<div>I would like to introduce you to Tami from <a href="http://www.kissedbythemoon.com/" target="_blank">Kissed by the Moon</a>; a cloth diapering mama and diapering retailer.  I asked Tami a few questions about cloth diapering and her business and wanted to share them with you.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>How long have you been in business?</strong></div>
<div>Tami:  We just opened this past August, even though this has been a dream in the making for a few years.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Do you have a local store or is your business online only?</strong></div>
<div>Tami:  We are online only- I am definitely an &#8220;online&#8221; person and love interacting with chat blogs, forums, and facebook.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Do you participate in any local community education and outreach for cloth diapers?</strong></div>
<div>Tami:  I am slowly finding out about the local cloth diapering community and meeting local mamas.  I created a group on <a href="http://meetup.com/" target="_blank">meetup.com</a> called Cloth Diapering Mamas of Sacramento County, and am hosting the Great Cloth Diaper Change in Sacramento.  If anyone locally wants to meet to discuss diapers, I am more than happy to meet up and chat diapers.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Using only 3 words how would you describe yourself?</strong></div>
<div><strong></strong>Tami:  Hardworking, passionate, and creative.  I think to run any business you need to work hard and pour your heart and soul into it, but you also need to have passion for what you do and love it.  Plus it doesn&#8217;t hurt to be creative and fun with it.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<div><strong>What is your favorite cloth diaper and why?</strong></div>
<div>Tami:  That&#8217;s a really tough question because I&#8217;m not a one-brand diaper girl.  FuzziBunz and bumGenius are my go-to diapers that I&#8217;ve been using for years.  I&#8217;ve just discovered the Thirsties Duo All in One diapers and they&#8217;ve been great for us.  GroVia shells with organic pods are great too, as they dry quickly.  And my latest finds are the Swaddlebees and Tots Bots!  At night we use Rumparooz.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>One cloth diapering tip you wish all your customers knew?</strong></div>
<div>Tami:  Don&#8217;t be too hard on yourself.  If something doesn&#8217;t work, try something else.  There are so many options and styles out there, that just because one kind doesn&#8217;t work, doesn&#8217;t mean that everything won&#8217;t.  Cloth diapering should be fun.</div>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Would you like to know more about Kissed by the Moon?</strong>  Check out their <a href="http://www.kissedbythemoon.com/" target="_blank">store</a>, &#8220;Like&#8221; them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KissedbytheMoonStore" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and follow them on <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/kbtmdiapers" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</div>

<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3946" title="Hiney Lineys" src="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/450Banner-300x300.png" alt="Hiney Lineys" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<h2>Hiney Lineys!</h2>
<p>I have found another new cloth diapering system that I want to share with you.  Do you like covers and pre-folds but want the stay-dry option that pockets provide you?  Then you&#8217;ll love Hiney Lineys!</p>
<p>The Hiney Lineys system is a 3 part system (sometimes referred to as an all-in-three or AI3) consisting of the Versa cover, snap in Liney, and an insert.  Let&#8217;s talk about each piece individually:</p>
<p><strong>Versa Cover:</strong>  Available in one-size, newborn, or toddler/big kig sizes the cover is very similar to most diaper covers on the market.  It is available in both hook &amp; loop and in a side snapping option.  The one-size diaper offers a 2 step rise adjusting snap.  The one-size diaper is rated at 12-35lbs and I think that&#8217;s very accurate to how it will fit (my tot is 25-ish pounds and it fits nicely with some extra room to grow).  The cover is made of water-proof PUL (outside) and wipe-able nylon (inside).  This cover can be used alone as you would use any diaper cover or can be used with the Liney system.</p>
