AMP Cloth Diapers Review + *closed* Giveaway

Apr 1st, 2010 Posted in Cloth Diapering, Giveaways, Reviews | 500 comments »

AMP Diapers on Baby ZenCloth diapering has been a very interesting experience. There are a few things that I miss about disposables, but overall the positive benefits far outweigh the disadvantages of cloth. One of the major joys of switching to cloth has been trying out premium diapers such as AMP (all in one) aio cloth diapers.

AMP makes cloth diapering easy by offering great choices to fit the needs of any parent. I was lucky enough to try the Stay-Dry AIO Diaper in Seaspray color and am duly impressed.

The first thing I noticed about this diaper is how luxuriously soft it is. The inside of the diaper is softer than any other diaper I have tried.  The waterproof exterior of the diaper feels delicate like satin to the touch, but the fabric is actually very strong and flexible.

Zen Wearing his AMP Stay-Dry AIO DiaperI love the way this diaper fits our son, and will surely fit him for a long, long time. The tabs are very easy to adjust due to the large Velcro closures. The way these closures are made, there is never any worry about our baby getting scratched. The plush elastic fits snugly around Zens legs and waist without any cramping or pinching.

Most of this diaper’s material, other than the built-in insert, is stretchy. This ensures a perfect fit for babies regardless of their body profile. This also allows crawlers and walkers to move around unhindered.

Zen is wearing a size medium which is meant for children 12-22 lbs.  He weighs almost 20 lbs, but there is still plenty of room for him to grow in this diaper. Of course, he has always been a fairly lean baby. The AMP aio cloth diapers page on their website states that a “very chubby 18lb baby will get a better fit with a large” so use your own judgment when choosing a diaper.

AMP Stay-Dry all in one cloth diaperAMP all in one cloth diapers are not bulky in the least. Not only does this make the diaper extra comfy, it also helps them to dry quickly. Despite being thin, the Stay-Dry cloth baby diaper holds a lot of liquid in its extremely absorbent core. We have used the diaper for six-hour stretches and have not had a leak yet!

The AMP cloth diaper company  was created by a Mom of five children. The name is actually an acrostic for Annie Marie Padori. She began cloth diapering in 2003 with hand-me-downs, but now has a factory in her Canadian Hometown, with a skilled team of workers. Theses employees create many types of quality diapers from newborn cloth diapers to all in one cloth diapers for toddlers, and many varieties in between. The Stay-Dry aio cloth diapers are the easiest to use and that is why they were the perfect choice for our family.
