Bummis on the bum ~ GIVEAWAY!

In our experimentation with cloth diapers, we've come across a model that's really suited us well. Bummis is a well-known Canadian manufacturer of cloth diapers and diapering accessories. They've added some new products to their lineup, both made by the Tots Bots factory in Glasgow, Scotland: the Easy Fit and the Pocket Tot. Bummis started out as a home business in the 1980s and has grown a lot since then! Something I liked about Bummis was that they produce everything they can in their Canadian factory, source as many North American products as possible, and work with reputable companies in the UK and Pakistan for products they just can't find here. I really like the idea of supporting Canadian business as much as possible.

We had a chance to try out the Easy Fit diaper. I think Daniel's favourite feature of this diaper is that it's orange - the first colour he knew and his favourite so far! The Easy Fit comes in 5 colours plus white, in case your child's favourite colour isn't orange! :) What I really like about this diaper is that I don't have to fuss with liners - the liner is attached to the diaper and folds really easily into a pocket. Even better, it comes out BY ITSELF in the wash! This means it washes up great and dries quickly. You can adjust the liner so the absorbency is where your baby needs it the most (watch the video on the webpage to get an idea how).

We've never had any leaking issues with this diaper; there's a layer of rayon from bamboo fibers next to the skin, which is super soft and absorbs up to 70% more than cotton. The other layer of the liner is polyester microfibre. Along the sides of the liner are anti-wicking, soft brushed polyester side guards to prevent compression wetness.

The diaper is adjustable in size - it fits from 8-35 lbs with 3 rows of adjusting snaps. The Tiny Fit is available as a separate diaper for babies from 5-12 lbs.

Another thing I like about this diaper is the fit. Daniel is nearly 2, very active, and doesn't need or like something that hinders his movement - believe me, he lets us know! This diaper seems to fit trimmer than some around the bum.
