AMP One Size Duo Review & Giveaway

AMP One Size Duo Pocket Diaper
The past few months have been a complete whirlwind of activity. Right now, we’re in the midst of sleep training, which is tough on the best of days!  This makes having a reliable brand of cloth diapers crucial. As baby’s learning to sleep for longer periods during the night, I don’t want a leaky diaper to interrupt his sound sleep!  So, I was very happy when Annie from AMP Diapers sent me an AMP One Size Duo™ pocket diaper and two absorbent inserts (bamboo and hemp) to try.  Up to this point, I had been experimenting with different brands of diapers and various types of inserts, trying to find something to keep baby consistently leak-free for the increasingly long stretches of sleep. So, I was very excited to try out the One Size Duo.
AMP 2-layer hemp insert
First of all, I love the quality of this diaper. The shell is smooth PUL (polyurethane laminate) with an ultrasoft stay-dry fleece lining that has an pocket to accommodate an insert (or multiple inserts). I love how roomy the One Size Duo’s pocket is – it can accommodate multiple inserts or boosters easily, making it a good choice for heavy wetters. We were lucky enough to be sent two inserts to try – hemp and bamboo. At night, I use both inserts together for maximum absorbency and my little guy stays leak-free and happy. 
The One Size Duo is not only a pocket diaper – it can be used like an All-in-two (AI2) as well. Instead of placing the absorbent insert into the pocket, I simply place it on top of the fleece and, upon the next changing, if the fleece isn’t soiled, I just replace the insert and reuse the diaper. There’s nothing like a product that does double-duty (I like the idea of less laundry, too!).
One Size Duo in Green
My little guy is very big for his age and this diaper fits him wonderfully.  The elastic is very gentle on his chubby legs and waist, yet strong enough to prevent leaks. The snap placement on the One Size Duo allows for three rise settings, and multiple waist and leg settings, so it’s easy to achieve the perfect fit. The diaper we tested was a gorgeous shade of green (at left), but if green’s not your thing, there’s a colour for everyone – in fact, there are 30 to choose from! 
I’m glad that baby is on his way to sleeping through the night, and with the AMP One Size Duo, I think I’ve finally found my nighttime diapering solution!

    My favourite colour is cotton candy pink and it's one I would never be able to purchase as my husband hates pink and doesn't like it when I purchase pink stuff for our daughter.
