The New Product Showcase

Coming soon to Itsy Bitsy Bums 


What I love about this brand (in addition to its great design and amazing colors) - 
  • All of the materials, with the exception of one fabric, are sourced in the United States! And all of the diapers are sewn in the US! This is a rare, rare distinction for a diaper, as even those 'Made in the USA' are often still made of imported materials.
  • The owner, Christy, and her husband Geoff. They are very passionate about what they do, and have a keen eye for design and function. 
Smart One 2.0
Smart Bottoms's All-in-One
For those AIO purists, this is for you! Everything sewn into place. A trim fit. Amazingly soft natural fibers against the bottom. And for those looking to add a couple super-easy diapers to your stash, this is also for you! 

Smart Cover
Smart Bottom's All-in-Two
A two-size cover that can be paired with the insert of your choice - Smart Bottom's 'Smart Fold's organic cotton/hemp fleece prefold (a super-trim and absorbent insert option you can also pair with any other cover), or their 'Too Smart' insert. The Too Smart insert tucks neatly into the shell, ensuring your shell stays clean and the fit stays trim.


Smart Bottom's Wipes
These wipes are amazing! They have a nice heft to them, so you don't have to worry about any mess coming through the fabric. And priced at just $8 for five wipes! You aren't going to find a better quality wipe with that quite-smart pricetag. 


Dimpleskins Naturals Bum Bum Balm
Zinc-free and cloth diaper-safe!
Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Pure unbleached Beeswax, organic Jojoba oil, Apricot Kernel oil, Organic Calendula oil (infused in sunflower oil), Cocoabutter, Vitamin E oil (derived from pure Soybean oil), pure lavender essential oil



TotsBots Easy Fit
A one-size All-in-One diaper
Customers have been asking for this one for quite a while, and I'm thrilled to at long last be adding it to the store! I cannot decide my favorite feature of this diaper - velcro that wears like iron, a partially-detached soaker that unfurls to wash thoroughly and dry quickly or the beautiful colors and prints. Or the super-soft leg gussets, or the super-soft bamboo against babies bottom. Or.... yup, hard to say!



Organic Prefolds in three sizes - Preemie, Infant and baby

Newborn Diaper Pack
Such an easy diaper solution for those supplementing with prefolds and covers through the newborn period. this pack contains two Bummis SuperBrite newborn covers, and twelve prefolds. Grab one pack for washing every evening, or two packs to add some extra wiggle to laundry time. Also a great addition to those doing the newborn diaper rental who are looking to extend laundry into a third day!



Oh Katy Diapers
One-Size Pockets
I know what you are thinking - how is this one-size pocket different than the others out there? Oh my, YES, it is! My daughter has always been petite for her age, and her one-size pockets inevitably swallowed her right up (even now at 25lbs, and I still find myself always reaching for her sized diapers over her one-size pockets). Well this diaper changes my entire outlook on one-size pockets. This diaper fits her SO trimly! And it is so squishy and soft. And the overlapping wings mean a great fit on the thinnest of waists. I couldn't be more pleased with its design, and I'm thrilled to add this diaper to the store. (Ps. Katie - the momma behind the diaper - could not be more pleasant and lovely!)



Eco Nuts Natural Laundry Soap Nuts
Available in both nut and liquid form
(those with nut allergies - no need to worry - these 'nuts' are actually berries!)
Yup, soap nuts! If you haven't heard of them, I highly recommend checking out this brief introduction and these how-tos. They are an all-natural way to wash any laundry - diapers, clothes, whatever. They are also great for those with extremely sensitive skin. I have a good friend who uses soap nuts for her diaper laundry, so I've always been interested in adding them to the store. I eventually settled on Eco Nuts due to their high quality sorting and storing standards. They will be stocked in both nut and liquid form (the liquid is great for those with hard water, front loaders and/or those who wash in cool water), and in several sizes. 



Organic Flannelette Contour Diapers - Newborn/Small (4.5-18lbs)
This contour is so lovely, so soft, and so very practical for small babies. Simply fold down the diaper's rise to match your baby's needs, and wrap the wings around baby. No need to snappi or pin. Layer a well-fitting cover over the diaper and you are ready to go. 'No snappi or pins?' you ask. Correct - the fibers' slight loft helps the wings 'stick' to the diaper, meaning the diaper will stay in place while you secure the cover around baby. I really love the look of these diapers, and imagine that if we ever have another baby, these will be one of my go-to diapers. 

Earth Friendly Baby and Kids Wipes
(pictures not to scale - Baby wipes are larger than Kids wipes)
Looking for a flushable wipe option, wipes to store in the car or diaper bag? These wipes are 100% biodegradable, meaning they are gentler on both baby's bottom and the environment. Is your little one learning to use the potty? You might like the Kids Wipes - perfect for small hands. 

Imse Vimse Flushable Liners
Another item requested over the months, I'm pleased to finally add it to the store! These liners are especially great for those looking for a flushable liner that also can withstand a wash or two (yup! throw urine-only liners in with your diaper laundry then hang to dry, and you'll find you can typically extend their life a use or two). 


I know I've said this about so many of the new products, but I have to say it again - I'm so pleased to be adding this brand to IBB! Developed by an RN (who is also an herbalist)  Earth Mama Angel Baby offers such a wide range of products - from vegan Nipple Butter (great not only for those who choose to avoid lanolin products but also those who are allergic or sensitive to lanolin) to pregnancy and post-partum teas. And of course a cloth diaper-safe rash cream is also in the mix! 

New Colors! Steel, Lime, Neon Pink, Grape
The new colors are positively amazing! Steel is so classy I can hardly stand it. Lime and Neon Pink are brilliant pops of happy color, and Grape is so rich and expensive. These are the kind of colors that leave me wanting to never restock and simply make the newest shipment my own stash. Swear it hasn't happened yet, but one of these days.... 

Look for new colors from Chewbeads! No photos yet, but here's the skinny - both Jane and Cornelia are coming in a dark brown and dark purple. And Hudson is coming in Deep Sea Blue and Punchy Pink! 



Yes folks, it is true. Bright Star Baby is changing names to Peachy Green (due to events entirely out of her control - you can find more details here). And just in time for the release of the long-awaited and highly-anticipated All-in-Two! The same trimness and function you've come to love in your Bright Star Baby All-in-Ones is now available in an All-in-Two. 


The one-size shell features side-snap closures, a snap-down rise, and a fleece-lined inner. This fleecy-goodness will repel moisture away from the shell, and back into the snap-in bamboo soaker (also one-size). Check out a sneak-peak at the first colors and prints below! The option to preorder will go live Friday Sept 30th at 8pm central Saturday Oct 1 at 12:01am, and are expected to begin shipping Oct 10th. 



And that is not all! I'm still finalizing the final baby carrier assortment, in addition to a few other diaper and diapering accessories brands to be added. Stay-tuned through the week for more details!
