Moms & Tots is a Johor Bahru based cloth diaper company started up by 3 mommies who are keen in natural parenting and environmentally issues. I’m happy to be able to review their product, Moms & Tots Diaper. You can read more about their story here: Moms & Tots interview on Cloth Diaper Malaysia.

ABOUT MOMS & TOTS DIAPER

• Back fastening (velcro) One-Size Pocket Diaper with 3 rise settings.
• Main feature is to prevent babies from pulling diapers apart and prevent irritation around tummy from velcro.
• Diaper covers made from waterproof PUL with soft, fluffy, thin microfleece as the inner layer.
• Inserts are made of 3 layers microfiber and 1 layer anti bacterial bamboo fiber.
  

I have received for reviewing: 1 Moms & Tots diaper in Yellow colour with 2 inserts (1 normal length with snaps & 1 long insert for folding).

I’m using the new rating system for product reviews for JOLI diapers. Each category/factor below have a score from 1 to 5 (1 being the worst, and 5 being the best). Comments follow each category.

The inner view of the soft microfleece and the long sized insert which can be folded accordingly to suit baby’s needs. (The normal length insert not shown in this photograph)

Design & Appearance – My Score: 4 out of 5

• The cloth diaper cutting is trim, especially at the crotch - and even after stuffing the insert in the pocket, it still appears to be trim.
• I loved the 2 lengths/types of inserts which were very trim. The normal sized insert can be snapped for a shorter length or to adjust for extra absorbency at the front. The long sized insert is very versatile and can be folded according to how you’d like the absorbency to be.
• There were some minor workmanship issues on the cover (this was rectified by the company as an overlooked quality control issue – Usually they check the products before sending them off).
• They come in 5 gender neutral colour choices - No headaches to choose either boy/girl colours, they’re suitable for either!

Video posted by Moms & Tots showing how to put on their back fastening cloth diaper.

Ease of Use – My Score: 3.75 out of 5

• I didn’t really master the art of fastening the velcro on the back. From the video above, the recommended way is to fasten one side of the velcro while baby is lying down, then flipping him on his tummy and fastening the other side. I somehow find myself still readjusting the velcro after I’m done (because I simply want the velcro fastened as “perfectly” aligned as possible :-p)
• I sometimes stuff the inserts on the wrong side (I need to have the folded insert on the front for my boy) because I get confused with the location of the pocket opening and also the fact that it is a back fastening diaper.

Functionality & Fit- My Score: 5 out of 5!

• Picture this: You put cloth diaper on baby – and a few minutes later you discover your baby crawling/running around with his butt/decency exposed, and the diaper somewhere on the floor! If you’re lucky, hopefully your baby didn’t manage to leave any “emergencies” around while he’s butt naked!! :-O We certainly know how annoying this can be right?
• A back fastening cloth diaper is such a practical and smart idea! If you have experienced the problem above, back fastening is really the solution. Velcro fastening at the back will DEFINITELY prevent your baby from peeling off the Velcro off his cloth diapers. The diaper stays PUT all the time.
• The inserts are super trim, thus making the whole diaper trim too.
• The long sized insert is very practical and versatile because I can customize the absorbency however I want it to be. Just fold it twice, then to the front, or fold in half – depending on you baby’s needs. Drying times are quick too because of the design.
• The diaper’s cutting is high cut at the legs (above the leg joint), and this helps to not restricting baby’s movements. I like this very much. It looks quite sexy too

One really great feature of Moms & Tots diaper is its TRIMNESS

Performance - My Score: 4 out of 5

• The bamboo and microfiber combo makes for an absorbent insert. However, for longer hours, you might need to fold the inserts to create more layers of absorbency or use more than 1 insert.

Quality - My Score: 3.5 out of 5

• I personally feel the laundry tabs need some improvement. I think it is too small to function properly, and it gets worn out after some time.
• The microfleece inner gets fluffier in time, and the PUL layer is also durable. However, the inserts (since its made from natural bamboo fibers which might disintegrate easier compared to synthetic materials), extra care is needed if you want it to be long lasting.

