Lalabye Baby OS Pocket Diaper - Review


Lalabye Baby Review
Outside of the diaper!
I have to say the absolute best email I can ever receive, as a blogger, is when an awesome CD store, manufacture or WAHM contacts me to review one of their awesome diapers!!!  When I check my email and see something for a new potential sponsor it makes me super excited!!  Just the thought of something new and different makes me want to squeal :)  and that is exactly what I did when I received an email from Melissa at Lalabye Baby!!!

Lalabye Baby is an awesome Cloth Diaper, family run, company based out of Southern Florida!  They have only been officially in business since late summer/early fall but have put a wonderful OS diaper on the market.  You can find them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest to keep up with all the new happenings!!! 



About the Diaper (from Lalabye Baby)

Lalabye Baby Review
Inside of the diaper with PUL belly band
Lalabye Baby is a modern cloth diaper dreamed up by a mom with a vision!  Desiring to combine a love for cloth diapers and a passion for design, Lalabye Baby was created to provide a high quality, safe, eco-friendly diaper at an affordable price.  Along with our diapers, we hope to bring an awareness to the alarming amount of waste being produced by disposable diapers.  We look forward to all that God has planned for Lalabye Baby and appreciate your input and feedback!

Our diapers are one size pocket diaper designed to be used from newborn through potty training!  Using 100%Natural Bamboo Fibers and PUL (waterproof fabric) Lalabye baby’s diapers' are among the best.  Our diapers are designed in the USA and manufactured overseas.  Utilizing our global resources we custom create and design our diapers with your baby and ours in mind.

Lalabye Baby Review
large insert and small insert
  • Waterproof Exterior - PUL (polyurethane laminate).  This laminate-backed diaper fabric was originally developed for the medical community, but it's softness, flexibility and water-proof qualities make it perfect for cloth diapering.
  • Suede Cloth interior - Suedecloth wicks moisture away from baby, resists staining, and does not hold poo. In addition, suedecloth does not pill and stays new-looking.
  • Four layer bamboo inserts - Each diaper comes a newborn size insert and regular size insert.  Bamboo is one of the newest fabrics in the cloth diapering world. Bamboo is very absorbent, naturally anti-bacterial, and won't hold odors. It has a very silky and luxurious feel and stays soft wash after wash. Bamboo is also very environmentally friendly!

Where the inserts snap together
  • PUL (waterproof) belly band - Having the PUL on the inside belly band helps prevent those leaks onto to clothes or crib.  This is especially true for those little tummy sleepers!  This also a front pocket making it easy for the inserts to agitate out in the washer.  No more unstuffing dirty diapers!
  • There's a snap on the inside to snap the inserts.  This prevents shifting of the inserts if you put it inside and also allows you to use the diaper as an AI2.  Just lay the insert on top of the diaper since bamboo can be next to baby's skin unlike microfiber.
  • Rainbow color belly snaps - no more trying to figure out the fit on baby.  Now you can tell your sitter, grandma or significant other how to use the diaper and make sure it's on right!
  • Back pocket & care label - Our diaper features a front and back pocket to help with the stuffing and unstuffing of the diapers.  The care label gives clear directions on how to wash the diaper.

Color coded snaps!!!!  1 of my favorite things about the dipe!

My Thoughts

Lalabye Baby Review
PUL Belly panel and front pocket opening
Ease:  The only diaper that could be easier than a pocket would be an AIO :)  But if you are going to use a 2 piece diaper, a pocket is the easiest you will find!!  I personally like to use both inserts when I use this diaper.  I will usually use it for when we are going out somewhere and I want the diaper to last.  So I snap both inserts together, snap them to the diaper, stuff the inserts in the pocket and snap on baby :)  Super simple! 

Lalabye Baby Review
Even has a hip snap :)
Price:  At only $14.95 you can't beat the price!!!  That is a wonderful price for a OS pocket diaper with 2 BAMBOO inserts!!!  This is definitely on the low end of the price range for all the features this diaper has.

When and Why I use it:  I use this diaper when I know it is going to be at least 2 1/2 + hours until the next time I am going to be able to change Baby K.  With the 2 Bamboo inserts this diaper can really hold!  It is great for long car rides or when you are going to be walking around for a while with Baby on your back :)  I personally have been using this diaper for over a month and have never had a leak with it!

Recommend:  I would definitely recommend having at least one of these diapers in your stash.  If for nothing else then nap time or long car rides.  The Bamboo inserts make it super trim compared to microfiber inserts and the colors available are adorable!!  And at this price point how can you say no :)  Plus if you keep an eye on Lalabye Baby's Facebook page they have had some awesome deals come up :)   

Lalabye Baby OS Pocket Diaper Review
Tush shot!
Overall:  I am extremely happy that I received that email one evening from Melissa to try this diaper out!  I have loved having it in my stash!  It has been a great addition and has become one of my favorite pocket diapers that I own (I have at least 6+ different brands).  I am always sad when it goes into the wet bag because then I have to wait until wash day to use it again!!  Baby K loves the bright pink of the diaper and is usually a top pick for her (when she is allowed to choose her dipe)!!!

  1. Wow, I agree the price is great! And getting two bamboo inserts, plus extras like a waterproof PUL strip on the inside and optional snaps for the inserts is pretty sweet! Thanks for a great review, Amy.

  2. I love the colored snaps, that's brilliant! Also the PRICE, holy cow. I've gotten good name-brand diapers on places like Zulily and paid more than that, for microfiber inserts!

