Giveaway: AppleCheeks Diapers

Tuesday, May 19, 2009
As you know (if you read my previous post...), today is Lincoln's 5th month birthday!  I thought this would be the perfect day to announce another giveaway opportunity for one of you lucky readers.  What's on the plate?  AppleCheeks diapers!

AppleCheeks are a new type of cloth diapering system out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  Creators Ilana Grostern and Amy Appleton Venu sent Lincoln and I a diaper, 2 inserts, and booster to review a few weeks ago, and we have been using it in our rotation ever since! 
 
How it works
AppleCheeks diapers are unique in that they can be used either as a pocket diaper with an insert stuffed inside, or as a cover with the insert folded and laid on top.  The opening for the pocket is "envelope" style--instead of opening at the back end of the diaper, AppleCheeks open across the middle, creating an extra wide opening that is super easy to stuff.  While I was impressed with the ease of stuffing, I admit I was dreading the first "messy" (you know what I mean) diaper because I did not want to have to touch said "mess" to remove the insert for washing.  So, when said "mess" did occur, I decided the best course of action was to run a little experiment.  I left the insert inside, tossed it in the diaper pail, and when wash day came around, tossed the whole set into the washer.  Lo and behold, the insert washed itself out!  No touching involved at all!!  This is a HUGE plus for me.  I hate having to touch soggy inserts, so if I can just let the machine take care of that for me, BONUS!  I did search the website to see if this was the recommended way to manage the insert removal, and couldn't find any validation there so I asked Ilana via e-mail.  Sure enough, that is what they were designed to do!  That is GREAT engineering, if you ask me!

The Details
AppleCheeks is a 2-size diaper system.  Size 1 fits babies 7-20lbs.  Lincoln was sent a size 2, which is designed to fit babies 18-40 lbs.  Although Lincoln is only (ha!  only...) 16.9 lbs, we went with size 2 so that he'd be able to wear it longer.  It actually fits him great.  The diaper can be adjusted in size via a series of snaps, so we just set it at the smallest size and were good to go.

There are 10 gorgeous colors to choose from--we went with the Cherry Tomato, but it was a close call between that and St. Lucia...In addition to
our Cherry Tomato cover, we were sent 1 Hemp insert, 1 Bamboo insert, and 1 Bamboo booster to review.  The inserts themselves are flat and to use them, you tri-fold them (like a prefold--or, in non-diaper terms, like a letter).  The first way we tried these was using the Bamboo insert laid inside the cover.  I was skeptical that we'd be able to reuse the cover, thinking that the pee would soak through the insert and onto the fleece lining, but I was wrong!  When I went to change Lincoln, the only thing that was wet 
was the insert.  So, tossed that in the pail and went
on to experiment #2--the hemp insert stuffed in the pocket, with the bamboo booster laid on top.  I love how soft the bamboo is, and how absorbent the hemp is, so I figured that was a perfect combo.  Worked great!

The Website
The AppleCheeks website has some very helpful video tutorials for how to use the diapers.  In addition, there is a very extensive FAQ section, detailed care instructions, a contact form if support is needed, and a toll-free contact number.  I have e-mailed Ilana several times and always received a prompt response, so I can see that customer service is a priority!

Favorite Features
Not having to remove the insert for washing, the flat inserts (quick dry time), and the super softness of the bamboo!

Would I change anything?
This is the tough part--there are so many GREAT things about these diapers, how to come up with something to improve upon?  One thing I would love to see is a greater variety of color selection.  The colors available are beautiful, but maybe a bit limited.  

Note:  I know the color of the diaper I have is called Cherry Tomato--but, check out the incredible match to the red Hibiscus from our yard in the picture above.  They almost blend together, the colors were so identical!

  9. I learned Due to the milling process, these fabrics will create lint during washing. Sometimes this lint will compact into balls in between the layers of the flat. This is an esthetic issue only and does not affect either the absorbancy of the product, nor your baby's comfort.

  37. Sometimes the water-resistent substances in diaper creams that make them so effective as barrier creams can cause a buildup on your cloth diapers and cause them to repel liquids. If this happens, you need to strip them.

  53. I liked this info.
    Q: How can I get my diapers white again after they have been stained?
    A. Staining is a byproduct of the purpose of your diapers and while they are esthetically undesirable, the general mantra is that if they smell clean, they are clean! However, we understand that some people do not want their babies sporting stained diapers, so here are our recommendations:
    • The sun makes the best natural bleach! Simply hang your diapers in the sun for an hour or two and watch stains disappear. You should avoid placing your AppleCheeks™ diaper covers in direct, hot sun.
    • Oxygen bleach products (do not use OxyClean as this is a harsh product that will eat away at your diaper's elasic) are gentle bleaching agents that effectively remove stains. Dissolve 1/4 cup of oxygen bleach in hot water in a bucket and soak your diapers for two hours, then wash and dry as normal.

  60. I learned WHY I shouldn't use diaperrash creams- they can gunk up the diaper making it repel moisture instead of absorbing. ANd what to do- strip the diaper by washing 4x w/o detergent after once with a little. It makes sense, but I didn't know. :-)

  142. That sometimes diaper rash creams can cause your diapers to repel and it can cause leaks. You need to strip your dipes if this happens.

    Q: How do I store my dirty diapers?
    A: We recommend our AppleCheeks™ Storage Sacs for storage of your dirty diapers. We do not recommend a wet pail system as this can damage your diapers over time and lead to mould problems. See our care instructions for more infomation. AppleCheeks™ Storage Sacs are leak-proof, and, when sealed with the toggled drawstring, do an amazing job at keeping odours IN the bag! We recommend purchasing more than one Size 2 Storage Sac so that when one is in the wash there is another one for your dirty diapers. Our Size 1 Storage Sacs are the perfect size for day trips!

    i also learned from their that a poopy smell on diapers could be a result of a combination of detergent buildup and urine. In order to rid your diapers of this buildup, you should follow their stripping instructions.
