BOY PARTY
POST 1
GoGreen was developed to address a problem: 3 children in diapers meant a lot of trash for the founder's family. A lot of trash meant extra charges from the trash company. The family went in search of alternatives and discovered name brand cloth diapers for $20 a piece. Imagine starting to use cloth with 3 children at $20 a diaper. So the founders began to find ways to make their own diapers at a lower cost and share them with others.
Today
GoGreen offers a great variety of adorable patterned pocket diapers. Their prices range from $9.99 to $15.95 (plus shipping). They also sell wet/dry bags, wipes, and diaper inserts!
My Thoughts
I love the great variety of pattern and fabric choices that GoGreen has to offer. That was definitely the first thing I noticed about their diapers. I couldn't resist the giraffe print Champ diaper and had visions of a trip to the zoo with this diaper.
My first impression when the diaper arrived was skepticism. I opened the package to find a crinkly bag holding a cheap looking diaper. I was sure that I would hate it. The diaper looked stiff and not as soft and fuzzy as I had expected. I was already trying to figure out how to put a positive spin on my review.
THEN I opened the crinkly packaging and discovered the softest diaper and insert that I have ever felt. For real. This thing is incredibly soft even after washing multiple times. I could hardly wait to put it on my baby's skin. He was excited too and thought he should wear it right away. In fact, he took it away from me and tried to put it on himself!
The Fit
I had to find the flaw in this diaper. When I tried it on my Crackers, I discovered that the fit was not a flaw at all. With 4 options for rise settings and a variety of sizes for the waist, it fits both of my boys fantastically. (Monkey does not like wearing diapers, but sometimes I can sneak them on for sizing). The diaper is tight on his legs without being too tight, and fits around his waist perfectly. Thus we have no leak problems!
The Pocket
GoGreen has a pocket that opens in the front and the back. This is wonderful for stuffing diapers, I can slide the insert into one side and pull it through the other. No worries about wrinkles or funny angles with this diaper. This design also allows the insert to wash out of the diaper in the laundry easily. I don't have to mess with pulling the insert out before washing, I love that!
The Quality
I already mentioned my skepticism when I got the package - I thought it was going to be an awful diaper. The truth is that it is very well made. The design has been well thought out with the double sided pocket and with leg gussets. It includes hip snaps to help prevent wing droop too! The sewing is top quality, this diaper is amazingly built.
Recommendations
If you don't already have a GoGreen diaper or two in your stash, put them at the top of your list for your next diaper to try. You won't regret this purchase (and you might find some fun photo opportunities). I honestly cannot find anything I dislike about the GoGreen Giraffe Champ 2.0 diaper. (Other than I want more).
The Giveaway
GoGreen has generously offered to give one of my readers their choice of a Champ diaper.
This contest will close on Friday, August 19. This giveaway is open to residents of the United States.
