You may remember this company as Happy Nappy.?
However, they have gone through a few changes lately and are now known as Happy Baby Cheeks.
Same great company, new great name.
?What is everyone's least favorite part about cloth diapering?
The washing, right??
It can be intimidating, especially for first time users.
?When you cloth diaper, what is the first question that non-cloth diapering people ask?
"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE POOP!?"
Haha. Not only that buy:
What soap to buy? How do you dry them? Do you rinse the diapers first?
?Well, this awesome company removes all of? those issues for you.
All you have to worry about is diapering your baby.
It is pretty much fool-proof.
You receive your diapers in a drawstring wet bag.
Take your clean diapers out.
You then either place the wetbag in a pail that you have purchased, hang it on a closet door handle, or simply leave it on the floor beside the change table.
Whatever works.
(We just put the wetbag & pail in the girls room beside a laundry basket full of diapers) ?
Then just diaper your baby as you would with a disposable diaper.
Make sure to secure a cover over this diaper, either with a cover of your own, or one that you have rented from Happy Baby Cheeks.
(You can purchase Mother Ease covers, here and they will be delivered with your next diaper delivery.)
When it is time for a diaper change, you just remove the soiled diaper and place it in the wetbag.
No need to rinse, soak, or pre-wash the diaper.
You can even use the cover again, provided it is mess free!
(covers are not placed in the pail, but will be used for the remainder of your diapering service until you need a bigger size).
It seriously is that easy.
Happy Baby Cheeks now even offers awesome cloth wipes, too just inquire when you are setting up your service! One less thing to worry about, and they go right into the diaper pail alongside your dirty diapers.
Store some in a smaller wet bag in your diaper bag or purse for diapering on the go.
Your new diapers will be delivered to your door step each week in a clean, drawstring wet bag and they take the dirty ones with them to be cleaned.
?If you do run out of diapers before your week is up, (though most people do not) you can pick more up at the warehouse and "up" your delivery count for next time if you find you are using more.
?Diapers going in and out will be counted, and are kept track of, so as long as you are returning what you use, you are good to go.
If you do not USE all of your clean diapers before your week is up, you do not have to send them in just because it is delivery day. Send the dirty diapers you have used out,? you will be sent an email later that day with the amount that you remaining and instructions for the next week. Sooo how
does Happy Baby Cheeks deal with WASHING: Copy and pasted from the website:
There are five key factors involved in the cleaning of our diapers.?The first is the process where we separate the diapers from the ?poop?. This process follows with the diapers having several flushes that eliminate any soil away from the diapers. Immediately following this step the phosphate free, CFIA approved detergents are injected into the extremely hot water wash. Any service that does not use extremely hot water for this step jeopardizes the chances of bacteria remaining in the diapers. During the main washing cycle there are four key elements that come into play. The detergents (which remove the soils and keep them from re-depositing onto the diapers), timing (allowing enough time for the detergents to do their job), temperature (assuring the water is hot enough to assure all bacteria is removed from the diapers) and the mechanical action (which assists with removing the soil from the microfiber fleece). There are multiple rinse steps and high speed extracts to assure all detergents are eliminated from the diapers. ?All detergents used are environmentally friendly and safe for your baby?s skin. We PH balance test the diapers at the end of the cycles to assure the PH balance matches that of your baby. This process also assures there is no detergent residue left on our diapers. All of our diapers are washed in commercial grade laundering equipment and have computerized microprocessors to allow for consistency in our washing cycles. There is no Chlorine bleach in our washing process at any time.
When the diapers are dried each diaper is inspected to assure the washing process has 100% passed our strict protocol. Utilizing a diaper service instead of washing your diapers at home utilizes four times less water and power.
With this service, your diapers get washed in an industrial washing machines, so not only are you saving time, conserving energy and using less water but you are helping do your part to keep disposable diapers OUT of landfills and off of your baby's sensitive little bum.
Another awesome thing about Happy Baby Cheeks is that you actually end up SAVING money, too.
?You no longer have to spend time searching for coupons for disposables at big box stores or scouring online for the best deal on cloth diapers.
Even though you do pay weekly for your service, depending on your needs and how many children you have in diapers, you never have to worry about running out to the store in the middle of the night because you have run out. OR that your baby has grown out of the current size and you now have to sell off your entire cloth diaper stash to fund the next ones.
