Dear Velcro,

So I am wondering if anyone has found the prefect velcro diaper? No, really I am! I was really disgusted to find out that after a short 4-5 months that my velcro on my (start sarcasm here) new and improved super wonderful 4.0 diapers would be far superior to the 'old' velcro found on the 3.0's. (end sarcasm). I thought I had heard in the video that BG released introducing the new 4.0 diaper that velcro they are now using would last way longer...really mine was curling like crazy after only 4 months of use! That is just crazy and if 4 months is way longer I hate to see how long the 3.0's lasted, yikes! So anyways, sorry about the rant! :)

So now I am stuck with about 10 4.0 pocket diapers, most velcro, that are curling as well as a few 3.0's that are actually holding up better than the 4.0's (I know, crazy right?). So what is a mommy to do...

I decided that I would take the plunge and get them converted...here is the cheap-o dutch in me coming out. Seriously? $3.00 to convert a diaper o snaps? Ouch to the PP account! If I wanted to spend that much money I would have purchased some easy fits instead (which have good, happy velcro). I decided to post on FluffSwappers that I was looking to convert some of my diapers and if anyone knew of someone who did a good job for a good price to let me know.

I was contacted by Lacey who was just starting to get into the 'snap' business. Her prices where in my budget but I was also a little worried about sending my precious diapers away to someone, especially someone who was just getting into the conversion business. After some chit chat and looking at some pictures of other diapers she had converted I decided to give it a go. I sent her 7 diapers to convert for me. The turn around time was great for me, it took about a week to get them done. Lacey stayed in contact with me the whole time and was wonderful to work with. I was able to pick the snap colors that I wanted and the layout for them (like the 4.0 snaps or I could have had them done some other way to probably).

The big package arrived on my doorstep shortly after she let me know they had been sent back to me. I was so excited to see them! They looked AMAZING! I was very happy with them and played with each diaper testing the snaps out. On one diaper I had the snap on the tab pop off and contacted Lacey about this. She told me to send it on back to her and she would fix it as well as refund the shipping cost to send it back, plus she would pay the shipping cost to get it back to me.

Lacey was fantastic to work with, did a great job with the conversions, had great customer service, great prices and overall I had a great experience with her. If you are looking to get some diapers converted look her up on her FB page at: Going Green


Here is a list of her prices :

For pocket diapers: $2.00 per diaper

For fitted diapers: $2.75-3.75 per diaper

For covers: $2.00 per diaper, unless extra PUL is needed, then price will increase

Per snap added to other projects: $0.20

All others will have to be discussed on a diaper by daiper basis. You are responsible for shipping to and from my house, but I can help you find the cheapest shipping mode. We are a smoke-free, puppy friendly home.

She will also remove .50 cents from the price if you remove the velcro! I was able to convert my diapers to snaps for $1.50 each plus shipping. It was great!

Thank you for everything Lacey!