<p><strong>Snap-In Liney:</strong>  What is a Liney??  It&#8217;s a snap-in polyester stay-dry suedecloth layer that fits into the Versa cover.  It&#8217;s an optional piece but when paired with the Versa cover will provide a nice layer of fabric between your baby and the insert that will keep his/her bum super dry and soft.  It&#8217;s similar to a layer of suedecloth that is present in your favorite pocket diaper but snaps in so you can reuse the cover at changing time (assuming that the cover is not soiled).  Ideally you would have more Lineys in your stash than you would covers.  As an extra bonus the Liney is available in a nice tan color so you&#8217;ll never see those pesky stains again (you know those tiny stains that you just can&#8217;t get out &#8211; we all have them).  How does the Liney snap in to the cover?  There are two snaps in the front and two snaps in the back and they simply snap into the cover.  It&#8217;s very simple to do &#8211; even for dads and daycares.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://hineytimes.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/brownliney2.jpg?w=269&amp;h=225" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Inserts:</strong>  Hiney Lineys has 2 different snap in inserts.  They each snap on to the Liney in the front and lay behind the Liney.  The insert that I have is made of Indian Cotton &#8211; 18 layers total in 3 pads that are sewn together at the end.  Being sewn together like this aides in the drying time.  If you use the system with a cover, a Liney and a snap in insert you can have all of the pieces attached and ready to go just like any pocket diapering system so it&#8217;s just as easy for dads and daycare&#8217;s as it is for you.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s &#8220;Versa&#8221;-tile!</strong>  One of the common things that I notice after parents start using cloth diapers is that they become very particular about their inserts.  Some parents love pre-folds and flats because they are so cost effective and flexible.  Other parents prefer hemp for their heavy wetters.  Still many parents use a combination of inserts to find that perfect absorbency for their child.  The Hiney Lineys Versa system offers you this flexibility.  You don&#8217;t have to use the Lineys or the inserts and you aren&#8217;t forced to buy the complete system &#8211; you decide how to use it.  Many parents love pre-folds and flats but would like to add a stay dry layer to keep their babies rash free and dry.  The Hiney Lineys system does just that.  <strong>It truly is a &#8220;Versa&#8221;-tile system.  </strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://hineytimes.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/allinthreediagramwithwords-copy1.jpg?w=502&amp;h=406" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Want one more reason to love the Hiney Lineys system??</strong>  They are <em><strong>made in Maine</strong></em> &#8211; right here in the USA!  It&#8217;s a family owned and operated business and the owner Sheila is a fabulous lady.</p>
<p><em>(Note:  I have a very active toddler who is protesting photos these days.  Once I capture her in her Hiney Lineys I&#8217;ll be sure to share it with you here.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Where to buy?</strong>  Hiney Lineys are now available at <a href="http://www.kellyscloset.com" target="_blank">Kelly&#8217;s Closet</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pinit-button-wrapper"><a href="javascript:exec_pinmarklet();" id="PinItButton" title="Pin It on Pinterest"></a></div><p><em>GIVEAWAY ALERT!!  Enter to win some Tom&#8217;s of Maine Toothpaste below.</em></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk about teeth today!  What do you and your kids use to brush your teeth?  One of those &#8216;popular&#8217; kids brands of toothpaste in those fancy princess or character wrappings?  Have you ever wondered what makes those toothpastes so tasty that your kids choose to eat it instead of brushing their teeth?  I just looked at the back of my tube of Crest Kids and it doesn&#8217;t list the ingredients (aside from the active ingredient) on the actual tube (it probably did on the box) but here is the link to the <a href="http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/146717/Crest_Kid%27s_Cavity_Protection/" target="_blank">Environmental Working Groups</a> list of ingredients for this product.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><a href="http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/146717/Crest_Kid%27s_Cavity_Protection/" target="_blank">Active Ingredients: Contains: Sodium Fluoride (0.15% w/v fluoride ion)Inactive Ingredients: Sorbitol, Water, Hydrated Silica, Trisodium Phosphate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Phosphate, Xanthan Gum, Flavor, Sodium Saccharin, Carbomer 956, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, FD&amp;C Blue 1</a></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Do you see anything that that would be of concern to you?  