Alright the wait is over! It is time to start knocking these subscription box reviews out of the park! First in the line up is a cloth diaper subscription 'box' service from Cotton Booty! I am going to be honest here (the entire point of my blog!) If you read the About Me section you know I am a cloth diapering mommy. I am a 'fluff' snob at times with my style of diapers I prefer to use! However even those using disposable diapers can be picky about which brands they like best right?!
Batter up here we go! Cotton Booty $24.99/month
Straight from Cotton Booty :
"Cotton Booty is a monthly cloth diaper subscription service. Each month you will receive one name brand cloth diaper, sample(s) and a fun item. It’s like getting a present in your mailbox every month! We will ship you the latest styles that are top rated from moms around the world. Whether you are a newbie or a veteran cloth diaperer you are sure to discover something new!"
Cotton Booty charges $24.99/a month with free shipping! They offer monthly bundled prices too (you can see their website for those pricing!) I was very excited when I reached out to them for about reviewing one of their monthly boxes and they agreed to send us one to review for all you Goofy Goober fans!
Here is what I got in the mail! I won't lie I was expecting a 'box' so I was a bit confused that it came in a poly mailer! (This okay though as I know they are much cheaper to mail than a box would be!)
After I excitedly ripped open the bag I was surprised to find this! Cotton Booty " Goodnight Sleep Tight" Box! (Each month they use a name for the box that corresponds to what type of items are inside the box!)
Inside the "Goodnight Sleep Tight" Box for a boy was:
1 Kawaii Goodnight Heavy Wetter OS (One Size) diaper
1 Angel Dear Muslin Swaddle
1 Sample of Wash with Water, Star is Born Massage Cream
and then a piece of paper telling you about each item!
Lemme tell you thoughts on each item individually first, before I make a final overall statement on this subscription.
My FAVORITE part of this box by FAR was the Angel Dear Muslin Swaddle! Its a 47" x 47" 100% natural cotton muslin swaddle. This Goofy Goober mommy is a muslin swaddle snob! I am in love with very few brands of muslin swaddles, Angel Dear is one of my favorites! They sent me the 'boy' box for review purposes and the swaddles was blue and green owls now to me this is not very boyish in person. Do not get me wrong they are plenty cute, however I learned the gender neutral boxes received Angel Dear swaddles in Elephant Train print! To me, that says boy and this says gender neutral! However this may just be my own personal opinion on the matter! None the less the owls are still very cute!
Value: $16.00 (Amazon)
The Wash with Water A Star is Born Baby Massage Cream is a certified organic massage cream! It has Organic Aloe, Calendula, Organic Lavender, Organic Shea among many other ingredients that are natural. You will not find these in this cream: Petrochemicals, Phthalates, Sulfates, Parabens, Synthetic Coloring, Synthetic fragrances, TEA, DEA, silicons, PEGS, Dairy, Nuts, Gluten, Soy, Egg, Oat, Citrus seed extract, GMOs, Triclosan or Synthetic dyes! (phew! if I can't say a word without looking up its definition, then I personally will not buy or use it on my Goofy Goobers!)
I enjoyed trying out this sample! I had not heard of the company before, and it really left my littlest Goobers skin silky soft! It wasn't greasy or sticky like a bunch of massage creams are and it didn't upset his sensitive skin either! Two HUGE bonus points to this cream in my opinion right there! I will be buying more of this cream for sure!
So now that leaves us with the actual diaper portion of the box. The Kawaii Goodnight Heavy Wetter OS diaper is said to have extra protection against leaking because it has a featured 3 layer outer shell and comes with 2 large microfiber inserts. Its supposed to fit babies 8-36lbs. I say "supposed" because OS diapers never really fit weight limits like they say as not all babies are shaped the same, nor do they all weigh the same!
Value: $15.95 (Amazon)
Here is where my own personal opinions may hinder this objective review. I personally feel Kawaii diapers are for lack of a better word 'Chinese cheapies'. This brand is a hit or miss, you either love it or you don't. Its a pocket style diaper, so you have to stuff the inserts in the back pouch each use, nothing wrong with that! In fact, lots of people love this diaper for their overnight diaper! I agree with a few other reviewers on this particular months box in the sense that this diaper is a HUGE let down from past months (from what I've heard). I have not used this diaper, but I will hold on to it until I need a heavy wetter, nighttime type diaper as my Goofy Goober isn't sleeping long enough at a time to need something like this yet.
Overall review:
The Cotton Booty box was okay! I feel the value of what was received exceeded the monthly charge for the box! After receiving this box for review I went ahead and subscribed to the box! I look forward to seeing what each new month will bring in the mail with it! The company is semi-ly new and did not expect to grow as fast as it has, so I will ride out the bumps with them to see where this goes! It may very well lead to something fantastic! Head on over to their Facebook page too! If you've tried this box, or are going to now leave a comment with how you liked it!
Final thoughts on a scale from 1-10 (1 being do NOT buy and 10 being RUN and buy) I give this box an 8!
Pros: If you want to try new things out for cloth diapering then this is a good box to start out with! You can even sign up while your still expecting (or gift a subscription to an expectant mom) to build your/their stash up! You do get a variety of items, not a lot, but it won't ever be the same thing!
Cons: The con with a box like this is you may not always LOVE what is inside, its a risk you take with subscription boxes though. (Do not let that factor deter you from trying this box if you're interested!)
**Disclosure while I was given this box to review, my thoughts on it are entirely my own and not influenced by anyone other than me and my Goofy Goobers!**
