Rockstar Designs

I am excited to share with you another WAHM who's diapers I have come to really love. Night time diapering is...let be honest here... a pain in the butt! However one thing that I have found works amazingly well in holding a ton of pee is fitted diapers. I have tried a lot of fitted diapers but something that happens quite often with fitted diapers is that once they become wet, they get really hard and stiff. I would not want to be stuck in a hard stiff diaper all night if I were a baby. Enter RockStar Designs. I came across RockStar Designs on facebook and contacted them about doing a review. I was sent a diaper to review but with thanks to the post office it was lost in the mail! RockStar Designs sent me a new one right away and I got this cute Humpty Dumpty print. I love the bright blue as the inner color and the matching blue snaps.

Here is a super fun part of RockStar Designs fitted diapers. She uses a cute star snap on the back of the diaper for holding on the snap in insert! How fun is that! 

The outer part of the fitted is made with a knit. Then there is a hidden layer of poly fleece and wind pro jersey making this a hybrid fitted. The inside is lined with a cotton velour.

There is nice elastic across the back to help contain any poo that might try and escape. The diaper also features a fold down rise.

The snap in insert is made with one long piece that folds in half. There is also a small insert that snaps into the middle of the long insert. I love how this is set up! The snap in soaker is made with a soft cotton velour and 4 layers of organic bamboo fleece. The booster is made with organic bamboo fleece and an additional layer of poly fleece.

I have no idea why this picture is upside down but you can get the idea of how the fold down rise works on my little guy. He is 9 months old now and we use the fold down rise on him. There is a ton of growing room in this fitted still which is awesome because its one of my top 2 favorites for night time.

 It has a lot of cross over snaps which makes this great for the super skinny babies but it also works great on the bigger toddlers as well. It still fits my 35 pound almost 3 year old son as well.

 I love how trim this is. even with the rise folded down there isn't a ton of bulk on the front. I have some other fitteds that do have a lot of bulk up there and my baby hates wearing them, he will not go to sleep until I change him...he is a belly sleeper so having less bulk on his belly is great so we love this RockStar Designs fitted.

Wild Mountain Mommies Hybrid Fitted

The diaper you see here is from a shop called Wild Mountain Mommies (WMM), owned by creator and WAHM Cristina, a mama to three. She makes wetbags, AI2s, pockets, hybrid fitteds, fitteds, and covers in both sized and one sized options. Her shop has been in business since spring of 2011, and we have actually had the opportunity to review her products on our blog once before. Terra reviewed WMM's All in Two style then, and I have the opportunity today to review her Hybrid Fitted diaper.

Cristina sent me this fun splash paint print hybrid fitted to review! This fitted is her unique Mountaineer Fit style, which is a larger one sized diaper, designed with bigger toddlers in mind. This works great for us because Ava is rather tall for her age, so the taller rise on this diaper means we will be able to use it for a long time. The diaper can still size down via the fold over rise, though it won't go as small as your typical one size. This one should fit from 15-40 plus pounds. Since Ava was a bigger baby to start with we would have been able to use this diaper pretty early on actually! The picture above shows the diaper closed on the tallest rise setting, and this one below shows the smaller option with the rise folded down.

You can see here the double row of snaps on the diaper. The bottom row is what we use if we have the rise opened all the way up.

The top row faces inside and is what we use if we need the fold over rise option.

The outside of this diaper is a soft knit fabric, and the inside layer is a soft cotton velour. I love putting this diaper on Ava because it's so squishy and nice! There is a layer of poly fleece hidden between, which is what makes it a hybrid: you can leave it on baby without a cover for a while because that fleece will help the diaper absorb to it's full potential before the outside feels wet.

On the inside on the diaper, the snap-in soaker is 5 layers: four layers of hemp fleece topped with a layer of cotton velour that matches the rest of the diaper's lining.

The great thing about this soaker is that it is split into two "petals" that are attached to each other at one end. This helps wash more effectively and helps the diaper to dry quicker. I am a huge fan of hemp fleece for absorbency! It's trim, but can hold a crazy amount of liquid.

Here is the diaper on Ava from the front. It looks like the snaps are pulling, but that's really more due to a wiggly toddler than it is to the diaper. We get a really nice fit with this diaper every time.

As you can see from this side view, this diaper is really trim! Often a hybrid fitted is rather bulky, but the use of the hemp fleece in this one really helps make it nice and trim.

The back view of the diaper shows off the other side of the soaker snaps. I like that they are relatively hidden by the fun paint splash pattern. 

Overall, we have had a great experience with this diaper! I had a chance to test it's absorbency last week when we left the house for a while, forgetting that Ava had this hybrid fitted on without a cover! The good news? It lasted a good three hours without a cover, which for my heavy wetter is a win in my book! I really appreciate that there are diaper makers out there who make bigger diapers for the taller toddlers too. I have a feeling that this diaper will come in really handy as Ava gets older! I highly recommend checking out Cristina's shop and facebook page!

