Go Green Pocket Diapers Review

Go Green Pocket Diaper "The Champ"

Rating : 4 stars out of 5 stars
Price: $14.95











































Took the following directly from Go Green Pocket diaper site

About the Diaper:
  • two rows of waist snaps
  • extra row of rise snaps
  • waist tab overlap snaps
  • multi-colored waist snaps aid in sizing
  • double leg gusseting
  • two pocket openings (no need to remove inserts before washing)
  • two bamboo-microfiber blend 3-layer inserts included
  • Snaps on inserts insert and diaper together in the wash (no sorting laundry!) and allow for optional AI2 use (liner recommended if your baby is sensitive to microfiber)
  • top stitching for added durability
  • premium, glossy snaps
  • soft bamboo-blend microsuede lining never pills and looks new after washing



Okay so I liked the idea of the diaper but when I used it I did not like the fact the liner snaps in the front. I had alot of trouble with that part to where when I would pull the diaper in the front over my daughter so I could snap it, it wouldn't move and I would have to either pull really hard or lift her butt off the floor just so I could close the diaper. Which would just pull it out from her butt, so I would have to reposition it under her. The liners also don't snap together but each does have a snap so you can snap one of them into the diaper. I did try it without snapping in the liners which I liked better but I think it is pretty hard to stuff the diaper, double stuffing the liners is really tough to do. The liners are a little wider than the diaper so they don't lay flat in it. The diaper does gape in the front a little bit. It is a pretty absorbent diaper. I use it as a nighttime diaper so I use both liners. All in all its not a bad diaper. It works great for what I use it for, we haven't had any leaks during the night with this diaper so far. I haven't tested this diaper on a baby only a 17 month old. It does look like it can go pretty small though. To see size comparison of this diaper and other diapers please click here.

Coming soon

Pretty soon I will do a actual review on the diapers I have and that I am getting soon once they arrive and I can test them out. Hopefully I will be able to add a new brand of cloth diapers one at a time. I will put them under the label of Cloth Diaper Reviews.

had fun tonight

Well I had fun tonight trying to win some free stuff from It's The Cloth That Counts blog. They had a ton of giveaways tonight. Which will still go on till about midnight there time. Can't wait to see if I win anything.

Hubby is yelling at his xbox again which is normal around hear. Since he says they got paid off which I hope someday I learn how he computer on his football game got paid off. He is also trying to talk me into letting him get the rest of his sleeve tattoo finished on his forearm. I think I might just let him do it since he goes back overseas soon and he doesn't get to do what he wants there like he does here. So far his family tattoo arm as he puts it is looking really good.

Well Jasmine's new twin bedroom set should be here within the next 10 days. I hope it gets here before Matt leaves, so he can help me put it together. Also my new bedroom set should be here soon too and I really hope that gets here before Matt leaves so he can sleep in it before he leaves. Right now we have just a mattress on the floor since our platform bed broke when we tried to rearrange the room after taking the crib out of our room. Stupid berber carpet. so if I say Jasmine beat me in the head its cause my bed is on the floor and she can get on the bed so easily. Which I think she likes and its gonna be a real change when she can't climb on my bed anymore. Wonder how she is gonna take that?

Connor also got his new bunk bed mattresses since his old mattress was way to tall for his bunk bed that he got after I broke his loft bed trying to put it back together when housing moved us back in June before Matt left. Hopefully Connor's old mattress isn't too tall for Jasmine's new twin bed.

Oh ya after not having hot water since the first day it snowed here in El Paso, Tx I finally got hot water back. No thanks to the maintenance here in housing. I actually fixed the problem myself by putting the insulation thing back on the frozen pipe that was just laying on the ground. After putting it back on I had hot water within a couple of hours. Why they didn't put it back on the pipe was beyond me, cause if they would have done it I probably had hot water sooner. Than again I should have just looked at the water heater myself when the hot water went out, but I guess I got lazy with being able to call someone to come and fix the problem for me.

Well time to go put diapers in dryer since I was able to wash them today. YAY!! Now I have pretty much a full small pack of disposable diapers. Hmm I guess I can use them when we go out.

Snow in El Paso day 2

Okay so it snowed here yesterday. Which just happened to cause my pilot light in my water heater to go out, then cause my hot water pipes to freeze. Yes I have cold water that works in most of the faucets but no hot water which is just weird. The maintenance people said there is nothing for them to do. Which just sucks since I had to buy some sposies till the hot water is back, hopefully soon or I will have to find a laundry mat to clean diapers. The weather channel said its suppose to warm back up tomorrow yay which means the pipes should unfreeze. Jasmine keeps trying to pick out cloth diapers out of her drawer that are clean but I just dont want to dirty up more when I have no clue when the stinkin hot water will be back. GRR this sucks.

Plus side I ordered some Go Green Pocket Champ diapers, some ebay diapers and some Kawaii diapers. So hopefully by the end of the month I should have another 27 diapers, which will bring my stash up to 52 with only one that is too small for Jasmine since its a medium. So 51 wearable diapers, maybe I can wash diapers every other day then. Since I will actually have enough liners since some of the new diapers are coming with two liners per diapers, so every diaper will actually have a liner now. As soon as all the diapers come in I will take some pics.

I am really excited about trying the Go Green Pocket Diaper. Their Champ diaper just looks like it would be great for nighttime with the double leg gusseting. Also snaps on inserts keep insert and diaper together in the wash (no sorting laundry!) and allow for optional AI2 use (liner recommended if your baby is sensitive to microfiber) which I think is a great idea.

Snowing in El Paso


Well my hubby has been home since Friday, and I am enjoying having him home for two weeks. He has been such a big help. Jasmine had her surgery, she did great. Its been fun trying to keep cotton balls in her ears. The doctor said she was her best patient for before surgery. I did have a little trouble when she was coming to but popsicles were like magic just like her favorite milk sippy. As you can see in the picture of her when we finally got out of recovery. she was so tired that day she actually took two more naps. She also was as wild as she normally is when she wasn't sleeping. But I did have to stop her antibiotic after my husband came home because he said the rash she was getting was a allergenic reaction. Which I think was right since her rash started to go away once we stopped the medicine. Since surgery Jasmine has also been saying more word like sounds. She also says "Da" a lot and wants to show her daddy everything. Its just too cute. So I think she can hear so much better now that the fluid is out of her ears.

Its also snowing here in El Paso, TX. Its suppose to snow till tomorrow which sucks. I have already seen one car try to make it up the hill they call a road in my neighborhood and they couldn't make it. Most of El Paso is having rolling black outs. All the schools have shut down for a snow day which was a shock for me since last year when we had snow they just had a delay.
