Glow Bug Diapers were started by founders Sarah Downey & Neta Talmor. Their friendship goes back to before their children were even born; they met in a pre-natal yoga class. They both had children born very close together and both fell in love with cloth diapering.
They searched around for a high quality all in one diaper but with an affordable price. They soon decided to start their own company! Now that you are looking at amazing diapers, don’t forget to also get the best diaper backpack while you are shopping.
All of Glow Bug Cloth Diapers are proudly made in China. The diapers are made in their own facility, by their employees who are paid fair wages. They “all work in good conditions and who are extremely skilled resulting in a high quality product that is ethically made. Ms. Shen and Ms. Tian lead our sewing teams, Ms. Bao and Ms. Xu are in charge of the snap work, and Mr. Shi and his team make sure all the fabrics are cut. Our amazing production manager Hillary Ling makes sure all our teams work seamlessly together to create your Glow Bug Cloth Diapers. Meet the members of the Glow Bug Team here.” – Glow Bug Website
“If you are wondering why we called the company Glow Bug Cloth Diapers, there are two reasons. First of all, “Glow Bug” is Sarah’s daughter Gloria’s nickname and second, because we always thought a baby in cloth diapers looks like a cute little bug with that sweet round bum.” – Glow Bug Website
What makes Glow Bug Cloth Diapers Different?
Glow Bug Does Not Sell Individual Diapers:
They wanted to make it easy and affordable for anyone to use cloth diapers. You don’t ever just buy only one or two disposable diapers at a time so Glow Bug Cloth Diapers offer their diapers in bulk to save our customers time and money and make it simple. They do know that people like me exist. We only need one or two more diapers to build up our stash. So, they have a Facebook group called Glow Bug and Friends. They do sell a limited quantity of single diapers once a month on a first come first served basis. So you can always try to press your luck there!
Glow Bug Diapers have a revolutionary design – the 360º gusset! The first time my son wore this diaper he pooped, and it was awesome! How many times can you say that in your life? The Glow Bug’s gusset made that change WAY easier than a ton of other diapers. This design that what makes Glow Bug diapers stand out in a way that amazes me. It’s such a genius idea. You have to grab a pack of their diapers.
The inserts opening is on both ends of their diapers. This makes taking the insert out and placing it back in a breeze.
Glow Bug diapers, as I mentioned previously, are sold in sets of 12 diapers. I was a bit taken aback by this when I first read it. Now that I have put a Glow Bug on my child I understand why. These diapers are of such a high quality, easy to wash and care for, super absorbent and feature the 360º gusset, it’s really a no brainier to by a 12 pack. I promise you will not be disappointed in these diapers.
This diaper fit my skinny son perfectly. Many times the leg gusset still does not hold to his little thighs. This diaper was the perfect tension on him. Like I mentioned before, he has had a solid movement in a Glow Bug and it well confined (no leakage). Hip-Hip-Hooray!

Mama’s Experience
Zookaboo has a unique twist on the cloth diaper market. They make and sell matching tee and diaper cover sets. When we have our child in a cloth diaper we love to show it off! Having a matching tee makes showing off that fluff butt even more fun. It’s a perfect excuse for just putting a diaper and a tee on your baby.
The cover stays on so well. My son has very skinny legs and most other diaper covers will not properly stay on. The leg gussets are never tight enough to hold their position. This is not a problem with Zookaboo! I am so please that I was able to have a prefold on him and the cover stay on. He even soaked the prefold and it didn’t leak out. I am so over the moon about this. There are 2 snaps on both the left and right side. Having the double snap I think really helps hold things in place with petite children.
The tee shirts do run a little bit small. So when you are placing an order keep that in mind. My son is wearing a 2T in this picture. He normally wears a 12 or 12-18 mo tee.
Care: Machine wash cold or warm in cloth diaper safe detergent; line dry is recommended to extend the life of the cover. (Recommend drying once in dryer to seal any holes made in the cover during sewing.)
“Diaper cover has a cotton outer and is lined with a waterproof PUL fabric in white. This diaper cover can be used with most inserts, prefolds, or fitted diapers. The inside of the cover is wipeable.” – Zookaboo
“Before starting Milkdot, I assumed that if a product was in a store, then it should be safe to use. It wasn’t until I started to research basic materials for bags that I became surprisingly aware how little we know about the products we buy and how many of them use toxic materials that can harm our health and the environment.