Yiddle Doppers Eco-Boutique

This morning's featured WAHM is Mandie of Yiddle Doppers Eco-Boutique. Mandie makes hybrid fitteds, AI2s, pocket diapers, mama cloth, and the occasional soft toy. I asked her to share a little about herself  and her shop with us to kick off her shop feature.


I am blessed share my life with, not only this business and its wonderful customers, but also a brood of delightful boys and one amazing man. We live in the beautiful mountains along the border of the NC/TN/GA and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and camping.

I began selling diapers (made from up-cycled gortex jackets) in a local shop about 8 years ago and sometime later the owner asked me if I had heard of "Hyena Cart". I hadn't so I looked into it. I procrastinated for a few years, but eventually opened Yiddle Doppers Online Shop a little over two years ago. My favourite items to create (other than diapers) are soft creatures, the kids just light up when they see them for the first time.

Mandie sent me an adorable Ooga Booga hybrid fitted diaper to review. A hybrid fitted has a hidden layer of fleece that helps to disburse moisture so that the soaker can absorb more before the moisture reaches the outside of the diaper. The interior of the fitted is lined with cotton velour and the outside is a cotton/lycra knit. Mandie makes the soakers out of Zorb sandwiched between bamboo fleece and tops them with cotton velour to match the inside of the diaper. Zorb is a highly absorbent fabric which will soak up liquids extremely quickly!

This diaper is thicker than most with all of its inserts inside it, but that also means that it is crazy absorbent! There are two inserts that snap into this diaper, the larger of which folds in half and snaps into the back of the diaper. The smaller insert can either snap in between the halves of the large insert or can be snapped into the back of the diaper by itself if you don't need as much absorbency.

Both inserts snapped together in the diaper.

The inserts spread apart so you can see how they attach.

Just the smaller insert snapped into the diaper.

The inserts snapped apart to show the construction.

Yiddle Dopper fitteds fit from 20-40 lbs as made, but you can request fold over rise snaps on your diaper and with those added it will fit from 8-40 lbs. Personally I love a fold over rise as a method of making a diaper one size! It's really convenient to be able to just flip down the front of a diaper during a change instead of having to snap down a rise.

This shows the rise folded down.

This is the rise opened up all the way.

Here is the diaper snapped closed with the rise folded down to show just how small it can get! 

We got a great fit on Ava with this fitted! I found that the rise we use depends on which soakers I put into it. If I just use the single, smaller soaker then I can use the folded over rise. This gives me a nice trim fit on Ava for those times where I don't need quite as much absorbency.

Back shot of the diaper with just the smaller soaker in it.

Side view of the diaper with the smaller soaker and the folded down rise. Nice and trim!

Usually when I use this diaper though, I like to add all the soakers to get maximum absorbency! I still get a great fit, but I leave the rise up when I have all the soakers in. Below is a great shot of the front of this diaper. I love the stretchy wings and how flat and smooth the front looks! This diaper is bulky with all the soakers in it, but since I mainly use this for nap time and overnight the bulkiness doesn't matter to me. For sleeping I take absorbency over trimness every day!

Ava rocks a big cloth booty in this diaper and I love it!

Overall we have been loving this diaper! I am so addicted to hybrid fitteds these days, and this is one of my favorites. I love the fit on Ava, and this fitted is so absorbent that I can leave it on her without a cover for 2-3 hours without leaks! I use it overnight with a wool cover and it lasts us 12 hours, despite Ava's crazy heavy night wetting.

I am happy to say that Mandie has a hybrid fitted in this awesome Impossible Love print to give away to one of our readers! Simply enter in the form below.

Yiddle Doppers™ one-size fitted hybrid diaper makes diapering simple and fun! No need to snap-and-re-snap to adjust the size, and no funny-looking "puckers" in the front! ... and no need for bulky covers!
(as is: fits approx 20-40 lbs)
(with optional additional snaps: fits down to 8 lbs)
Outer: Cotton/Lycra Knit (preshrunk)
Hidden: poly fleece - acts to disperse moisture more evenly throughout the diaper, allowing for the absorbent layers to do reach their capacity before the outer layer of the diaper begins to feel damp. The fleece layer does not entirely replace the need for a diaper cover during naps, car rides, or at times when the diaper will be worn for more than approximately 3 hours (depending on the child's wetting pattern).
Inner: Cotton knit velour
Snap-in Soaker:Bifold soaker made of Zorb® absorbent cloth sandwiched between layers of bamboo fleece and the same luscious cotton velour that lines the diaper. The entire soaker is contoured to a baby's shape for comfort and mobility. Also included is a small soaker for very young babies that doubles as a "doubler" for extra absorbency. Both soakers together total 2 layers of CV, 4 layers of BF, and 3 layers of Zorb® absorbent fabric.
