Lil Helper Diapers Review

These are AI2 (All-In-2) Cloth Diapers

Who is Lil Helper

Diapers designed by rocket scientists….seriously though, they are.

What really appeals to me about Lil Helper diapers is how relatable of a company they are. Lil Helpers is owned and run by two guys (Mohammad and Nader) who met in college and are quiet literally rocket scientists (that’s aerospace engineering to be more specific). My husband is a scientist (biologist something about DNA) who now works in telecom; a completely different field. What they have in common is this: the brains to make me feel like Penny from Big Bang Theory and the ability to make me laugh like a little school girl. Mohammad & Nader are dedicated, intelligent men who make parents life easier with their super designed cloth diapers and accessories.

Lil Helper diapers has a strong and honest mission. These are a few from their list of statements:

  • Offer quality products at reasonable, affordable prices.
  • Provide great customer service throughout the life-cycle of the product.
  • Refuse to sell or endorse anything that we are not comfortable using on our own children. Period.

They also do NOT claim to help you or your child lose weight or that their diapers will improve your sex life. But you shouldn’t worry about that. There are plenty of other ways that you can improve this area of your life, like looking at how anal beads, butt plugs, and other types of sex toys can help to give you the sexual pleasure that you so desire. However, it would not be wise to restrict yourself to sex toys only. If you want to spice up your sex life with the help of a strapless dildo, for example, then keeping the flame within you burning is definitely something that you should consider. Moreover, trying new things never hurt anybody, did it? That said, you can try a new sensation like prostate milking, which is known to be a simple prostate massage aimed at mindblowing orgasms. In a nutshell, this is a massage of the male G-spot for sexual stimulation. If you haven’t heard about this yet, then this might be the time to read about this erotic practice. For that, interested individuals can consider visiting websites like Loveplugs. So, it seems that whilst these diapers can help you in other ways, using them to improve your sex life definitely isn’t one of them.

Why Lil Helpers

1) There are tons and tons of different companies that make and sell cloth diapers. Why choose Lil Helpers? For starters they are Do Gooders. What I mean by this is that they donate 1 diaper for every 3 diapers bought to a child in North American who is in need. They lovingly call this program Baby Do Good (you can read more about this through the link).

2) They have 24 hour customer service (who can honestly say that?!)

3) They have the God Forbid Guarantee. I have never heard of this but I think its one of the most kind and loving company policies ever created. God forbid that something untoward were to happen during or after you birth and you are no longer able to use your cloth diapers from Lil Helper – They will fully refund your entire purchase. This is a policy I can back up 100% with Mama’s stamp of approval!

Plus there are many, many other reasons why they kick butt and you need their diapers.

What Does Lil Helpers Sell

They do NOT sell:

  • Steam locomotives
  • Carbonated beverages
  • Horse Manure

Charcoal Inserts

When I received my diapers I was so excited to try both the bamboo and charcoal inserts! I have heard about charcoal inserts a few times in different Facebook cloth diaper groups, but had yet to know anyone personally who used them. I was super excited to find out that you only have to wash them one to prep! They are fully ready to go as far as absorbency power. You should wash them 1 time before use just because, ya know, stuff gets dirty in transport.

The inserts have a 4 layer design. The outermost shell is charcoal cloth and the 2 inside layers are micro terry cloth. This allows for super quick absorbency and super hold.

Charcoal provides:
  • Stay dry features
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Naturally deodorizing
  • Anti-bacterial
  • Dark in color (wont show those blueberry poop stains!)

I am super pumped about these liners. They are super soft, easy to wash and super absorbent. Click here to read more about charcoal inserts.

Bamboo Inserts

I have used some bamboo inserts from other brands, but nothing is like the bamboo inserts from Lil Helper. Other bamboo inserts are just that, bamboo. What makes the Lil Helper bamboo insert unique is that it is stuffed inside with 2 layers of micro terry cloth. This allows for a super luxuriously soft outer shell with the added bonus of super absorbency!

