When I was offered a diaper to try made only miles from where I grew up, I jumped at it. The Smart Bottoms Smart One 3.0 arrived in the mail and I couldn't wait to put it on…my son of course! The instructions on the packaging of the diaper said it should be washed several times before use. I washed it once. I couldn't wait to use it. I found it to be very absorbent even after that one wash. No leaks.
This is a one size (8-35lbs), made in the USA, All-in-one diaper. This diaper has an inside made of 100% organic cotton, and an outer made of PUL. The organic cotton makes for a very trim diaper. The entire diaper inside is lined with the organic cotton. This helps the diaper lie closer to the skin and keeps red marks away.
This diaper is very similar to the bumGenius old elemental styling. The inside of this diaper is not attached though, and makes for a much faster drying. It dried in one cycle. I loved that I could take this right out of the dryer and use it right away again. I HATE removing some diapers and then having to turn the dryer back on.
The back of the diaper features very tight elastic. I was slightly nervous about this at first… it is REALLY tight. I was pleasantly surprised when I removed the diaper a couple hours later that it did not leave any marks on my son’s back. The Smart One 3.0 offers a very generous rise. This is a perfect diaper for a taller child. Which convinces me that this really will be a one size diaper, a diaper I can truly use from birth to potty training.
Pros-
Price. I love that this is a one size, all in one, and organic. All for 23 dollars? Amazing.
Drying time. One cycle in the dryer!
Fit. Very nice trim fit, even on a chunky baby.
Absorbency. Worked well for us even at naps.
Cons-
No hook and loop option. I have a very wiggly 15 month old. I much prefer hook and loop right now.
Over all I would rate this diaper at 4 out of 5.

Do you worry about the PUL in the dryer?
ReplyDeletePlease carry these, i've been wanting to try them.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these diapers. Another pro for me is that they are made in the U.S.A.
ReplyDeleteI have two Smart Bottoms, but I am still in newborn size for my little peanut baby girl. I would definitely be interested in purchasing more and would love it if Kissed By the Moon would carry them :) Love that they are organic and Made in the USA! Although I haven't actually used them, I can tell thy would be very comfy for my baby and the dry time is faster than other AIOs!
ReplyDeleteI have two of these also. I like them, but I too couldn't wait eight washes so used them after one wash. They both leaked. They leaked until they had been washed at least eight times and then they stopped leaking. They are trimmer then bumgenius which is nice. I love that they are organic. They have done fine in the dryer so far. They seem like they might need extenders around the waist as my child gets bigger but I could be wrong. My daughter is 4 months old.
