Three Monkeys Cloth diapers Review and **GIVEAWAY**

I am so excited about today's featured diaper from Three Monkeys Cloth Diapers. Let me just say one thing to start with about this shop......CUTE CUTE CUTE!!! I have NEVER seen so many adorable print diapers to choose from in one place in my life. It was torture having to pick just one print for a diaper from the hundreds available. I wanted them all !! One amazing thing about her shop is that she actually has boy prints!!! I have noticed that MANY different cloth diaper shops have all kinds of super cute girls prints, but only one or two boys prints to choose from. Three Monkeys has tons of adorable boys, girls, and gender neutral prints to choose from.

Three Monkeys Cloth Diapers is a fabulous ETSY shop that sells All In One and All in 2 Diapers, plus much more.  She runs her business mainly on a custom order basis, where you can pick from her 300+ prints (check out all of the AMAZING prints here) and many different PUL fabrics. She also does have some pre-made diapers that you can buy on her ETSY shop. Anything is possible with Three Monkeys Cloth Diapers! If you are looking for something specific all that you have to do is contact her and she will try her hardest to make what you are wanting. Some of the things that she makes are pockets diapers, AIO's, AI2's, diaper covers, swim diapers and wool longies.

The way that she makes her print diapers is amazing and different than I have seen before in my CD'ing experience. From the outside of the print fabric diapers it looks like the diaper would need a cover because the outer fabric isn't waterproof......but the diaper still is waterproof! There is a HIDDEN PUL layer sewed in between the outer shell and the inner soaker part to make the diaper waterproof. What a briliant idea!

Three Monkeys was great enough to send me a Green Print Zoo AI2 hybrid diaper and a red PUL AI2 hybrid diaper for testing and comparing. Inside these diapers there is a thick patterned terry cloth insert that is sewn into the diaper as the soaker.The soaker is very absorbent and it easily lasts a few hours before needing a change. I do like to add in an extra insert inside on top of the sewn in soaker.....because my little man pees A LOT.

FIT: Both of these diapers fit my son perfectly and don't make any red lines around the legs. Comparing the two diapers, I did like the solid red PUL AI2 diaper a little better than the print one. It seemed to hold a little longer than the print diaper. I think that the print one didn't hold quite as long because the non-waterproof outer and inner layers meet at the side seam and once the inner fabric gets wet it will leak out a little faster with the print diaper than with the PUL diaper.....but it still holds plenty long enough for normal every day use (if you use a doubler in the diaper they BOTH hold GREAT). We have tried out these diapers for play time, nap time, and normal every day use. I havn't been able to use them at night yet because of my sons super soaker tendencies. I am sure that these diapers would be great at night time if your little one isn't a heavy wetter.

Cost: Very affordable! With 2 and 3 diaper packs running from $25-$30 whats not to loose!! All of her diapers are well made and great quality for the money you pay for them.
