Your baby has a soft cloth bum, now it’s your turn! Reusable and ultra-soft bamboo nursing pads are the way to go. Bamboobies reusable nursing pads are easy to wash out, they dry super quick and they feel as soft as cashmere. Let’s face it, nursing isn’t always the easiest on the girls, but now we carry something that works extremely well and makes life easier too.

Bamboobies are made of ultra-soft bamboo and the daytime ones are in a unique heart shape. What is so great about this shape? With the heart shape, the Bamboobies nursing pad molds perfectly to your breast. No lumps, no bumps and most importantly, no tell-tale lines. Our daytime tester loved how soft and unnoticeable they were, even with form fitting shirts.

For night time, Bamboobies are super absorbent and will get you through the night. They are glamorous and they are quite thick, but when absorbency at night is ultra-important, these are the nursing pads for you. One of our testers stated she was overjoyed with the level of absorbency; she had never had one pair of reusable (or disposable) last all night.

Bamboobies are available in two different sets, one set of three pale pink daytime (heart shaped) pads and one pair of night time or one set of pale pink, dark pink and black daytime pads and one pair of night time. Pick up a set and you’ll quickly know what all the mom’s using them are raving about!

GroVia shells

The GroVia cotton soakers are made from super absorbent organic cotton. They wash up really well and absorb quite a bit. A unique feature of their cotton soakers is that they have elastic in them on the sides. The elastic on the sides allows the soaker to fit more snugly against a baby bum. What this also means, is that they do a pretty good job of holding poop in place and not soiling the cover. With all hybrid (or insert and cover systems), the idea is to reuse the cover until it gets soiled. With the elastic along the insert edges, helps to minimize how many complete cover changes you may have to do in a day.

The BioSoakers are very handy environmentally friendly disposable inserts that are great to use if you’re travelling or you just don’t have a chance to do a load of diaper laundry. The GroVia Biosoakers unfold to a nice size that provide you with excellent coverage and absorb quite well.

The GroVia shells are a little different from most brands as they are made of a material called TPU. TPU is similar to PUL, it is a waterproof outer layer that keeps baby’s clothes dry. The shells are a one-size cover that fit on average from 10-35 pounds. With the testing we’ve done, we find that the GroVia shells with the soakers start fitting well around the 12 pound mark as any organic cotton soaker/insert does provide more bulk to a diaper than a microfiber, hemp, or bamboo insert does. However, the shells are great to use with infant prefolds from the newborn stage. With an infant prefold, you can reuse the cover until it’s soiled and then the covers work well with the soakers (or larger prefolds if you go that route) once your baby gets a little bit bigger.

The big question with GroVia that we always get is “how many shells do I need?” We recommend one shell per four soakers. For the most part, you should get 3+ changes per shell, sometimes a few extra changes, sometimes a few less. For a full day, once your baby is past the newborn stage and lots of diaper changes, we suggest four shells per day. With washing every second day, eight shells and about 24 soakers or inserts will get you through with extra’s while your diapers are washing. As your little one gets older, you will be able to extend washing to every third day or so.

We have lots of Sloomb wool covers stock, but I’m sure they will disappear as quickly as they appeared yesterday!
