Sponsor Spotlight - Glowbug Diaper *Review*

I am excited to bring you another sponsor for the Mother's Day Cloth Diaper giveaway event


 Sarah from Glow Bug Cloth Diapers was kind enough to send me one of the girl prints to review and is generously offering one of my readers the chance to win a Glow Bug Diaper.

About Glow Bug Cloth Diapers
 Glow Bug Cloth Diapers are designed with the needs of overwhelmed expectant and new mothers in mind.  Everything about these diapers makes cloth diapering easy for any parent, even if they have never used cloth diapers before.  
One thing that sets Glow Bug Cloth Diapers apart from other brands is that they are sold in packages of 6 or 12 sleeve style diapers with snap in microfiber inserts.  Every order also comes with a free wet bag - a $15 value!  Glow Bug Diapers are unique because of the innovative double gusset, sleeve style pocket design, hot prints and colors AND they are amazingly priced at only $150 for 12 diapers or as low as $70 for 6 diapers, making these some of the most affordable diapers out there.  Plus they come with 2 snap in inserts.  They are made with slim dry fabric making these diapers very trim.

My Opinion

Adorable!!!  We got the butterfly print and love it.  This diaper is very easy to use and get a great fit.  We did experience a leak the very first time we used it.  I'm not sure why we did, but that was the only time that happened.   My favorite feature of this diaper is the price!  How can it not be.  These are very affordable diapers.  I love that the insert agitates out in the wash.  I have a few snap in inserts on diapers and it has rapidly become one of my favorite features.  On this diaper though the insert does come unsnapped during the wash cycle and agitates out completely.  This means it definitely gets very clean, however, it also means I have to find the right insert to stuff it again.  Not a big deal at all, but something I did notice.  The waterproof flaps over both openings ensure the mess stays out of the pockets for easier cleanup.  





I love the adorable print packages and the spectrum colors.  I am very excited to try this diaper out on my baby when he or she is born in a few months to see how well the crossover snaps work to fit on the newborn baby.  The double rows of snaps with the square tabs to create a very snug fit all around the waist.  I love the colored snaps that match the cuteness of the diaper.   This is one of the trimmest diapers we own and I love that.  The edges of the tabs do tend to curl up a bit for some reason.

What I would change

I really wish the inserts stayed snapped in.  That just makes it that much quicker when I am folding and stuffing the diapers if I don't have to find the insert.  While I like that the diapers are sold in packages of 6 or 12, I wish that I could buy just one.  Usually when I have (want) to purchase diapers, it's only one or two at a time so it costs less.  I do however think this is a great feature for new mother's just starting their stash of cloth diapers.    That being said...I love this diaper.  These two things are just personal preferences and neither of them affects the functionality of the diaper.

I would recommend Glow Bug Cloth Diapers.  They are super affordable, absolutely adorable and work fantastic.  If you only want to try one before committing, you are going to have to win one, so stay tuned!

  1. I love the idea of a snap-in insert. It seems like it would be quicker than stuffing, and you don't have to worry about the soaking portion moving out of hot spots. I also love that they include a wet bag with every order. Bonus!!

  31. Our little lady would look dapper in the ladybug & daisy diaper! The more reviews I read on these diapers, the more I want to own some. However, you made a good point that they only come in packages. Maybe I'll just have to buy the citrus one to try it out : )

  43. I too wish you could try out just one instead of buying a large amount. Though they are quite affordable, and I love that they have double pocket openings and come with a wet bag! I really like the LE citrus print - would be super cute for a boy or girl topped with a light t this summer!