Maybe the Xanthan Gum, Flavor, and perhaps the FD&amp;C Blue coloring.  Why do we need to give them these artificial sweeteners and colorants to brush their teeth?  Defeats the purpose of brushing their teeth if you ask me&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>We did a Silly Strawberry Swap this past week in our house!</strong> We switched out our regular kids toothpaste with Tom&#8217;s of Maine Silly Strawberry toothpaste.  I&#8217;ve used a small sample of Tom&#8217;s for myself but haven&#8217;t made the official swap in our house&#8230;but it&#8217;s on my list&#8230;now if only I can convince the hubs to try it!  I like the regular Tom&#8217;s so I was certain my kids would like the Silly Strawberry.  I left both tubes in the drawer because I wanted to get their true reactions and see which one they reached for in the morning/nights.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/TOM-Silly-Stawberry.jpeg"><img src="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/TOM-Silly-Stawberry-300x214.jpg" alt="Tom&#039;s Silly Strawberry Toothpaste" title="TOM Silly Stawberry" width="300" height="214" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3927" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Results??</strong> My daughter LOVES the Silly Strawberry!  She&#8217;s only 2 (almost 3) so it&#8217;s not hard to convince her to try something as long as it looks, smells, and tastes fun.  She picked the Tom&#8217;s every day this week and even said, &#8220;I want the Silly stuff mommy!&#8221;  My son on the other hand tried Tom&#8217;s one day and went back to his Crest the rest of the week.  At 8 yrs old he told me he didn&#8217;t like the taste of the Tom&#8217;s and that his breath felt cleaner with his regular toothpaste.  So what did I do??  I tried it myself!</p>
<p>I have to tell you I like the regular Tom&#8217;s (adult variety) myself because you still get that minty fresh taste in your mouth that makes your breath feel fresh.  After using the Silly Strawberry I didn&#8217;t get that minty or fresh feel.  It didn&#8217;t leave that &#8216;clean&#8217; feel in my mouth.  Maybe I should stick with the adult Tom&#8217;s for my son since he&#8217;s concerned about his breath these days (you know&#8230;all those girls he talks to each day&#8230;hehe).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pinit-button-wrapper"><a href="javascript:exec_pinmarklet();" id="PinItButton" title="Pin It on Pinterest"></a></div><p><em>Giveaway Alert!  Read to the bottom to win your own Tushie Ties cloth diaper!</em></p>
<p><strong>Have you heard of Tushie Ties yet?</strong> They aren&#8217;t new but they are a small mom owned and operated company that is local to my area (Tampa Bay, FL).  I had the honor of meeting Crystal (the owner) in the spring at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GreatClothDiaperChangeTampaBay" target="_blank">Great Cloth Diaper Change Tampa Bay</a>.  In fact, we&#8217;re already planning to work together on the 2012 GCDC and have some big surprises in store for our local friends.</p>
<p>I had coffee a few months back with Crystal and she offered me one of her diapers to test out.  If you know me I love new diapers but I usually stick with pockets and simple diapers.  The <a href="http://hyenacart.com/stores/TushieTies/" target="_blank">Tushie Tie</a> diaper is similar to a prefold but instead of using a pin or snappi you tie it on with a piece of ribbon that is sewn on the diaper.  The ribbon is sewn on the front and there are two small reinforced holes at the top.  You lay the diaper down like a prefold (angel fold style) and simple lace the ribbon through the holes and tie it on.  It&#8217;s actually quite simple and it looks adorable once it&#8217;s on.  There is no PUL on the diaper so you will need a cover with these.</p>
<p>The standard (or original) Tushie Ties are made from a Bamboo Velour that is super soft next to the babies skin and so absorbent.  Since they are similar to a prefold you can fold them any way you like. <strong> Here is a quick video shared from Crystal about how to use the Tushie Ties.</strong></p>
