Best Bottom Diapers Review + Giveaway

I was so excited to get the chance to review the Best Bottom Diaper System.  I know several people who use Best Bottoms and just rave about them.

The Best Bottom Diaper System was created by created by Nicki of Nicki's Diapers.

Taken from the Best Bottom Diapers website:

After years of experience, Nicki the owner of Nicki's Diapers created a new diaper taking the pros of all the different diapering systems and eliminated the cons. This resulted in the Best cloth diaper system available - trimmest fitting and highly absorbent! To help reduce early confusion and the overwhelming feeling when researching cloth diapers, the Best Bottom diapers has simplified cloth diapering while making one of the most economical systems. The Best Bottom one size diapering system is not a pocket diaper, not an all in one, not a fitted diaper and not a prefold system...it is the best of all types!

The Best Bottom Diaper System consists of a one size adjustable waterproof shell with a wipeable inside and interchangeable snap in inserts. The shell fits from birth to 35+ pounds and you can choose from snaps or hook & loop closure.  So those who love snaps are happy and those who love hook and loop are happy too.  Its the best of both worlds. Each system comes with 3 sized inserts.  Inserts are available in Small (birth-14lbs), Medium (11-22lbs) or Large( 16-35lbs)

You can choose between stay-dry microfiber (consists of 4 layers of super thirsty microfiber topped with a super soft no-pill fleece) or organic hemp/cotton (consists of 5 layers of hemp/Certified Organic cotton topped with a soft layer of hemp/Certified Organic cotton fleece.) for the inserts. There are even overnight inserts (consists of 6 layers of super thirsty microfiber) available to make them super absorbent diapers for overnight usage.

The shell also features double leg gussets to hold in the messes that often come with diapers.  My kids may be older but sometimes things are not as "solid" as they should be and blowouts still occur on occasion but these hold everything in nicely.

The shell can be reused a few times as long as they are not soiled/dirty.  Simply unsnap the insert, wipe down the smooth wipeable inside of the shell, snap a new insert in and place back on baby.  This makes the Best Bottom System very budget friendly as you only need a few shells each day.  I believe the website reccomends 8 shells but anyone who uses prefolds/covers knows you can get buy with 3-4 for 1 baby if you wash daily.  3-4 shells plus 8-12 inserts would be enough to CD a baby FT with daily washing.  This makes the Best Bottom Diapering System one of the easiest and cheapest ways to start cloth diapering.

I received a snap closure shell in the Pink Giraffe pattern and 3 stay dry inserts to test out.

As always I tested this diaper on all 3 of my girls both in the daytime and overnight

I love how this diaper fits my oldest daughter, who is a skinny mini.  At almost 3 yrs old she is only 23 lbs, her almost 2 yr old younger sister now weighs a 1/2 lb more than she does!  The diaper is so slim that most would never know she has a cloth diaper on at all.  Even her "skinny jeans" still fit her with this diaper on.
The diaper preformed well overnight with her only needing 1 insert.

For DD2, who is 23 months, the diaper was great.  It fit her well too, very slim and even held up overnight with doubled inserts-she is a very heavy wetter.

Sadly, for DD3 (age 11 months) who is a Tub Tub, the diaper almost seemed too small.  All 3 of my girls wear the same size clothes even though they are different ages. DD3 is only 2 lbs less than DD1.  The diaper just didn't stretch as well as I wanted it to on her.  It was tight and left some red dig marks on her upper thighs/legs. 
It did hold everything in well for her with no leaks, I just wish it was stretchier, that is my only complaint.

*Coming soon: Pics of DD2 and DD3 in the Best Bottom Diaper. 

 I have pics but they are on my camera which was left at my

SIL's today, whoops.  We will be going back on

Tuesday and I will get the camera then or I may

take some on my phone before then to upload.

Over all I really like the Best Bottom Diapers.  I would just have to say that if your baby is on the chubby side the shells may not work as good for you.

I do plan to buy more inserts however.  I have discovered that not only do they work well the the Best Bottom Shells BUT they make the perfect inserts for other pocket diapers!  I have several WAHM pockets and big name pockets and no inserts for any of them.  I was using prefolds trifolded and stuffed inside but the Best Bottom inserts work so much better!

insert fits in perfectly, I left it peaking out so you could see it.

I would highly recommend this diaper to someone just starting out with cloth diapers.  It is as simple to use as a pocket or AIO diaper but at a MUCH more budget friendly price like a prefold/cover diapering system.

Would you like to try out the Best Bottom Diapering System too?  Thanks to Best Bottoms one lucky winner will get to choose a shell in whatever color/pattern they like and 3 inserts in whichever size they would like.
