Rump Arounds Cloth Diaper Review

I am super excited about presenting Angela's Favorite Things first ever cloth diaper review!! Before even receiving a product to review, I email a document to the business owner to get some info from their point of view. I also visit their website(s) and read any info they share there. I feel like a review should be done fairly, honestly, and thoroughly, which includes knowing as much about a product/company as possible.

Review
Sizing/Rise: I feel like this is truly a one-size diaper, with the exception of if you have a TINY newborn. Since my "test subject," Max, is 16 months old, I cannot speak of the size of the diaper on a baby smaller than he, but I can truly see this diaper fitting babies from 8 lbs to at least 35 lbs as stated by the Rump Arounds' website. Max fit into the diaper on the smallest setting with the waist snaps meeting in the middle, but just barely. It fit him better on the medium rise setting with the waist snaps overlapping one snap. Max has a bit of a belly, but he is not rolling with the chubbiness. :-)

Fit/Trimness/Look: The fit of the diaper is superb! One of the complaints I hear/read about most often is that snap waist diapers don't get tight enough on their kiddos. What I love most about this dipe is that the waist snaps can be overlapped for an even tighter fit than those diapers without overlapping waist snaps. I only put 1 insert (the one that came with the diaper) in the diaper when testing it. Max is a VERY active toddler! He loves dancing, walking, running, etc. He had no difficulties whatsoever doing ANY of those activities. It also didn't LOOK bulky between his little legs. He didn't seem to notice the diaper (after his initial curiosity with the feel of the minkiness...which he loved) was even there while he played/danced, ran circles around the living room, etc. If you have a heavy wetter or for overnight wear, doubling the inserts WILL make it bulkier, however, I don't think it will impede the life of a busy toddler! :-)

Absorbency/Length of Wear: I tried pushing this diaper to it's max! (No pun intended!) During one of the test sessions, I put the diaper on Max at 8:30am. At 11am, I checked it before I laid him down for his nap. He had definitely peed at least once in the diaper, but it was nowhere near soaked. I even (hesitantly) touched the liner of the diaper with my bare hand to see if it was wet. It wasn't. The liner wicked the moisture away from Max's nether-regions very well. I then laid him down for a nap without changing him. When he woke up at 3:00pm, the diaper was wet, but not soaked. His clothes, blanket, and sheet were 100% dry. He wore the diaper from 8:30am until 3:00pm...aka 7.5 hours...and did not have one leak. It actually could have been worn even longer, if need be. The insert was only about 2/3 wet. In comparison, Max usually goes through 3 disposable diapers by this point in the day, not counting the night time diaper he wakes up in.

Recommendation: I would easily (and already have before this review even posted) recommend these diapers to other people. Not only are they affordable, adorable, soft, and well-made, they also hold a ton of liquid, all while keeping baby's bum dry! If you heard about Rump Arounds prior to reading this review and were on the fence about buying, please do not hesitate to purchase! Newbies, that goes for you, too! :-) OH! And before I forget, if you DO purchase a diaper from them, please mention my name! They reward loyalty/referrals with kickbacks! I can earn money towards a future purchase by you mentioning my name when purchasing. If you "like" them on FB, please leave them a comment saying Angela's Favorite Things sent you!

Disclaimer: All opinions are strictly my own. No compensation was received for posting a favorable or otherwise review. Rump Arounds sent me a diaper free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.
