Here is our very first Cotton Sherpa Very Baby Diaper Review

• How does the diaper fit your little one? It fit very well. When I first received it I thought it was going to be very bulky with the larger soaker, but I was impressed on how trim it turned out to be.
  

• Did you use the cross over snaps?(I ask this because I believe on skinnier babies the hip snaps maybe less effective) I did

• Did you find that the extra wing snap(hip snap) helpful in keeping the diaper from drooping less? No, but I have a skinny-ish baby and had to use the cross-over snaps to make the diaper as skinny as possible most of the time.
  

• What snap down setting did you use? Small, Medium or Large
  
• Were you able to use the snaps with very little trouble? No trouble at all. The sizing ones did unsnap a few times when my daughter kept moving as I was trying to put it on.

• Does the Sherpa work well enough for a Day Time Diaper? Very well even without any soaker. I had to use the medium setting for my daughter and used just the diaper, med soaker and larger soaker and all worked very well (I also did not use a cover on the diaper as it held everything so well and I am in the midst of potty training)
  

• Were you able to figure out the soaker pads well enough? Very easy, though folding over the larger one to fit in the medium setting takes some times when the baby won't cooperate.
  
• Do you think I should add 1 more layer to the soaker pad? No, I think it is fine as it is.

• Do you think I should shorten the larger soaker pad? No, I can see the advantage of that large of a soaker for larger babies.

• How was the dry time on this diaper? Not any different than the other types of diapers that I use.

• How well did this diaper fit with the covers you used? When I first used the diaper I used a wool diaper cover and it worked great, but after it not soaking through quickly I didn't bother with a cover.
• Any other concerns or observations you have about the diaper? I have heard several negative comments about one size diapers: the sizing buttons don't really work, the bulk it makes in the front is not good, since it is one size the leg holes don't fit as well. I will say that I had none of these problems. My daughter has skinny legs and she didn't have any problems with. To give people an idea of her size she a very active (loves running) nearly 16 month old girl that is 19lbs 11 oz with cloth diaper and around 31" tall. And this diaper stayed on her very well. Many of her diapers begin to inch downward as she climbs and runs but this one did not! Very well made.

The Diaper that was tested was one of my cotton sherpa Pink Faerie Very Baby One Size Diapers.

We are having our grand re-open Monday February 22 2010!

Sugar Plum Baby Large Grape Cloth Diaper Feedback

Sugar Plum Baby Large Grape Cloth Diaper Feedback:

• How does the diaper fit your little one? My son will be three next week, and he weighs 33 pounds. The diaper fit him perfectly.
• Did you use the cross over snaps?(I ask this because I believe on skinnier babies the hip snaps maybe less effective) I did not use the crossover snaps.
• Did you find that the extra wing snap(hip snap) helpful in keeping the diaper from drooping less? I do think that the extra hip snap helped keep the diaper from drooping.
• Were you able to use the snaps with very little trouble?(one of my concerns is adding more snaps for a better fit might make it more confusing) I don't think the extra snaps were confusing, this isn't the first snap diaper I've used, and it's no more easy or confusing than any other snap diaper.
• Any other concerns or observations you have about the diaper? I really, really like this diaper. My son is very verbal, and when we put it on at bedtime (with the extra soaker, and under wool longies), he said, "This is the softest nicey diaper ever!" Any diaper that's not a prefold is a nicey diaper in his book. And in the morning, when I took it off him, he kept telling me how soft the diaper was even though it had lots of pee in it. Henry does not like using cloth overnight, and he LOVES your diaper.

Sugar Plum Baby Grape Tester cloth diaper feedback

Here is feedback from our Medium Grape Crush diaper tester:

• How does the diaper fit your little one? It fit her well, although for some reason I could not get the right thigh as tight as the left one. The elastic seemed to be the same length though. IMO, I think the leg elastic could stand to be an inch longer to provide a more snug fit all around the thigh.

• Did you use the cross over snaps?(I ask this because I believe on skinnier babies the hip snaps maybe less effective) Yes
  

• Did you find that the extra wing snap(hip snap) helpful in keeping the diaper from drooping less? YES, I didn't notice any droop, which is usually a HUGE issue for us!

• Were you able to use the snaps with very little trouble?(one of my concerns is adding more snaps for a better fit might make it more confusing) I had no issues with them. They seemed very comparable to the Hooahbabies fitteds I have & LOVE very much.

• Any other concerns or observations you have about the diaper? I think overall they are VERY well made & will be a HUGE hit!! I am thrilled to have had the chance to test them =)!! Thank you very much for allowing me to test!!!

