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 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?

Very Baby One Size Cloth Diapers

Susan is not new to sewing Very Baby Diapers and has been sewing them off on since 2005. The Very Baby One size diaper was released in 2009 and has had extensive testing done by other Very Baby WAHM's, but this is the first time Susan has sewn these diapers.

Susan will, before Thanksgiving, have 4 Testers available just for some general feed back. All of the testers are made out of Cotton Sherpa(90% Cotton 10% Poly) the Sherpa that Susan is using is nice thick soft stuff. The fabric weighs 17ozs per yard.

These diapers will fit most babies from 12lbs to 35lbs +
Rise is 13 inch to 18 inch
12 inch to 23 inch waist

You will find these diapers have 3 rise settings to grow with the baby. 3 Wing snaps, on each wing, to help with the wing droop and cross over snaps to get a nice snug fit in your little one's waist.

There is a small quick dry soaker and a large quick dry soaker for each diaper. The small soaker can be used for both the small and medium settings to help keep them trim. The large soaker can be used on the medium setting but you will need to fold it down to fit the diaper. This adds absorbency but will make the diaper a little bit more bulky over using the small soaker with the medium setting. Of course the larger soaker is a prefect fit for the large rise setting and a little hint: on the Large setting you can lay in the small soaker to use as a doubler when needed.

Please join our newsletter to find out when Susan will be stocking these free testers!

What will be next on the cuttong table?

Susan will be sewing up 4 Very Baby One Size Diaper testers next. The cotton sherpa is in being washed and will be cut into tonight. Pictures coming soon.

Out cotton sherpa is nice soft stuff. This cotton poly knit blend is fuzzy on 1 side and smooth on another. (90%cotton/10%Poly) Knit fabric need a little polyester in them to hold their shape other wise these fabrics would fall apart. Cotton sherpa is our most affordable fabric and is a great all around fabric to use in diapers.

All testers will have cute prints as well.
