I got my diapers the other day from http://www.benjamuffins.com I heard about them from a friend and they got good reviews on diaper pin. I am very pleased. The CS was great. The company is owned by two very nice ladies. I emailed them a few times before purchasing and they always responded very quickly.
I ordered one daytime diaper and two nightdreamer's. For the nightdreamers I ordered a side snap and a front snap just to see which I would prefer since it varies from brand to brand.
DS is 19 lbs. and 28 inches.
I really like the daytime diaper. It is very trim, yet quite absorbant. I ordered a velour inner and internal soaker. I thought the soaker would be sewn in all around like a cloud9softie but it was only sewn in on the side. That is only a cosmetic issue and doesn't affect the overall diaper. The diaper fit DS very well and I would purchase more. It cost $10. What a bargain!
Nightdreamer diapers are completely lined in fleece so baby feels nice and dry. There is a layer of french terry in the body. I ordered snap in soakers for quicker drying time. It consisted of a fleece lined snap in hemp soaker and a fleece lined sherpa doubler. I liked the side snap very much. The front snap was a little odd in that I thought the snaps were placed too close to the top. They meant that the flaps were sort of folding up. Again, not a big deal, just cosmetic. if I ordered front snap again I would request the snaps be placed a tad lower.
We are talking serious diaper butt!!! It was huge!! The good side is that it is a soft diaper butt. DS has had some nighttime combo's such as Nightly Newts which were so stiff he couldn't close his legs. He was very comfortable as far as I can tell.
DH got DS ready for bed last night so he was in a disposable :( I am trying the diapers for the first time tonight. I will post in the morning about whether it leaks or not.
Sorry the pictures aren't great. it's darn near impossible to get a picture of DS these days. he's all over the place!
Update:: We just went 12 hours in the diaper with not a single leak!! I am so pleased! And because it is completely lined in fleece DS didn't have to feel any wet, soggy hemp.
ETA! One of the ladies is pregnant so they're closing for custom orders Friday and not reopening until September. They will be periodically stocking the instock store. Just an FYI in case you decide to order :)
