Potty training is hardcore parenting. Seriously. Like one of the hardest things a parent has to do. Thankfully there are resources to help make the process a bit more smooth. One of these resources is Princesses & Pirates Go Potty Too.
When you are potty training a toddler you life can’t just stop. We still have to run errands, go to family and friends houses, play at parks and take vacations. With Princesses & Pirates Go Potty Too I am now able to do all these things without fear of accidents or the lack of toilets. My daughter has been potty training for a while now. But those moments occur when she has to go “right now!” I have tried lugging her training potty around but doing that is crazy. Plus, then I live in constant fear of forgetting it or not having it. Now, I can keep my Princesses & Pirates Potty with me in my car. Its always available when we are out and about, and best of all it’s not gross!
How It Works:
The potty works like this. It has a top and a bottom. There is no bowl inside. When my daughter checked out her new potty she quickly said, “my pee pee will go on the floor!” Haha, yes it would. The special part about the Princesses & Pirates Potty is that you use one-time disposable bags as a liner which act as the bowl. You are then able to simply toss the bag out in a trash can as you would a diaper. So smart! I have admittedly stopped at the side of the road and had my daughter pee in her regular training potty chair. Then I had to dump her urine in the grass…hoping no one would see me of course. Now you can be discrete and avoid such embarrassing situations. Can you imagine dumping your kids poop in the grass or in a mall parking lot…yeah…I think not.
Where to Use:
The beauty of this product is its longevity. While your child will use it when they are potty training it will also be used by older kids when there is no potty in sight. You may be at a park, a festival, a party, parking lot, vacation, road trip…you get the picture. Your child can easily go to the bathroom without worry. It doesn’t need to be sprayed out or washed after each use because everything go into the bag. Just keep it in your truck and you will be sure to use it.
Styles:
The Princesses & Pirates Go Potty Too systems come in 2 color combos: Red and Blue or Pink and Purple.
You will get a few of the disposable bags with your potty, but you will for sure need to grab an extra roll or two. The refill bags are sold in quantities of 50 or 100. Purchase some here.
My daughter loves her travel Princesses and Pirates Go Potty Too seat. I am able to keep it in the trunk of my car and not worry about those sudden potty breaks. The bags are perfect too. They fit with amble room around the neck. They are large enough so that knotting them up after usage is easy and I don’t feel all up in the messy-mess. They are thick enough that I don’t worry about breakage but not so heavy that I feel wasteful about plastic. I love that the bags are big enough so that the plastic doesn’t rise up to touch my child bottom. That would throw off my game when I am trying to do my business and its the last thing I would need to happen to my potty sensitive child. All in all, I highly recommend this potty. I see no negatives at all in the product. With it being all plastic its super easy to wipe clean if need be. Which would be sanitary to pass on to a younger sibling or friend. Lastly, being fully plastic it is recyclable.

When I started my journey into the wild world of cloth diapers I knew that I wanted to support other mothers. I wanted to buy natural products. I wanted to find reliable and strong businesses who have a solid and positive reputation. After some initial research I came across Green Mountain Diapers. I took a gander around their website. I was instantly impressed with the easy to read set up, huge selection, helpful tips and information (so important to the newbies like me). Check more reviews like this in StapleSearch.
Who is Green Mountain Diaper?
Green Mountain Diapers “are the leading online resource for natural fiber cloth diapers and healthy organic diapers serving families who choose reusable diapers for over 15 years. Diaper covers with quality natural fiber and organic cloth diapers make healthy baby diapering soft, fun and hassle-free.” – Green Mountain Diapers Website
The founder, Karen, is a mom just like me. She wanted to use cloth diapers with her first child but was discouraged by others and felt so overwhelmed by all the information and things to know about cloth diapering. She found out first hand that if you are not using quality products then your journey will not be very smooth. Why waste your time and money on products that will not work? That is just not being a good steward of your money or time, and that is why unbiased reviews are so useful for new mothers. They help you to make the best decisions on all of the new baby equipment you have to buy, which you will have had no experience with until then.
Green Mountain began in 1998. Their mission is “to communicate information about cloth diapering and provide the very best of today’s wonderful cloth diapering products focusing on natural fibers”. – Green Mountain Diapers Website. Now they have grown to be one of the leading leading natural fiber cloth diaper retailers nationwide and became a true corporation.
Why Choose Green Mountain?
There are so many online resources today. You can buy diapers from so many places. Why Green Mountain?
They have one of the leading natural fiber prefolds – Cloth-eez Prefold diapers
Free How to Wash Cloth Diapers Booklet with every purchase! – ***MUST HAVE FOR NEW TO CLOTH*** (Can buy additional booklets for $4.95 each)
Free Booklet You Say?
With every purchase from Green Mountain Diapers you get the opportunity to get a FREEHow To Wash Your Cloth Diaper Booklet. I have referred to this amazing booklet every day since I received my copy. It’s such a helpful and comprehensive resource. It covers everything from how to prep, how to wash, how to select your detergents, how to care for wool, how to change a baby (so great for new parents or parents like me switching over), answers to comment questions like odors, leaks…and so much more. I cannot express how great this booklet is. Do yourself a solid and place an order at Green Mountain and be sure to add the booklet to your order in the “add to cart” option – it will NOT automatically be placed in your shipment. This is such a nice feature. I have a booklet. Next time I don’t need another one so I will not add one; waste not want not.
These are the very first prefolds I have every put on a baby. I have used them for years as rags. They are super soft & absorbent so of course they would make great diapers.
sold in dozen or individual quantities
available in white, unbleached, organic
edges are colored for easy identification (example: the smalls edges are yellow, mediums are red…)
free pins with order (need to be added to order through link on this page)
easy to wash and dry – no special cloth diaper soaps needed
Putting a prefold on my wiggly/cant-stop-moving 16 month old proved to be a fun adventure. After a minute of trying I was able to get the prefold diaper properly on him. I think he really loved the feel. It was simple and soft. My son as super thin legs. I was able to roll the fabric around his legs up. Typically people use a cover over a prefold. This helps keep everything in…ya know…everything.
You can use diaper pins to keep a prefold on or a more modern fastener. I prefer the modern version as I get nervous with pins and my cant-keep-still-child.
I love that these are super easy to wash and they can go into the dryer. The fast and easy cleaning cycle is a huge selling point.
Cloth-eez Workhorse diapers are like a fitted version of a prefold. You get soft, absorbent, 100% chlorine free cotton in a fitted diaper. It has all the benefits of a prefold but with the convenience of being fitted.
Newborn, small, medium, large & extra large sizes
Snap or no closure options (no closure is a fitted diaper but you would need a fastener to hold it on)
On the left is a Maldin Mills Fleece Stay-Dry Liner On the right is a Cloth-eez Doubler size large in white
GMD has a variety of doublers and liners, sometimes referred to as inserts. I reviewed 2 from their vast selection:
Malden Mills Polar Fleece Stay-Dry Liner “One layer of virgin “Malden Mills” 200 weight polar fleece with a finished edge. Line your cotton diaper with this top quality polar fleece and obtain dryness next to baby’s bottom since it allows the moisture to go through it but it doesn’t feel wet. It really works.”
This is the coolest and most interesting liner I have experienced yet. It is made of a special fleece. It keeps you child feeling dry longer. This is the product to get if you are transitioning from disposable to cloth!
These are a GMD exclusive. Available in 4 options: small white cotton, large white cotton, small organic cotton and large organic cotton. They are available in sets of 12 or individually.
There are a few different types of fasteners on the market for prefolds and fitted no closure diapers. The ones which are available through Green Mountain are:
I have yet to have the courage to hold my son down to get the pins in. I did use the snappi few times now with great ease. I was reluctant to believe it would really hold onto the diaper. Or that it would stay on once my son was running around. It did! With no issues. I am very pleased with snappi.
While Blueberry is not a Green Mountain house brand, it is a brand which Green Mountain carries. Green Mountain Diapers carry several types and brand of diaper covers. We use covers over a prefold or fitted cloth diaper. They keep things in if you will.
You can place a diaper on a baby with fasteners then place the cover over it OR you can tri-fold the prefold diaper and place inside the cover (sorta like how you would stuff a pocket diaper but minus the pocket part). Either way works. It is a personal preferance really.

