Zookies Diaper Cover Review & Giveaway! 11/8

This giveaway is CLOSED.

Zookies sent me two diaper covers to review:

"Strawberry Fields" in Medium (17" rise, 15-25lbs)

and  

"Green Tambourine" in Large, (19" rise, 25-30+ lbs)

This diaper cover can be used over any prefold or fitted cloth diaper. It can also be used alone as a swim diaper. 

The inner layer of the cover is waterproof PUL (polyurethane laminate) and the outer layer is a 100% cotton print. It has a "crossover" hook & loop closure and fold over elastic to keep everything inside. Laundry tabs on the inside keep the hook and loop secure during washing and prevent snagging on other items.

They also sent me a couple cute wipes!
You should definitely check out their wipes collection! They've got some really cute sets!

Katie is right in the middle of these two sizes, (at 23 lbs,) so Zookies sent me both to review.

Both of them fit her great right now, depending on how much I'm trying to stuff into the cover!

The medium size can't hold everything I have to put in there for her nighttime diapers. She's a little super-soaker and I have to stuff that thing, so I would use the large size! But for daytime use, the medium is perfect!

 I love the prints! The Strawberry Fields one is so cute, I just wanna let her run around in nothing but her diaper, (something she'd think was pretty awesome!)

I like how the PUL is on the inside and then there's an outer, softer layer over it. The 100% cotton makes it much more...cuddly. :-)

The only thing I haven't liked so much about these covers is how long they take to line-dry. This is mostly because of the extra layer, I suppose, especially where all the gathers are around the back and leg openings. This is what I'd consider the only "con" and it's a little, teeny one. I have enough other covers to keep me going while they're drying, so it hasn't really been a problem.

The other thing I love about these covers is the velcro/aplix! It is super strong, and Katie hasn't been able to get it undone, like she can with my Thirsties covers. 

The elastic holds snug against her body and legs, but is soft, (no nasty red marks!) and we've had no troubles with blow-outs! Yay!

That's something I love about my cloth diapers...if I ever put a disposable diaper on Katie, (a more and more rare occurrence!) we're almost guaranteed to have leakage. They just can't hold it in on my kid! I know part of it is her super-soaker skills, and the other part to it must be her shape...she's so slender, I don't think the disposables hug her body snuggly enough!

Go check out Zookies shop! There are so many cute prints to choose from, and they sell more than just diaper covers!

They also currently carry bibs, cloth wipes and reusable bag sets, all at very competitive prices!

Adorable bib with chenille backing!

Handy-dandy reusable snack/sandwich bags!
