Rumparooz–A Mama’s Emporium Review


IMG_20121026_130628

 I like cloth diapers, I like the money it saves, I like how it’s good for the environment, I like how cute my son’s fluffy little butt looks in them, even if it means he can’t wear overalls in the proper size because they all unsnap between the legs. However, I was at a point where I didn’t care about cloth diapering. They diapers were all blurring together, I was getting frustrated because a change in detergent combined with a new HE washer was causing an ammonia problem (but that’s a story for another post) but then it happened- I won a giveaway.
I am a member of “Mama's Emporium Market Research Group”  and a fan of her Facebook Page, and I will be honest, I don’t remember which was giving away the diaper, but I do remember I won it. (PS check out her website here- this is an affiliate link)
It arrived and it was cute, I got to choose the adorable grey color, (a color that was missing from my amazing stash) and I loved it. The diaper went into my stash, and I didn’t think about it much. It entered rotation, and we used it problem free, and to be honest, when I reached for it, it was because of the color.

This is where it gets good. One day a mama on one of my cloth diapering groups asked if anyone had tried Rumparooz and what we thought about them. I quickly wrote her back what I thought to be the truth off the top of my head. I told her they were a decent diaper, they did their job, but they didn’t stand out. After thinking about it for a minute I realized I was wrong (make note, that doesn’t happen often.) I quickly wrote her back with a list of things I love about the diaper! I will now tell you these things:
The PUL is very high quality, it seems a bit thicker than other PUL we have used.
The way it fits is very nice, the inserts aren’t too bulky.
It comes with a regular insert, and a newborn/doubler insert.

It has a great fit, and I can see these diapers being used from birth to potty training.
My favorite feature however has to be the double gussets.  These things are amazing, and no other diaper comes close to something this great. What goes in the diaper, stays in the diaper. It’s like a castle fortress- or the opposite cause you know nothing gets out.
I got the snap closure because I am lazy and never remember to close the laundry tabs, and neither does my husband. I really like the snaps. Very sturdy. Honestly, with the Rumparooz  high quality diaper, fun colors and prints, I think I have found a new favorite diaper!
So if you are looking for a high quality, diaper that will last, go to mama’s emporium and buy one! Every order comes with great samples, and fantastic service! Right now Mama has a great raffle going on, I have already won more prizes I can’t wait to review for Mama! So make sure to grab some tickets, or a grab bag that comes with a ticket (my grab bag had a lanolin sample that I suggested I might like.)

There was no compensation provided for this review, I won the diaper and decided to write it. This article does however contain an affiliate link.
