Just as most cloth diapering people, I occasionally use disposable diapers. Since plastics and the chemicals found in disposable diapers are a concern for me, I do try to look for diapers that contain as few of those chemicals as possible. [Read more →]

Recently, I re-designed my bamboo fleece inserts for gDiapers.  The original inserts had two rectangular doublers of the same size attached at one end.  I found this a little too bulky for walking toddlers.

So, in order to remove some bulk and to make walking a little easier, I decided to make the second doubler a contour one.  The contour doubler can be either attached at both ends or it can be snapped in.  The snap-in version, allows for more thorough cleaning and faster drying.

The new insert is seven layers thick which should be enough for most babies.  If you have a heavy wetter, then another layer of bamboo fleece could be added.  If you have a light wetter and would prefer less bulk, the insert can be made thinner.

If you’re interested in giving this insert a try, they are available at the Doublers and Wipes Etsy shop.

Today, I thought I would change the topic again for those who are sick of hearing and/or reading about cloth or disposable diapers.

In this post, I wanted to tell you about a very talented artist and jewellery designer from beautiful Northern Ontario.  Her name is Julie and here are a few examples of her wonderful artwork:
