Archive for the ‘FuzziBunz In the News’ CategoryAbout.com Reviews FuzziBunz Cloth DiapersThursday, November 3rd, 2011
About.com says that there is a reason why FuzziBunz cloth diapers are the best selling diaper year after year! Click here or read more below: FuzziBunz is one of the best selling cloth diapers year after year. There’s a reason for that. The drawbacks to using this brand over its competitors are minimal, which make it a popular choice for cloth diapering parents.
Pros of FuzziBunz One Size Diapers
Cons of FuzziBunz One Size Pocket Diapers
FuzziBunz Diaper InsertsEach diaper comes with two microterry inserts. Both inserts are the same size. The inserts are thick. When you double up on the inserts for bedtime or to accommodate heavy wetters, your baby’s bum will look like a ball of fabric. Many of my baby’s clothes that are big on him in other cloth diapers, are too small around his hips with two inserts inside the FuzziBunz One Size Pocket Diaper. The snaps in his pajamas keep popping when both inserts are used. FuzziBunz One Size Pocket DiapersThe FuzziBunz One Size Pocket Diapers are bulkier than some of the other cloth diapers on the market. FuzziBunz says that’s one problem its new One Size Elite diaper corrects.Even with the extra padding, FuzziBunz is one of the favorites in my house. The microfleece is thick and soft. The colors are bright. The diaper is well constructed. While a lot of other cloth diapers only have two snaps on each side to keep the wings secure, FuzziBunz has three per side. I own a lot of cloth diapers with two snaps to hold one wing in place. The third extra snap on the FuzziBunz diapers does make a difference. The diaper feels more secure and more like a custom fit with this extra snap. Unlike most other one size diapers, FuzziBunz does not have snaps you adjust to raise or lower the length of the diaper. Instead, FuzziBunz’s size is adjusted through the elastic in the legs. The buttons and buttonholes you’ll find in your children’s pants to adjust the waist is pretty much the same system FuzziBunz uses. You also get a replacement elastic just in case the heavy use you’ll be getting out of this diaper over the years takes its toll on the elastic band. If you love cute prints, you’ll probably be disappointed that FuzziBunz only come in solid colors. But this diaper’s vibrant colors and durability make it a must-try for cloth diapering parents. FuzziBunz Diapers Wash and CareI wash my FuzziBunz Diapers daily. Out of all of the cloth diaper brands I own, FuzziBunz is one of the fastest to dry. This gets them out of the wash and back on my baby quickly.The company’s official instructions ask you to run a cold rinse or soak cycle without any detergent. Your second step is to add detergent and run the diaper in a hot cycle. Follow that with a cold rinse if the diapers are especially dirty. Tumble dry on low or line dry. My FuzziBunz diapers are dried on the permanent press cycle with the dryer temperature on low. I’ve never had a single diaper leak. Tips for Buying FuzziBunz Diapers

FuzziBunz Listed Among Inc. 5000 ListWednesday, August 24th, 2011
We asked FuzziBunz founder, Tereson Dupuy, how she felt about this recognition. She says, “I’m proud to see FuzziBunz flourish. What started with $10 more than 11 years ago has turned into a dream come true. I am honored by Inc’s recognition of our small company and it inspires me to continue my journey to make cloth diapering mainstream.” Tereson Dupuy and FuzziBunz Featured on DailyMomtra.comThursday, July 7th, 2011
Tereson Dupuy inventor of FuzziBunz cloth diapers and the “Light it Up Blue” cloth diaper to support families impacted by Autism are featured on DailyMomtra.com Click here or read below for the full Q&A with Tereson! As an avid user of FuzziBunz cloth diapers on my little guy Brody, I was absolutely thrilled when I was recently given the opportunity to interview Tereson Dupuy, the brilliant mind that created FuzziBunz diapers in 1999. I was even more excited when I learned that FuzziBunz is currently selling a “Light it Up Blue” diaper with $1 of every purchase being donated to Autism Speaks. (Tereson’s son Eden, who was the inspiration behind her creation, is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.) Check out my Q&A session with the “mother of the modern cloth diaper” below, and check out www.fuzzibunz.com to pick up quality cloth diapers and help an amazing cause at the same time. Katie: As the mother of a child with autism who has worn FuzziBunz for the past several years, I must thank you for making a truly outstanding product. Besides being the highest quality cloth diaper around, I noticed also as my son grew older that FuzziBunz seem to come in larger sizes than most CDs on the market. Is this something that you have done with children with disabilities/special needs in mind? Have you given any consideration to producing even larger sized FuzziBunz in the future specifically for children whose needs may require them to stay in diapers longer than others? Tereson: We actually do have larger sizes in XL and XXL that we make in house in our warehouse in Louisiana. We would certainly given the demand for them make them in larger quantities as