Trimsie Diaper Giveaway



With our first son A, cloth diapering was not even considered. What are we living in the 1800’s where we have to pin a diaper on a baby and hope they do not leak through? Not a chance. We we part of the 20th century and we were going to use disposables like the rest of the world. There wasn’t even another choice was there?

Well insert friend who opened this very closed minded mama’s eyes. I thought my friend was very brave and patient to cloth diaper her sweet little one. As we talked more and got together more, I started to ask more questions. Now insert our sweet little M who we love and adore but was completley surprised by this little blessing. We were already stretching our budget with one and now we had another one on the way. This was not what we planned. We thought when we got one out of diapers, we would have another one. Two in diapers was not even a thought. Well God had another plan and here we were having another baby that would be just 13 months younger from A.

I started researching cloth diapers just on a whim and it was AMAZING. Did you know that cloth diapers are like real diapers? They are not just pins and cloth anymore. Wow, was I all wrong. As I researched more and more, I started not only looking at how easy they were to use but the cost that we would actually save. Yes it was expensive to start but just think how many times a month you are going to the store and buying a box of diapers for $20. Not only that but how many times do you go to get a diaper and its either your last one or even worse you are out? I will admit, our son has had to wear a swim diaper a couple of times while one of us ran to the store to get him some regular diapers.

Michigan were we are from is not exactly cloth friendly and has very few stored where you can actually see diapers. Our nearest store was an hour away but I made the trip to attend a seminar to get some info. Of course the store introduces you to the top brands of diapers that we all know and love like Fuzzi Bunz, Bum Genius, Thirsty, and many others.

I will be the first to admit that I am blinded by the name brands and rarely venture away from them when it comes to diapers UNTIL NOW. I came across Baby Belle’s shop on Etsy. I was reviewing her diapers and thought they looked really good. Again I do not normally venture away from the top brands of diapers because who wants to be at the grocery store and have a major blowout. I had a few friends that were having babies for the first time and wanted to cloth. They were coming to me for advice and I only could tell them what I knew. So I connected with the maker and she sent me one of her new diapers the Trimsies AIO Diaper. Let me tell you, this diaper changed my whole outlook on cloth diapering and was so amazing, I know I will be using this diaper for our next child (not anytime soon) and will also be ordering the training pants for our older son A (who is in the process of refusing to potty train).

When I got the diaper in the mail, I thought “no way is this going to fit my chunky monkey 11.5 month old. Also I noticed the “inserts” we sown right into the diaper and I thought “no way am I going to like this, I cant adjust the absorbancy and it looks so bulky.” I was SO wrong about everything. This is the most amazing diaper I have tried. One thing I disliked about cloth diapers was how bulky they always were when you had to stuff them really good. I put this on M and it was the trimest diaper I had ever seen yet I knew it was super absorbant because of all the layers. Also this tiny looking diaper fit M amazingly. He even had room to grow. I have never had a diaper fit so perfectly on either of my boys. M loved it and I have to admit he looked so adorable. She sent me Spring Green and it looked adorable on him. His little diaper butt waddled around. I loved it so much that was the first diaper I was grabbing over my other (major brand) cloth diapers and even disposable. And when I say I like easy, I mean throw in the wash and walk away because my boys are screaming at each other or someone is sitting on the other one easy. THIS IS THAT DIAPER! With the inserts sewn in, all I have to do is throw in and be done and when its time to use it, NO STUFFING, jus grab and put it on the baby who is already crawling away without a diaper on. I always thought I loved all the buttons on a Happy Heiny ( I do like Happy Heiny don’t get me wrong) but I never could get the fit just right and after adjusting the snaps a zillion time M was so agrivated he couldn’t sit still long enough to get it on. And the husband doing all those snaps, for get it. With the Trimsies diaper there are two sets of snaps but amazingly they adjust perfectly. The diaper was so perfectly made and I could tell M loved it over his other diapers. Now here comes the GREAT part. It is only $15.50 for a meduim diaper! This is less then most major cloth diapers brands and you get the added feature of no stuffing, no separating, and super absorbancy that works for days, night, and naps with a trim look.



Now for the details:
