Grasshopper Bamboo All-In-One Diaper

by Nessie on June 2nd, 2010

I bought the Canadian-made Grasshopper Bamboo AIO diaper after reading some great online reviews.  Since my daughter outgrew most of her diapers, I was in real need of some trim AIOs for going out.  I didn’t have much time to design and make top-stitched AIO diapers at that time, so I decided to buy a couple online – one Rainshine Designs and one Grasshopper AIO.

When I first saw this diaper, I thought it was very small and wasn’t sure it would fit my 32-lb daughter for very long.  Once I tried it on her, I was pleasantly surprised.  The diaper fit and there’s still some room to grow.  The elastic is not encased like with most other top-stitched diapers, but it doesn’t bother me.  Actually, my daughter has no red marks on her thighs because the elastic is not encased.

Pros:

  • Very trim
  • High quality
  • No red marks on my daughter’s thighs
  • Natural fibers on the inside, so no polyester touching baby’s skin
  • Sized diaper

Cons:

  • Not sure this diaper can fit up to 40 lbs as mentioned on the site.  I suspect the rise will be a bit short for most 40-lb toddlers.
  • Not a very absorbent diaper if you have a heavy wetter.  I think heavy wetters might need a doubler in this diaper.
  • The price is quite high.  I think I paid $24.95 CAD + tax and shipping for this diaper which makes it one of the most expensive diapers I’ve ever bought.

My overall rating: 8.5/10

I have not been paid to write this review. The Grasshopper diaper was purchased by me.
