Newborn Diaper Reviews: Super Green Label NB AIO

Super Green Label is one of my favorite WAHMs. I love that she is a WAHM and an Army Wife supporting her adorable little family with her amazing crafting skills and holding down the home front even when her husband is off fighting for our freedom. I also love that she is so creative and really puts a lot of hard work and effort into her items and it really shows, her things last very long. I have ordered countless items from her from reusable nursing pads to diapers, wipes to large receiving blankets, wetbags to baby slings. Her craftsmanship is amazing, everything I've ever gotten from her has stood the test of time and wear. I am NOT easy on my cloth diapers especially. I want to get them as thoroughly clean as quickly as possible. I use my stuff and I use it hard between having three kids, being a working mom, etc. I have never been disappointed by her products and the ones I got when my second son was born are still going strong now that my third son is using them. Her customer service is exceptional as well. She really cares about her customers and their satisfaction. Everyone I know who has ordered from her loves her and her awesome products. Her prices are great too, to the point I somehow wonder how she even makes a profit.

 

Pros

 

Some of the pros of these diapers are:

 

They are the most absorbent NB AIOs I've tried my son still hasn't outpeed them or outgrown them at 4 months

The inside is super soft minky that is super soft on your little one's bum

The fun print

Sturdy snaps

AIOs are really easy, much like disposables you just pull it off and put a new one on no stuffing, pinning, etc

 

Cons

 

Some of the cons of these diapers are:

 

Really, I can't think of any. I seriously mean it.

These NB AIOs have fit my son since day one. They have hemp inners and hold a lot of pee. At 12lbs and 4 months old he still fits into them and they still hold all his pee without a booster! That's what I call magical! I love it because there is no stuffing or pinning but it still is more absorbent than the other AIOs I've used with him. They are great for those tired nights because you just unsnap them, snap a new one on, and toss it in the pail! Pair it with Super Green Label double sided wipes (one side terry and the other side flannel!) and you have an unstoppable newborn stash! If I have another baby I will for sure be getting a lot more of these diapers. They are one of my top three favorite diapers for newborns for sure!

Bottom Line

AMAZING. I don't think there is any other way to put it. Try them and you'll understand they are just beyond great!!!

Where to buy them

Super Green Label mostly does business through facebook, check out their page and see pictures of items she's completed, pictures of fabric she has on hand, etc! While you're there don't forget to check out the custom maternity gowns, wet bags, reusable nursing pads, crocheted baby hats, and much more! You can also see her items on her website! If you can think of it, I bet she can make it, and she offers a discount when you make a big order rather than many small orders so get a bunch of diapers, wipes, and other things from her, I am positive you won't regret it!

And because I cannot accurately describe how AWESOME this diaper is, check out the pictures! I chose a Doctor Who tardis patch on galaxy print PUL! Ask her about your custom order today!

  

OsoCozy AIO: A review!

I'll be honest, I was hesitant to start using AIOs. I've heard they are super absorbent and very convenient, but take FOREVER to dry and let's face it, if you are in this for saving money, as most are, and, infact, I am, the price can be very hard to swallow! When I found the OsoCozy diaper brand I fell in love with their products. Each time I have been skeptical because they are budget priced and I've heard time and time again you get what you pay for, but it's not true with this line! So far I haven't truly disliked anything I have tried from them! Their fitteds are our overnight solutions and I just adore the stay dry better fit prefolds! So I finally bit the bullet and tried the OsoCozy AIO!

 

 

 

 

The Pros

 

I really liked how absorbent these are. No, you can't leave them on for hours on end, but they are great for outings when you don't want to change them as much, and they are great for nap times. They really hold a lot of liquid.

These diapers are also really easy. They close with a hook and loop closure just like a disposable diaper and there is no stuffing, snapping, folding, fastening, or anything else involved! They are perfect for daycare, beginners, middle of the night changes, and daddies! My husband loves that he doesn't have to stuff them like our pockets or fold and secure them like our prefolds. Instead he just puts it on exactly like you would a disposable diaper! Easy peasy!

 

 

The Cons

 

Honestly the only con I could find is that they take a long time to dry. There really is no avoiding that since they are so absorbent, so of course they not only soak up pee, but water from the washer. These puppies went through once with the rest of the diaper laundry and THREE more times by themselves, that's right, by themselves! For a total of FOUR runs through the dryer! Do I have time to wait and not wash clothes because the dryer is taken by one diaper? No. I'm a working mom with two jobs, a blog, two wonderful boys, a husband, a dog, and a house that all need my attention! I do not have time to let diapers dry for hours, I generally have at least a load of regular laundry and a load of diaper laundry each day, sometimes two or more loads of laundry and one of diaper laundry! I just don't have the time or dryer space.

 

Bottom Line

 

These are great for daycare, babysitters, when mama is sick, or nap times. Would I use them all day every day? No. Am I totally in love with this diaper? Eh. I'd rather just use OsoCozy fitteds. They are a little cheaper, really absorbent, and don't take nearly as long to dry! If one took me so long to dry, how long would a huge load of nothing but AIOs take me to dry? Do I hate them? No. Will I never use them again? No. I will keep them on hand for sure, and probably use at least a couple times a week for naps and such but I do not foresee myself reaching for them first. I do plan on buying more OsoCozy fitteds to add to my stash over time and I may buy a couple more AIOs and just keep them aside for when my husband feels sick or I'm sick or whatever. (My husband works nights so he is the one who watches the boys while I'm at said two jobs, bless his soul.)

 

Would I recommend them?

 

Yes, yes, and YES! If you already like AIOs, I would recommend them. If you want to try an AIO, I would recommend them. Honestly, they are great diapers, they just aren't right for our entire stash!

 

Where can you buy them?

 

You can find OsoCozy AIOs and other OsoCozy products at Mama's Emporium!

A Post All About AIOs!

What is an AIO diaper?

AIO stands for All In One. An AIO diaper is a diaper in which the insert, or absorbent material, is sewn or otherwise fastened inside a pocket and cannot be removed. The insert doesn't touch the baby. This kind of diaper is most like a disposable in that it goes on with snaps or Velcro and the entire thing comes off. It is waterproof so you don't need a cover, you don't have to take out the insert or change the inserts, etc. You cannot customize the absorbency unless you add a doubler, which can add bulk. AIOs take longer to wash and dry but are more daddy/daycare/babysitter/grandparent friendly and easier when making the transition from disposables to cloth. They are easier to change when you have a squirmy baby and are especially easy for toddlers. There are more layers to get clean and you can have complications with them not drying all the way. Because it takes loner to wash and dry them they spend more time in the dryer which can hurt them and make them not last as long.

I Recommend

I am currently in the testing phase of OsoCozy AIOs. I'm not sure about them yet but they seem absorbant, although drying time is VERY long. (More than twice the time of my prefolds, pockets, inserts, and doublers!) So I will come back to you when I know more how it works.

 

 

AIO May be Right For You:

 

You need something quick and convenient

 

You are making the switch from disposables to cloth, especially late in the game

 

You have a very squirmy toddler or baby

 

Your child is in daycare and you plan to cloth diaper at daycare

 

Your children's other caregivers are hesitant about cloth

 

You only plan on CDing one child

 

 

Some Problems You May Encounter With AIOs:

 

They take longer to wash and dry

 

They may wear out faster

 

They may not get washed or dried all the way which can cause problems