Sugar Plum Baby Large Sour Apple diaper Review

Here is feedback from our Large Sour Apple diaper tester:

• How does the diaper fit your little one? It fits her very, very well. It is very generously sized, and I can see that she will be able to wear it until potty training with no problem. That is a big plus for us as we are on somewhat of a budget. I know you said you were using a different fabric on the testers, so I don't know if that would make a difference or not. I love the rise on it as well. I am personally not a fan of the bikini or low-cut rise on dipes. It really fits her perfectly.
• Did you use the cross over snaps?(I ask this because I believe on skinnier babies the hip snaps maybe less effective) Yes, and it is the first time we have used the cross over snaps. I only used the first cross over snap on the diaper, but I found it easy to use and it truly ensures a great fit for her.
• Did you find that the extra wing snap(hip snap) helpful in keeping the diaper from drooping less? Yes. We do not have any droopage at all, and I love the extra snap again to keep the diaper snug.
• Were you able to use the snaps with very little trouble?(one of my concerns is adding more snaps for a better fit might make it more confusing) I had absolutely no trouble with the snaps. I was only surprised that it fit big enough for us to use the cross over so that was new to us. Aside from that, I think the snaps are very easy to use and figure out.
• Any other concerns or observations you have about the diaper? I really only have good things to say. It really is a lovely diaper, and I am very happy with the fit on her. I have asked her if she likes the diaper and she does. Again, I really like the fact that it will fit for a long time. It is so precious on, and fits just perfectly. If I had to say anything about it that would be not a perfect fit for her it would be the width of the crotch, but that seems the same with every diaper we have so not a negative. Overall, I am very pleased with the diaper and would definitely purchase more and recommend others to do the same.

Sugar Plum Baby Large Plum Tester Diaper Review

Sugar Plum Baby Large Grape Crush Tester Feed Back

• How does the diaper fit your little one? My daughter is 21 months old and just around 25 pounds right now, and it fit her nice and snug with the adjustable snaps. She's not what I'd really call chubby and is a very active little toddler.

• Did you use the cross over snaps?(I ask this because I believe on skinnier babies the hip snaps maybe less effective)We did use the crossover snaps.

• Did you find that the extra wing snap(hip snap) helpful in keeping the diaper from drooping less? At first I didn't notice there were three snaps on the wings, so it was drooping a lot. Then I took another look and realized I missed the third snap on both sides. When I snapped that, we had less droop, but still a bit.

• Were you able to use the snaps with very little trouble?(one of my concerns is adding more snaps for a better fit might make it more confusing) Well, like I said, I missed the third snap the first try, but figured it out pretty quickly. I have a feeling the amount of snaps might have frustrated my husband who likes the diapers as straightforward as possible or he doesn't want to bother with them. I guess I really should have asked him what he thought of them and seen if he had any problems. Unfortunately, he's out of town for the week right now at work so I can't get him to weigh in right now. He did say it seemed like a very nice diaper just based on looks.

• Any other concerns or observations you have about the diaper? I think it's the nicest diaper in my stash now! We mostly use Rita's Rump Pockets that I've sewn myself. We've got a few snap pocket diapers and I've tried my hand at a few fitted diapers but can't seem to get them absorbent enough on their own. I think if more people could see and use cloth diapers like this, a lot more people would choose cloth when they realize how far cloth diapers have come since just flat folds or prefolds.

Medium Strawberry Sugar Plum Baby Diaper Tester Feed Back

Here is feed back from our Medium Strawberry Tester Diaper

Great Diaper, I really liked it and cannot wait to try the one size when they are ready....

• How does the diaper fit your little one? I have washed the diaper and used it twice now on my 6 month old daughter. I really like how if fits around her chunky legs. It doesn't leave any marks at all.
  
• Did you use the cross over snaps?(I ask this because I believe on skinnier babies the hip snaps maybe less effective) I did not use the cross over snaps since she is a big girl.
  
• Did you find that the extra wing snap(hip snap) helpful in keeping the diaper from drooping less? I think the hip snaps are great to a get a great fit and help hold in breastfed baby messes. I think the leg openings would be to loose without them.
  
• Were you able to use the snaps with very little trouble?(one of my concerns is adding more snaps for a better fit might make it more confusing) The snaps were really easy to use, I had no problems with them except that no matter what I did I always needed a snap in the middle. It wasn't a big issue it is just how it worked out with her right now.
• Any other concerns or observations you have about the diaper?

Feed Back on Sugar Plum Baby Sour Apple Medium Tester #1

FYI I am testing fit and the new snap layout I want to use on Medium and Large Sugar Plum Baby Diapers!

Here is the Feed back I received on Medium Sour Apple Tester #1 :

Very well, the diaper is super cute and he seems very comfortable in it. I think the mediums will probably fit a much larger baby. I say this because I do not have a skinny child at all, he is pretty solid and is right at 25 pounds and while we didn't use the crossover snaps we used up to right before the two most middle snaps. So we probably have a few more pounds in this diaper at this height, and since he'll be growing upwards also I would bet this diaper will fit for months more. But I guess a much younger baby at the same weight would probably have the 25lbs as right at the limit.

Did you use the cross over snaps?(I ask this because I believe on skinnier babies the hip snaps maybe less effective)

no

Did you find that the extra wing snap(hip snap) helpful in keeping the diaper from drooping less?

yes

Were you able to use the snaps with very little trouble?(one of my concerns is adding more snaps for a better fit might make it more confusing)

not confusing at all, very very easy to use

Any other concerns or observations you have about the diaper?
