Smartipants Review & Giveaway!!!

See that fun and funky, Fire Engine red diaper on my cute little chubber?  Doesn't he look smart?  ::pun intended, lol::  Well folks, this adorable diaper came to us courtesy of Smartipants!

Here's a little info about the Smartipants company:

Smartipants was the vision of a mommy of four who was constantly looking for an economical, yet easy to use cloth diapering system. She actually was the inventor of the first ever one size fits all pocket diaper called Wonderoos, maybe you have heard of them? She has since left Wonderoos and joined the Smartipants team and we are extremely happy she did!

As a company Smartipants is committed to making cloth diapering not only easy, but affordable. Our mission is to provide smart parents with smart solutions. We are dedicated to being 100% green, environmentally friendly, economical, and determined to keep our diapers proudly made by mothers in the United States of America!

We have a facility with over 7 years of diaper making experience and look forward to changing the world one smart parent at a time.

Hello, awesome!!!  MADE IN THE USA BABY!  We're huge supporters of made in the USA businesses here at our house so this was a big sell for us.  Smartipants diapers also have a patented SmartSleeve and an amazing amount of snaps, ensuring a custom fitting diaper through all those growth spurts.  One of my favorite things about this diaper is the fact the this vibrant red fabric didn't bleed in the wash!!!  I stuck it in with all my other diapers and held my breath, everything came out clean and nothing was stained pink (you know you've all been there before...).  The elastic on the diaper was sturdy, but not tight and cutting off circulation and it was all well covered with super soft material.

Thad tested this diaper out during naps, playtime, and through the night.  We never had any leaks and the diaper is made from super soft "breathable" fabric with no chemicals or irritants, so I felt really comfortable leaving this on him overnight -- even on those nights he slept past the 12 hour mark and into 14 hour territory (oh and no, I didn't get to enjoy this...the hubs was home those days...lol).  The best part, you don't have to take out the soiled liner when you toss it in the wash -- it comes out all by itself! =)

Smartipants come in a wide variety of colors and are sold in singles and packs to save you some moola.



Overall, I'd definitely recommend adding some Smartipants to your diaper stash.  At one of the lowest prices I've seen on cloth diaper (especially with snaps), Smartipants are a great value!  A single Smartipants diaper retails for $14.95, but you can get a pack of three for $36.95 (hello, savings!).
