Diaper Covers Improve the Bottom Line

Whether parents choose disposables, reusables or a combination of both for diaper changes, fashion has hit the bottom. Today’s diaper covers are available in a large variety of colors, designs and embellishments, from fun and whacky to dressy and casual, to coordinate both diaper and outfit changes. A few of our favorite brands include collections from RuffleButts, Mint, Cutey Booty, and Ganz.

RuffleButts is Tops in Bottoms for Babies

What do Jessica Alba, Brooke Anderson and Jessica Simpson all have in common? They subscribe to the “cute tushie” philosophy: baby butts don’t have to be boring. Spotlighted on Anderson Cooper’s show, RuffleButts is already a force in trendsetting fanny wear. Amber Schaub knew she was onto something when she first created RuffleButts. The company now offers a complete line of diaper covers, swimsuits, skirts, tops and other accessories.

New diaper cover additions include the limited edition lavender Divali Woven RuffleButt. Like all of the covers, it’s constructed of 100% cotton and is machine washable. Match this with the coordinating Divali Swing Top to create a quick and fashionable outfit.

Other popular girls’ styles include the Pink Organza Knit RuffleButt — cuddly cotton-candy-colored bloomers decorated with three ruffles, and the ultra-cool White with White Bow RuffleButt — a confection of frilly ruffles topped with an enormous organza bow.

The boys’ line, RuggedButts, caters to a little guy’s rowdy spirit. Baby boys rock in the 2-Pocket Denim Bloomer, with detailed gold and white stitching and a black button in the front. Little sportsmen are ready for play in the Baseball All-Star Bloomer, Soccer Kicking Butt Bloomer, and the Football Bloomer. Each comes with adorable detailing and is styled like the ball.

Mint Makes Baby Bottoms Fresh

Straight from their latest show in Atlanta, Mint diaper covers are a breath of fresh derriere. Mint covers are the cure for boring bottoms. Sold in packages of two, there are dozens of styles to choose from: standards like Pink Gingham and Lime Seersucker all the way up to the adventurous Chocolate Gingham and Aqua Seersucker.

Kicking butt up a notch are corduroy bloomers in cool weather colors like amethyst and oak to add some cheeky sophistication to little outfits.

Babies will look extra adorable on those special days with holiday diaper covers. Getting behind the Halloween Trick-or-Treating tradition are the pumpkin-striped “Got Candy” covers, while the Thanksgiving turkey takes a back seat to the cutie in the soft cocoa striped “Gobble Gobble” cover. Santa’s little helper can ring in the season with the candy-cane striped “Santa Baby” cover.

Bloomers come in a variety of styles for ages 0-18 months, and many styles can be ordered with monograms. Mint also has a line of clothing and accessories to mix and match, including the Medium Red Seersucker Duffle that sports a monogram, and the Red Seersucker Reversible Stroller Blanket.

Cutey Booty is for Haute Heinies

Cutey Booty is making a real name for itself. Founders Angie Medlock and Whitney Koval are veteran moms who provide monogrammed, light-weight diaper covers that move with baby. Claiming to appreciate “haute heinie” style, it’s clear that this duo is on to something: each pair of personalized bottoms is developed to be worn for a year.

Cutey Booty diaper covers and boxers are available in two flavors: “whites” or “brites.” Little bottoms will shine in the 92% cotton, 8% spandex monogrammed whites. For the rough-and-tumble boys, there are adorable boxers, available with monogrammed letters in cool blue mist or fruity lime. For the sugar-and-spice crowd, the bloomers are gathered at the leg for a ruffled look and sport either coral or lime-colored letters. Snaps make all of these covers easy-on, easy-off. The 100% cuddly cotton “brites” are available in soft hues, blue mist or lime green for boys, and coral and lime for the ladies.

Cutey Booty’s newest addition is the Sealife Collection, which is tracking great interest; the company also makes button-downs and t-shirts that match the bottoms. One of the girls’ tees is white, trimmed in coral to match the diaper covers. The boys’ button-down white shirt is detailed with a misty blue pocket and would create a great gift outfit when matched with the mist-blue boxers.

Gotta Get Ganz

Ganz is already a bottomless resource, as it boasts great lines like the staid Webkinz, Time & Again, and the trendy Beyond A Bag. This family-based business, which started in 1950, offers a large variety of high-quality gifts. The fashion accessories, plush toys, home décor items and personal items (which includes an organic line, too) have made Ganz the go-to company for great gifts.

The Ganz line of bloomers is a nod to the curious crowd. The Peek-A-Boo Owl baby diaper covers come in three soft colors (blue, pink, and yellow). Developed for newborns to infants 6 months old, parents and caregivers can get an eyeful of their little ones coming and going: each cover is decorated with an appliquéd hoot owl with enormous eyes. Each pair of bloomers sports an elastic waistband for a smooth and comfortable fit.

Families welcoming another addition to their crew would welcome a gift for both children: pair a set of the diaper covers for baby and one of Ganz’s adorable plush animals, like the Baby Elephant with Diaper, as a pal for an older child.