Bamboo Insert
  • Bamboo is highly sustainable (get more yield in a crop when compared to cotton….but a lot – this means it is better for the earth)
  • More absorbent than cotton
  • Softer and smoother than cotton
Lil Helper Diapers

I was so excited about the inserts I did not really inspect the diapers themselves when I first received them. It was not until I first put them on my skinny legged son that I saw a super perfect feature, a leg hip snap! The hip snaps are the snaps at the top of a diaper, by the hips/belly button. Lil Helpers went the extra mile and put a second, bottom row (closer to the leg hole) on their diapers. This is super crazy awesome for skinny legged kids. Some diapers cannot and will not get tight enough to contain their contents on skinny legged kids. You will get leakage through the leg holes. Not with Lil Helpers! Because of the 2nd row I can get my diaper around my sons gut (you know, the toddler beer gut) but still get it tight on his tiny legs!

The other fabulous design of Lil Helper diapers is that the inserts are interchangeable with the diapers. You can buy a bamboo and charcoal insert and the just snap in whatever shell you choose. Mix and match galore!

Their diapers are All-In-2’s. This means you snap the inside in and the shell can be used 2 or 3 times before wash (if not soiled). This makes trips out so much easier. Why lug all those AIO’s when you can grab 2 inserts and 1 shell from Lil Helper? Makes the diaper bag easier to manage and the wet bag less heavy.

The Lil Helper shell diaper is also lined. All other AI2’s I have seen are just PUL and snaps. Lil Helper diapers have a soft inside that the inserts snap too. This makes the diaper way more cozy. I would rather have plush material then PUL rubbing my hips as I walk around, wouldn’t you?

Bamboo Stay Dry Liners

These are seriously the coolest accessory I have encountered in my cloth diaper experience.

These sleek and soft liners can go into any diaper, yes any diaper. They are made of 50% bamboo viscose and 50% polyester mesh. This allows them to be super absorbent and quickly wick away moisture (which is how you avoid a diaper rash). These little liners have a super power…they make changing poopy diapers easy. Yes I just wrote easy. The solids will slide right off the material! Making all poops plop-able! No one likes trying to get that fruit based toddler poop off a diaper. Its the least glamour part of cloth diapering. These liners make changing those poopy diaper super fast and easy.

Lots of companies offer flushable or disposable liners. Having a septic system there is no such thing as a safe to flush liner. I refuse to try and then end up with a clogged toilet or worse a broken aerator. Lil Helper stay dry liners are reusable so they will save us money and help the environment. Head over and grab a few packs now! Click here to read more about them.

  2. My adult daughter just announced she wants to use cloth diapers for her baby girl. I used the old fashioned cloth diapers 40 years ago for her sister so I know the advantages. Yes, I am impressed that 2 guys designed them, but am not surprised because I am also married to an aerospace engineer in real life!!!

  3. wow bot only do these look great I love that they donate diapers!! that’s really truly amazing when I company does good in their community!!

  5. I love how well thought out everything about their company is! The humor to it is great, but I sincerely love the God Forbkd Guarantee. That is an incredible thing to do. <3

  7. Love do gooder companies!! I love love love that they give back!! I wish every company would do that!! I love the super absorbent 4 layer inserts and the cuteness!!

  9. Wow, these are neat!! I love all the features and colors!! Hope I win as I have only one diaper in my cloth collection.

  11. Wow! These sound amazing! I just started cloth diapering but I just use disposables for outings! These would be so easy to just snap a new insert in when she sets one! I must have ?

  12. I love that this review is so straight and to the point. There are tons of cloth diaper brands out there… so why choose this one? You gave it to us straight 🙂

  14. Wow, so much to love about this company and product I don’t even know where to begin! I absolutely love the Baby Do Good program! The fact that they use bamboo for their diapers and inserts is amazing to me as well! I have never used them before, but I want to now! Thanks for the awesome review.

  18. These diapers look great! Especially with bamboo inserts! I am just now learning about the wonders of bamboo and I am so excited to be able to use some on m babies bums! 🙂

  19. I love supporting a company of dogooders 🙂 and ones who make only quality products.

  20. wow they look cool! I will buy some of those bamboo liners you raved about for sure. i am having my first baby in Dec and will use cloth diapers. thank you.

