GroVia Review

I am saving my most favorite of the newborn sized diapers that I tried out for last.  They are the GroVia AIO newborn cloth diapers.  I absolutely loved them.

There are many things that I loved about the GroVia Newborn AIO diapers.  I love the prints and colors.  They are so cute.  They have a lot of selections for boy, girl and neutral colors and prints.  My favorite was the Mod Flower and the Cloud.  I really loved how they have extra snaps in the front so that the rise can be lowered to accommodate the umbilical cord area.  This makes them perfect to use right from the start.  I also liked that the interior is natural cotton (instead of the typical microfiber) and the outer is TPU.  They are technically AIOs because the absorbent layer is sewn on the inside, but it's not inside the diaper.  It is loose allowing it to be folded as needed for wetness protection (higher for boys, lower for girls) and it allows the absorbent layer to be washed and dried on both sides.

At 6 lbs with rise snapped down.

It's difficult to explain what I didn't like about them because it is caused by one of the reasons that they are my favorites.  I really didn't like that they took forever to wash and dry.  They were the only diapers that stained.  They took two wash cycles and two dry cycles, plus I had to hang them overnight to get them to finish drying.  They were very absorbent; which is good for using, but not so fun for washing.  This is because they use cotton instead of mircofiber.  Because I love that they use a natural fiber (perfect for those really sensitive babies!!), it is something that I didn't like, but I was happy to live with.  My other complaint is that when they were getting too small (by 10 lbs!) they leaked out of the leg areas.  I think it's because of the cute gathering around the edges.  I think that if the inner cotton fabric wasn't exposed by that, then they probably wouldn't have leaked and I could have used them a little longer.  I really wish we could have used them longer, they were the first ones that she grew out of.

8 lbs.

8 lbs. Cute ruffle at legs.

I still think that their pros far outweigh their cons.  I can't wait for an opportunity to try more GroVia products.  I really loved these diapers, even with the few inconveniences...they were the ones that I was going for first.  And they are the ones that I'm the most sad that I can't use anymore.

10 lbs.  Already on the last snaps.

10 lbs.  Little legs are getting chunky!

GroVia definitely gets this Trophy Wife's Seal of Approval!

Wee Little Changes Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED

Wee Little Changes is one of my favorite online stores.  They were an integral part of my cloth diapering experience.  When I first started thinking about using cloth diapers when I was pregnant with Little Man, I got most of my information from their blog.  When we decided that we were going to use FuzziBunz Onesize diapers, they were where I found the best deal too!



They have great Newborn Diaper Rental packages.  Babies are only that small for a short time, so sometimes it can be very difficult to justify spending so much money to buy diapers that you'll only use for 6 weeks.  Their rental packages include 24 of your choice of FuzziBunz XS, Bumgenius XS or GroViz Newborn diapers to be used for 90 days and you get a $40 coupon when they are returned!

I love how easy their site is to navigate.  Everything is all laid out and organized.  I also love that they have free shipping and they usually have a discount code for different events and holidays.  They also have a really great rewards program.  There are a ton of different ways to earn 'points' that you can redeem for products or a discount on your next order.  They host some great giveaways on their own blog too.

One thing that stands out about them is how easy they are to work with.  Their customer service is absolutely amazing.  I was able to get copies of my original sales order from them almost a year after my purchase.  Any questions that I've had have been answered in a timely manner.  They are so great about communicating with their customers.

Wee Little Changes provided me with a GroVia newborn AIO diaper to review for this event.  I will be posting that review later on.  They are also offering a lucky reader a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to their online store!
