Common Questions About Fuzzi Bunz

09/07/2008 by

There are many questions about cloth diapers. Although Fuzzi Bunz is one of the leading manufacturers of cloth diapers, many people still have concerns. Here are some of the most common questions and their responses.

Is there a warranty on my diapers? The answer is yes. You are covered against snap defect for 18 months. Elastic defects and sewing or workmanship defects are covered for 60 days. The warranty does not cover repelling, shot elastic, staining, leaking, or size differences.

How should they be washed? Separate the insert from the diaper and store in a dry pail. If there are solids present, just knock them into the toilet. Small bits of solids that cling to the lining will wash out in the wash. Begin by running a cold rinse cycle or a soak cycle. Then, wash in a hot cycle. Use recommended detergents, and do not use bleach. If you have a very dirty load you can run an additional cold rinse, but this step is optional. Do not use fabric softener, since this reduces the absorbency of the diapers. Either line dry them or tumble dry on low heat.

What do I do about stains? Stains do not affect the functionality of your Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers. However, if you do want to get stains out, the best way to do it is to lay them out in the sun for a few hours.

Do I need to use a diaper cover? One of the great things about Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers is that there is no need for a cover. These diapers are made with a waterproof outer layer to contain leaks.

How often do I need to change my baby? Every baby has different needs. On average, though, you should probably change your baby every 2-3 hours for a heavy wetter, and 3-4 hours for a lighter wetter.

If I am new to cloth diapers, how many should I order? Fuzzi Bunz recommends that you begin with at least 12 diapers. This means you will be doing laundry about every day or every other day. Most people eventually order additional diapers so that they can stretch the time between washings.

My baby's diaper leaked during the night. What do I do? If you find that your child is leaking at night, it is helpful to add additional inserts for more absorbency. This will help the baby stay dry and her crib clean as well!

Unlike other cloth diaper that only come in small, medium, and large sizes, Fuzzi Bunz understands that specialties sizes are needed as well.

Happy Heinys, A Great Choice

09/07/2008 by

Happy Heinys is a cloth diaper company that makes a variety of products to fit every diapering style. This is a very family and environmentally conscious company. Here is some more information about Happy Heinys and their products.

This company was started by a mom, named Linda Byerline, who is a work at home mom, also known as WAHM. She runs her business with two other WAHMs, one of which is her sister-in-law. They keep it small to keep quality high. They started Happy Heinys because all of the diapers that they tried did not fit their kids, so they created a custom fit diaper. It grew into a company that they run from their homes. They are proud of the fact that they are moms first and diaper creators second. They began their business as a way to stay home with their kids and provide superior cloth diapering systems to other parents. Here are some great things about Happy Heinys and their products.

Happy Heinys offers a wide variety of cloth diapering choices. They have two All In One, or AIO, diapers. One of these, the One Size diaper, does just as it's name suggests. It is designed to fit your baby from birth right up until potty training. This is a great savings since you will not need to buy a supply of each different size diaper.

The other AIO is the pocket diaper. This diaper is waterproof on the outside so you do not need an additional cover. You simply stuff the pocket on the inside of the diaper with the liner, and put it on the baby just like a disposable. It is really that easy!

They also offer training pants for kids who are ready to start potty training. These training pants give you several options. For a toddler who is just starting out there is the choice of snaps down the side for easy clean up. For an older child or one who has trouble wetting the bed, the sides can be sewn shut and they can pull on and off like real underwear.

Some great products for moms are available as well. They have reusable pads that snap into place. This makes that time of the month much more economical. Users have said that these pads are so much more comfortable than disposable one and they never leak. They also have breast pads for nursing mothers. These pads come in two different materials to compensate for different absorbency needs. They can be washed and used again.

Happy Heinys recommends that you wash any of their products before using them. This is simply because several people touch these products before you get them. It is best to be safe and wash them before the first use.

Many people like those adorable prints, but does it affect the product's function? Well, the answer is yes and no. The printed fabrics tend to be less waterproof than the solid fabrics. This is because they are treated differently. Because of this, it is better to use the printed fabrics for daytime use when you will be changing the baby more often. Solid fabrics work great during the daytime and at night.

Since Happy Heinys offer a wide variety of products, you can get everything you need for cloth diapering from one place. It is also great to know that you are supporting traditional family values and allowing moms to stay home and be with their kids.

Tips to Make Using Kissavus Cloth Diapers Easier

09/07/2008 by

Kissaluvs are a great brand of cloth diapers. There are however, many questions that new users have about certain aspects of using them. Here are some of clever tips to make using these great cloth diapers easier.

Contour Diaper Tricks

If you have a baby who is thin or on the low end of the weight range there are a few things you can do to make the diaper fit better.