this is a need for special needs children. So we do have the product and would be happy to make more and get them into the hands of the people that can reach parents with special needs children. Katie: Eczema, skin conditions, allergies and food allergies seem to go hand-in-hand with asperger’s & autism. Besides using Fuzzibunz for your son Eden, have there been other changes that you have made for him, dietary or otherwise that you have seen good results from? Tereson: Allergies have always been an issue and we just tackle those as they come about. But what I have found most helpful is to just be in tuned to his sensativities with food and provide the types of foods that appeal to him and not force him to eat things that I know make him uncomfortable. Many adjustments have to be made such as not taking him to really crowded places, noisy places etc and heaven forbid the ZOO with all of those smells! Katie: Chemicals in typical disposable diapers have actually been linked in past reports as a contributing factor to autism, among a myriad of other things such as vaccines, environment, and genetics. With a recent study revealing that it is now estimated that 1 in 30 children fall somewhere on the autism spectrum, do you have any thoughts or opinions on this issue that you would like to share? Tereson: I don’t know how I feel about the environmental factors that cause Autism, Aspergers I know runs in families so it is genetic but what I can only hope for is a cure or at best a better mode of treatment for families that are affected by Autism spectrum disorders. Katie: Fuzzibunz seemed to erase the sensory discomforts that my son experienced with typical disposable diapers. What made you choose the materials that you did when creating FuzziBunz? Was it trial and error or did you have a specific formula in mind? Tereson: I made the connection that chemicals were the cause of the rash, as well as the wet feeling of cotton next to his skin in cloth diapers so I knew I needed something next to his skin that was both chemical free and soft and dry. Polar fleece was the answer! I tried it, it worked, happy baby, rash free! Katie: Your idea to collaborate with Autism Speaks is a wonderful one. Do you have any future plans to link up with any other autism awareness groups for fundraising or just general awareness? Tereson: I would love to as the opportunity arrises – this is a cause very close to my heart and so much more is needed to raise awareness. We have many walks and runs to benefit Autism awareness in our area and FuzziBunz plans to be a sponsor for those events locally. Katie: Finally, what words of wisdom or advice would you share with other families just receiving an autism or asperger’s diagnosis for their child? Tereson: Know that you have been given a very special gift, albeit challenging, but education and understanding the issue is so important in helping your child grow and thrive in a world that is often times foreign and uncomfortable to them. Knowledge, love and a lot of patience is definitely the key to raising a child effected with an Autism spectrum disorder. Katie: Thank you once more for taking the time to speak with us. Your product is making a wonderful difference in so many children’s lives and your decision to partner up to raise funds for Autism Speaks is just the cherry on top! Tereson: THANK YOU! Pregnancy & Newborn Features FuzziBunz in April 2011 IssueMonday, March 28th, 2011We are proud to be featured in the April 2011 issue of Pregnancy & Newborn magazine as a one-size cloth diaper! People Magazine: Go Green with FuzziBunz® Diapers and Rockin’ Green SoapSaturday, January 22nd, 2011
You’ve probably noticed we’ve been raving a lot about cloth diapers lately. And why wouldn’t we? They’re one of the simplest ways to go green with baby. FuzziBunz is another cloth diaper collection that we love to pieces. And we’re not the only ones. Matthew McConaughey, Tori Spelling and Angela Bassett are all fans. And who can blame them? These diapers are super cute and a breeze to use. Known as the company that invented the modern cloth diaper, FuzziBunz has been trusted to keep little bums dry since 1999. And with their new One-Size option, they’re making it even easier — and more affordable — for parents to use cloth. The One-Size style features easy-to-adjust elastic — similar to maternity waistbands — that allows you to customize the waist and thigh openings to suit your growing baby (they fit from newborn up to 35 pounds). Even better? They’re not as bulky as other one-size versions.
The next question, of course, is how to care for cloth diapers? Well, we had the chance to try Rockin’ Green laundry detergent and we’re loving it. Targeted specifically at cloth diapering families, this detergent doesn’t leave any residue so there’s no build-up, which eventually affects absorbency and can cause rashes. Available in yummy natural scents including Smashing Watermelons and Mighty Mighty Marshmallow, Rockin’ Green also works great for the rest of your laundry too. There’s also an unscented option too, aptly called Bare Naked Babies. And depending on where you live, you can also buy formulas for hard, regular and soft water to increase the effectiveness.
