**GIVEAWAY** Grovia Cloth Diaper

By now, you all should know how much I love to do giveaways. What I love even more is helping my friends to promote their giveaways! I am so sad that I don't have a baby to cloth diaper any more, since we potty trained, but the next best thing is seeing one of my readers win this! So, good luck to all of you!!


{Disclaimer: A Fulfilled Mommy received a GroVia Hybrid Diaper and Magic Stick Z diaper cream in exchange for this review. All opinions and experiences are my own and may differ from your own. This blog is not responsible for prize shipment.}







I'm excited to share our experience with the GroVia All in One diaper. This cloth diaper retails for about $23. In all of the cloth diapers we've tried, this has to be one of my favorites. If you're in search of a diaper that is trim and fits well under baby's clothes, then this may be the diaper for you. This diaper has a TPU outer layer and the inside is made of organic cotton.



The GroVia All in One diaper is a one size diaper. This diaper fits a baby from around 10 lbs until 35 lbs. Hallie is 11 months old and weighs around 19 lbs. I absolutely love that this is a side snapping diaper and that the tabs are very stretchy. The fit works really well for my rather skinny baby, but would fit any size baby well. There is one sewn in liner and there is a snap in liner to use if your baby needs more absorbency.



GroVia All in One diapers come in different colors and prints that you can check out on their website here. We've tried this diaper for short durations, nap time, overnight, and long car trips. We've not had one issue with any sort of leakage. I love that this is a trim diaper, but has all of the absorbency that Hallie needs.



I was also sent the Magic Stick Z made by GroVia which is a cloth diaper safe diaper balm. Hallie is teething these days, so we've had some pretty nasty teething poops and that results in some sore rashes at times. The first time I used the diaper balm, I noticed how amazing it smells. I absolutely love that it has healing essential oils in it, as well as non-nano Zinc Oxide. This diaper balm clears up even the worse diaper rash quickly without using all of the harsh chemicals found in mainstream diaper creams. Plus, it's cloth diaper safe.



I've teamed up with The Natural Baby Co. and some great bloggers to give away this great prize package! One winner will receive the GroVia All in One cloth diaper in Poppy, as well as the GroVia Magic Stick Z Diaper Balm. Use the entry form below.

**REVIEW** Glow Bug Cloth Diaper

A few months back, I contacted Glow Bug in hopes of being able to review one of their cloth diapers. I am happy to announce that I have been given one of their pocket diapers featuring the new 360° gusset. (Disclosure: While I did receive this product for free, all opinions are 100% my own and were not swayed in any direction)


Glow Bug was founded by two moms, Sarah and Neta, who became friends after attending the same prenatal Yoga classes. They both welcomed daughters in 2007 and used cloth diapers with them. In 2010, they welcomed their second kiddos- another daughter for Sarah, and a son for Neta. While searching for cloth diapers for their new babies, they found each other to have the same concerns over the already available brands. This led them to start up their own company, and sell cloth diapers that were designed and made with their preferences in mind. Quality, affordable, and functional. Not to mention, super cute!!


The first thing I did when I received the package was tear into it and look it over. Not all diapers are created the same! Looking it over, I had some initial concerns. My first concern was that there were two openings in the diaper. I was afraid that the insert would not stay in place. However, I then noticed the snap that was in the diaper and on the insert. That will keep it from moving all out of place. And when you have a toddler who is into EVERYTHING, keeping it in place is a major necessity.


The other concern I had was the 360° gusset in the diaper. I have such problems with the gussets on disposable diapers and making sure they were flared out to keep the mess in. Thankfully, these are nothing like that. I found that out when I put it on Gianna. Let's just say that they got her seal of approval, because within minutes of putting it on her, she dirtied it. Since she still consumes a significant amount of breast milk, she still doesn't have very solid BMs. The gussets held the mess in perfectly, without the slightest bit of leakage.


I absolutely love the fit on her! The 4 size settings mean that I can use it on her, and any baby smaller AND larger than she is, because we're using the first snap down. The square tabs mean no wing droop, and an even fit around her waist. Lots of snaps around the waist means a great fit for even the smallest of babies. Especially since the tabs can overlap. I really like that, even when it's tight on her, it doesn't leave all these red marks on her like other brands do. It also moves with her. Whether she's doing somersaults, climbing, jumping, running, etc, it doesn't bunch up or ride up.

The day we received the diaper, I put it right on her. I didn't prep it, because we were just too excited. It held up for five hours before starting to get slightly damp on the outside, so this diaper is my first choice for long trips. Now that it's been washed a few times, I'm sure it's even more absorbent. I also like that the inside material, which they call it "SlimDry", seems to be stain resistant. The initial "approval" Gianna gave it didn't even leave any signs of use. That particular day, I didn't get to rinse it out immediately after changing her.

You can purchase Glow Bug diapers from their website, here. At this point in time, Glow Bug does not sell individual diapers, although you may find someone local to you who does. You can check that out here.
They have many different prints, and even solids if you aren't into prints. They also offer a lifetime warranty on their snaps, and a 180-day warranty on the craftsmanship of the diapers. To read more about their warranty, be sure to click here. They are super nice to work with, and have always gotten back to any messages I have sent within a day. I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future!

Whatever you do, be sure to enter the giveaway! One lucky person will win a Glow Bug cloth diaper in their choice of Girl Print, Boy Print, or Neutral Print!
