::CLOSED:: Tiny Heiney Review + Giveaway

Not only is the owner of Tiny Heiney extremely generous, donating enough diapers to Spreading The Fluffy Love to give to 3 mamas in need, she is also an amazing mama with a wonderful product!

She sent me both a pocket diaper and a fleece cover to review.

Tiny Heiney fleece cover

I must say I am IN LOVE with fleece for overnights now! I admit I was skeptical at first, I couldn't see how the material could possibly be waterproof, I thought only something with PUL added could truly be waterproof. My oh my how I was wrong.

Not only does it hold everything in nicely, containing even my supersoaker who has annihilated so many diapers in the past (both cloth and sposies), it makes them all so soft and cuddly. We cosleep with DD3 and the fleece cover just makes her extra snuggly at night. One downfall of fleece, LINT! Lint sticks to it like crazy! Perhaps thats more a problem of my dryer than anything else though.

Plus its cute as can be. It was meant for DD2 as we suspected a possible PUL allergy but DD1, who is very opinionated in what fluff she wears each day, has laid claims to it. She calls it "my owl diaper" and wants to wear it every time she sees it.

The day the diapers arrived from Tiny Heiney DD1 squealed and clapped and took the pocket as she proclaimed "mine, mine, mine". She's as addicted to the fluff as her mama is!

I must admit it was fluffy love at first site for me too when it came to the pocket diaper. The print is adorable and it has hidden PUL on the inside of the pocket and blue cotton velour for the inner portion that touches baby's bum-so soft!

I love the attention to detail that she gives the diapers. When I was finally able to get DD1 to hand over the pocket diaper for mommy to see I noticed the adorable butterfly and dragonfly embossed snaps that she had included. I have never seen these on any diapers before and thought they were adorable, and fit so well with the print too.

until after I had used the diaper for a few weeks being washed
everyday.

I like to test each diaper I receive at least once on each girl in the daytime and over night so that I can give an accurate review for each. DD1 is 2.5 yrs old and barely weighs 22 lbs and is a very light wetter. DD2 is 22 months old, weighs 21 lbs and is a super soaker, especially over night. DD3 is 10 months old , weighs almost 21 lbs (I imagine she is 21 now!) and is an average/breastfed wetter.

Since DD1 was so in love with the pocket I let her wear it first that night. This was the first time I had ever had a diaper with a cotton velour inner and it was a big mistake to let her sleep in it. She is a light wetter, which means everything is "concentrated" and sometimes the smell in the morning is enough to knock you over. She made the diaper so stinky that I had to strip it as a normal wash did not get rid of the oder. So I would suggest not using this over night if your LO is also a light wetter or has a strong oder in their urine.

Next I tried it on DD2 overnight, I put a microfiber insert inside and an additional booster pad as well. I put the fleece cover over it and everything held up well. When I say she is a super soaker I am not kidding. All she does all day long is drink drink drink and I swear she saves it all up for nighttime.

For DD3 it preformed perfectly overnight as is with no oder issues and no extra bells and whistles added, so depending upon your baby's "flow" you may or may not want to use the diaper overnight.

It is perfect for all 3 during the day and I can promise you that DD1 wears it every single day so it has been washed many many times and still looks new, as does the fleece cover. With 3 girls in diapers I have a decent stash but we still use almost every single diaper we have each day and I wash everyday as well. So I need diapers that can take some serious wear and tear and both of these have preformed well in that area.

I think my favorite part is that they are made by a WAHM (Work At Home Mom). I have decided I want to support the "little guy" and feel like WAHM's can make just as great a product as the big companies. I feel good knowing that my dollars are going to support a family just like mine and not some big business's fat CEO's. I have decided I want to focus on buying Made In America and WAHM as much as possible.

I am very pleased with these diapers in both looks and preformance. I plan to buy a few more (you can NEVER have too much fluff right!?!), especially a few more of the fleece covers. I want to make my snuggle bugs even more snuggly.
