We love Applecheeks!


My little  in Applecheeks size 2 in the color 'Cherry Tomato'. 


This is a review/why we love Applecheeks. :)
Ryan & I stumbled upon Applecheeks on Amazon.com while looking at all the options of cloth diapers out there. We fell in love with the colors and shape of the diaper! A few months later we now have 25+ in our stash. The trim fit is what made me fall in love with them. It seemed no matter how I stuffed or what I laid in, the shape still was trim and snug fitting. Easy to wash, easy to rinse, and come in all different colors & prints! Their newest color & print release happened this past February 14th with 'Love Happens', a pink-ier version of 'Wingin It' & FINALLY a pink we can afford (ahem, Samoa) 'Pink About It'.  Applecheeks have two size options: 1&2. Size 1 fits babies 7-20lbs and size 2 fits babies 18-40lbs. The diaper has two rows of snaps to adjust the fit on the waist and on the legs. We have tried a lot of the mainstream cloth out there & Applecheeks is still the only one I grab for. They have lots of accessories as well, such as wipe spray, wet bags, cloth wipes, and more! 
Now, let's get down to details! 

Pictured is the outside of the diaper:
This is the color 'Steel Me' in a size 2.



The outside is a breathable & waterproof PUL (polyurethane laminated polyester)

The inside is Microfleece; soft to the touch & has a stay dry feel for the baby. 

Here is the envelope style opening:
This large opening makes it very easy to stuff and un-stuff your inserts.

Now, I will show you the insert options I have on hand. What's missing are their Stay-Dry Rayon from Bamboo Booster & 2-layer Rayon from Bamboo Booster. 

One-size Microterry insert:


The bottom is Microfiber which should never go against baby's skin. It is super absorbent and will dry out your babe's delicate skin. The Applecheeks tag states which side is up & which side should be down. 

Applecheeks One size 2-layer Rayon from Bamboo insert:


 We tri-fold & use stuffed for daytime. 

3-ply Bamboo Insert (my personal favorite):


We tri-fold & use stuffed for nighttime. 

Pictured is the 2-ply (white serged edges) & the 3-ply (green serged edges) side by side:



A few action shots of 'Steel Me' size 2 on my model:




I want to say Jude is around 22 pounds. He started fitting into size 2 at about 16 pounds. 

There you have it! We love our Applecheeks cloth diapers!