Milkdot is committed to designing quality products that are safe for our kids and the environment. Every Milkdot production is tested by a CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) accredited lab and exceeds the CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) standards.
Often, I’ve been asked about the name, Milkdot. From the beginning, I knew that I wanted this company to inspire something good. What comes to mind when we hear “Milk”? Children, pure, nurture, wholesome, clean…and “Dot” is my belief that each person can make a positive difference in our world. ” – Milkdot Website

I love that these lunch totes are made with all all non toxic materials. I care so much about what I put into my kids bodies. From the food they eat to the soap I wash their tableware with. Of course we should care about the tote we place their food in daily.
These totes are so smooth to the touch. Soft and plush makes to easier to carry for little hands and easier to store. I love being able to press the sides down so that I can store the tote when not in use. Space is always limited with 2 little children. I have stuff everywhere! If I can cut down on my storage space then I am sold.
It is luxury in a lunch box
I can not get over how much room this lunch tote has. I am able to get a ridiculous amount of food, drinks and plastic containers of food in this lunch tote. As you can see, the depth is so deep that it has over an inch of room after the length of a can of pop. This huge tote allows you to pack a healthy lunch for your self or a loved one.
The back of the tote has a small pocket which can hold a small amount of items like a cell phone and keys. It also has a name tag which can be filled out. I love this feature. Most children’s schools and day cares require their name and phone to be clearly on the tote. This allows us to identify the owner without having to take a permanent marker to it.
I See Me! provides the highest quality, most personalized children’s books available. I See Me! was started by founder Maia Haag and her husband Allan after they received a personalized book as a gift for their first son in 1998. While they loved that it was personalized, they thought that the illustrations could have been much better and the story more customized to the child. Thus I See Me! was born.
Their goal was to produce an educational book that would teach young children how to recognize letters and spell their names.
They are pleased to say their books have become popular among celebrities including Courteney Cox, Brooke Shields and Jessica Alba along with every day parents like me.
Their mission is to increase self esteem in children through personalized books that celebrate the uniqueness of each child. The goal of I See Me! books is to show each child how absolutely unique and special he or she is, to teach the child how to spell his or her name, and to build vocabulary skills.
Having a book or item personalized for a child is a very special gift. There are many questions people have and most have been answered at the I See Me! FAQ page. A few notes to highlight are:
What about adopted children? Yes, there are custom options for the arrival day instead of day of you were born.
Can you select certain fairies, animals, sea creatures or countries to be used in your book? Yes, we can accommodate this request if you send an email to [email protected] within 4 hours after completing your order.
More information in these topics and many others can be found at the FAQ page. Click here for a link.
Here are some of the questions which make your book personalized:
Childs first name
Childs last name
Childs gender
Childs birth month
Childs year of birth
Dedications (examples being: I love you! Happy Easter! To a Wonderful Big Sister! Merry Christams! etc….)
“Celebrate your favorite little preschooler with this adorable new personalized storybook, The Very Important Preschooler (V.I.P.)! Your child will learn that being a “V.I.P.” means making new friends at preschool, sharing, helping out, cleaning up, learning new things and more. The Very Important Preschooler is filled with lots of great messages for your little preschooler and is personalized throughout the story and on the cover with his or her name! Written by Jennifer Dewing, Illustrated by Jill McDonald.” – I See Me!
This book is so beautiful. The illustrations are bright and bold. Perfect for a toddler to be fully engaged while reading.
When you child hears their name being read aloud during the story their eyes perk up and eyes open wide. I showed my daughter that her name was in print right there in the book. She thought that was too special. She loves this book because it truly is about her. The book will forever be a cherished part of our home library.
The personalized storybooks range in price from $29.99-$34.99
“Our personalized lunch boxes make your child feel special every day! Each one of our lunch boxes features your child’s name on multiple sides. On the inside lid, there’s a chalkboard where you can write a personalized note to your child each morning!
Safe for storing food, our lunch boxes are made of tin and contain no lead. They’re also great for storing toys and other treasures!
Hand wash with dish soap. Do not put into dishwasher. Chalk is not included.” – I See Me!
My daughter has seen many photos of lunch boxes in her expansive 2 years. She knows what they are. But, she has never had her own. We typically use a cooler when going to the zoo or vacation. We share a large container for the whole family. She had no idea that she was getting her own lunch box.
