FLUFF BUTT: Nubunz Diapers

One thing I've learned about cloth diapering is that it can be very expensive at first. It is recommended that you start your stash with enough diapers to last you two days. Depending on what kind of diaper you choose to use, the expense varies, but I prefer AIO and Pockets so I used that example!

I found this example on Punkernoodle Baby:

Perfect Fit Diapers all the way:

22 Small pocket/AIO diapers ($17.50 each average): $385

18 Medium pocket/AIO diapers: $315

12 Large pocket/AIO diapers: $210

Waterproof pail liner: $17

Total Cost: $927 to diaper your first child, $0 to diaper your second.

That's a lot to be hit with all at one time! So when I heard about NuBunz Cloth Diapers I was very excited to try them! I first caught wind of them on JustMommies Cloth Diaper Forum and then on DiaperSwappers.com. Everyone was buzzing about the great pocket diapers that are super affordable! ($9.50 a diaper!)
If you recalculate the example above with Nubunz OS Pocket diapers:
25 Nubunz ONE SIZE Pocket diapers: $237.50
(One size fits typically fits from 8 ls to 38 lbs= birth to Potty Training.)
Waterproof Pail Liner: $17
Diapering your child from birth to potty training: $254.50

That is $672.50 cheaper than if you buy a stash of the typical AIO/Pocket diaper!

A little more about the Diaper!:
Nubunz is a USA made OS pocket diaper that is "water proof, durable, safe, reusable, eco friendly, adjustable, one size fits most, and have an anti-wick area to keep baby dry!" They pride themselves on their quality product and wonderful customer service! They offer a good variety of colors and the choice of snaps or velcro! They use the same velcro as the top-brand diapers, and include the laundry tab! (It is super annoying when there is none! I hate pulling the diapers apart!)

The diaper came in a sealed plastic bag with TWO soakers. I inspected the diaper and it looked very neatly made. Also, the colors are GORGEOUS. I received the OS pocket diaper in light orange (salmon) with snaps to review and the Aqua snaps for giveaway. I also notice how thin/trim and soft the diaper is!

I wanted to prep the diaper and inserts right away so that I could add them to my wearable stash! Nubunz recommends a rinse cycle, cyle with detergent, and then another rinse cycle or two, followed by a tumble dry on low. Once I had done that routine a few times, I was ready to use them! I have been using them on and off for the last two weeks and really like the diaper. I have had minimal leaks. (Once again with the forgetting to change him more often than I do in a sposie!) The diaper fits CBug great and will fit him for a long time to come. He's currently wearing it on the medium setting and has room to grow! Since the diaper is so trim, I have had no problems with fitting his clothes over the diaper.

I have only used the Nubunz once at night so far. I stuffed it with both inserts and said a little prayer! In the morning the diaper was a little damp in the front, but his sheets were still dry! I think next time I will try stuffing it with a different/thicker insert.

So far, I really do like this diaper. It's the trimmest that we have for Caden that actually fits him well, so I enjoy having a diaper that still fits under his clothes that are on the brink of being too small. The quality is great, and the price is AMAZING. I highly recommend them, especially to anyone who would love to build onto their stash without spending a fortune! At $9.50 a diaper, I recommend you buy more than one!

On to the really good part... Celine (wonderful woman!) has been gracious enough to give me the opportunity for one of you to try a Nubunz OS Pocket Diaper! The winner will receive an Aqua (gorgeous color!) OS Pocket Diaper with snaps!
