About a month ago I bought an AIO from Mommy’s Touch to try out.

It was supposed to be a one-size, easy to clean cloth diaper, but I was really confused when I opened it. It had a bunch of strange flaps and a small snap-in insert.

The thing was weird, and I couldn’t figure out how it was supposed to be “one-size.” After a few washings, some of the stitches came undone, so I contacted the company. They have a Repair Service, but I ended up stitching it back together myself. While I was browsing their web site, I came across the directions for using the diaper, and by golly, it’s actually really cool.

All you have to do to make the diaper smaller is fold the front down.  The tabs velcro right to it, no snaps, no hassle. How did I not figure that out myself??

Now that I’ve been using it for a while, I really love it. Plus, it’s totally cute on Nicky’s little bum! My only hope is that they don’t regularly fall apart, like mine did.

Have you seen this yet, ya’ll?  This just about made me wet my pants just a little.  I’m still relatively new to cloth diapering and have only really tried gDiapers and the bumGenius One-Size 3.0 (a pocket diaper).   And, I will admit, I completely and totally adore my BG 3.0 diaper.  I only have three (so far) but would marry it if I had more.  A lot of parents complain of the bulkiness of the one-size feature on a smaller child, but I don’t think it looks anything but adorable.  I even like the suedecloth lining on the inside as it does it’s job of being soft against baby’s bottom but keeping the wetness away very well.

But this right here seems like a gift from heaven.  It has the features I really enjoy from the 3.0, but without the hassle of stuffing the pocket (which, yes, can get old).  Plus, baby has organic cotton fibers next to his or her skin instead of synthetic ones.  And organic, at that!  The liners go a step further, even, by being adjustable to where you need the most absorbency and since they aren’t completely sewn down, help the diaper to dry quicker than your average AIO.

I think you’ve heard it here first, folks.  I think this diaper may very well be the end all, be all.  It’s a tad pricey now, just under $25, but I think one (or two) (or more) of these might have to make it in my next diaper order.  It’s simply too much to resist.  Of course, if I do end up getting one of these charming devils, I’ll be sure to share with you all what I think of it!
