it with 2 snaps exposed (26 pounds, 2 years old) and Ev wears it with 1 set (16 pounds, 4 months). It isn’t the TRIMMEST pocket, and when it is on the smaller rises sometimes the microfleece leaves peeks out from the top. Not much I can do to prevent it but that hasn’t caused leaks. I love that there are cross over snaps, they are great when you need them!
Overall- The new colors are really pretty. I tested the Seaspray and it is a very nice color. There are lights and bolds, a great variety. Having a velcro or snap option is wonderful! I really like supporting companies like Tiny Tush. They try hard to keep production in the US, and do so much good in the world. Plus, they truly listen to feedback (as evidenced by the improvements).
Instead of the usual video review, I am taking a week off. I only have 3 diapers I am reviewing and need an extra week before I am ready to publish.
So….. since many YouTube commenters and blog readers alike have asked, I took a short video to show my most used diapers. We are definitely a pocket family. I still have my original bumGenius! 3.0′s that I bought while pregnant. Those make up a large percentage of what I use daily. They are also great for my husband who gets tired of using a different diaper each change. That is my job!
So if you didn’t see this already on Facebook, take a look! Expect a video on how I do my cloth wipes in the future as well.
To go with the video review, Tiny Tush is sponsoring a giveaway of (1) Tiny Tush Hemp Trim Fitted.
If you are on a budget and you really want a great fitted cloth diaper look no further. This trim fitting diaper will make cloth diapering easy and affordable in style! We know moms want a nice trim fit and absorbency is a must.
This one-size cloth diaper will fit event the smallest babies. The absorbent snap-in liner is an actual contour diaper which can be used inside a diaper cover for the smallest newborns. The liner shapes to the inside of the diaper, providing more absorbency without adding bulk for heavy wetting toddlers. The snap-in liner can be completely removed when soiled for easier cleanup. We used our new YUMMY custom fabric: 80% hemp and 20% organic cotton for maximum absorbency and added softness. We designed the diaper with hidden snaps, this way the only the thing which touches your baby’s skin is soft fabric (not cold, uncomfortable snaps).
Made in the USA!
A diaper cover is required!
Fits newborn to 35+ pounds
No need to buy multiple size cloth diapers
Designed for added comfort and absorbency
Liner doubles as a newborn diaper
Removable snap-in liner for easy cleanup
Very fast drying time
Great for parents with different size children in cloth diapers

I am a fan of Tiny Tush products, not only because they work great, but because the company is amazing. I was very happy to be sent their new Tiny Tush Hemp Trim One Size Fitted to review.
Ease of Use ✰✰✰✰ This fitted has snaps, but nothing like a Goodmama, which can be overwhelming. I found it easy to put on and take off, and to size since the rise uses snaps as well. The soaker can be snapped in or left out for more trimness if you don’t need it.
Bang for the Buck✰✰✰✰ The Hemp fitted costs less than many fitteds on the market, but as much as many pocket diapers (17.95) The price is justified since the diaper is made from Hemp, a material that has to be imported. However, the diaper is still made in the USA. It is very absorbent so worth the price if you need a workhorse diaper that is very thirsty for nights.
Performance ✰✰✰✰✰ I loved this diaper because it was simple and effective. I trusted it for days without the insert because my son isn’t a heavy wetter. I used it with a PUL cover and it was never soaked through, even after one instance of leaving it on a little too long. Blame it on Mommy/ pregnant brain! Overnights required the insert but no extra stuffins for me.
Fit✰✰✰✰✰ The ruffled elastic fit my son beautifully. I think there is lots of room for growth, especially with 4 rise settings. It was very trim on my son compared to many fitteds, especially those using OBV which are heavy and bulky. I can’t say if it fits a newborn or not, but I think it would work, especially with a cover. Give me a few months before testing that.
Overall- This is another great product from Tiny Tush. The hemp is soft and pliable and the lining is soft against the baby’s skin. The snaps are hidden, a feature I am very fond of. Even though the front rolls down some it doesn’t detract from the function, and you will have a cover of it most of the time so it isn’t a big deal.
