Give it away Friday - joli mini Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Have you ever had one of those days where everything is going wrong, and then the mailman shows up and brings you a bit of fluff and things start to look up?  If you have, you'll know how I felt when my joli mini diaper arrived! 


If you're like me, you would have taken it out of the packaging right away and rubbed the soft minky on your cheek because it is the absolute softest diaper you've ever felt.  You'd have washed it during naptime.  You would have heeded the warnings from the creator and been hesitant to put it on your baby at bedtime that night because the bamboo needs to be washed 10 times to reach maximum absorbency.

If you're like me, you would have been pleasantly surprised, come morning, because even after just ONE washing, your brand new, cute as can be, softer than soft joli mini diaper would still be perfectly dry on the outside...and totally soaked on the inside!  

That's right.  From day one I have NEVER had a leak (of any type!) with my joli mini!  We've used it overnight very frequently.  I wouldn't say Stinky's a heavy wetter most nights, but he does occasionally leak in some diapers.  Not this one!
The liner is different than any I've ever seen before.


I've always used it with the additional snap in portion, but I suppose you could use it without and just use the extra layer for overnights.

I LOVE the snaps on this diaper!  


There are two rows of two snaps!  I love love love that I can get a super-custom adjustment!  To say that Stinky has chunky thighs would be an understatement, and with the way these snaps work, I'm able to adjust the leg openings to be a "half size" larger than the waist!  I snap the waist into the 3rd setting with the outer snap and the thigh to the 2nd setting with the inner snap, and this fits perfectly!

This is my only diaper with a front pocket, and since Stinky's a boy, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it.


I shouldn't have worried a bit!  The insert is so absorbent that I don't really notice any more urine than I would with a back pocket, and I don't ever have to touch the poo since it's in the front!  Perfect!  

What I don't like about the joli mini?  Every once in a while one of the thigh snaps comes undone.  I think that's probably because I snap the snaps the way I do.

The other thing I don't like about the joli mini


When I'm taking pictures of it, Stinky unrolls the toilet paper!  ;-)

Have I mentioned I LOVE the joli mini diaper?  I do!  Not only is it a super cute fun print, but it works like a dream!  As I said, I haven't had a single leak and the diaper fits perfectly!

Janie from joli mini sent along a sweet little cuddle blanket along for Stinky as well!


Oh, and just for fun...introducing Caveman Stinky!


Are you interested in trying a joli mini diaper yourself?  You can purchase one here!  Unfortunately for you, this adorable giraffe print isn't currently available.  There are tons of other adorable options, though!  Everything from solid colors to zebra minky to embroidered dipes!  You'll love whatever you choose!

OR 

You can win one right here!  joli mini has graciously agreed to send one OS pocket diaper to one lucky reader!  This contest is open to US and Canada only, and if shipping is over $10 the winner will need to pay the difference.  (It is SOOOO worth it!)  
Contest will close and a winner will be drawn on March 22, 2011 at 11:59am EST.

MANDATORY ENTRY:
(You must do both parts.  This is ONE entry.)

   Follow my blog with GFC and visit joli mini's Etsy shop and tell me what you think you'd order!  Leave me your email address so I can find you!

EXTRA ENTRIES:

I think I would order that paisley minky, but I'm not sure since it's slightly girly and I'm not sure my husband would let me put it on a boy if we have one lol.
