Bubbles Couture Diaper Review & Giveaway!

 Meet Bubbles Couture, maker of the cutest diapers in the world.
 
Handmade in Canada, these cloth diapers are both luxurious and adorable, and as far as I know, are the only diapers designed by an actual fashion designer. By using cotton embellishments on PUL, your child’s bum is taken to a whole new level while also being comfortable thanks to the VERY soft plush or suedecloth inner lining.We were sent the above diaper, a style named “Woof!” along with a matching bamboo insert.
What we think: You already know that I think it’s an exceedingly adorable diaper, and also super-duper comfy on my little one’s bottom because of the soft lining. The elastic doesn’t leave marks unless it’s truly too tight, and I never had a problem with the snaps coming undone. The insert is the thinnest I think I’ve ever seen and so is easy to stuff into the pocket opening and doesn’t bulk up the diaper. Even when I double the inserts, they stay snugly in the pocket and I’ve had zero wicking problems! Overall, this diaper wins out because it’s so fashionable and soft.
Cons to this diaper include that the leg adjustment system is tricky. You adjust the legs by reaching into the elastic casing that’s left open and pulling on the elastic. Along the elastic, there are snaps put through so that you can pull a snap through the opening and it can’t slide back in unless you push it into the casing. The good thing to this is that it really isn’t going to un-size itself once you set the elastic where you want it. The bad news is that it’s hard to pull through and I’m worried that I’ll stretch out the elastic in the process. When adjusting the waist snaps, it can also look a little funny since it wont always look symmetrical to the other snap placements. I think this is just due to the triangular design.
I also found that I really needed to add a microfiber doubler to use with the bamboo insert for my toddler daughter. Otherwise, the appliqued decorations on the diaper would start to soak through.
Other stuff…We also received a can of their organic diaper rash balm. It’s certainly the most unique I’ve seen! Instead of being made with the typical ingredients like zinc oxide, it has things like clay, vanilla and lavender essential oils–and is all vegetarian and hand made! I liked that it went on smooth, but there is a little grit to the texture from the clay. While it didn’t clear up any diaper rashes over night, it didn’t make them any worse, and it didn’t irritate any little bottom skin, either. It does smell a little like play doh. 🙂
