There is nothing cuter than tiny little cloth diapers. Well, that’s not true. The baby himself is definitely cuter, but I do love me some newborn cloth diapers. I got an email one day asking if I wanted to review a new newborn diaper – the Tushmate. OF COURSE I DID! It was different than any other newborn cloth diaper I had seen or used up to this point, so I was excited to check it out.

The Tushmate newborn cloth diaper is an all in one diaper.  Most of my newborn diapers are all in ones, but one thing that really stands out about this diaper is how quickly it dries. I also love that it is a really absorbent newborn diaper.  The unique design of the Tushmate allows for easy adding of extra inserts while still keeping it topped with stay dry fabric.   Adding the additional microfiber insert that comes with the diaper has made it possible for us to use this diaper at night.

If you are wondering why there is talk of inserts on an all in one diaper, it’s because this is better than an all in one.  The stay dry liner has an easy snap opening that allows you to pull the liner back, add the insert{s}, then snap it back together.  At the snap end of the liner, there is a stay dry flap that helps to keep the inserts in place.  When the diaper is soiled, unsnap the inside and toss it in the wet bag until wash day.  When you wash, the microfiber insert will agitate out, as well as the partially sewn in hemp/organic cotton soaker.  This is also why it is such a fast drying diaper.

The outside of the diaper is made from a TPU laminated shell.  With adjustable rise snaps on the front of the diaper, your baby can wear it from approximately 5-14 pounds.  I love this.  Babies don’t usually wear newborn diapers for that long, so justifying the expense can be tricky.  With a diaper that will last up to 14 pounds, you can get a lot more use out of it.  At approximately 12 pounds, many of our newborn diapers are too small or he has outgrown the absorbency.  With the Tushmate, that is not the case.  This diaper still fits him wonderfully and holds up if he pees a ton.

The velcro {hook and loop} that you find on this diaper is very soft.  I like that it isn’t scratchy so I don’t have to worry about it rubbing on him and irritating his gentle skin.  Don’t just take my word for it though, visit Tushmate on Facebook to see what some of my friends are saying.  There are also laundry tabs to protect from laundry chains.  The problem I have found with this is that the laundry tabs shift just a little every single time I wash it.   It still works great, so this isn’t affecting anything.  {And I know a few other bloggers have also reviewed this diaper and the hook and loop never did this for them}.

The Tushmate newborn AIO is available in 4 gender neutral colors.  I would love to see them come out with even more colors because I really love this diaper.  I love how gentle the elastic is against his skin.  I know I get a great fit every time without feeling like I’m hurting his legs or back.  This is also such a trim fitting diaper that getting those cute newborn outfits over it isn’t a problem.  Here are a few pictures of Henry in his Tushmate cloth diaper as he grows.

If you are looking to start or build a newborn cloth diaper stash, I definitely recommend the Tushmate newborn AIO.  This is absolutely one of our favorite newborn cloth diapers and is even daddy approved.  You will keep this diaper out past the newborn stage.  Most of the newborn diapers we have stop fitting around this point.  In this diaper, we still have room to grow.