OVERALL RATING - My Score: 4 out of 5

• PROS: Diaper design makes for a trim cutting and allows free movement of the legs (high cut at the legs); Toddler-proof, hard to reach Velcro fastening at the back! Versatile, trim & fast drying inserts.
• CONS: Fastening Velcro at the back might require practice; Laundry tabs need improving; Bamboo topped inserts might require special care.

Overall, Moms & Tots diaper is a very good effort from a group of Malaysian mums who had designed and created the brand. Well done! It has some great features in term of design and functionality. It is hoped with some minor improvements on the product (and perhaps the addition of more colours/prints), this product can be a perfectly unique and successful Malaysian creation!

About KNICKERNAPPIES One-Size Pocket Diapers:

• Side snapping diapers which comes with 2 inserts (sizes small & large) – ALL Made in USA!
• 4 size snap adjustments: Small, Medium Short, Medium, and Large.
• Scooped tummy panel & top stitching: Best fit under chubby baby bellies.
• Each diaper comes with 2 inserts (either microfiber or LoopyDo – 2 layers hemp french terry + 2 layers ultra-thick microfiber)
• Winner of the 2009 Best Products Award!

I have received for reviewing:

1 Knickernappies OS Pocket Diaper in “Baby Blue”, which comes with 2 LoopyDo inserts (1 Large & 1 Small).

I’m using the new rating system for product reviews for JOLI diapers. Each category/factor below have a score from 1 to 5 (1 being the worst, and 5 being the best). Comments follow each category.

Design & Appearance – My Score: 3 out of 5

• Personally, I feel the design is pretty simple. This is largely due to the fact that it’s plain and not printed (I think I *might* have seen too many printed cloth diapers). They have 11 colours to choose from though, so I bet you’ll find your favourite
• First hand view, it has a wide cutting, and also 4 size snap settings which can be perfect to fit babies of all sizes.
• And of course, the SIDE SNAPS! This is the first time I’ve tried side snapping diapers, so we’ll see how they work.

The side snaps need some getting used to, but with some practice, it’s not really so difficult!

Ease of Use – My Score: 3.5 out of 5

• The biggest challenge for me is to get used to the side snaps. I had some difficulties in the beginning to put them on, and to try to get the perfect fit on the waist and thighs. With an active baby and fumbling on the new system, a little bit tricky!
• Here’s my tip, for successfully putting on side snapping diapers (after some practice and using several other cloth diapers with side snaps): Always put on BOTH snaps on the waist – which are the first snaps located on the top, left and right, FIRST. This is to get the best fit for the waist. Only after that, fasten the other 2 snaps on the bottom to get the right fit for the thighs. I feel this is the correct way to do it. Try it!
• I sometimes fold the insert to the front (the Large size is too long, or if I need extra absorbency on the front for my boy), I find it a little bit difficult to stuff the pocket with the folded insert. The pocket opening at the crotch area is quite narrow for some reason.
• No other issues with use and washing, it’s pretty simple because of the easy to clean microfleece inner.

This Knickernappies diaper comes with 2 LoopyDo (microfiber-hemp) inserts of two sizes – Large & Small.

Functionality & Performance - My Score: 4.75 out of 5!

• I simply LOVE the performance of this diaper! The secret, is of course in the inserts, LoopyDo – I understand why it’s highly rated everywhere.
• The LoopyDo insert is made of 2 layers microfiber on the top layer and 2 layers hemp in the inner layer. Hemp is well-known for its super water retention properties, while microfiber is great at absorbing liquid. This combo is really great, performance wise! I love using the inserts for nap time, and also during the night (layered with another bamboo/microfiber insert).
• The LoopyDo inserts also is smartly designed in a “loop” so the will dry faster, and this is also one super cool feature.
• Being a One-size diaper with snap rise settings, it could get quite bulky at the front for smaller babies needing more “snapping down” of the buttons. This was the case for my baby (Hubby couldn’t help noticing – he’s not a fan of bulky diapers). It helps to wear the Small size insert if your baby is smaller, instead of stuffing a folded down Large insert.
• This pocket diaper is more of a “high cut” cloth diaper. It sits on the belly, very near the belly button. I’m thinking, as my baby grows and it gets less bulky, I will appreciate the side snapping function more because it will give a smooth front, and will not bulk up like front snapping diapers. This will be great for tummy sleeper babies.

