Small Wetbags and a Testimonial

First, a testimonial:

Once upon a time there was a girl who loved goodmama diapers. She also loved diaper bags, but her diaper bag was always a mess.

She was forever shoving those velvety soft little marshmallow diapers into diaper bags and forgetting them there.

Some would stay there dirty for days . . . other times, she brought a medium sized wetbag, put 5 or 6 diapers in it, and then tried to scrunch an oddly-shaped wetbag stuffed with diapers into her diaper bag.

It wasn't pretty. Those little diapers deserved better.

And then, being the fabric-phile she is, she bought small goodmama wetbags--and she lived happily ever after. How did she do it?

Here's what she has to say:

Look at all the pre-wrapped goodmamas, all in their little wetbags.

Each has a wipe in the pocket on the front of the bag.

When I need a diaper, I pull it out of the wetbag, put the dirty one inside it with the wipe, and then tuck it back into my diaper bag.

When I get home, I pull out the wetbags that are missing the wipe.

Those are the dirty ones. They go right into my hanging pail.

The rest of the "gift wrapped" goodmama goodness stays in the diaper bag, ready to go for next time.

Seriously, do you know how much time this saves me? There are always diapers wrapped in the diaper bag and ready to go!

And, let's face it, what girl doesn't want her diapers to look like this? 

Small wetbags, stocking today in the goodmama store.

Mud Bubbles Hanging Pail Wetbag

We got some new wetbags in! They will be stocked next week. You can see them all here!

Backordered diapers are here

Good news!!!  Backordered diapers have finally arrived and Becky started shipping them today!

Also, the February Wish Box and Switch Box orders are almost finished and all that got finished this week are shipping to us today.  We are out of velour again, but more is scheduled to arrive on Monday, so it will be spread on Monday and cut on Tuesday morning, and production will begin again on Tuesday.

They should take a day or two to finish at the most and then I am having them shipped here faster so they can catch up with the first batch that is shipping today. As soon as they are all here, we can start shipping your Boxes! I will keep you updated with news as I receive it.

As soon as those are finished, we will start on the picked-up orders. After these we will do the bonus diapers. We have to get all of the orders done first, and I don't want to make any bonus diapers until we are flush in velour. Right now it is coming in waves, just in time, and just barely enough. I have a very large order coming in a few weeks, and after it gets here we will be set for velour for a while.

Also today we cut out batches of *all* the 2008 prints, so that we will have them ready to go as soon as we get the velours caught up and instock. I'm so excited about these, and I know you are too. Some of the 2008 prints are already retired because I only had a small roll, but I am not 100% on which ones they are so I will not say until I am sure. But fear not, there is more awesomeness coming!

We also got more wetbags including some favorite prints and a few new ones. They are awesome!  Becky asked me not to stock them today so that she can keep her shipping within the 5 business days. Once the weekend hits, I think I can stock them so they have until Friday to ship. :-D

What else? Today's stocking on Hyena Cart (http://www.hyenacart.com/goodmama) went well! It was really fun to have a free and a free-for-shipping item with everything else. I have been requested to stock another you-pick Baker's Dozen to auction, so I will do that again in a few weeks when we have more velour.

I have more shirts that I am stocking on the cart, it's very tedious as many of them we only have one of each size and they must be stocked individually. If these oversell, I will have to issue refunds because these are one-of-a-kind and we are out of most of these prints. The cool thing is that now that we have these great side projects we can do with our leftover fabric, I am having all of our print scraps put in a box and shipped to us whenever we have diapers cut, so 2008 will have a greater supply of these fun accessories.

I will send out an email to the yahoo group when the shirts go live. Again, I will need to wait so that we can stay within our shipping deadline this coming week. We have already shipped most of the shirts that sold on Hyena Cart today. Becky is so efficient! I should make her a PayPal tip jar!

I hope you all have a safe and happy weekend. The weather here is finally starting to stay warm. We won't talk about how it snowed a little on Wednesday! Enjoy your spring weekend and happy diapering! Remember, I still want to see your photos for the contest and with the warmer weather, it's a great time to take your little one outside. :-)

Blue & Brown Go Downtown

Here's a preview of the new wetbags! These are stocking in the store on Monday, March 24, time not yet decided.

The large hanging pail is perfect to replace your diaper pail, to take on weekend trips, to use for regular laundry -- especially while traveling. It's generously sized and can hold probably more diapers than you should wash in one load. It also has a handy hanging loop that can go on a cute hook on your wall, on a dresser knob or on a doorknob. We have made a design change so that the loop is on a different side than the zipper pull so it's easier to close. Slick, eh?

We also have our ever-popular and useful medium wetbag, now with a hanging loop! This is the perfect size to carry in your diaper bag, or for smaller changing areas in your house, to go to daycare or on a day trip. It is generously sized but not so big it's cumbersome to carry.

Hazel is potty trained and we still use both of these sizes. I use the large one for laundry while traveling, and am considering giving one to each of the kids for their personal laundry. The medium is just right to carry an extra outfit and pair of underpants for my almost-three-year old. If she needs it, we pull out her clean clothes, change her, put her wet clothes in the bag, zip it up, and we are ready to go. You can wash wetbags with your diaper laundry or with your regular laundry. Now that I am not washing diapers, I just wash them with the regular laundry and they fare just fine. 

And now, brand new, we have the small wetbag, perfectly sized to carry wipes (without even having to fold them!) or a single diaper.

It has a fabulous pocket in the front to tuck a few dry wipes, some rash cream, a little spray bottle, or whatever you want to carry.

The coolest thing about this little bag is that you can individually wrap your diapers for on-the-go convenience.

Just slip the diaper inside, it fits perfectly. Zip it up and carry it in whatever bag you want. Don't feel like carrying your diaper bag? Don't! Just bring your individually wrapped diapers, with your wipes and spray bottle in the pocket. It will stow nicely in your purse.

When you need to change your baby, pull the clean diaper out, replace it with the dirty one, admire the beauty, and go on your merry way!

Life is too short to carry ugly bags.
