Back to the Roots with Superbottoms



I am very sure that one advise all of us get even before the baby is born to keep the babies in nappies for as long as possible and keep the usage of disposable diapers at minimal.

And though off us try real hard to keep the soft bums of our little ones encased in the cotton/muslin nappies , disposable diapers always find their way due to cold weather, already too much stress in handling the baby and plain cloth nappies  add to the chores , outside ventures, interrupted sleeps  and sometimes plain laziness in changing the nappies over and again.


Well for the initial months I tried to keep Vanya diligently in the cloth nappies and use disposable diapers during the night time. And though I was getting aware of the cloth diapers, I just couldn’t find enough time and muster enough courage to try on the same as I always thought that understanding their functionality and laundering process is very tedious.


However at that time I had started getting active on Instagram and I started reading a lot about the mums giving a way to cloth diapers and their reasons started motivating me, inspiring me. And I think in May,17, I ordered my first Super bottoms. And believe me after my first tryst with the brand, I became a fan.


And therefore , through this post, I plan to give you a little layman background about superbottoms and my reasons of using it

Superbottoms is India’s first CPSIA (The consumer product safety improvement product) certified tested cloth diaper brand.  Started by an Indian Mompreneur, Pallavi Utagi , the brand was formulated as a result of finding a solution for the diaper rash frequented by her baby boy.

The cloth diapers have following parts :

Superbottoms are available in three variants :

Cover Diapers : They consist of a waterproof outer cover and has a hollow inside where soaker needs to be placed with the help of snap buttons . The major advantage of cover diapers are that when the baby pees or poops and only the soaker has been spoiled , the soaker can be easily replace with another soaker or even with any homemade cloth  and the outer cover can be used again with another soaker . This way the outer cover can be used for hours .

Reusable diaper reviews

The Superbottoms cover diapers come with the Microfibre soakers which have a dry feel layer on the top of them to keep the bums of the baby dry and rash free. Further their 4 size option would guarantee their usage till the time baby becomes of the age to be potty trained.
In my experience they are good for 3-4 hours .

Newborn Diapers : They are made for newborns till they reach the weight limit of 7kg. These diapers are adjustable and can be sized with the help of snaps available on the diaper . Newborn diapers are mostly available in the form of cover diapers so that sosjers can be changed without changing  the outer cover .

Superbottoms Plus All in One ( AIO) for heavy absorbency :
These diapers comes with a waterproof outer cover , an attached soaker and a additional soaked to be placed below the attached soaker. This double soaker action guarantees a wet free night for the babies and is the answer to the usage of disposable diapers during the night .

In my experience they actually last the whole night .


Laundering :

It's very easy peasy. Whenever you first receive the cloth diapers , machine wash or hand wash them two to three times with any normal detergent powder . However do not Use Dettol as it acts as an additive and may stuck to the cloth diapers .
After each use , you can machine / hand wash them like any regular clothes. In case of pooped diapers , flush the poop and then machine/hand them like any other cloth nappies.



My reasons behind my addiction to Superbottoms :
  1. I feel so happy and safe whenever I put them on that my baby is not jn a disposable one and she is kinda safe from all the chemicals and rashes .
  2. They are very comfortable to wear . This is purely on a guess basis because my daughter has never shown a slightest trace of discomfort in them .
  3. I am doing my bit to the environment .
  4. I am saving a lot in disposable and other alternatives I kept on buying .
  5. They come in so many variety and colours and each one of them is an instant love . Superbottoms launch a new design every month and its awakes droolworthy
  6. My baby bums looks so cute in it . Plus with such vibrant colours , pairing them with her clothes has become a new hobby.
  7. They are totally leak proof against the urine and poop . I never had to change a bed sheet with them on .
  8. Once you get a hang on their maintenance and sizing part , they are very easy to use . Plus Superbottoms has an amazing support group where they sort out all your queries in a very quick manner
  9.  Due to sizing options , they can be used for years.
  10. They are washable diapers and believe me once you get the hang of it, laundering is really easy


I hope with this post I am able to motivate atleast few of you to make a better choice and switch to cloth diapering