<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/A46Vne3i7Zo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t see the video here is the link: <a href="http://youtu.be/A46Vne3i7Zo">http://youtu.be/A46Vne3i7Zo</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Since we&#8217;ve been potty training we&#8217;ve only used our Tushie Ties at night and I&#8217;ve been super impressed with how well they kept her dry.  We did receive an extra bamboo velour doubler (sold separately) that we use at nights and it certainly helps for those toddler nights.  Like I said earlier &#8211; I&#8217;m not a huge prefold girl so I don&#8217;t have much experience folding and fitting them.  It took me a few practice rounds with Lil&#8217; B to feel comfortable with the fit.  I always ended up with droopy legs that didn&#8217;t fit well inside the cover but after talking with Crystal (and a few more practice rounds) I&#8217;ve finally mastered the prefold and the Tushie Tie.  If you&#8217;ve used prefolds in any capacity you&#8217;ll have no problem at all with the Tushie Tie from day one!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The original Tushie Tie comes in a wide variety of ribbon patterns and colors and since it&#8217;s a small company I&#8217;m pretty sure you could talk Crystal into customizing your ribbon to match just about anything.  In addition to the regular Tushie Ties, Crystal also makes an economy line called the Simplicity.  It&#8217;s the same exact diaper but in a cotton fleece lycra (90% cotton) instead of bamboo.  The original sells for $15 each and the Simplicity for $7.99 each!!  Not bad for natural fibers if you ask me.  You can also purchase the doublers in a 3 pack for only $12.  I&#8217;ve actually used the doubler in just about every nighttime diaper we have &#8211; including our new FuzziBunz Trickle Free Trainer!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here are some vintage iPhone pics that I was able to capture before bedtime one night.  They are soft focused on purpose to try and disguise the messy bedroom! LOL!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pinit-button-wrapper"><a href="javascript:exec_pinmarklet();" id="PinItButton" title="Pin It on Pinterest"></a></div><p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Giveaway alert</span></strong> &#8211; one of you lucky readers will win your very own <a href="http://www.tinytush.com/" target="_blank">Tiny Tush Elite</a> cloth diaper.  Go to the bottom of this page for additional information.  <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">ECO-ngratulations Debbie M! </span></strong></p>
<p><strong>I love it when new cloth diaper products are released!</strong> The fluffy buzz gets in the air and I get all excited to see what&#8217;s next.  This week Tiny Tush revealed their new limited edition <a href="http://www.tinytush.com/One-Size-Pocket-Diapers-Elite-11_p_794.html" target="_blank">Tiny Tush Elite 1.1 Prints</a>.  They released a limited edition Star Spangled print just before July 4th which was absolutely adorable.  <strong>To add to that collection there are 4 more prints &#8211; Bubbles, Camo, Bella, and Bots!</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve actually never reviewed the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TinyTushProducts" target="_blank">Tiny Tush</a> collection so it was certainly a welcomed surprise to my stash.  We received the <strong>Bubbles </strong>print with it&#8217;s gorgeous <strong>green background with purple, pink, blue, and white dots</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/TinyTush-6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3309" title="TinyTush (6)" src="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/TinyTush-6.jpg" alt="Tiny Tush Elite 1.1 Print" width="240" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>The Elite is available in both snaps or Aplix &#8211; we of course prefer our snaps!  The Bubble snaps are in a coordinating pink color.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/TinyTush-8.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3310" title="TinyTush (8)" src="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/TinyTush-8.jpg" alt="Tiny Tush Elite 1.1 Print" width="240" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>I love how the bubbles overlap one another creating a rainbow of colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/TinyTush-5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3311" title="TinyTush (5)" src="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/TinyTush-5.jpg" alt="Tiny Tush Elite 1.1" width="240" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>And because my tot decided to poop in her brand new Elite 5 minutes after she put it on this is the best picture I have to share with you today!  The poop was well contained and plopped off nicely into the toilet once she told me she pooped (yes we&#8217;re STILL working on potty training &#8211; don&#8217;t ask!).  It washed up quite nicely too and thankfully she didn&#8217;t stain her brand new diaper.</p>
