Knickernappies One Size Pocket Diaper

I have decided to do a descriptive post on each product that I sell in my store. I thought this would be helpful to those of you that live outside the state of Utah and are unable to actually meet with me in person in order to discuss options on which brand of diaper is best for you, your child, and your lifestyle. And so I begin. I am going to be posting about a new brand weekly so if you check this blog weekly you should be able to read about each brand of diaper and get some details and insight on each.

Sit back, relax, & enjoy.

*If you have any questions about any of the products I am writing about, please feel free to leave a comment with your e-mail address and I will do my best to answer your question.*



KNICKERNAPPIES ONE SIZE POCKET DIAPER

This wonderful diaper is a One Size Diaper meaning it will fit your child from approximately 8lbs-40lbs.
Same thing said in another way: It will fit your child approximately from birth to potty training.
That is great news!
This means you will only need one set of diapers for your child throughout their entire potting training years. And if you treat this diaper well you should be able to use if for another child as well.
Two kids for the price of one, can't beat that.

This diaper is also a pocket diaper, meaning that the diaper has a pocket.
The reason for the pocket is to stuff an insert inside the diaper.
The insert is what absorbs, so you don't want to leave this out.



Included with this diaper:
  • One diaper (the actual green diaper pictured above
  • One small insert
  • One large insert

Knickernappies
is owned and operated by the Hicks family and based in Springfield, Oregon. Heather & Shannon both work from home managing the business while caring for their daughter Camille.

Knickernappies One Size Pocket Diaper comes with two types of inserts.

The First.
Your standard Microfiber insert.
This is the insert that is included with most brands of diapers.
It is a great insert.


The Second and my personal favorite of the two.
The LoopyDo insert.
This insert is made of both hemp and microfiber making for a very absorbent team.
It is sewn in a loop fashion which creates a super fast drying time for something containing hemp.
And best of all it is pre-washed so it can be used right away.
What I LOVE about Knickernappies One Size Pocket Diapers!
  • I love snaps
  • Their snaps are very simple
  • They are pretty slim for a one size diaper
  • They absorb wonderfully (especially the with LoopyDo inserts)
  • They wash great!
  • They are super soft
  • They come in so many fun colors

Knickernappies Pricing:

Single Knickernappies One Size Pocket Diaper with Microfiber Inserts: $19.95
  • 6 pack $116.70
  • 9 pack $175.05
  • 12 pack $227.40
Single Knickernappies One Size Pocket Diaper with LoopyDo Inserts: $24.95
  • 6 pack $146.70
  • 9 pack $220.05
  • 12 pack $287.40

I highly recommend these diapers.
Live near the Salt Lake City, UT area and want to see them in person?

AND THE WINNERS ARE....

Deb & Jes!!!
(I will be sending the two of you an e-mail shortly)


Jes said...

My son (2nd child) is also due in May :)

We did disposables with out daughter (though I wanted to do cloth!! -husband wasn't a fan of the idea yet and refused!) but I won this time and we are getting ready to start cloth with this new baby! :)

We are also able to have a garden this year, have a place to line dry our clothes, and have also down-sized to just one vehicle as well! Nothing too special or different than anyone else's answers but I'm quite excited! *wink


Deb said...

Oh oh pick me, pick me!!
To better the earth, June and I walk to the grocery store, the library, the park, and anywhere else that is in walking distance often so I don't have to drive every time. We also recycle just about everything including all those baby food containers we go through.


Thanks for all you guys do to help out our beautiful planet.

Also a big thank you to everyone else that left a comment.
We all appreciate you taking care of our earth as well.


Don't feel too discouraged if you didn't win.
There will more give away's to come!

Earth Day Give Away!

In celebration of upcoming Earth Day on April 22nd I thought it only appropriate that we provide you with our very first Uncommon Bottom Give Away!

That is right.
Two of you lucky readers will be the recipient of 1 FREE one size reusable diaper.

All you have to do: You need to leave a comment on this blog or on our Facebook page sharing one way you plan to help out the earth this year, you also need to include your e-mail address so I can get in touch with you if you win. If you do not leave your e-mail address you are not eligible to win. Helping out the earth can include but is not limited to; switching to reusable diapers, switching to reusable wipes, planting your own vegetable garden, running your dishwasher less, riding a bike or public transit instead of using your car, etc. It doesn't matter if it seems as large as buying an electric car or as small as switching out one household light bulb,
it all makes a difference.


How am I helping out the earth this year?
I just bought a clothes line and have started hang drying not only my diapers but also clothing. I also am in the process of switching out all my non-green cleaning products for environmentally (and child) safe cleaners.

Deadline.
You have until Earth Day April 22nd at 10:00pm to leave a comment. I will randomly be picking 1 winner off Facebook and 1 winner off Some Uncommon Blogging. You are welcome to enter a comment on each page to better your chances.
But please only enter 1 comment on each page.

I will announce the winner on April 23rd on Some Uncommon Blogging and on Facebook.

GOOD LUCK.
HAPPY BABY, HAPPY WORLD

Spring...

Here is SLC Spring is always crazy. It is warm and sunny one day, everyone is out taking walks, playing at the park, riding bikes....then....the next day there is 7 inches of snow covering the ground and we are living in a winter wonderland. People hurry up to the ski slopes, others snow shoe, snowmen appear on lawns. I love both seasons but am ready for a more traditional spring to begin, meaning rain, rather than snow.

I love this new image that bummis just released. It really got me excited and in the mood for spring so I just thought that I needed to share it with all of you. It also helps me to realize what a big contribution reusable diapers make to our planet. I think we are all greatly affected by the beauty of our planet during the spring as flowers bloom, plants turn from brown to green, and the earth comes alive with insects, birds, & beauty.

In celebration of spring and the opening of our business we are going to be announcing in the near future a couple of contests to win some great things. Make sure you are checking either our blog or facebook page regularly in order to participate and win big.

As always,
HAPPY BABY, HAPPY WORLD, HAPPY DAY