When I showed my daughter her lunch box she got so excited. She wanted to hold it and carry it around with her. She even showed her little brother new prized possession. She has loved purses and bags for ever, so it was natural that my little girl would want to tote around her new lunch box. I sat her down and showed her that her name was on the box she got giddy with excitement. It was all hers. She didn’t have to share this one with her little brother. Having it personalized created a confidence and independence in her. I highly recommend getting a personalized lunch box from I See Me!
Lunch boxes are normally priced at $29.99 but are currently on special for $17.99! That is a 40% savings and this is a super limited time offer.
Okay newbies! An all in 2 diaper works like this: You have an outer shell. This outer shell is to be reused. On the inside you snap in a removable liner. The liner is what gets soiled. Once soiled you simply unsnap the liner and toss the liner in the laundry. The cover is typically still clean (except for those super crazy heavy pee moments & blow outs) and you just snap a new liner on and place back on baby. These are super great for saving laundry time. Having only the liner to wash instead of the entire diaper allows you to save on wash time. I like to drip dry all of the diapers so this makes my turn around time a lot longer. With All-In-2’s I can lessen my laundry pile and use my covers faster. Covers DO need to be washed when soiled and occasionally. You wash your hoodie every few times you use it, same concept (you better wash that hoodie dude or no one is going to want to sit next to you soon).

What is different about Button Diapers?
“Quality, affordable, and adorable cloth diapers. Buttons’ is an easy to use two-in-one system. Our one-size diaper covers can snap to fit babies from 9-35 lbs, and are made of 2 layers of soft wipeable PUL with double gussets around the legs. Our snap-in diaper inserts are soft and absorbant, and come in two sizes.” – Button Diapers Website
Button diapers have a few features which make them unique:
The PUL (a soft laminated fabric which is wipe-able like plastic but soft to touch) is made with 2 layers. This makes it more durable.
Double gussets. This means it is more secure around the leg holes. My son has super skinny legs and sometimes will leak out of leg holes. This helps keeps things in. I really love this feature. It saves me from extra outfit changes when a diaper would leak.
Snap-in inserts. The part that gets soiled, the insert, is snapped into place. This is perfect cause you don’t have to worry about the insert shifting around inside the diaper as your child jumps off the furniture giving you an irregular heartbeat and added anxiety. We have enough to worry about as a parent, worrying about the insert shifting and not even catching urine shouldn’t be one of them.
I really like the PUL that Buttons uses. It is easy to wash and doesn’t leave marks on my son’s legs or belly. I have used both the daytime microfiber inserts (which have a top layer of super duper soft fleece for the skin side) and the microfiber nighttime doubler (also has the fleece top layer). Both work great for daytime use with my son. He is currently 20 lbs and 17 months old. I have not tried this diaper overnight on him. I LOVE the snap in feature. The snaps are very secure but easy to unsnap in a pinch. I love being able to use the same diaper cover for several uses by simply changing the insert. It is recommended to change the diaper cover every 3 changes. This really helps cut down your wash loads and dry time. Less diaper to wash = less diaper to dry!
The only negative or con of this diaper is that it only have 1 snap. There is no hip snap. There is only the top snap by the waist, no second row snap. This would be fine for normal sized babies, but my son is very tiny. He still wears 3-6 month or 9 month pants even though he is 17 months old. He has not leaked out of a Button’s diaper. This may because I am paranoid and change him super fast after he soils it. You can tell is loose around his thighs because the diaper starts to slip out of the leg holes. Keep in mind that my child is VERY skinny. Note his pant sizes. An average baby will not have this issue with a Buttons diaper.

Mama’s Experience:
When you receive your order all items are handled with great care. I was SO surprised that my wipes were already washed. They are crazy soft! Like I want to cuddle with these wipes, that kinda soft. I washed mine after getting them, because you know, habit. They are still crazy cuddly soft! Super happy with the quality of fabrics Sweet Bobbins chooses.
My son had never felt a wipe other than a store brand disposable wipe. The first time he felt it touch his skin he got still. Like frozen in place. This is a 17 month old – they don’t stay still for changing at this age. They are like greased pigs when you try to change them. He never felt a soft, smooth fabric before. He looked at me with a “what is happening, mom?” sort of face. I wiped him off and put the new diaper on without a struggle.