Mama’s Experience
My daughter is obsessed with her new dress up clothes from Little Adventures. She has not once complained about an itchy part or anything being too scratchy. I am so happy. It looks beautiful on her and she feels like a real fairy princess. She keeps running around saying things like “abracadabra” or “alakazam” and “bippity-boppiti-boo!”
I often tell my daughter princesses stories which I make up. She is the main character and a princess. When she put on this beautiful outfit she instantly transformed into the character. A kind, spunky and curious little princess. She felt the confidence to be the princess she wants to be. Helping enrich my child’s imagination is the most powerful thing I can do as a parent. With Little Adventures I am able to create magic for my daughter.

When I started my journey into the wild world of cloth diapers I came across The Little Bee Co. When checking out their backstory I quickly found out that they donate a diaper to an orphan in need every time a diaper is purchase from them! I was amazed. This is they exact type of business I would want to support. As a fellow Christian, I am called to reach out and help my fellow man. Proverbs 19:17“One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed” (NASB). The Heise family made it their mission to help children around the globe by supplying them with diapers. I am blessed to live in a 1st world country where I have so many options and choices in how I raise my child. If I am able to help another child, one who goes with much, much less than my own children, I will gladly do so.
For each diaper purchased The Little Bee Co.
will donate a diaper to an orphan in need.
After traveling to facilities in numerous countries around the globe, it was evident that proper diapering is a very real need. Many babies wear split pants, rags, plastic bags or nothing at all. This is not because those caring for them don’t care, it is simply because funds are limited. When it comes to spending, food and medicines trump diapers. Because of this, a vicious cycle ensues as the spread of disease created from improper diapering and bed sharing causes an already bad situation to be far worse. It is our mission to provide this very necessary resource to those in need. Our passion is not only for orphan care but prevention as well. In working with medical facilities, family centers and malnutrition rehabilitation units we are able to help in the empowerment of parents in poverty stricken areas so their children never have to wear the title of orphan.
Child is 19 lbs and 16 months old.
Buying and using cloth diapers is a choice a parent makes here in the USA. We choose to cloth diaper for a multitude of reasons: save money, better for child, better for the earth…the list goes on and on. When I heard that buy buying my diapers and inserts from The Little Bee Co could help another child who is in need, I knew it was the right choice for me.

Mama’s Experience
Bee Changed Bamboo Pocket OS
What makes The Little Bee Co diapers unique is the front elastic. This allows a more snug fit. I think this feature is especially useful for little boys. Boys pee up, it happens. The elastic helps keep things in check. I really have grown to love this feature.
A special feature that Bee Changed diapers offer is the ability to self fold up. If you are out and about and do not have a wet bag for your dirty diaper, these diapers are able to be snapped up tightly so that you can just toss them into your diaper bag or purse. No fear of wetness escaping by the neat design.
My son is 19 lbs and is 16 months old. He has a very petite waist and skinny legs. I am THRILLED that the pee stayed in his diaper and didn’t travel down his legs or up his belly after he pee’s! Some diapers claim to be a one size diaper that will fit a growing child, but The Little Bee Co truly passes the skinny baby test! I will be buying for diapers from The Little Bee Co for my son as well as telling all my girlfriends about this awesome line of cloth diapers.
