New Cloth Diapering Option now available @ Monkey Business

June 13th, 2010

While pocket style cloth diapers are popular, some parents prefer the wrap and insert style of cloth diapering. The number one benefit of the new wrap and insert system is that you do not need to wash the entire diaper every time, which helps increase the longevity of the diapering system. This new system of cloth diapering also tends to be a little less expensive than the all-in-one option as well. Great news! We now have the wrap and insert style available @ Monkey Business.

Now in stock, we have Bummis Super Whisper Wraps, Bummis Organic Prefold Diapers, and Bummis Fleece Liners. We have also brought in the fabulous new wet bag in 2 sizes from Bummis (now with a zip close) and have re-stocked the popular Swimmi’s just in time for our summer weather.

Bummis products are designed and manufactured in Montreal, making them our home grown favorite brand of the wrap/insert diapering system.

Super Whisper Wrap in great patters (size newborn to Large)

Fabulous wet bags, for soiled diapers, swimsuits or any other use you can think of!


No more disposable swim diapers necessary – these swimmi swim diapers keep everything in to keep the pool clean.

To celebrate this new arrival at Monkey Business, we are offering a diapering event for the rest of June. Purchase 5 diapering items, and receive the sixth free. This can include, pocket diapers, diaper covers, pre-fold inserts, liners, diaper spray, diapering ointments, wet bags, swimmis and laundry detergent. This event ends June 30, 2010.
