My Favorite Travel Diaper & a Giveaway!

The winner of the Giveaway is Dawn Phelps! Congratulations, Dawn!

I started cloth diapering in 2005, shortly before the birth of my 4th child.  I started with used Motherease One-Size diapers and Motherease AirFlow covers.  I adored them, but quickly found traveling with cloth diapers AND covers would require a diaper bag the size of a suitcase.  Four kids and a suitcase just wasn’t feasible, so I began looking for good diapering system for travel.

That’s when I ran across FuzziBunz pocket diapers.

The outside of the FuzziBunz are PUL (PolyUrethane Laminate), which is a waterproof layer, with snaps for fastening.  The inner layer is a microfiber to keep wet away from baby’s skin.

All I had to do to be ready for traveling was to stuff the diapers with absorbant layers, fold them over and throw them in the diaper bag.  They were nice and compact and there was no need to fish for diapers AND covers in the diaper bag.  And as long as I had the right size for baby’s thighs, the diapers NEVER leaked.

FuzziBunz recently improved upon their design to create a One-Size pocket diaper!  That means my dilemma with getting the right fit in the waist and thighs is solved!  This diaper fits ’em all with just a simple adjustment of button elastic.

Plus, I don’t have to buy an all new stash for each size!  Baby and toddler can both wear the same diaper with a little adjustment!

And guess what?!

You can WIN your very own One-Size FuzziBunz from

Sweet Little Blessings

to use with your little one!

Before I give you details about the giveaway, I want to quickly introduce you to Coleen of Sweet Little Blessings:

Coleen started using cloth diapers 11 years ago with her 4th baby in order to save money.  She is now the mother of 11 children, with number 12 on the way!  Starting an online cloth diapering business in July of 2008 was a natural fit since she has so much experience cloth diapering babies.  Coleen is also a fellow homeschooling mom, who scrapbooks, sews, reads, and bakes in her “spare” time.

I was thrilled to be able to partner with another homeschooling mom of many for the SavvyBlogging Summit, and I am so excited to be able to offer this giveaway from her as well!

In addition to the giveaway, Coleen is also offering a COUPON CODE for my readers to receive 10% off their order at Sweet Little Blessings!

The coupon code is:

    These diapers look great. When I did cloth diapers with my first five, we used prefolds, plastic pants, and diaper pins. Oh, how things have changed! Now that baby number six is on the way (yeah!), I’m looking forward to trying these new diapers.
    And, yes, we did use cloth diapers when we traveled as long there was access to a washing machine.

    I am pregnant with my fourth child and have never used cloth diapers but would love to try! My mother used them with my youngest sister and loved them. I just never really gave it much of a thought. Thanks for doing the giveaway and I hope I win!!!

    I’ve been cloth diapering (off and on) since just before my second child was born in 2004. Since my goal was to save money, I simply used prefolds and covers. I tried just one time to travel on a two night trip with our cloth diapers and it was insane! Making sure I had enough diapers, liners, covers, snappis and/or pins (for backup), wipes, bags for the dirties on TOP of all the clothing changes needed for a 5 week old and his 19 month old brother. I think we had two bags just for diapers and clothes for the kids, plus the extra bag of dirties to take home when it was all said and done. I’ve since picked up a few hand-me-down diapers from friends, but never had the chance to use an AIO and would love a chance to try them out.

    Hello and thank you for offering such a great giveaway.I started real cloth diapering for baby number three.Since that time I have added five more blessings and have used cloth diapers off and on to save money.For our most recent baby we have used cloth diapers because I feel it is so much better for her.I use a variety of different ones.:)I buy our diapers used so we have some that work better for traveling than others but yes we travel with them and it makes for a huge bag alone of just diapers.I bought a huge reusable Pink shopping bag that I use for that purpose.:)I am addicted to diapers and would love to win.:)

    I have been so scared to travel with cloth b/c we currently use prefolds and covers and would really take up a lot of space in our vehicle. So glad for your suggestions on the Fuzzibunz…I’ve had lots of people recommend those and with another baby on the way (my son is 11 months and I’m due with #2 in October) having something that I can use for both boys would be great!

    Also will definitely look at the Motherease One Size diapers for home use!

    I’ve never traveled with cloth diapers, but baby number 1 is due in October, and we’re looking forward to trying cloth. This is one of the brands we’ve been looking at, so it’s nice to hear from a real mom who has used them!

    I just recently went back home to NC with 2 little ones in CD’s and it was pretty easy! I just took along my wet bag and stopped at rest areas when need be and washed them out. It was ALOT easier than I thought it would be!

    I hear you when you talk about traveling with all those pieces. I am still using pre-folds and PUL covers, with baby #4 on the way I would love to try out a pocket diaper.

    Hi Amy,

    I have cloth diapered on a off starting back in 1997 after my second was born…..then was a full time cloth diapering momma after my 5th was born in 2005…up until this last one was potty trained at the age of 2.

    I never traveled (on an over night trip) with cloth….but did use them when I was just out for the day! I loved my Fuzzy Bunz!

    Thanks for the chance to win.

    Peace and Love,
    Georgiann

    I’ve never traveled with cloth diapers, no. I used to use cloth for our second child, until we had to put him on laxatives for a medical condition. Cloth diapers and laxatives…well, I’m just not woman enough for that fun combo. After that I accidentally ruined the waterproofiness of my covers with a poor detergent choice, and was just too depressed and demoralized to start over. We’ve been using ‘sposies ever since.

