A Rave for Twinkletoes Diapers

I've bought lots of homemade diapers (usually referred to as WAHM diapers - made by a Work At Home Mom).  I've bought some that I've loved and re-purchased from those mamas, and then I bought a few that were pretty crappy.  So I got off the WAHM bandwagon for a while, and only bought more commercial brands of diapers.

My most recent purchase included the Flip and Econobum systems, which I recently reviewed for you guys.  (Um, like, in the previous post.)  I love the Flip cover (basically because of its snap closure), but I didn't love the insert, as I mentioned.

Meanwhile, I had previously purchased some narrow, thin bamboo/zorb inserts from a WAHM in Canada who seems to be out of business now.  I only have three inserts, and I use them to supplement my nighttime system.  So if I go more than three days between diaper washes (which I often do, but I don't recommend it because of The Stinkies), then I don't have enough of the nighttime inserts.

A search on Etsy led me to Vanessa at Twinkletoes Diapers.  I loved her selection, and bought several different things to try.

And I love all of them.

These are contoured bamboo zorb inserts.  They are nice and soft on both sides, and I have used them both stuffed in a pocket diaper as well as just laid into a cover.

These are my favorite!  These are suedecloth-topped bamboo/zorb inserts that I use in the Flip cover.  Nice and soft stay-dry top, nice and absorbent.

 And this is the topper, the overnight bamboo/zorb insert.  This thing is hefty - not really in size, since it's really not that thick, but man does it absorb!  I haven't had the nerve yet to use it alone in the nighttime diaper, so I still use it with the Thirsties insert, but I've used it alone in a pocket during the day and it is very absorbent.

They are all very well-made products, and I highly recommend you check out her selection of inserts in her Etsy shop.