Generous sizing – My 1 year old weighing 10+kg is only on the second snap rise setting.

This will last him QUITE some time I think (a plus!!)…

Quality - My Score: 4 out of 5

• I have used these diapers for around 3 months and it is still looking great - no sign of wear and tear for the inserts and cover. Quite hardy!
• There are some minor workmanship issues on the cover, but this can also be the case for any brand of manufactured diaper.

OVERALL RATING - My Score: 4 out of 5

• PROS: Excellent performance for the inserts (great for naps, night use and longger hours); Fast drying inserts (”loop” design); Good quality materials; Easy to maintain; Generous sizing with 4 snap settings – good to use up til potty training (or even *for* potty training because they’re easy to take off).
• CONS: Side snapping might require some practice and getting used to if you’re a beginner; No prints; Can be a bit costly for purchase; Might be bulky for smaller babies.

A little bit bulky at the front for now, but I know they’ll last!

(By the way, I folded the Large size insert in this picture so it does get bulkier)

Overall, Knickernappies One Size Pocket Diaper are a superior quality and high performance diaper (especially for its inserts!). They might be a little bit costly, but having a few pieces in you stash will be great for long hour use and night/nap time, and with the generous sizing, they will also last until baby potty trains! (I think with some pretty prints, it will sway more to give it a GO! )

Did I get you interested? You can get your hands on Knickernappies in Malaysia at Baby-mel.com!

Quite a whiiiiile back, we organized a Giveaway offering great prizes generously sponsored by Lovely Goody – mainly for a chance to win JOLI diapers (Read my review of JOLI diapers here: http://clothdiapermalaysia.com/2011/03/review-joli-diapers-wetbag-discount-code/). I know many of you have been waiting for the announcement, and I’m really very sorry for the HUGE delay in announcing the winners. So here it is, finally!

The main theme of the Giveaway is to invite participants to share about how they store or organize their cloth diapers. And were there a lot of fun ways to do so! Thank you to everyone who participated and shared your ideas. Hope this would encourage other moms to figure out creative ways to organize their cloth diaper, stash and then motivate them into having fun with cloth diapering!

Here are my top 5 favourites (In no particular order):

1) Can I hear all of you say “OH MY GOD” to Mei Hooi’s cloth diaper organization?? A WHOLE FREAKIN’ CLOSET!!!

Source: Epic of Life

2) Storing in a handled basket, like Cassandra does allows maximum mobility. You can easily diaper change anywhere, fast!

Source: Cassandra’s Fac ebook.

3) A super organized way to store cloth diapers is to keep them in tiered drawers like this one. Each drawer for each type of cloth diaper – easy to use, easy to find!

Source: Danial & Eva’s Diary & RUMAH KAMI

4) Storing your cloth diapers in small, easy to reach boxes such as these are convenient, visual eye candy and easy to maintain!

Source: Siti Hafidzatun’s Facebook.

However, the CUTEST, most ADORABLE, and totally UNEXPECTEDLY UNIQUE and CREATIVE way to store your cloth diapers are……

In a laptop carrier bag! How unbelieveably unique is THAT?

If you have noticed I have been missing for a while. Ever since the Great Cloth Diaper Change event ended, I somehow feel a whole wave of relief and got… too “comfy”. Well, let’s just say I took a break to tend and enjoy other things – chillaxing, spending time with family, some traveling, and simply watching movies or reading a book. Sighhhh~~~ I’m sorry for the absence everyone, hope you understand, my mind went blank for a short while B-)

Anyway, thank you for those who voted on the previous poll “How Long Have You Cloth Diapered?” The majority are divided! 23% of you have cloth diapered for 1-2 years, and also 23% of you have not cloth diapered! 16% are newbies (less than 3 months of cloth diapering); 12% have cloth diapered for 6-12 months; and 11% for 3-6 months.

Congratulations to the long-term cloth diaper users, and keep on going newbies!
