QUESTION: Do you sell Curity diapers? If not, do you know where I can get them? When my children were small, these were the best. Are there better ones?

Sorry, but Gerber bought out Curity many years ago and discontinued this particular diaper. The only place you will find them now is the second-hand market or on E-Bay. However they have become something of a collector's item and usually cost around $10-$15 PER diaper! There is nothing on the market today just like them - I have checked everywhere!

QUESTION: How does the Cotton Kid diaper compare to the Mother-ease Sandy?

I found the Cotton Kid diaper a comparable product for a much better price. When I did absorbency testing, I found the Cotton Kid diaper much more absorbent - and quicker drying. Their design is almost identical.

QUESTION: You don't carry the Mother-ease (Sandy's, AIOs or Rikki cover) do you?

Yes, we are currently adding the Mother-ease One-Size, All-in-One diaper and Sandy's products to the Born to Love catalogue. Check out all of the Mother-ease products available!

QUESTION: A friend of mind told me that I could buy Gerber Heavy Duty DSQ prefolds from Born to Love, but I don't see them on your web site. Do you offer this product? I'm a little shy of the Chinese prefolds since I've heard they tend to shrink and wear faster than the Gerber. Thanks for your help.

Yes, we are currently adding Gerber Diaper Service Cloth Diapers to the Born to Love catalogue.

QUESTION: I'd like to order a Bravado nursing bra and need the equivalent of a 38DD. Should I order an M+ or L+?

It will depend on whether you prefer a snug fit around your rib cage, or a bit of breathing room. I prefer snug, helps to hold everything in place! So I would go with M+. But if you prefer a bit of breathing room, I'd suggest going with L+.
Should you find that the one you chose is not the correct fit, you can always exchange it without a problem.

QUESTION: I would like to order a Bravado bra and need help with sizing. Do I just order the same size that I wore before? Do I need to measure myself? If so, how?

Yes, you can most likely order the size you are currently wearing. If you are still pregnant though, you can expect to grow at least one cup size and one rib cage size.

QUESTION: I am set to order a fitted diaper. I am wondering which is better Velcro® or all snap closure? Does either one wear-out any faster than the other? Pros and Cons? Is Velcro® easier for baby to get out of than snap? HELP!!!!

Velcro® offers the most adjustable fit. Snaps offer the most secure. If you are buying for a newborn, the snaps may not allow you to make the diaper small enough to fit. If buying for an older child, the Velcro® can make it easy for them to remove their diaper and streak!
Snaps are pretty indestructible. Velcro® must be protected during washing, by closing it over onto the tabs. It should also be cleaned out of lint occasionally, for a more secure fit.

QUESTION: I would like to know when to use the doublers and liners. Can they be used with a fitted diapers for toddlers on a regular basis or for those long car trips or mall walks?

A doubler is generally considered a thick pad of several layers of cotton - whether made of terrycloth, flannelette, cotton knit, etc. A doubler is used for extra absorbency. A doubler can be used inside of any type of diaper to increase the absorbency level of the diaper, and to extend the time between changes, such as through the night.
A liner is generally considered a thin layer of stay-dry material, often made with polyester mesh or Polar fleece. Both materials work well to let the urine through, yet keep the baby's skin dry.
Or a liner can be a thin disposable liner, used to aid in the easy removal and disposal of poop. Either type of liner can be used in any style of diaper.
