Glow Bug Cloth Diaper Review!

Glow Bug Cloth Diapers

Never heard of them?

Well... Let me tell you a little bit about them!

Glow Bugs are based out of Barrie Ontario! Yep, thats right! A Canadian by mum company!! The diapers are made in China, snaped and shipped out of Barrie. Two mums/friends finding the diaper they were searching for didnt exist decided to make it themselves! And thus, Glow Bug cloth was born!

Now, about the diaper! They are one of my FAV pocket diapers! Yep.. They are POCKETS.. And I only have two favs so you know they must be good! :D

Things I love....

• OS... Yep, one size.
• The rise snaps. There are four sets of rise snaps.. Which makes them fit longer, better and really gets you more bang for your buck!
• Waist snaps. Double row of waist snaps. While I dont like them as much as I like hip snaps they do a pretty good job of keeping everything in its place. My little guy is 13 months old (only 17lbs) but he is only on the second set of waist snaps... Again, bigger bang for your buck.
• Prints. They are adorable and DIFFERENT! When I am looking to add things to my big stash.. I am looking for something I dont have.. And Glow Bug offers me this!
• Double Flap. This is my FAV thing about the Glow Bug design.. I wasnt sure about it at first but I beyond love it! Let me tell you why..... :D So if my DS has a nasty poop.. I can take the insert of out of my diaper at the front.. If my son is saturated in pee, I can take the insert out of the back.. When I pop my insert in through the back I can pull it through the front and easily fold over the front then tuck everything in.. I LOVE IT!
• Customer Service. I have only ever dealt with Sarah.. But she is WONDERFUL! I had a slight problem with one and it was taken care of immediately! No muss no fuss! She was lovely.. Infact.. Anything Ive heard from anyone who has had dealings with them is always 110% positive!

Things I don't love...

• The micro insert. Now, nothing against Glow Bugs insert itself.. I just dont like, nor do I use, microfibre. Unfortunately they do not offer any other insert choices.
• You must by 12. Again, unfortunately there is only the option of buying a set of twelve with Glow Bugs.. You can not buy them individually.
• Snap in insert. I am not someone who appreciates a snap in insert.. But snapping in the front really doesnt make much sense to me.... Most people I know fold over at the front.. And what happens if the insert is too long.. Where you you fold it over? At the back? Hmmmm...

Cost: 12 cute diapers for $150.00!

Overall I give this diaper a 10/10!

NOTE: Keep an eye out for the new Glow Bug prints coming this summer!

What others think!

In short ... They are cute love the patterns, good price if you want to by a package of diapers. I just don't like them for bigger babies or big toddlers though I have that problem with most pocket dipes these days ... Definitely a good buy for most parents..

Christine (Belleville, ON)
I think the prints are adorable!! But starting to wonder are they really worth the drama? The insert is alright for my LO but lasts about 40mins with my 2.5yo but i have yet to find a mf insert that does any better. They fit my 2.5yo well but he's 27lbs and 3'1"...

Things I don't like-
-Liner is pretty wet feeling even if the inserts isn't soaked.
-wings flop BOO (no hip snaps only double row snaps)
-pocket is pretty big/stretchy I can for extra fluff in... But then can't get a good "seal" around the legs cause the PUL fabric part isn't big enough to cover it.
-the covers take FOREVER to air dry and since I don't put covers in the dry this would be a huge p.i.t.a if they were 100% of my stash.
-the fold in pocket part at the back doesn't work to well I find it comes untucked and wrinkles/bunches up
-about the company itself I HATE that they don't sell diapes individually because yes I want 4 prints but not the other 8 and if I wanna share with friends we arent Gunna get all the prints we want cause we gatta be fair :P

Things I do like
-4 rise options/sizes
-double gussets hold the poop in well for my breastfed LO
-patterns of course are adorable and very attractive to a fluff addict like myself
-the snap in insert is kinda nice though I don't have a prob with inserts falling out so I dont REALLY see the point maybe when LO is older I dunno lol

This is my first review ever lol I'm sure I sound way to picky but you asked so you got it :P

Brae (Orillia, ON)What can I say! I LOVE them! For me cloth diapering quickly became an obsession with prints and glowbugs do not dissappoint! They have 12 cute designs with limited edition prints being released (first one is almost sold out with a second on the horizon) AND 12 new prints being released this summer! Top that off with a diaper that works really well for us- keeps the 'poo-splosions' in the diaper, we have never had a leak (thanks to double gussets), we received 24 inserts that snap in and a wet bag to tote it all around in!
