The Diaper Addict Hybrid AI2 - Review

Outside of Diaper

The 1st time I met Amie from The Diaper Addict was last spring.  She was invited to a meet up I was going to by a fellow WAHM that I know.  We met at the mall play place one morning, hung out, chatted and chased some little ones around!  Thinking back on it I believe this was in late March to early April, since I was picking up Baby K's birthday diaper and we were talking about the event.  I was still looking for a couple days to fill in April so Amie was generous enough to donate a set of cloth wipes for one of the days!  This is where things started but it was just the beginning :)

I followed The Diaper Addict on Facebook since our 1st meeting and have kept in touch with Amie.  We would chat every once in a while on Facebook, keep up with each others pages, and the other surface stuff.  During the Olympics was when everything started to go below the surface!  Pretty much everyday I was spotlighting one of the Olympic diapers she made!  I would message her with how many likes, comments, shares, etc. the diapers were getting!

Not long after the Olympics Amie decided that it was time for me to review an awesome Diaper Addict diaper!!  Was was super excited!  We met one afternoon, locally, and she brought the adorable diaper with her!  It was an AI2 with a cute and fun flower print.  A loved it, and of course she is usually the one to pick the diaper that goes on Baby K's tush!  I could not wait to try it out!

A Little About the Diaper (Hybrid AI2 from Amie)

Smallest Rise Setting & Cross Snapped

Round or Square Wing Foldover Rise AI2 -  a petal soaker is included.  Diapers should fit babies 10-12lbs to 30+lbs but each baby is different, these are just guidelines.  

Outer - Depends on Fabric Choice!!

Hidden - Polyester Fleece

Inner - Polyester Fleece

Petal soaker - two petals, each with two layers of heavy bamboo fleece, top petal has one layer of velour (either cotton or bamboo).

Diapers are made in a home with a beagle.

My Thoughts

Largest Rise Setting but Snapped in Middle

Ease:  I love that you can customize this diaper.  It has the 2 petal soakers that you can snap together and use both or you can use just the top one.  The diaper is super easy to use.  All I do is snap both petals together, snap them into the diaper, put the diaper under Baby K, pull it up over her, fold down the rise and snap.  The petal soakers in this diaper are just as absorbent as the snake style soakers but you don't have to worry about folding them to fit baby!!

When I use it:  I use this diaper at NAP!!  Since it is a Hybrid AI2 it is bulkier than most AI2s.  This is due to the 2 layers of fleece which make the diaper waterproof.  This is not a big deal in the summer when Baby is usually not wearing pants (to show off those diapers) but with winter coming Baby K will need to wear pants.  Sadly I could not fit pants over her tush with this diaper :)  It works great for us for nap though and I wear it under skirts or when we are at home.  The Diaper Addict does make an AI2 that has hidden PUL!!!

Price:  Hybrid AI2s run between $24 and $30ish depending on the fabric.  HTF and special fabrics do make the price higher than a regular fabric diaper.  But this is the way of ALL WAHM diapers.  They would just lose to much money buy purchasing the higher price fabrics and charging the same price.  The Diaper Addicts prices are usually $1-$2 cheaper than other WAHMs.  

Recommend:  I definitely recommend trying a diaper from The Diaper Addict!!  Amie is a wonderful WAHM to work with and she truly cares that ALL of her customers are happy.  She puts time and dedication into all the small things.  Even making sure a label is on your diaper!  In the end you will be more than pleased with the overall experience of a Diaper Addict diaper!!

Overall:  Amie has been on of the best WAHMs I have worked with.  She was super flexible with allowing me to push back the giveaway for a blog hop.  And then she has been super kind in me not getting the review up with the giveaway due to Baby K's rash :(  Thank you so much Amie for all your help, kindness, and understanding!!!  Hope the boys are doing great and can't wait to get together again soon!!!   

All opinions are my own and not influenced in any way.  This diaper was provided by Amie at The Diaper Addict for review.  No additional compensation was accepted for this review.

Pictures of Baby K in the diaper coming soon!  Diapers are in the middle of being disinfected due to a rash and I don't want to reinfect baby :)  Thanks for your understanding!