Sure you could get one-sized cloth diapers but they really are not as trim as a "perfect" sized diaper.
Bigger diapers mean buying bigger pants ;)
Though who can resist a cute little baby with a giant cloth diaper bum??
?
Happy Baby Cheeks diapers have the fit of a disposable without any of the harsh chemicals.
You can even use the newborn size if you like! Anyone that cloth diapers already knows that inner struggle, "Hmmm should I bother with newborn size or go right into small/size 1?!"
This system eliminates all of those issues.
Because you are able to cater your diapering service to your specific children's weight and size at that very moment, you are able to get a great fitting diaper at all times.

OK so now for the nitty gritty...but how do they work on MY baby!???
Positives: 1. No leaks. Not a one. Not even with the messiest of messy baby explosions.
2. LOVE the fact that the diapers are delivered RIGHT to my door step.
3. LOVE that I do not have to worry about washing them, with 3 kids and babysitting 1-3 almost two year olds, I sometimes forget I have things in the washing machine, and end up having to wash things a second or even a third time.That is not even including the time it takes to DRY everything. I know I sound like the world's laziest mom here but I know we've all been there, right???
4. They fit under clothes is PRETTY trim. I mean it still is a cloth diaper but, not as big and bulky as some of the ones in our stash.
5. The actual size and fit of the diapers - definitely go by weight. Different from, say, a Fuzzi Bunz where Baby #3 is still in a size small, in Happy Baby Cheeks she was totally a size medium. I mean, she can fit in the small, but it is quite low-rise on her, and the buttons are nearing their final snaps.
7. Husband can manage them with no instruction. *bonus*
8. Love that they are delivered in a clean wetbag every week, too!
9. Customer service is excellent. SO easy to just email in with questions and get an answer right away.
10. Easy to renew your service, or add/subtract to your exisiting order.
Negatives or Neutrals:
1. I found that I used the plain Mother Ease covers, but also missed the cuteness of some of my other diapers so also just interchanged some of my other covers. Which worked just as well, of course. :)
2. Wish that the diapers came in more colours, although I do ove the orange and yellow.
Ok. I just had aesthetic complaints, so that's not bad!!

When you step off the elevator into Kixeye’s new downtown San Francisco office, a guy in military fatigues has you sign an NDA. After you do (I didn’t), a receptionist with a lot of piercings takes your name, while The White Panda’s “Foolish Monsters” blares in the background. Kixeye has whale harpoons stapled to its office walls, bad oil paintings (see left), ceiling-to-floor drawings of fire-breathing dragons and jacked unicorns, a 3-D printer of questionable purpose and little desire to answer to anyone else. All while remaining profitable, the midcore social gaming company has quintupled its headcount over the last year to more than 450 employees. The company says it has “several” times the $19 million in capital they raised stowed away in the bank. Too expensive for acquirers and still too small and unproven for public markets, privately-held gaming companies like Kixeye are chugging along profitably and doing things their own way. “We don’t talk about exit scenarios here. The employees are not here for that,” said Brandon Barber, who is Kixeye’s chief marketing officer. “Most people are here because they love making games and that’s what they want to do. Focusing on that stuff at this point in our trajectory is super distracting.” (If you want to know what Kixeye really thinks of everyone else in the industry, watch this video.) Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, other privately-held gaming companies such as Finland’s Rovio and Supercell, the U.K.’s King and Germany’s Wooga are also growing profitable businesses. Buyers Beware That feeling is mutual on the buyers’ side too. Warner Bros said last week that it would be opening a gaming studio in San Francisco. In other words, it is choosing to build, not buy. “Every time we looked at a company that was really interesting, we found that the price tag was more money than we thought was reasonable to pay,” said Greg Ballard, who is Warner Bros. senior vice president of digital games. Similarly, EA is holding off after some big ticket deals in the last few years to buy Seattle’s PopCap for up to $1.3 billion. “With regards to a large acquisition, we’re probably OK for the time being,” said Nick Earl, who oversees most of EA’s free-to-play games as a senior vice president there. “If the right deal presents itself, we would make that deal. But we’re not actively seeking it.” He said his arm of
