Hello everybody. I began this blog because as I was searching around about cloth diapers, I got a little bit confused, so I said to share my experience with anyone who has questions, just like me. Everyhting started one and a half year ago...

La culotte-couche Hamac... (I love french!)


In general, I do not want to describe each diaper I get, unless it has something different.
Yesterday, I got the ultra extra special Hamac french diaper on my hands and there was no way I could wait to use it untill I tell you about it!
So, here it is more french style, after youtube...

Diaper description from the company:
HAMAC :   [ 'amak ]  n.f.   1/LITTER. Couche pour bébé, mi-jetable, mi-lavable ; une seconde peau ultra confortable, pratique, séchage rapide. 2/ TECH. Sous-vêtement pour bébé ; culotte avec une fonction de couche grâce à son Hamac technique ; fabriquée en France ; modèle breveté. 
3/ FIG. Une délicate attention pour tous les bébés.

Diaper description from ... me:
Well, this is not a diaper but a "system", since it is an outer wrap with a "place" to put the boosters. Beware that it is not a pocket diaper!
Imagine a big ... handful (could not find anyhting more figurative), open inside the wrap, where you put the soaker!



Every box (even more stylish!) has a wrap, one reusable soaker and two soakers to use once and throw away. Oh, there is also one liner! 
So, you use either soaker and you wash it or you throw it...
The wrap, if not full of poo, can be just rinsed with water, let to dry and then reuse.


Materials:
-Τhe wrap is from microfibre Meryl®, and the ... handfull is a membrane of polyurethane
-The washable soaker is from 45% organic cotton and 55% hemp. The other side is made from fleece. Produced in France.
-The throw-away soaker is made from 100% French cellulose and is biodegradable. It is chlorine-free, with no chemical gel and is produced in the European Union.

Oeko-Tex® Label 100All fabrics are according to the Oeko Tex 100 standard (this means that it is tested for a series of substances that may be harmfull, irritating, or they provoke allergies and cancer). 

(Ok, the chemist inside me just woke up! You can imagine how difficult it is for me (being really a chemist!) not to describe all the substances included in this standard. You can just check them here!)

Style in youtube?


couches bio, couche bébé, couches écologiquesIf you search in youtube about cloth-diaper-manuals, you will find many many videos...
All of them have to do with mommies (or supposed-to-be mommies!) putting the diapers on babies, teddybears etc...
One company makes the difference!
Hamac, is a french cloth diaper company and their manual is full of French style! 
Do not worry, you will understand it, no matter if you speak French or not...

P.S.: I am fully aware of what is going on in Greece these past days. 
I just needed to forget it a little bit...

Yes, finally something different!

Yesterday I got the diaper that Aimee  from Chania send me.
It is a diaper (let me check the drawings....) fitted. 
So, here is the real diaper, with all its extra soakers:
SALE fitted cloth diaper, lime and purple, fattycakes, size small SECOND
 SALE fitted cloth diaper, lime and purple, fattycakes, size small SECOND SALE fitted cloth diaper, lime and purple, fattycakes, size small SECOND


I was impressed! 
Finally something different from all the "pocket" diapers I have!
This is not the only reason I was impressed:
  • Outer layer: lime green cotton knit
  • Hidden inner layer: bamboo hemp fleece
  • Inner layer: purple cotton velour

    Soakers:
  • Snap-in bifold soaker: 1 layer cotton velour and 1 layer bamboo hemp towel terry (4 layers in total)
  • Snap-in doubler: 2 layers heavy bamboo fleece
(Have you counted the layers?)


The diaper is sewed according to the Fattycakes patron (I will come back with more info about it...) and it costs 10,50 euros.

Now the wrap (7,29 euros):
Fleece diaper soaker, size newborn, animal toss "free shipping"Aimee, is very experienced as a mom in this, because her litttle son has very sensitive skin and it got easily irritated. 


She says:
With the weather getting warmer, stock up on some fleece covers!! Fleece is great to use in warm weather because it is so breathable and these covers are just so cute worn with just a little T-shirt!!
These soakers are made to fit over a fitted cloth diaper, but can also be used over a disposable for extra protection with heavy wetters. There is an extra layer sewn in the wetzone. 
Fleece is water repellent, not waterproof. You may still get some compression wetness if the diaper underneath is soaked. Fleece can be washed with your regular laundry. 
 I add that it also dries VERY VERY quckly!


(Nevertheless I am thinking of asking her to do some from wool too...)

Aimee sewed my daughter's at her size, so speak with her and tell her exactly what you need.

Yes, we have one in Greece too...


   Today I am very happy, because, as I was searching, I discovered one mam doing cloth diapers here in Greece, in Chania!
    Aimee  is a New-Yorker who married a Greek from Chania. She has three children and she has created Angel Bean that makes great diapers, fitted for now... (i.e. with sizes) with wraps of great design!
   You can find her also on facebook and do not hesitate to email her for any question.

Να σας δείξω τις πάνες μας?

Ως "fashion victim" με ενδιαφέρει πάρα πολύ (ε, καλά.... δεν είναι και το Νο 1 κριτήριο επιλογής!) το στυλ των υφασμάτινων πανών. Σας παραθέτω αρχικά, αυτές που έχω ήδη και, προσεχώς, θα σας δείξω και άλλες, που μου έκαναν εντύπωση. (Πάαααρα πολύ μεγάλη εντύπωση... Δεν φαντάζεστε τι "κυκλοφορεί" στην αγορά!) 


Ναι λοιπόν, εγώ και η κόρη μου έχουμε πολύ κοριτσίστικα σχέδια, το παραδέχομαι. 
Αυτή που θα ήθελα πολύ να σας αφήσω να ακουμπήσετε είναι η Bittitutto. Απίθανα απαλό φλις... Χνουδωτό και τρυφερό μαζί... 
Πως σας φαίνονται?