Cleaning the poop – I was scared. I never used a cloth wipe with poop before. I knew that I was about to change a real toddler poop. I wet 2 of the cloth Sweet Bobbins wipes with warm water from my bathroom sink and set them down while I went to grab by son. The cloth wipes are 7 inches by 7 inches. I ended up only using 1 wipe when changing him! I was shocked! And pleased of course. I could just leave the wipe in the diaper and when I took the cloth diaper to the toilet to dispose of the solids I was able to shake off the wipe. It washed like it had never seen a poopy diaper. I am so in love.
Gerber All-in-One Diaper with Insert Starter Set is innovatively designed to be less bulky and easy for moms to use. Easily adjusts to perfectly fit your baby. Ideal for everyday and nighttime use. Gerber’s diaper system is reusable, sustainable and affordable.
Gerber now is making All-In-One Cloth Diapers (AIO’s). Being new to cloth myself, when I used to think of cloth diapers, I would think of the big flat white pieces of cloth which Gerber was a main seller of (which are still available and great). These were the diapers I wore as a baby for my first few months….that is until my mother gave up and switched to disposables. Some people still choose to use the flat cloth with pins, but structured diapers are now what most parents who cloth choose to use.
Gerber, being a giant in the baby industry, has a lot of pull in what is placed in front of the consumers. With massive sway in big box stores and retailers, they are now placing their cloth diapers on shelves of stores where the public is able to see it’s availability. People joke that the cloth diaper world is like a cult and sucks you in. Well, is sorta of does! If Gerber can get a good, quality, easy to use, snap AIO diaper on the market, it will be one more step in making cloth diapers main stream. Now, we hope that Gerber can pull it off!
Just like all companies, Gerber listens to their customers. Adjusting and tweaking a product to perfection helps make customers happy and makes them want to keep buying their products. I will review their AIO and weigh the pro’s and con’s.
Machine wash warm – do not use fabric softeners, chlorine bleach or non-chlorine bleach; Tumble dry low – Do not use fabric dryer sheets; Do not iron; Recommend not to use with rash cream
Interview with Gerber:
I was able to chat with a integral member of the Gerber team about the design and thought process behind their new AIO. Here are some of the nuggets from our discussion.
When we started designing this diaper over two years ago, we had 3 goals in mind.
1) We wanted a trim diaper that would fit under pants…
We decided upon the sized option since it was the easiest way for us to keep the diaper both trim and affordable. The hook and loop was chosen because it helped us to keep the diaper at a lower price point while also making it easier for beginners to use. We found that a lot of people who had never used cloth diapers before were intimidated by them and we wanted to make sure this diaper would be super easy to help them get started.
2) A diaper that was made with natural materials and still super absorbent…
This is where we turned to Cotton INC and started working with their TransDRY™ technology. This 100% cotton fabric is specially designed to wick away moisture into the absorbent core (which is not cotton, just the lining. We are trying to be upfront about that so as to avoid confusion or people feeling mislead!) of the diaper to help keep babies skin dry and prevent leaks. Because of this special fabric you will see the wash instructions on the packaging say warm water and no bleach. Hot water and bleach can strip away the TransDRY™ abilities of the cotton and reduce it’s ability to wick away the moisture as effectively.
3) A diaper that could be sold at an affordable price point…
We wanted a diaper that worked well, fit well and was affordable and that is what we are providing. We have carefully listened to all the feedback that everyone has given us about our first diaper release and have made several tweaks to the design. Our second wave of diapers should be in production shortly, and we feel that it resolves the issues that people expressed to us about the first release. We are considering snap and one size variations of our diaper for possible future release as well, but do not have any solid answers as to when they could be available.
What makes Gerber’s AIO Different?
For starters, our all-in-one is a hybrid design. Not only is it able to be used as an aio, but it has the ability to add extra absorbency for heavy wetters or night time use. It’s very flexible and that can really be handy for mom’s who are diapering more than one child at a time.
Secondly, it’s also one of the few diapers on the market to offer a cotton lining. It was very important to us that the diaper have a natural fabric against babies skin, but it also needed to wick away the moisture because cotton is not necessarily a “stay dry” fabric. We were fortunate to be able to use Cotton INC’s TransDRY™ technology to help us solve this problem. We have tested and redesigned this diaper so many times that we have lost count, but the design we finally released to market has done an amazing job of holding everything in and keeping baby safe from leaks! Another unique leak prevention feature of our diaper is the front and back flaps/gussets that are part of our patent pending design. We added these to help catch waste and make this diaper even more secure as far as “blowouts” go!