    Now that we have more children (and therefore more bumpers wearing diapers) I’ve been thinking about getting back into it, and this may be just the impetus I need! Thanks for this giveaway!

    I traveled with my Mother-Ease diapers for years. At the moment our 5 week-old is working her way through the 500+ disposable diapers we received for our baby shower this weekend. After that I imagine we’ll continue to use the prefolds I bought this time around. The Airflow covers are still my favorite, no matter what kind of diaper I am using, but I’d love to try a Fuzzi Bunz. That button elastic trick is SWEET 🙂

    yes, I have traveled with cloth daipers, usually just for long weekends, but not for our long 3 week type trips. I wouldn’t mind taking the diapers on the longer trips, but wasnt’ sure how often i would be able to do laundry.

    I would love to try an all in one diaper some time.

    I’ve only traveled a few times with cloth… it’s still a little daunting to me. But with my 3rd little one, who’s now 6-months old, I started using fuzzi bunz and LOVE them!! However, I didn’t know they started making one-size! Now I truly consider them to PERFECT cloth diaper, and I’d love to try out one of the one-size with my lil’ man.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I tried traveling with cloth diapers once. But decided it was too bulky. And too inconvenient to always have diapers leaking on beds that weren’t ours! (I’m still looking for a good diaper cover…)

    We have not had any overnight travels since I started cloth-diapering full time 4 years ago. We do have several days a month where we are gone about 12 hours. I have 2 in diapers (an almost trained 2 yr old and a 7 month old) and I have quite the stuffed diaper bag–a large Vera Bradley as well as another bag that stays with our vehicle with back-up clothes, extra wipes etc. I use prefolds and the ME Air Flow covers–love them! I rarely have leaks–only the type that would leak no matter what kind of diaper 🙁 I’d love to try Fuzzi Bunz. They have snaps–which I prefer–and would work for both of my little ones. I love a streamlined system 🙂

    1. Traveled with cloth diapers – Just started using cloth and it has been a pain traveling with them. So much stuff to take, very bulky and my husband does NOT like traveling with them. 🙁 I just got me 2 FuzziBunz and I am hoping that will help some. I just need more of them.

    I already “Like” Sweet Little Blessings on FB so I can’t do that again. Maybe I can talk my husband into letting me order a couple more FuzziBunz from Coleen. She is SO helpful and I love ordering from her…quick and easy.

    God bless you, Amy!!

    I have never used cloth diapers. This would be a great way to try it. I have a 10 month old and I am expecting again in December. I have never had 2 in diapers and I have toyed with the idea of doing cloth but I was afraid of spending all the money and not liking it.

    We are on child #5 and this is the first time I have seriously used cloth diapers. I researched them and chose Fuzzi Bunz. They have worked well. I did purchased used with the original design, so they have leaked. They are the small size, so next I will most likely buy the one size.
    I have traveled with them and would agree that it is easy to pack them. They are not much bigger than a big load of disposables. I just keep a ziplock bag in my diaper bag for future washing.
    They are super easy to wash. They have redefined cloth diapering!

    I tried cloth diapering with several of my children, and happened to use Fuzzi Bunz. The issue I had was my first 2 children had skinny chicken legs to they leaked, and then my 3rd daughter was a michelin baby & the newborn size was too small! It looks like they’ve tried to remedy this with the new diaper so I would love to win!

    I have traveled with cloth diapers before. We use prefolds & covers, so it is bulky, like you said. I have a few fuzzi bunz (I prefer pockets when we get to potty-training time), but I’d love to try a one-size one.

    I’ve traveled with cloth no problems. If it is longer than a couple days I usually go with the disposables. When I had two in diapers, same size, and visited my parents for two weeks they had no problem with the cloth.

    I have never used cloth diapers on my kids (2 of them so far) but plan on doing so with this next one due in Jan, so I have not yet travelled with cloth diapers. I’m loving the opportunity to learn what works for others before I have to try things out on my own!

    We always travel with our cloth when we go to our parents’ houses. It’s easy to travel when you know there’s a washer! Right now we are in Maine for a week with sposies. No washer at the hotel! Can’t wait to get back to our cloth and to figure out a good way to travel with them!

    Have I traveled with cloth diapers? oh yeah. at least when I go to my SIL I can use her washer & dryer, she doesn’t mind. It takes a bit more fore-thought, I’m always looking for ways to simplify CDing and traveling. I’ve tried disposable liners, changing frequently and using extra soakers to make diapers last in the long car rides too!
    I’d love to give these new Fuzzibunz a try!!

    I’ve never traveled with cloth diapers… in fact I’m just looking into cloth for my soon to be arriving 3rd. I was wondering about travel due to a cross country move we’ll be taking while still in diapers. Thanks for the chance at a free diaper!

    Yes I have traveled with cloth diapers. NOT FUN! I would love to give these a chance! I literally took a small LLBEAN duffle bag full of diapers with me to my mom’s for the weekend. Since then I have just bought disposables for trips. Also when I go to shopping for an extended period of time it’s a pain. I still do it but would love to find something that worked better. 🙂

    Yes I have traveled often with cloth diapers and cross-country with cloth diapers. It is all okay as long as you have a washer readily available. We have used BumGenius 3.0 AIO and LOVED them and even posted all about them. We found that they never leaked once and we also use a wet bag from Planet Wise (a big necessity!) to store all the dirty diapers in until we can wash them. I would love to give Fuzzibunz a try.
