An amazing fitted diaper with a fabulous reputation! We are so thrilled to stock Twinkie Tush diapers, which are made in our very own hometown - Ithaca, NY!
Why are they so amazing? First, they are so VERY absorbent! Here's what's built into each one:
Outer diaper body: The outer print fabric is lined with one layer of cotton velour, with a layer of hydrophobic fleece sandwiched between. Have you ever felt velour fabric? It is sooo luxurious feeling and plush and it stands up to many years of use! Why the fleece layer? This is a unique feature of the FUSION line of Twinkie Tush diapers. The hydrophobic fleece redirects moisture that is heading outward, back inward so that it can be absorbed by all the layers inside. This means less leaks (as if anything would leak from these diapers anyway, they are simply top-of-the-line absorbent)!
Inner soaker layers: The soaker closest to the diaper body contains 1 layer of hydrophobic fleece, along with cotton velour and/or organic bamboo fleece. All in all, the soaker system (which comes in several pieces, all removable so that you can customize based on your child's volume) has 3 layers of cotton velour and 6 layers of organic bamboo fleece. So, when using all soakers, the Twinkie Tush CV FUSION has 10 layers of amazing absorbency. Wow!
All Twinkie Tush diapers stocked by Jillian's Drawers are serged at the outer seams.
In case you are new to the cloth diaper (CD) lingo, CV= cotton velour and OBV= organic bamboo velour. Don't let the lingo intimidate you! Cloth diapering is really much simpler than it seems!
Pair with a diaper cover (the outer is not waterproof). For nighttime, our customers love wool covers. If your kiddo is playing outside in the warmer weather, you can often just use a FUSION diaper and a top and be just peachy without a cover! Plus, you won't cover the super cute prints :)
No, we are not done lauding Twinkie Tush just yet... can we just say that this company is top notch?! We are super lucky to have this very successful business and production factory right in Ithaca. What started as a WAHM (work at home mom) business has grown to be a large production that employs very talented local women. We get to visit their operations and pick out our favorite prints; it is so much fun to be steeped in amazing fabric and color choices and to see the products coming to life. So much goes into the sewmanship of a diaper (and most garments, for that matter); it really helps understand the value of this work, seeing it in person. It also helps us recognize that cheaper is not necessarily better, and that supporting businesses who pay fair wages and provide supportive, healthy workplaces should be a top priority.
One-size, fits from approximately 12 to 35 lb.
Made from cotton velour, organic bamboo fleece, and cotton outer. For details, see description above.