Finally, our diaper is one of the most trim diapers currently available on the market. We know that a lot of cloth diapering parents give up on the idea of putting pants over cloth entirely, and while that may work well in warmer climates, cold weather makes pants a necessity. We wanted a diaper that could easily be worn with cute outfits and that bodysuits would snap over with no problem. We feel that this diaper accomplishes this mission.
Washing/Prep Instructions: (From Package)
Before first use: Wash in warm water (avoid using hot as it can strip away the TransDRY™)
Wash: Dispose of solids and store diaper in dry pail. Machine wash warm. Do not use fabric softeners, chlorine bleach or non-chlorine bleach. (Now I realize that if a diaper accidentally ends up moldy or for some other reason needs stripped, then bleach tends to be a necessary evil. It won’t destroy the diaper, but it will effect the wicking and possibly the overall longevity of the PUL.) Tumble dry low. Do not use dryer sheets. Do not iron. Recommend not to use with rash cream. (I know there are a lot out there that are cloth safe now, but use with caution and do your research before choosing one!)
Mama’s Experience:
Pros
Easy to put on. With a wiggly baby/toddler, easy is of up-most importance. They use the hook and loop closure to make changing easy.
Easy installation of extra insert. Their inserts simply slide into a pocket.
Keeps solids in. Because of how the sides curl it helps reinforce and keeps solids in. My child who wore the diaper is walking, so I am not sure if a crawling baby would make a difference in the shifting.
Inserts wick away moisture. Their transDRY technology woven into lining pulls moisture away from baby’s skin.
Deep sides. I love that the sides are super deep. I feel like it will keep solids in better. I like how it curls up all around the liner to give me the feeling of security. This also helps with skinny legged kids. My son has very skinny legs and will leak out of some competitors leg holes. My son has never leaked out the leg hole of a Gerber! woot woot!!
Cute colors. We love to have cute fluff butts! They I hope they come out with fun patterns next!
Cons
Hook and loop pulls fabric. Before I was even able to prep the diaper the velcro started to pull the a fabric that is close to its base. I was saddened by this. I believe it is due to the fabric shell material. Its not horrible by any means, but all pulling is sad. The pulling has not effected the actual diaper. It functions the same, it is only an ascetic thing.
Hard to unvelcro during changes. I seemed to have a hard time pulling the velcro apart with one hand. If I pull it apart ahead of time it seemed to naturally curl back together while taking off his dirty diaper before I had a chance to put it on him. This made it more difficult to change the diapers, but only slightly.
****UPDATE**** I spoke with Gerber and the cons I mentioned above are being addressed. They are working on a new design! Way to be Gerber! We appreciate you listening to our voice.

Takes Up Less Precious Counter Space
I love that this comes with a travel mug. I love a nice steel thermal mug. It was something I looked for when reading through Kaffeevollautomat Test – or coffee machine tests – online. See, I drink at least 1 cup of coffee a day. Occasionally more if my kids let me get the 1st one down before lunch. My husband rarely drinks coffee. This is person for a 1 person coffee drinking home. Why waste all that precious counter space with a big coffee maker when you only need 1 cup anyways? I mean, I have almost every type of coffee known to man in my kitchen – and I store it damn well already!
Mama’s Experience
I am so happy with this personal coffee maker. Being the only one who drinks coffee on a daily bases in my house, there is no reason for a full size coffee maker. Some of the other personal coffee makers available today are so big! I am by no means a minimalist but I do love extra counter space. I have enough clutter in my house thank you very much. Hypothetically, If I were to invest in a bigger coffee machine and I was looking for the absolute best quality coffee I could get, I’d look into something similar to what Iron and Fire (www.ironandfire.co.uk) provide. But I am super happy with what I have.
I am so excited that I can use my own person ground coffee in a personal maker without hassle. Other makes have a special container you have to load the loose grounds into then insert into the machine. Making a cup of coffee has to be super fast with my 2 little ones or I miss my window. Life is too crazy for all that prepping. With the Capresso On-The-Go Personal Coffee Maker I can simply scoop a tablespoon (or however much I desire) into the coffee basket. I pour my coffee cup worth of water into the water reservoir and bam! I got rockin coffee. *slurps coffee* Let’s get caffeinated and kick this days butt.

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.