<p>The Tiny Tush Elite is a pocket style diaper that comes with 2 microfiber inserts.  The pocket opens in the back which I actually prefer.  The front of the diaper is adjustable with a single row of hip snaps with cross-over tabs (great to fit your tiny baby too).  There are three rows of rise adjusting snaps that makes this similar to other one-sized pocket diaper.  The retail price is $19.95 and is available at an authorized <a href="http://tinytush.net/blog/find-a-tiny-tush-retailer/" target="_blank">Tiny Tush retailer</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pinit-button-wrapper"><a href="javascript:exec_pinmarklet();" id="PinItButton" title="Pin It on Pinterest"></a></div><p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Giveaway:</strong></span> Win a 3 piece FRESCHETTA® storage set plus a coupon for a complimentary <strong>FRESCHETTA® By The Slice</strong> pizza.  <strong>Closes at midnight ET tonight (Friday, April 29th)- so enter now!  <span style="color: #ff0000;">ECO-ngratulations Robin!!!</span></strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve decided that since my husband will be out of town tonight and it&#8217;s just me and the kids that we&#8217;re going to have a pizza and movie night &#8211; <strong>I&#8217;m calling it FRESCHETTA® Friday!</strong></p>
<p>Tomorrow is jam packed with activities (Little League Baseball game followed by the Family Fun Fest at my son&#8217;s school) and I don&#8217;t want to spend all night cooking and cleaning so we&#8217;re going to enjoy a <strong>FRESCHETTA® Simply&#8230;Inspired™</strong> pizza.  My son picked out the Hawaiian style pizza with Canadian bacon and bacon, mozzarella cheese, pineapple, and a bold, sweet and tangy BBQ sauce!  It sounds like a perfect ending to our crazy week!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/simplyinspired.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2904" title="simplyinspired" src="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/simplyinspired-300x292.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="292" /></a>We&#8217;ve never tried the<strong> Simply&#8230;Inspired™</strong> pizza&#8217;s but I&#8217;m excited for more reasons than just the pizza.  The <strong>Simply&#8230;Inspired™</strong> pizza is also <span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><a href="http://www.freschettasimplyinspired.com/simply-sustainable.aspx">Simply&#8230;Sustainable! </a></em></span>Instead of the typical cardboard box with shrink wrapped pizza this treat comes packaged in a much trimmer and very thin plastic package.  (OK &#8211; I know it&#8217;s still plastic but hear me out!)  This new packaging reduces their overall packaging by 30% over the traditional packaging and will save:</p>
<ul>
<li>1,378 tons of paper waste a year,</li>
<li>23,433 trees a year,</li>
<li>67,500 travel miles a year,</li>
<li>and 472,500 gallons of fuel a year!</li>
</ul>
<p>My motto is that every little change that a company chooses to take to conserve our resources is important.  By supporting companies who make these changes we as consumers are telling these companies what is most important to us.  There will always be an added environmental impact when we choose pre-packaged foods but as a busy mom it&#8217;s something I&#8217;m OK with on occasion!</p>
<p>All this talk of pizza in the morning is making me hungry!  I think I may sneak a <strong>Pizza By The Slice</strong> for lunch too, making it a true FRESCHETTA® FRIDAY!  What are your plans for today and tonight?  Do you have any fun Friday night family traditions in your house??</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Win it:  Would you like to win a 3 piece FRESCHETTA® storage set plus a coupon for a complimentary FRESCHETTA® By The Slice??  Simply visit their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/freschettapizza">Facebook</a> page, &#8220;Like&#8221; them, and leave a comment telling them &#8220;Hi&#8221; from The Eco Chic!  Come back here and leave me a comment telling me you entered!  I will draw the winners from the comments left HERE but will verify all entries on FB. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pinit-button-wrapper"><a href="javascript:exec_pinmarklet();" id="PinItButton" title="Pin It on Pinterest"></a></div><p>I&#8217;ve always been a big fan of the BabyKicks line of cloth diapers.  I tried their <a href="http://www.theecochic.com/2010/02/21/get-a-kick-out-of-babykicks-new-bumboo-pocket-diaper/">Bumboo</a> diaper over a year ago and it&#8217;s still a regular in our rotation.  Since then I&#8217;ve also added the updated 3g diaper in Chocoholic Pink Love (<a href="http://www.kellyscloset.com/BabyKicks-One-Size-3g-Bumboo-Pocket-Diaper-with-one-size-insert_p_4119.html">a Kelly&#8217;s Closet exclusive color</a>).  The 3g took the already wonderful Bumboo and made it even better.</p>
