Fluffy Fridays- Smartbottoms Review and Giveaway! CLOSED

Like cloth diapers? New to cloth diapers and don't want to purchase without seeing a product? Like those home parties other companies have?  Well, Smart Bottoms combines all that into an awesome brand. 

Smart Bottoms is a cloth diaper company that is a little different than most. One reason is Smart Bottoms' home parties. Like other home party brands, Smart Bottoms wants you to see the product, and really get to know it as well. In order to ensure that you learn the most about Smart Bottoms, the Smart Bottoms party is hosted by a Smart Bottoms Distributor. 

We were sent two diapers to try out. The Smart One, and the Smart Cover with Smart Fold Insert.

 

First Thoughts.... these are kinda wide.

Let's first talk about the Smart Cover and Smart Fold.

This fits my two year old pretty well (we got the large size). The Smart Fold is very absorbent, which is great- but with that absorbency comes some bulk. I found that I could only tri-fold this and lay it in the cover, but that worked pretty well. One change that I would like to see is for the snaps to be covered. My son hates snaps touching his skin, so I had to be very careful about these. I do love that there are hip snaps, though, it makes this diaper pretty secure.

Brand: Smart Bottoms 

Price:  Smart Cover: $18 Smart Fold: $7

Type: Cover and Prefold

Fluff Factor: Fluffy

Containment: Good

Ease of use: B

Drying Time: Good

The Smart One diaper is Smart Bottoms' all-in-one diaper. 

All-in-one diapers are by far the easiest to use. No stuffing, no folding, just put 'em on and go.  The inside of the Smart One is so soft! I personally love the feeling, but Annabelle is very sensitive to wetness, so we have to use a fleece liner with this diaper (and any other diaper without a stay-dry material). 

This diaper is pretty wide in between the legs, but Annabelle didn't seem to mind. This diaper also has the uncovered snaps... I really prefer for them to be covered, and this diaper does leave snap marks on Annabelle (I don't think the snaps bother her, however). 

Here are a couple action shots of Annabelle in the diaper...

She was being very wiggly here, lol.  

Bum shot!

So cute!

There is definitely some fluff factor here. We don't use jeans with this diaper because they don't fit... but we love the leg warmers anyhow, so we don't mind too much. As with all AIO's the drying time is a bit longer, which we did note with the Smart One, but the convenience makes up for the drying time (in my opinion).

Brand: Smart Bottoms

Price:  $20

Type: All-in-one

Fluff Factor: Fluffy

Containment: Good

Ease of use: A

I haven't tried out Smart Bottom's parties yet, but I hope to in July! If/when I have a party I will be sure to share the experience with all of you!  Do you want to have a party? Check out the awesome perks of being a hostess!

In order to complete the review I received free product from the company. I received no monetary compensation for this post and my opinions are entirely my own. You may or may not have the same experience as I did with this product.
