It must be well know by now that I have an addiction to cloth diapers and the extreme cuteness. When I was pregnant with Ladybug I came across a company called rump-a-rooz and back then it was still a smaller business in which I got to know the owner (Julie) through myspace and her diaper group on there. I coveted after her diapers they were insanely cute and at that time she was still making custom orders. I was lucky enough to have some of the first degins and my very own sock monkey rump-a-rooz, but I was not in love so much with the smaller fit of the one size diaper I was actually upset because they were such cute diapers they just ran small. I sold my old style rump-a-rooz to better homes because they got lost in rotation at my house, though for old times sake I wish I could have kept that custom sock monkey!
*insert me kicking self*
I have since then switched our entire stash over to mainly covers and inserts, mostly flip system with stay dry inserts but I do have pre-folds and fitteds in the mix. So when Rump-a-rooz came out witht the newly redesigned line of diapers I fell in love with all the new prints and drooled over them often but never buying because I was still afraid of the rise issue. I heard even the new G2 diapers ran on the smaller end, plus I wasn't into pockets so much anymore. I saved my money.
But then I heard last week they had covers....one size diaper covers with the same beyond cute prints as the pockets. I think my heart stopped for a second or two. I knew what I had to do like all good addicts I stalked my dealers website and facebook page waiting for her to stock and then buy!!! Ha Ha yes it is that bad of a habit trust me! I saw on a facebook page the worry of the rise being the same and running small and I did worry about this until my "dealer" took a picture comparing them to a flip and they seemed more roomy and they had a 4 snap rise vs the flip's 3 snap rise...that was all I needed I bought one.
And has since told my husband and has agreed to try and sell two flip covers because for one baby in diapers we have too many....sooo any takers?
I wanted to take the time and post some pictures I took to compare the rise/size/fit of the rump-a-rooz one size cover VS a flip one size cover. I choose Flip because most anybody who does covers has a flip cover so I think it's a universal standard! Here we go picture overload!

Ya cute right? Loved this print but it was hard to pick just one. Read on to see that I didn't!

Like the pockets the covers have the inner gussets. Thumbs up!!!

This is the inside of the cover, this is the back to where the label is sewn on. Don't worry it won't rub on baby the insert goes on top of this part.

The inside looking at the snaps. Again don't worry an insert covers this so nothing touches baby. Now these snaps I can tell you are heavy duty work-horse snaps!
Here we go with the comparison pictures! |

My lovely captions should help here. The RaR smallest setting is smaller than the flip. No mind you this is a newer flip too so the elastic is not worn or stretched much, however the RaR is brand new and not stretched at all.

On the flip this is the middle setting but on the RaR this is only the second setting.
|

So that's all the size settings for the flip and still the RaR cover has one more to go!
yes those hands you see are Ladybug!
 And here we are with both covers on large settings!
So I have a few things to note that you cannot tell from just pictures 1.) the RaR cover is very stretchy but not a flimsy stretch no no the elastic inside there is some good heavy duty made for the long-haul elastic! I am sure it will stretch with more use (pictured was before we had tried it on). I am very sure there will be zero leaking with this cover the elastic will hold whatever my son can muster up inside. 2.) the snaps are also some very awesome high quality snaps and made for some long usage. I have some diapers in the stash that he snaps are ehhh-ok easily to unsnap and snap but not these...Mister will NOT be taking this cover off all by himself any time soon. Not unless he suddenly becomes muscle man! 3.) this cover is not made of the traditional PUL rather it's made from TPU which means basically that the diaper is more enviromentally friendly and will biodegrade when composted in a shorter amoutn of time than the other PUL diapers...wait I'm not sure if PUL biodegrades..oh well thats my take! So let's get some action shots. Mister is 17 months now, 23lbs, somewhere around 30 or so inches if I can remember right.

freshly put on! Mister is on the second setting so he has two setting more :-)
So I know I just helped you make up your mind and now you are seriously going to go buy every single print there is, right?! I can also not so happily report that the cover does contain a very large, very gross mess as Mister promptly felt the urge to try it out. He must have known mommy was planning on writing a blog post about it, see he knows he saw the camera out and me staging pictures ha ha! So remember how i said it was so hard to pick just one print for a cover and that i really didn't? well I didn't I bought Ladybug doll diapers in cute RaR prints too! Sorry I know you were thinking give-a-way but my blog just isn't popular enough for something like that...maybe over time who knows. Anyway look how cute these doll diapers are, and now she might stop stealing from the diaper pile every day!

awesome! I am a HUGE RaR fan. I own one of each color/print actually. And have been wondering about te covers. I've put one or two in my cart a few times too only to change my mind. But awesome blog mama!
ReplyDeleteYou are the first blog post I've seen reviewing these covers! I googled for it! :) I've been trying to decide what is the one (or two) new covers I can buy since really, we have lot sand lots and lots of diapers... and so I am thankful you posted this! No one else had photos of the diaper cover on the inside. I am going to get the Root Beer color though, I think.
