Cloth Swim Diapers, or Why Fruit at the Beach is so Dangerous!

The Burrito in his 2nd Swim Diaper of the day!

This summer was The Burrito’s first trip to the Outer Banks, NC, where my family has vacationed for 19 years, almost two-thirds of my life. He was not impressed with sun, sand, ocean waves, or the pool behind the house. However, my sister-in-law, genius that she is, suggested an inflatable baby pool to take to the beach with us. Burrito gets to splash in water warmed in the sun, and I get to sit and read a book on the beach for thirty five minutes. It was great – he would be happy at the … [Read more...]

‘Summertime and the Cloth Diapering’s Easy’

Swim Baby

Warm weather has arrived, and with it comes the opportunity to wear tank tops, shorts, and flip flops! For babies, it means sun hats, sunscreen, and little or no clothing.   I remember how my mom used to strip the baby of the family down to their diaper when we were little.  I remember my littlest siblings riding in the shopping cart wearing nothing but their little, white diaper and how I was so jealous because they were definitely more comfortable than any of us! Now that I’m the … [Read more...]

Vacation Diaries: Swim Diapers

vacation-diaries-swim-diapers

When going on vacation with cloth diapers, getting a good swim diaper is a must! Basically, a swim diaper is special diaper designed to keep your baby’s poop from invading the swimming pool. A good swim diaper will allow liquids to pass through and contain the poop safe and sound. It has no absorbent layers because they would add extra weight making buoyancy difficult and causing a safety hazard to your child. When considering swimming with cloth diapers, you have … [Read more...]

Vacation Diaries: Pee in an Elevator

When we went to the beach this summer for our vacation, I was so excited to use my daughter's cloth swim diapers for the first time. Now, I sort of realized that swim diapers are not waterproof. I'd read somewhere that they are made this way so that a baby won't be held down by absorbent layers while swimming. But honestly, it just didn't occur to me that putting my baby in her swim diaper before getting to the pool just wasn't the best idea. So, eager to escape the Southern … [Read more...]

REVIEW: Rumparooz G2 OS Pocket Diaper with Snaps

Congratulations to Rumparooz on their MACT award! Diaper Junction is proud to carry this wonderful brand.

Recently, I've started using Rumparooz One Size Pocket Diapers for my daughter, and my overall impression of them is quite positive. Obviously, the first thing that caught my attention about them was the "poop scoop" - the two rows of inner gussets that claim to keep the diaper leak free. When we got our first Rumparooz diaper, I was so excited about it that I put it on my daughter without even prepping it with a pre-wash because I wanted to take some pictures. Ironically, she tested the … [Read more...]
