Review:
I TRIED to do a video review, but the sound and the video weren't matching up well, and quite frankly, I didn't have the time to go back and do it again, SO you get a typed up review, which I hope is equally as stellar! (I will try my darnedest to do a video review next time, though!!)
Sizing/Rise:
OH MY GOODNESS!!! What a wonderful diaper! It has 4, not 3, FOUR different sizes, making it truly a OS diaper. I can totally see this fitting a newborn (Rump Arounds' website even claims a preemie can wear it!) all the way up to a 3 year old who is still in diapers! The weight range Rump Arounds says it will fit is 5-35 lbs (depending on the height/width of your child.) I can TOTALLY believe this to be true. Max is 21 months and a semi-lanky fellow. He has a littly belly, but not much. He wore he diaper on the "medium" setting (one snap from the top) and about halfway in on the snaps for the waist. it fit him snuggly, but he was not uncomfortable.
Fit/Trimness/Look:
I LOVE the fit of Rump Arounds diapers. So far, I've tried the 2 Snap Pocket Diaper and the C.D.L.C. They both fit about the same, which is absolutely amazingly! They are snug, without cutting into baby's back or legs. They do not leave red marks on baby's belly. With one insert in, the bulk between the legs is minimal and has never bothered Max in the slightest. He is super active, rough and (like most boys that are almost two) and has never behaved differently in a Rump Arounds cloth diaper compared to when he wears 'sposies. He actually seems to prefer the cloth diapers. (See the image in the slideshow below where he's examining the diaper? After he looked at it he said, "Good!" Ha!) Adding inserts in for nap/nighttime will make the diaper bulkier, but that is the case with all cloth diapers. There's no getting around it! Even with doubling the insert, though, the diaper doesn't gap from the waist and/or leg holes! (Using two microfiber inserts.)
Absorbency/Length of Wear:
Using the microfiber insert that was provided with this diaper, Max made it for 7 hours (I highly recommend changing your child more often than that!) with this diaper on, which included his nap (3 hours or so.) Max, as he's gotten older, has turned into a heavy wetter. In 'sposies, if I don't change him right before he goes down for nap, he wakes up soaked and often times soaks his sheets. If he goes to bed in anything but a night time 'sposie, he and his sheets are soaked. (Not trying to be gross, just making sure everyone understands how much of a heavy wetter he is!) In this diaper, he could have gone another couple of hours and still have been fine. The insert was only 3/4 "full" and the lining of diaper was dry! I would very easily put this diaper with two inserts on Max overnight and have all of the confidence that he and his sheets would be dry in the morning! Plus, with the double gussets, poop is MUCH better contained and HIGHLY unlikely to leak. (Max never pooped in this diaper during our trial period, but I have no doubt in my mind that the inner double gussets would have contained the poop no questions asked!
Recommendation:
I whole-heartedly give my 100% approval and recommendation for this product! 2 thumbs up! 5/5 stars! Gold medal. Stamp of approval! If you're looking for a premium cloth diaper that is cute, (c'mon! it says Rump on the butt!) high quality, fits well, budget-friendly, and kid-tested, mother-approved, I highly recommend the Rump-Arounds C.D.L.C. OS Pocket cloth diaper!

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!

If you could take 2 seconds and give this a click, it would mean so much to me! Thank you!!