<p>The 3g has a slightly wider waist and a longer one-size hemp insert.  In addition they added some fabulous new colors to the collection last year including Azure, Meadow, and Poppy.  Late last week BabyKicks released their newest color&#8230;.<strong>a nameless orange 3g.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/orange.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2873" title="orange" src="http://www.theecochic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/orange.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="90" /></a><strong>Nameless?  Orange? </strong> Yes, that&#8217;s right!!  They have a new color that they will be releasing very soon but they need your help in naming this fabulous addition.  Visit them on Facebook and suggest a name for the new orange color (let them know The Eco Chic sent you).  <strong>For every 50 people who leaves a suggestion BabyKicks will be giving away one free diaper &#8211; in orange of course!!!</strong></p>
<p>So head over to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/BabyKicksOrganic?sk=wall&amp;filter=2">Facebook </a>and leave a comment on their post from last Thursday.  The name that color contest will end on Saturday, April 23rd at midnight (ET) so go cast your vote now.</p>
<p><strong>What would you name this new color?  I&#8217;m thinking creamsicle sounds kinda yummy!  Or what about daylilly?  What a hard decision. </strong></p>
<p><em>Disclosure: BabyKicks provided us with the original Bumboo and the revised 3g for review.  The opinions expressed in this post are all my own. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pinit-button-wrapper"><a href="javascript:exec_pinmarklet();" id="PinItButton" title="Pin It on Pinterest"></a></div><p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Giveaway alert!!</strong></span> One lucky winner will receive 2 itti bitti diapers plus one bitti luxury wet bag.  Details on how to enter at the bottom of this post.  <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">ECO-ngratulations Amilee! </span></strong></p>
<p>Have you heard of <a href="http://ittibitti.us/">itti bitti </a>yet?  This unique cloth diaper is making it&#8217;s debut in the US in about a week and I&#8217;m excited to be one of the first American&#8217;s to join the <strong>itti bitti</strong> family!  The <strong>itti bitti </strong>brand of cloth diapers have actually been around since 2005 in Australia and is launching in the US later this month (March 2011).</p>
<p>The <strong>itti bitti</strong> line includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>the bitti tutto</strong> &#8211; a one-sized cloth diaper</li>
<li><strong>the bitti d&#8217;lish</strong> &#8211; a sized cloth diaper with either snap-in-one or all-in-one inserts</li>
<li><strong>the bitti boo</strong> &#8211; a fitted cloth diaper (requires a cover)</li>
<li><strong>the limited edition bitti prints</strong> &#8211; the seasonal minkee prints</li>
<li><strong>the luxury wet bags</strong>, and &#8211; in the same minkee fabric</li>
<li><strong>the ultimate wipes</strong> &#8211; in brights or whites</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried the entire product line (except for the all-in-one) and I&#8217;m in absolute love with the ultra soft minkee fabric.  Minkee fabric is so soft that it reminds me of a stuffed animal.  My daughter loves to &#8216;pet&#8217; her diaper and always comments on how soft it is when I put it on her.  You would think that a fabric this soft would require a cover but that&#8217;s not the case &#8211; the<strong> bitti boo</strong> is the only diaper in the brand that requires a cover.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not usually a sized diaper fan because I have a hard time picking the perfect size diaper for our growing tot; however I actually liked the way the<strong> bitti d&#8217;lish</strong> fit better than the <strong>bitti tutto</strong> one-sized.  Both the<strong> tutto</strong> and the <strong>d&#8217;lish</strong> fit nice and had some great features.  The<strong> tutto</strong> comes with the patented <strong>poo-fence</strong> which is a great inner gusset that keeps the poo on the inside of the diaper.  Both the<strong> tutto </strong>and the <strong>d&#8217;lish</strong> come with snap in bamboo or microfiber soaker pads that allow you to customize the absorbency to meet your child&#8217;s needs.</p>
<p>Enjoy my slideshow featuring the <strong>itti bitti</strong> line of products and highlighting some of my favorite features.</p>