  3. There's so much to love about this diaper and such a great price! I may have to add a few to my stash for baby #2.

  4. I love that this is a family run company!! I also like the AIO's with the pockents. A lot easier to strip them and wash!

  5. I never realized the colored snaps were more than just decoration. That's brilliant! I'm stash building so I would love to try this.

  11. Love the color coded snaps and the bamboo inserts, I hate microfiber so that is a bonus

    ReplyDelete
  12. Thats a wonderful price to include 2 bamboo inserts! And Im really starting to like the idea of color coded snaps because my daughter is so squirmy during a diaper change that sometimes its hard to see if Im matching up the snaps on each side but the colored snaps would make it so much easier!

  13. I'm so happy that you loved our diapers {blushing}. I'm very pleased with our design and that I'm able to offer it at an affordable price. My goal is for families to be able to cloth diaper their babies and save the environment, money and their baby's bottoms :)

  14. The appealing aspects of this diaper include, suede (vs. fleece) top liner, bamboo (vs. microfiber), the belly panel (I currently do not own any w/a pul belly panel) this would be big for my boy/belly sleeper, and also the color coded snaps which would be great for hubby and grandparents/sitters.

  15. I was just researching these diapers yesterday. Thanks for the comprehensive and informative review! will have to grab a couple for the LO on the way. I really like that they seem to be a trimmer OS as I am hoping to use them on him as a nb if i can!

  16. There are so many features I love about this diaper.... the waterproof tummy band, the colored snaps, the bamboo inserts.... I would love to have one of these! And the price is awesome. Thanks for sharing another great pocket diaper with us!

  17. I would love to try this diaper, but I'm a little intimidated by snaps. Snaps seem like they would be time consuming. I like how they are colored on this diaper.

    ReplyDelete
  18. That is a great price for bamboo inserts, especially since the diaper is designed to function as an AI2 as well as a pocket. I like the inclusion of the belly band as well!

  19. The interior looks so soft! Great price too!

  20. these have a great price i love all the colors and the snaps

  21. Great price and the colors are great! I love the color coded snaps.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love these diapers and would love to try them the names of the colors alone were enough to make me fall in love so whimsical. Also the snap closures make them a must have snaps are the way to go in our house.

  23. Love the idea of rainbow snaps! This would help my husband out so much when changing the kiddos!

  24. i really like the colored snaps. would make life easier. i also like that these seem to be in different colors than a lot of diapers. seems impossible to come up with new color combos but they seem to have done that. and the price is great.

  25. I love the bamboo inserts! I started building a stash of pockets while I was pregnant (primarily buying used on Craig's list) but I'm starting to like the idea of AI2s. This diaper can be either one and I love that! I have a ton of microfiber inserts and I can't use them against baby's skin which is a downside for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love that you get two bamboo inserts with it! What a great price and I love all the color choices

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love that they have different colored snaps. That would definitely save any sitter some headaches/leakage. The price is awesome!

  28. I bet that hot pink would be a favorite for many little girls! I don't know much about bamboo inserts, so I'll have to look into that. I think all the colors on the snaps is cute:)

  29. Thanks for the review! I'm new to cdiapering so hearing what others think is great.

  30. I want this flippin diaper sooo bad. its the snaps and insert thing. Somehow that combo makes my eyes bug out.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love that these have a Pul strip on the inside by the belly. I have been noticing lately that my BGs, which do have this, never get the top of my daughter's pants wet, while our Blueberrys, which don't have the PUL belly strip, always manage to make her waistband damp.

  32. Love colored coded snaps and bamboo!

    ReplyDelete
  33. i LOVE the color snaps and the belly band!! GREAT PRICE!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I would love to try this with extra stuffing to see if it would work for an overnight dipe. The colors are awesome too!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow, that's a great price and for bamboo too! I'm entering the giveaway but I think I might just have to buy one of these anyway. :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Nice. i like the bamboo inserts and color options on the snaps.

  37. i have never used cloth diapers before but would love to try them out for the first time...thanks for all the great information!

    1. Welcome Michelle!! Please let me know if you have any questions about Cloth Diapering at all!! You can always email me at SAH.Cloth.Diapering.Mama@gmail.com or ask on the Facebook page. This would be a very easy diaper for you too try out if you like CDing. A pocket diaper was my 1st 3 diapers and the reason I feel in love with Cloth Diapering!

  39. These look really well-made! The bamboo, snap-in inserts are a MAJOR plus to me. I'm always excited to see such a great review on such a low-cost diaper. I can't wait to get one!

  40. Love the review. Few things that I found interesting and definatly going to look into getting this diaper next month (when my diaper budget allows): love the bamboo inserts and cute colored snaps. This is the first diaper I've seen with bamboo inserts. Love that you said they are trimmer and absorb more-- cause my kiddo is a HEAVY wetter. And I'm finding that I'm having to stuff the heck out of the diapers I have in my stash. Love the colors and the great price!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Pretty colors and a great price! I'd love to use some of these for my baby girl due in March.

  42. I love the multi color snaps and the price! $14.95 is a steal!

  43. I love the color selection, and I love that the inserts are bamboo!

  44. What a great looking diaper at a great price!

    ReplyDelete
  45. They simply have the cutest colors around! And the price is great! I love that they do a pocket with a snap in insert. We use almost all our pockets like AI2s anyway, but it's helpful to have the snap instead of just laying the insert in.
