I had the pleasure of reviewing their Sandy's Cloth Diaper System, which consists of:
- 1 Sandy's Cloth Diaper in Cotton Terry Fabric
- 1 Cover ( I chose the Air Flow Snap Cover)
- 1 Sandy's Absorbent Liner in Cotton Terry Fabric
Where to begin?
First, the Sandy's diaper is a fitted so it requires a cover. The Air Flow is the trimmest cover I've encountered and the material is breathable. I can put it over my face and breathe. I guess that's why they call it Air Flow! I also appreciate the snaps that prevent my baby Houdini from removing her diaper. The diaper itself is so luxuriously soft, I feel like I am wrapping my baby's bum in cotton!
Now on to fit. Sandy's diapers come in two sizes: small (8-20 lbs) and Large (20-35 lbs). My baby girl is straddling the line so I ordered the large. As you can see in the photos, her diaper and cover are a little baggy in the waist and rise, but fit perfectly around the thighs where it counts. This means I can continue to use the Sandy's diaper and Air Flow cover while she grows into them.
I didn't forget the ultimate litmus test of any cloth diaper...leakage. No problems here. This diaper is ultra absorbent. I paired the Sandy's diaper with a thirsty Absorbent Liner overnight and it held like the Hoover Dam!
The wife and husband team behind Mother-ease have been in the cloth diapering business for almost 20 years. They pour a wealth of knowledge and experience to the design of their products. All of which have been developed and tested on their four sons!

I learned that single use disposable diapers use 37% more water than home laundered because of the processes which are used when producing the disposable diapers. A great argument for those who state that cloth diapers are not as good for the environment because it takes too much water to wash them!

Initial investment is highest for home laundered cloth; however, long term savings are substantial.
