Sweet Pea Pocket Diaper Review and Giveaway!

    Happy Tuesday TMGers, here I am again to share with you one of my favorite diaper companies ... Sweet Pea Diapers!  I first fell in love when I started using their OS covers. I bought 2 and now own almost every color! They are very well made, I have never had any leaks or blow-outs. They have cross-over snaps, double leg gussets, come in a variety of colors and are super affordable. Other than the 2 "designer" covers that I bought just for the print (because that's all they are really good for), Sweet Pea Diaper Covers are the ONLY covers I use! And I have recently been lucky enough to try one of her OS Pocket Diapers, which is what I am going to review for you today.

     I recieved an Indigo OS Pocket Diaper for review and I must say that I am in love with this diaper as well! I have tried many pockets and they are all pretty much the same ~ you get a microfiber insert and you stuff it in the back. Here is where Sweet Pea mixes it up... I recieved 2 microfiber inserts, a small and a large. The large is quite unique, it has snaps so that you can adjust the size on it which is awesome for a OS diaper and then the small can be used as a doubler. As for the pocket diaper itself, it is open on both sides making for easy stuffing and easy washing ~ no need to unstuff it before you wash, just throw it in and the insert(s) with come out on their own!

    I first tried this diaper on Captain Caveman. As you can see from the pictures it fit quite well. There were no gaps at the legs or waist and it was quite trim eventhough I was using both of the inserts.



    He wore this for a couple hours without any leaking issues or red marks on his skin. So it worked very well for day time use.  I also tried this diaper at night for my super heavy wetter but in addition to the 2 inserts I also added a hemp doubler and he awoke dry.

    Next I used it on the Velociraptor and it fit just a nice on her as it did on her brother. There were no gaps at the legs or waist nor were there any leaks, blow outs or red marks from the elastic.




    She wore this for a few hours with both inserts and was dry when changed. She also wore this  overnight where she slept for about 7 hours and there were no issues at all. 


    This diaper is amazing! It withstood all the "tests" that I put it through and passed with flying colors! The overlapping snaps and snapdown rise make this diaper very versitile and very easy to use no matter your little one's shape or size. It comes in several different colors as well which makes coordinating you little one's outfit with a cover a breeze. I would definitely reccomend this diaper to anyone using cloth!

    I love learning a little about the companies I review and I love sharing their stories with you so here's a little bit from Nancy at Sweet Pea Diapers ...


   " Sweet Pea was started in Canada to give families the choice of a budget-friendly product line without compromising quality. We have 90 retailers worldwide including a distributor in the USA and in Australia. We will be revealing 2 new colors and 1 print this week! Our products come in 12 colors, range from o/s covers to prefolds and from wipes to wet bags! There is a wonderful variety. " ~ Nancy
   Awesome Nancy, thank you! I must say that you ladies (and gentlemen) are really lucky because Nancy has offered up one of her awesome OS pocket diapers or OS diaper covers (your choice) in the OWL print! I own the OWL cover and I must say that it is a super cute and a gender neutral print (and probably my favorite print, so far! Wait til you see her newest print... It too is a must have!)
   You can check out Sweet Pea Diapers on their website at: www.sweetpeadiaper.com
  

    Thank you for inviting me into your homes again this week so that I may share this awesome diaper with you and GOOD LUCK!

  93. I like using natural products in my home because I have four children with another on the way. Children get into everything. I still remember all the times I had to call poison control when my oldest was little because every time I blinked she'd gotten into something else and a few times it was a cleaner or other chemical. Thankfully the outcomes were all good. With natural products I don't have so much to worry about.