  21. the god forbid policy breaks my heart and is simultaneously so wonderful. every company should have this

  22. These diapers are awesome! I have six already. I can never decide if I like the bamboo or Charcoal better bc they’re equally great.

  25. The website may be gimmicky and tongue in cheek, but these are excellent diapers that are frequently offered at a price that makes them one of the best systems based on quality, ease of use, and affordability. Besides, I cannot find any system that has any inserts comparable to the charcoal bamboo.

  26. I had no idea these were made by men. Great, unique bit of information! The diapers look quality made! 🙂

  28. These look amazing! We have never been able to try cloth diapers, but now we might just have to start! It looks like these would be amazing cloth diapers for a first timer – so simple to use and just as convenient as traditional diapers. Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous giveaway!

  31. Love these! What a great review of these diapers – comprehensive about the brand as well as the product – thank you for that!

  33. These all in one cloth diapers sound amazing! Simplistic as a disposable but better for the earth and much cuter. Loved your review, you were very thorough and hit every key point! 🙂

  34. I love everything about these! Especially their policies, I’m not gonna lie, I cried reading about their “God Forbid Guarantee”. Also, bamboo always for the win, I just can’t get enough of bamboo products! Hope I win! ?

  35. These diapers look awesome. They seem like they would work well on my skinny legged little guy. It’s hard to get a good fit sometimes, but it seems like these would do the trick. The inserts look amazing. I think my favorite thing about them is that they have a lining in them unlike most all in two diapers.

  38. I love everything about Lil Helpers! Amazed that it’s two men running the show when I’m used to seeing women/moms making diapers. That’s impressive. I love snap in inserts. It makes things easier when you’ve got a wiggly baby, like me! My baby is also a skinny legged one, so the hip snaps are necessary. The God Forbid guarantee is amazing as well as the donations. Good luck all!! Fingers crossed. 🙂

  39. after reading your reviewaway on these im heading there right away to purchase! (i also would still love to win this giveaway as well just so you know :D)
    I am so impressed with thier customer service and the whole system in general! cant wait to try these! awesome review

  43. The “God Forbid” guarantee. Definitely going to try these diapers. Unbelievably generous and thoughtful.

  46. Um just reading through your review…. I love everything about it without even trying the diapers yikes. This was the most entertaining review yet. I would love just to try those liners!

  49. I love the Baby Do Good program! Funny review, btw… I am loving the (few) AI2’s I have, but definitely want to buy the next ones with snap-in inserts, and I love the charcoal bamboo inserts I have for absorbency (which only lay in),… Thus, this sounds perfect for me! Thanks!!!

  50. I am not very familiar with charcoal, so it was neat to learn more about that! Thanks!

  51. Yay for scientists branching out to make a difference. Though I suppose botanists are the ones who tend to branch out. So I’ll just congratulate these guys on their new endeavor.

  52. I think it is super cool that the Baby Do Good program they have is amazing! I would love to try one of their diapers. The leg/hip snaps have been amazing on out LO.

  53. I’ve heard SUCH good things about this brand and their customer service- I’d love to try them!

  55. My first thought was Wow! So much awsome for one little company! Then I thought, is this really real? Did I enter some weird part of the Internet where unicorns are real? This is like the unicorn of fluff! Seriously though I’m in the market for new fluff and I’ve been poking around fluff companies and I think this is the one who get my money!

  57. This company sounds amazing. Who would have thought rocket scientists making diapers, I like it!

  58. I love that these diapers have leg snaps and bamboo stay dry inserts!! I would be sooo happy to have even one of these for my 3 kids in diapers!! You guys make amazing diapers!! Thank you!

  60. Phrases that make diapers winners, ” The solids will slide right off the material!”, “only have to wash them once to prep!” (charcoal liner), ” super absorbent.”.
    I love Lil Helpers’ God Forbid Guarantee…business with a heart!

  61. I love that these come with Bamboo Stay Dry Liners! I always found them to be more absorbent than microfiber
