AppleCheeks covers feature a unique envelope design, similar to a pocket diaper, but with NO NEED TO UNSTUFF. The absorbent inserts come right out in the wash! An outer layer of breathable, waterproof polyurethane laminated polyester (PUL), sewn to a butter soft microfleece inner layer, so that only the softest of soft touches your baby’s delicate skin.

Features:

• inludes one cover and 1 bamboo insert, a great package as a starter
• Snug, durable elastic at both the waist and legs for a gentle and secure fit.
• Two rows of easy-to-adjust snaps, allowing for a proper fit at the legs and the waist.
• A beautiful range of truly spectacular colours to appeal to a wide range of esthetic.
• A handy envelope opening, wide enough for daddy’s hands, which allows for the option of placing the absorbent inner between the fleece and the waterproof outer layer if so desired.
• A more generous and longer lasting fit than other similar styles on the market. Size 1 fits from 7 - 20lbs, Size 2 fits from 18 - 40lbs. All weight ranges are approximate.

About Apple Cheeks

Ilana Grostern and Amy Appleton Venu of Montreal are the designers and owners behind the fabulous washable diapering system know as AppleCheeks

These ecologically-minded business women really know what they are talking about when it comes to cloth diapering not only from their own personal experiences, but also because they have listened to their customers over the years. And they are so thrilled to be bringing this proudly Canadian-made system to you!

Why Choose Cloth Diapers?

• You are saving 300 lbs of wood if you use AppleCheeks reusable diapers on your little one. That’s because it takes that many trees to produce enough diapers to throwaway-diaper one child.
• You’re helping to slow the growth of our landfills. It is estimated that we throw out 600 million throwaway diapers every year in Quebec alone. That’s the equivalent of 6000 garbage trucks JUST for diapers!! In Canada we throw out 4 million diapers PER DAY.
• You’re helping to reduce the amount of waste that sits in a landfill. In ideal conditions it would take 250 - 500 years for a single throwaway diaper to decompose. The conditions in our landfills are unfortunately not ideal, so decomposition takes much longer than that, even.
• Your cloth diapers will last you through two to three babies, at which point they can be used as cleaning cloths. After that, cut them up in small pieces and throw them in your compost and they can be helping to fertilize your garden the next year!
• You are saving a TON of money: From the moment she is born until 30 months of age, your baby will go through approximately 5400 throwaway diapers. This can cost you anywhere from $1500 - $2500. By choosing to cloth diaper your child, you can spend as little as $550 for the entire diapering experience (based on our least expensive package). AND...not only does this represent significant savings for one child, but the SAME cloth diapers could last through two and even three children! You will be saving a minimum of $2000!! Think of what you could do with the money... a family vacation comes to mind...

You are supporting the Canadian economy as all our diapering products are proudly designed and manufactured in Montreal, Quebec, Canada!
