Best Bottom diapers is a privately owned family corporation. A husband and wife team work together to ensure the highest quality products while following responsible environmental and social business practices.
Best Bottom products have all been thoroughly researched and are all PVC-free and CPSIA compliant, this helps to reduce the environmental impact of the diapers and ensures they are safe for all those adorable bottoms! Best Bottom diapers also are designed to fit from birth to potty training. This means by using Best Bottom, not only do you reduce the landfill waste from disposable diapers, but you reduce footprint, and cost, of your cloth diapers as well (when compared to sized cloth diapers)!
Being new to the cloth diaper world, I like a cloth diaper that is simple and user friendly. BestBottom's diaper
system is exactly that!
The Best Bottom one size diapering system is not a pocket diaper, not an all in one, not a fitted diaper and not a prefold system...
The Best Bottom
reusable diaper consists of a waterproof shell and a snap in insert. That's it, it is that easy. From a beginner standpoint this diaper is very user friendly.
Here is the Best Bottom diaper system I received for review:
Here is the inside of the Best Bottom shell:
My first thoughts... I loved the simplicity of the diaper system, but I thought the waterproof cover looked like it would be terribly uncomfortable next to the skin.
Trying it out...
This is Annabelle when I first tried the diaper on. If you are a seasoned cloth diaper user you may notice what I didn't do...but if you are a newbie (like me!) let me tell you.
See all those snaps on the diaper? Well, those are what make the diaper adjustable. The diaper doesn't look like it fits well at all like this, does it? After talking to my friend (who helped convince me to try cloth) I was able to figure out how to adjust those wonderful snaps!
Hey! That looks better now doesn't it? In order to make this (and most one size) diaper(s) smaller you take the bottom snaps and snap them to the top. There are three rows of adjust-ability on the Best Bottom shell, so depending on how big your child is you can snap up one, two, or three rows.
How did the Best Bottom hold up?
I havn't had any leaks from the Best Bottom diaper. None. Now, I haven't tried it as an overnight diaper, but it has been a trooper during the day! I can't tell you how many explosions our Best Bottom diaper has successfully contained! The leg gussets really do their job!
Since our Annabelle is still a frequent poop-er we don't get to use the Best Bottom shell through more than a couple changes. When there is an explosion, I do find that the leg gussets get a little messy, but that is what they are there for! One nice thing about the Best Bottom shell is that if you manage to not get the cloth part soiled (or if you child only wets in the diaper) all you need to do is wipe it out and replace the insert!
Now, remember how I worried the waterproof part of the shell would irritate baby's skin? I am happy to say I have seen no ill effects from the shell on miss Annabelle's skin. In fact, very little of the inside of the shell actually touches Annabelle. The only place that comes in contact with her (with the diaper in the smallest size adjustment) is the front wings of the diaper.
