FLUFF BUTT: DryBees

Every new mom that I know looks
high and low for ANY shortcut they can take!
So when I was given the opportunity toreview a Drybees AIO Hybrid
I jumped at it!

From The Site:
"DryBees All In One Hybrid Diapers ($16.95) are made from the same pattern as the traditional DryBees pocket style diapers, but these have their own three layer microfiber insert enclosed within the body of the diaper and leg casings for a sure fit.

Since the soaker is sewn within the diaper these diapers truly are as easy as disposables. Here is the hybrid part - for those babies that need a little extra there is a pocket for an additional insert. DryBees AIO Hybrid's are the perfect solution for the heavier wetter, day trips or night time use."

My Opinion:
I like my Drybees... alright. Is it my absolutely FAVORITE diaper? No. Why? Caden is a pretty heavy wetter. I have to make sure to remember to check the AIO continuously to make sure it's not wet. If I stuff it... it's too bulky. I think it may have to do with the fact that I asked for a size medium... which last until 22 lbs. Caden was a very CHUNKY 20 lbs at his 6 month appoinment... 6 weeks ago! So the diaper is VERY snug on CBug. I believe I need to plan ahead for growth. CHALK IT UP to a new diaper lesson learned! It also takes a little longer to dry. No big deal to me... but you never know who might throw a fit about it!

But this diaper is definitely one the I use alot, and is ALWAYS set out for when my husband has Caden by himself! He will ONLY use diapers that he thinks is "easy"! Anything with an insert or cover... forget it! He will only use the ones that are most like a sposie. Just velcro and go!

EASY... PEASY... LEMON SQUEEZY!!!

I tell you one thing though... I cannot wait to have a girl! Just so that I can order some of these...

It's the Drybees Lacies diaper! At $16.95 it makes the perfect little dress accessory!
Drybees also offers a nighttime fleece diaper and pocket diaper!

All come in a variety of colors and even a few prints!

I'd love to give you the chance to try it out for yourself.
Good thing the DryBees people agreed!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

ON A THURSDAY!!

Sorry everyone! I've been super MIA this week (during an event... EKK!) because we are moving- and getting everything ready to put our home up for sale! Of course, I left everything till the last minute... so it's all been a mad dash! My goal now is to get one FLUFF BUTT review and giveaway posted a day until I have no more left! Wish me luck!

Anyways...
onto Wordless Wednesday.

Caden slept in his crib for the first time the other night!
