Buttons Diapers Review & Giveaway!

I must say that my favorite items to review and giveaway are items I use constantly, and diapers are one of them!  Before Addy was born we decided to commit to cloth diapering.  My main motivation was the savings.  We knew we wanted me to be a mostly stay at home mom, and that meant that we needed to reign in our budget, and one area we knew we could save was by using cloth diapers.

I committed that even if I hated it, we would do it, and to my surprise I have actually preferred cloth diapers over disposables for many reasons.

1. Little to NO blow out diapers

2. Little to NO rash 

3. Major money savings

4. Happy for the environment

5. Cute little cloth diaper bums

... to name a few.

When Buttons Diapers approached me about reviewing their diapers I was excited to try something new!  In my adorable little package I received the following:

1 one sized diaper cover (pebble color)

1 large daytime insert

1 large nighttime insert

I immediately noticed a few things that really excited me.
-The diaper cover has two layers of PUL, and make them seem more durable!
-There is more elastic than I have ever seen on a cloth diaper for a truly custom fit!  Two layers on each leg help with leg leaks. Front and back elastic help keep the front and back snug (most diapers I have seen only have back elastic).
-The inserts are super soft and super thick.  They reminded me of a small pillow!  Now who wouldn't want that in their diaper?

I love the versatility of the diaper, and the fact that I have been able to use the cover for more than one use!  I use mostly pocket diapers so this was new to me.  Daytime pee rarely soaks through to the cover, because the inserts are so absorbent.  Because you can use the cover more than once, you can spend much less on your stash by just buying extra inserts!

Here is a video to watch on the hybrid system!

My biggest praise for this diaper is that it seems to be the only diaper I have been able to have a successful dry night with.  I use both the nighttime insert and the daytime insert at night and she wakes up with dry clothes.  I have recently been resorting to disposables because even triple stuffing my other diapers has NOT been working.
