Tushygear On The Road

July 27th, 2008 by wisemama

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Emily of Tushygear, and sent a sample of her fantastic designs for review. Upon receiving her Tushygear On The Road diaper tote, I was amazed at how well made it is and how stylish it is for lugging around diapers and wipes when you are out and about.

Tushygear On The Road

Like many parents, when I am not using a diaper bag I have occasionally used the standard plastic bag to store my diapers and wipes, as well as using one of those vinyl changing pads in public places. Well, Tushygear is the answer to parents looking for something that helps you carry your diapers and wipes in a small tote that doubles as a super soft and snuggly diaper changing pad. It is compact enough to fit in a small bag or large purse, and it eliminates the need for those pesky plastic or ziplock bags. Sewed by hand in the USA, Tushygear On The Road diaper totes are made with a variety of colorful gender specific and gender neutral soft fabrics that are 100% cotton and completely machine washable. The website, Tushygear also features matching soft baby blankets, microfiber burp cloths, and elegant changing pad covers.

Huggies Baby Wipes

March 4th, 2008 by wisemama

After much trial and error, I have hit upon my favorite wipes to use on my babies bums, Huggies Baby Wipes. They come in several scented and unscented (Natural Care and Gentle Care Sensitive) varieties.  Specifically, I am a fan of the Lavender & Chamomile, as well as the Cucumber & Green Tea. They both just smell divine! I like these wipes because they do a great job cleaning poop or diaper rash cream with minimal wiping. Also, they are very soft and thick, which makes them gentle yet prevents them from ripping or shredding. In comparison to other wipes I have tried, it seems as though these leave the cleanest skin, there is no oily film left over after using the wipe, like I have experienced with other brands. I have also found a secondary use for these wipes - great makeup removers! I use one to get all of my makeup off my face in the evenings. Best of all, they are fantastic for getting off waterproof mascara. Plus, if you look at the price - it is so much more economical to use these as makeup removers than the wipes that are actually marketed for makeup removal.

Huggies Overnites Diapers

January 19th, 2008 by mamawise

In honor of Scrolling Saturday, we are featuring this archived post:

If it weren’t for the Huggies Overnites Diapers, I would be doing laundry loads of soaked sheets and clothes every morning. My son started potty training about four months ago, and while daytime is going very well, nighttime is an entirely different story. My son is such a heavy sleeper that he does not wake up for the bathroom or potty. The Huggies Overnites Diapers have been the only ones that have held enough liquid for him to sleep through the entire night, without waking up in a pool of wet clothes and sheets. Recently, I went without these diapers because I ran out and forgot to get more at the store.  Well, I was washing sheets every morning for 4 days before I quickly ran to the store at 11pm one night to buy these diapers.  The Huggies Overnites have to be the only diapers I have come across that actually work for heavy nighttime wetters. Every other diaper or nighttime pullup we have tried has caused either bad leaks or has caused my son to wake up crying from feeling very wet. A lot of moms who have tried these diapers, agree that these are simply the best for overnight wear.

The Huggies Overnites Diapers come in three sizes: 3(16-28 lbs), 4(22-37 lbs), and 5(27+ lbs). For more information visit Huggies Baby. Sometimes, Huggies Overnites are not available in your local retailers, but they are easily ordered on Amazon in all three sizes.

Boudreaux’s Butt Paste

November 4th, 2007 by mamawise

Credit: Boudreaux's Butt PasteBoudreaux’s Butt Paste is by far the best diaper rash cream that I have used to date. I regularly use it at night with disposable diapers as a preventative for diaper rash, and I also use it when needed if one of my children rarely happens to get a rash. The paste seems to have an immediate soothing effect, and within hours the rash is practically gone. The paste is a light brown color and has a pleasant smell. The tubes and jars of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste are both easy to use - I choose to use the tubes simply because I can get the paste out without dirtying up my hands. The cleanup is easy as well. The paste comes off very easily with a washcloth or wipe.

Boudreaux’s Butt Paste is available in 1,2, and 4 ounce tubes, as well as a 16 ounce jar. Click Here for more information about Boudreaux’s Butt Paste, as well as a free sample from the manufacturer.

Fuzzi Bunz

October 10th, 2007 by mamawise

Credit: Fuzzi BunzFor those of us who consider cloth diapering, either for long-term money saving, baby health/allergies, environmental friendliness, or simply for personal choice, Fuzzi Bunz seem to be pretty popular in the cloth diaper industry. There are so many different types of cloth diapering products, and I have tried quite a few. For me, Fuzzi Bunz have come out on top. I have used Fuzzi Bunz with both of my sons, and I have to say they certainly have stood the test of time! My second son is now 7 months old and I am still using my original stash of Fuzzi Bunz which I used with my now 26 month old. I have a set of 12, and have not had any problems with leaks, rips, fading, stains, etc. Also, no incidence of diaper rash either! And as a bonus these diapers have paid for themselves over and over again, especially since I got the chance to use them with both of my children.

Fuzzi Bunz come in many different colors, and even some patterns, which can be gender specific or neutral. Sizes range from XS(4-12 lbs) to XL(45+ lbs). Fuzzi Bunz are considered pocket diapers, where you place an insert into the diaper for absorption. There are several different types of inserts with different absorbencies for your babies specified needs. At night you can double up on the inserts for that extra added protection. Fuzzi Bunz have snap closures (no pins or velcro, yay!) on the front which can be adjusted for leg opening and waist size. The snap closures are very durable (I have never had one fail yet!) and as an added bonus, are pretty much impossible for your little one to get undone. The microfleece that touches your baby’s skin is nice and soft and has the added benefit of wicking moisture away from your baby, keeping them happy. Fuzzi Bunz are also machine washable and dryer safe.

For more information on Fuzzi Bunz, you can visit the manufacturer’s website HERE.