- Try folding down the front of the diaper and tucking it under the doubler.
- If the wings overlap, use just one pin to secure it. This will give you a tighter fit.
- To avoid sagging, pin the diaper lower. This will tighten the fit around the legs.
- Pull the diaper as snug as possible when you pin it. After you take your fingers out it will be just right.

Here are some other uses for contour diapers:

- Use them as extra protection at night inside a fitted diaper. You could even put it around the outside of the fitted diaper between the cover and the diaper to prevent leaks.

- They make great stuffers for pocket diapers.

- You can even use it as a pad for the heavier flow after giving birth.

Fitted Diaper Tricks

There are lots of great ways to make your fitted Kissaluvs work better. Here are some ideas.

- To pack them for travel, roll them up, front to back, and snap them into a ball using the overlap snap. This works great for keeping the mess inside the diaper until you get home.

- If you have a baby with thin legs or you are using a larger diaper with a smaller cover, getting it to fit just right can be hard. Try tucking the leg ruffle under into the diaper. This keep leaks contained and uses up the extra room.

There are several ways to get a better fit for a thinner baby or those in the lower end of the size range.

- Get a tighter fit using the overlap snaps. Snap the side with three snaps first and then snap the other side over top of it.

- Snap it as tight as you can. You will have your finger in it to snap it, but when you take your finger out, it will be perfect.

- Don't snap the wing snaps in order. Snap the wing snaps over the front snaps.

- After you snap the baby into the diaper, pull the part of the diaper that is at the baby's hips up higher. The elastic and the snapped wings will help to keep the diaper up and you will get rid of any sagging.

Kissaluvs has a great guarantee program. Defective products will be repaired or replaced within 30 days of purchase. This does not include items that are misused or from the Outlet Store. There is a Lifetime Snap Guarantee. This means that in the useful life of a Kissaluvs diaper, the company will replace or repair any snap that breaks or is damaged. If they cannot reliably repair the snap, they will replace the item. You do not need the receipt, nor do you need to be the original owner. As long as the tag is attached to verify that it is indeed an original, you can send it in to be repaired. The definition of 'usable life' is completely up to them, since cloth diapers do eventually wear out. That is my kind of guarantee!

Overall, Kissaluvs is a hardworking, family oriented, reputable cloth diaper company. They offer quality products at a pretty reasonable price. Their website offers great tips and information about cloth diapering to help families. This is a great product produced by a great company.

So many parents today mistakenly believe that disposable diapers are the best, indeed the only, diapering choice for their baby. But, not too long ago cloth diapers were the only option. Parents used them with no problem. Here is a look at why cloth diapers are a better choice than disposable diapers.

Disposable diapers have chemicals in them. They are treated to make them super absorbent, but these chemicals against your baby's skin 24 hours a day for the first two and a half years of their life cannot be good. Cloth diapers are made of fabric that is not treated with chemicals that could be harmful. This makes them a healthier choice.

Cloth diapers are a more economical choice in the long run. If you invest in quality cloth diapers and use them properly, they can last you through several children. Over one child's lifetime it costs an estimated $2,000 to keep them in disposable diapers. Reusable cloth diapers can cost as little as $400-$500 including washings. Although the upfront cost is more, the overall cost is much less.

Cloth diapers cause a lot fewer diaper rashes. Because parents who use cloth diapers change their baby much more often, there is less chance for bacteria to build up. This results in fewer painful diaper rashes, and much happier babies.

Cloth diapers can be washed and reused many times. Even after it's life as a diaper, it can be used for other things like dust rags or burp clothes.

Some people argue that cloth diapers are not effectively better than disposables for the environment due to repeated washings. First, the water that is used to wash the diapers can be recycled for other uses. The cost in terms of electricity to wash and dry them is much less than the cost to build new and bigger landfills.

If you don't want to bother with washing them, you can get a diaper service that delivers clean diapers to your door every week. You simply send the dirty ones back with them and they wash them for you. You don't even have to use pins anymore. The new diaper covers hold them in place for you. This is cloth diapering at it's most convenient.

Cloth diapers are so much cuter than disposables. You can get cloth diapers and diaper covers in any fabric pattern that you so desire. There are so many out there to choose from, that even the pickiest parent can find a great look. This way your baby can be well dressed right down to his or her diaper.

There are so many great things about cloth diapering, it's hard to get them all in. From the cost to the environmental factors, cloth diapers really are the way to go. If you still don't believe me check it out for yourself. There is lots of great information out there.

Many parents also report that their child is potty trained sooner than average when they have used cloth diapers. Perhaps it is because parents who use cloth diapers change them more often so the learns to recognize when they are wet.

Many parents are realizing the benefits of cloth diapers. This great economical solution to diapering your baby is coming back into fashion as more and more people are choosing it.
