50-Follower Giveaway: Kawaii OS Snazzy Minky pocket diaper! (CLOSED)

So here it is! My long-awaited first blog giveaway to celebrate 50+ followers!

What's up for grabs? 1 or 2 vintage Kawaii Baby One Size Snazzy Minky pocket diapers! (That was a mouthful, wasn't it?)



So what's this 1 or 2 deal, you ask? Well, I'll be giving away 1 diaper regardless of turnout, but I'll throw in a 2nd diaper (awarded to another lucky fan) if I can reach either 100 GFC followers OR 100 Facebook fans by the time the giveaway closes! So get the word out, folks! :D

APRIL 19 UPDATE - We're at 102 GFC followers so I will be giving away 2 diapers! :D :D Welcome to all my new followers and thanks to those who promoted my blog and/or this giveaway. You all ROCK! :D 

And why vintage? 'Cause you can't get these particular patterns anymore! Kawaii recently came out with an entirely new set and discontinued the old ones. So you could grab yourself a li'l piece of cloth diapering history here! ;) (On this note, should I keep at least one more in the packaging? It might be worth something one day!!)

Here is the "official" product description from the company website: 

This Super Soft Minky One Size AIO Pocket Diaper is suitable for babies from newborns to toddlers.  We recommend this diaper for parents who are new to cloth diapering.
 
Nine Layers of Fabrics

The nine layers of fabrics are designed to be highly absorbent yet still remain very breathable.  The outer shell contains two layers of waterproof Minky and one layer of high quality microfleece.  There is an additional six layers of microfiber in the two inserts.
 
Environmentally Friendly Microfiber Liner/Inserts

The Liner/Inserts (or soaker pads) are made from 100% unbleached microfiber.  The material has many tiny strands and is environmentally friendly.  It has 40x more absorbent surface than cotton and is less bulky.  They are soft and easy to clean.

We include 2 ultra soft microfiber inserts in each diaper – one for daytime and the second for nighttime or heavy wetter.

Quick mini-review: We love our Kawaii SM diapers! They've been our go-to night dipes since we started cloth diapering our DD. They certainly are ultra soft, very absorbent (particularly when stuffed with both inserts) and breathable; baby's bum always looks healthy & happy after wearing a Kawaii - even after 12 hours of overnight use! They're also quite durable; after 4 months of usage, ours are showing very little wear! Best of all, they're really affordable, currently selling at $7.99 a piece directly from the company website. (The seller also posts bulk deals on eBay; I scored mine this way!) We had some leakage issues recently when our daughter started sleeping on her side, however we basically nipped that in the bud by stuffing with a 2nd insert. They *are* quite bulky dipes, but this isn't really a big deal for night diapering or wearing around the house.

S loves her Kawaiis too!!
