Charlie Banana Review and Giveaway

I am in LOVE! Charlie Banana is a new cloth diaper company based in Hong Kong. They specialize in pocket diapers in the one size or sized form. They only come in snaps. They have microfiber inserts and you can also purchase disposable inserts for times that call for them.

I received ^^^THIS^^^ package of Charlie Banana products.

2 of their 2 in 1 one size diapers (one periwinkle, one white) 4 inserts total, 2 disposable inserts, 3 single wipes. 3 double sided wipes, and a tote bag.



White: Biggest setting Periwinkle: Smallest setting

The one size diaper has waist and hip snaps and you adjust the rise by changing the elastic setting in the legs. I like that there is only one thing to adjust on each leg unlike some other brands with the elastic system.

  The pocket opening is at the front on the inside so the insert that goes in is completely covered up and nothing sticks out of the diaper when you put it on baby. The adjustable elastic is also hidden by the front pocket so it wont be against baby's skin when the diaper is on. I do find the front opening a little harder to get the insert out than other back opening diapers. But its nice knowing I don't need to tuck anything into the diaper after I have put it on. Also, knowing none of the microfiber is touching her skin is a comfort.

 The diaper is so incredibly soft inside. I was amazed at the softness even after washing several times. My other diapers do not compare to the softness the Charlie Bananas have retained. I haven't had any staining on the insert or the lining. I usually use a flush able liner, but it never fails the time I forget it, Sweet Thing does her business that time. The solids (or not so solid sometimes) seem to come off very easily.

You can kind of see how thick the waist is. it is much thicker than the rest of my diapers, it's great, we have not had any red marks with our Charlie Bananas. This is one feature that I absolutely love about this diaper, and it doesn't create any bulk.

This diaper is one of the trimmest we own, which for me, is a huge selling point. We need something to fit nicely under regular clothes. It's cold here and as much as I would love her to be able to wear just a diaper and a t-shirt all day, it's just not possible.

I was so excited for this colour. Now we have a diaper to match our vine babylegs!

It fits perfectly, there are snaps for the waist and thigh individually. Using the snaps and the elastic inside, you can create a truly custom fit for any baby. 

This one we have stuffed with the disposable insert. It's extremely thin this way. Perfect for when it's 'necessary' for it to be disposable.

To use the disposable insert, lay flat inside diaper and tuck the end under the front flap. Easy peasy!

Overall this is a fabulous diaper, it is one I reach for when I want to put jeans on my daughter, or when I just want the best fit and a cute butt! ;) They absorb great, wash great. Just an awesome diaper I am truly glad we have found.

Charlie Banana also carries a bunch of other things, including wipes, tote bags, wet bags, change pads, mattress pads. They also having training pants and swim diapers, leg warmers. They have mama cloth and nursing pads too.
