What’s Under There for Tiny Buns?

Everyone who has heard the phrase “soft as a baby’s bottom” knows that it is used to describe only the silkiest and smoothest of things. The saying also conjures up images of plump baby nether cheeks that are cushy cute! Today, The Giggle Guide^® is delving into our diaper bag of tricks for the top products from Bumkins, Happy Heinys, Mad Gab’s and Starbunz that go into making those babies’ bums so soft and healthy. With new parents eager for the best products to keep their little ones clean, happy and dry, the possibilities are, well… bottomless!

Bumkins Takes Care of Baby, Bottom to Top

Bumkins Finer Baby Products began more than twenty years ago when founder Jakki Liberman was looking for something other than disposable diapers for her own family. The company started producing all-in-one cloth diapers, but have since expanded to include a full range of bibs, diaper bags, totes and accessories. A collection of certified organic products is also available in several product categories.

The Bumkins Organic Collection is kind to both the environment and the babies using these naturally luxurious products. Organic washcloths keep baby bottoms – and other parts – clean with their plush, soft texture. Washcloths are available in pleasing, soft colors including cream, sage, rose, and dusty blue and feature a coordinating satin trim. A three-pack of washcloths retails for $9.95. At $19.95, the Organic Washcloth Bouquet features seven washcloths arranged into a festive bouquet, and makes a thoughtful baby shower or welcome home gift for new moms and babies.

Moving up from the bottom, the Organic line also includes a two-pack of Organic Chin Bibs made from extra soft and absorbent 100% certified organic terry for $8.95 and a three-pack of Organic Everyday Bibs for $12.95. The Certified Organic Burp Cloth is available in a pack of two for $11.95. To top it all off, Bumkins offers a super cuddly Certified Organic Hooded Towel and Washcloth Set for $24.95, perfect for a soothing bathtime experience.

Cotton and Hemp Diaper Sets Make for Happy Heinys

When Linda and Mike Byerline began searching for tiny diapers for their daughter who was born premature, they never dreamed it would become a business. Disposable diapers were hard on their baby’s tiny lungs, so they switched to cloth diapers. Their baby was allergic to many of the available cloth diaper choices, however, so they created their own hypoallergenic, reusable cloth diapers. The Byerlines wanted to share their exceptional cloth diapers with the world, and launched their successful cloth diaper business, Happy Heinys, in 2002.

One of the brand’s innovations is the Happy Heinys Starter Kit. People had been asking for a kit like this, but the company was reluctant to create waste with a box. To solve this dilemma, Happy Heinys designed a product that is 100% reusable. Each Starter Kit contains three diapers (one-size), six inserts (three large and three small), five hemp washcloths, and a 4-oz. bottle of Heiny Wash, all nestled in a reusable wet bag that’s perfect for wet cloths and swimsuits, or for holding dirty diapers. Available in blue, pink or butter, this kit retails for $75. It’s a great gift, and a valuable investment in both the baby’s and the environment’s future.

Mad Gab’s Moose and Bear Market Natural Body Care

Mad Gab’s “wildly natural body care” products including Moose Belly and Baby Balm, Bear Moisturizer and Cow Smooch Lip Balm, are sure to bring happy smiles and soothing comfort to parents and children.

Trial and error in her mother’s kitchen in 1991 first led Gabrielle Melchionda to create a simple lip balm that she gave away to friends and sold in local stores. Gab’s lip balm business has now grown into a fabulous collection of lip and body balms, sunscreens, candles and t-shirts sold worldwide.

The soothing body balms are a unique blend of natural oils and waxes, each sporting a light scent. They come in round 1.5 oz tins, with adorable animal characters on top. Moose Sleep Balm is perfect for babies – and their moms – when naptime rolls around. It has a light lavender and chamomile scent that helps induce yawns. To set a snoozy mood, a moose is depicted on the tin, sound asleep in a hammock!

There are two more balms marketed for babies – the Moose Belly and Baby Balm and the Zoo Belly and Baby Balm. A light chamomile and calendula scent is used in both. At $7 each, these are a pleasant balm for the pocketbook as well.

Starbunz Does an About Face in Bottom Covers

Organic washcloths, cloth diapers and baby balm all go a long way toward giving babies the soft bottoms they deserve. But there’s one more find that tops it all off – with both fun and function. It’s the Starbunz line of diaper covers designed in a menagerie of animal faces. At $22.95, these are cute and sassy reusable covers that will make everyone do an about face!

A mom to two boys, Laura Wojciechowski began this enterprising diaper business in her own home, where it remains today. When baby bends over, adoring parents and friends get an adorable view: a smiling animal face peeking out from the baby’s bottom! They may be cute, but the covers are rooted in practicality. They serve as a cover and protector for cloth diapers, making diaper changes less messy and much more fun. Styles include a duck, lion, puppy, panda and more.
