Otter Babies Review and Giveaway!

February 2, 2010 Giveaways, Reviews, cloth diapering

Otter blotters from Otter Babies LLC are the cadillacs of cloth diapers. They seriously have so many amazing features that you are getting a huge bang for your buck!  When you watch my video of the overview, you will see how Debby thought of just about everything when she created these amazing – and hugely daddy friendly – diapers!

Before we get to the overview and Josh’s opinion, let me give you my 2 cents and introduce you to Debby.  I love everything about these diapers.  The snap in O-Pad  is hugely innovative.  You can tell which end has more padding and then snap it in the direction you need.  I love that there are so many squishy and thirsty layers but they will wash great and dry quick because of how they are sewn. And boy are these layers absorbent!  Not even the teeniest wicking happened but when I took the dipe off David almost 2 hours later it was drenched.  Gotta love hemp and bamboo! And I am a huge fan of her front pocket that hides the hook and loop!  Now Josh can have his velcro (can you tell I am a snap girl?) and I can have a non-snagging-in-the-wash dipe!  Plus, Bubs can take off his Bum Genius now, I’d like to see him try and get to this one.

And the O-Pad is A-Mazing! It is elasticized to catch the mess and it is stuffable! So the doubler I show you in the video can be put inside the O-Pad and eliminate bunching.

She also has a Multi-Size Snap Down cover that I did not review in the video.  Check it out here – It (like all her diapers) has optional mesh tabs that while not good for night it is excellent for a potty trainer during the day since it allows the diaper to be pulled on like underwear! This one is actually better for being used as a swim diaper than the multsize dipe I mention in the video.  This Multi Size AI2 is a great swim dipe because it is trimmer than the red floral one I reviewed.

Finally, I wish I had reviewed the regular front cover in minky instead of supplex (the blue one in the video).  I have heard so many mamas rave about the super soft feeling of minky on a diaper and the regular front cover comes in minky!  Oh well, the supplex (which is just like PUL but softer in my opinion) fits over the clothes better so that works.  But I am totally going to go look at her minky fabric choices now :)

Here is a really great chart explaining her 3 cover choices- you will be sure to find the cover that fits you, I mean your baby, best!

Now let me introduce you to Debby.  She is super friendly, involved in the Real Diaper Association, eats healthier than anyone I know, and makes more than cloth diapers.  She is also the owner/creator of Otter Trotters soft soled shoes! If you ever have any questions about cloth diapers you can bet Debby will help you out.

Ok, now for what we have all been waiting for: The Daddy Review!

Edited to Add: In the video I mentioned turning the O-Pad inside out – let me clarify that you do not have to turn it inside out to clean it properly. You can just pull the doubler petals out the end they are sewn to – easy peasy!
