I actually e-met Tanya the crunchy mama behind Couture Fluff on Facebook when we were chatting about something completely unrelated to cloth diapers. I mentioned to her that I was having our celebration if she wanted to enter the giveaways even though (obviously) she made her own fluff. One thing lead to another and we began talking about Tates illness and how it claimed our entire stash and when she heard that she immediately offered to get in on the fluffy celebration going on! How sweet is she and how lucky am I?
Tanya sent me the most adorable Christmas print AI2 diaper and super soft cloth wipe. The included postcard contains contact information should you have any questions about your Couture Fluff products and instructions on how to care for your fluffy items. There is also sizing and product style information which is great to have at your finger tips especially if you are new to cloth diapering.
The cloth wipes that Tanya makes are generously sized 8″x8″ squares made with one side cotton velour and one side cotton sherpa with serged edges to ensure no fraying and that your wipes last you through a lot of diaper changes. Wipes are available in six (6) packs of girly, boyish and gender neutral colors and can be washed with your regular cloth diaper laundry.
Our one sized AI2 ‘Holiday Toss’ is the Marilyn Fit which is one of the two types of fits Tanya offers. The other fit is called Trim Fit and is slightly trimmer through the middle or crotch area as you can see in the picture below of a Trim Fit on top of a Marilyn Fit.
The shell of the diaper consists of a woven cotton outer layer, hidden PUL ore and an anti pill fleece inner layer. The shell is turned and top stitched for a nice clean look. Coordinating hidden snaps allow for soft fabric to be up against baby and crossover tabs along with a snap down rise make it easy to fit babies of all sizes.
The three layer soaker snaps in to ensure it stays in place. The top layer is made up of cotton velour and two layers of organic bamboo fleece. The bottom layer is just the opposite order with two layers of organic bamboo fleece and one cotton velour. The middle soaker is optional and can be snapped in for heavy wetters (Tates!) or overnight use and consists of two layers of cotton velour with a zorb layer sandwiched in the middle. If you use all three soakers (like we do) you are getting nine absorbent layers!
As you can see all three soakers are very generous in length and work great on Tates! I really like the stay dry layer against Tates skin and the cute print is always fun! Tates doesn’t know who “Santa” is really but we taught him that “Santa” says ‘ho ho ho’ and he tries to say it while pointing to his diaper.
The rise is all the way unsnapped and fits Tates great. The elastic is great at mess containment however not too tight that it causes marks on his thighs. Even with all three soakers this diaper is incredibly trim and very quick to dry in the laundry.
Tates pranced around on Christmas Day at my brothers house and my sister ran around taking pictures of how adorable he was in his ‘Ho Ho Ho’ diaper, as you can see he is very comfortable in it, so now I just need more Couture Fluff!
Buy It:
You can purchase your own Couture Fluff from Tanya’s online shop along with any of her other wonderful handmade creations including wet bags, natural toys, mama cloth and hooded towels to name a few!
