Apple Cheeks Diapers - Review and Giveaway!

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*

Right before I started potty training Mason, who is now almost 4 years old, I decided that I wanted to try cloth diapering. Just a few months pregnant with Jackson, I thought I would get into the habit, so I could be ready for him.

My meager stash started with a few all-in-one diapers that a member of Freecycle gave to me. I tried my best to take good care of them. But they were old, and didn't work well. Air-drying them made the inside kind of hard, and I'm sure they weren't very comfortable.

Luckily, I've come a long way since then.



I recently got the opportunity to try out an envelope cover with a hemp insert, a bamboo insert and a hemp booster from a Canadian company called Apple Cheeks. The philosophy behind Apple Cheeks is simple.

Throw away your preconceived notions. Ignore your skeptical peers. These are NOT your grandmother’s cloth diapers.

To someone who has never used cloth diapers before, all the snaps and inserts may be rather confusing. Apple Cheeks has a great customer support system which includes an illustrated instruction page, customer service contacts, FAQs, and even video tutorials. There are only two sizes, so you're not having to buy more diapers as soon as your little one hits a growth spurt.



Because I only have a few really reliable overnight diapers, I decided to jump right in and put it to the test. I used just the hemp insert, with no booster. To my delight there was no leakage at all! The diaper is so soft and stretchy, I can only imagine how comfy it must be. So far we have not had a single leak or blowout while using Apple Cheeks. I must say I am very impressed!
