Have you seen this post over at the Knickernappies Blog?
We're are so excited to announce the launch of our 2nd Annual Knickernappies Photo Contest and this year it's bigger and better than ever! The Grand Prize is huge and what's the best part? You're in control of your own destiny. There's no mystery panel of judges who randomly announce a winner, this time you promote your photo and get as many votes as you can.

Here are the details:

When: Contest runs from April 15-May 15, 2010

Where: Knickernappies FaceBook Page

How to enter: To enter the contest you must be a Fan of Knickernappies on FaceBook. After you've become a Fan you need to upload a photo of your little wearing a Knickernappies Diaper. One entry per person please. In the comments for your photo please add the URL to the store where you purchased the diaper. Make sure to include a clickable link to the store, not just the name.

Eligible photos must be uploaded to the Fan Photos between April 15 through May 15. If you already have a Fan Photo uploaded that you'd like to use as your entry then you need to upload it again so that it will have the proper date and also a link to the retailer.

If your photo does not include a link to a Knickernappies Retailer in the comments it will be deleted and you will have to resubmit . If you don't know the store name or didn't get the diaper new just say so.

How do you get votes? Every time someone "LIKES" your photo it is a vote. When the contest ends the photo with the most "LIKES" is the winner. Comments are encouraged as well but do not count as votes.

How do I promote my photo? We've provided a handy "Vote for Me" button on the left hand column of the Blog. You simply grab the code and replace the code/url that says http://www.knickernappies.bogspot.com with the url to your Fan Photo. You can then place the button on your Blog or Website, on Message Boards, Your FaceBook page, etc. and encourage friends and family to vote for your photo by "LIKING" it.

Another GREAT and EASY way to promote your photo is to "SHARE" it via FaceBook. When you are on your photo in our FB Fan Photos you will see a link to "SHARE" it with your friends and family via your FaceBook Page. When you share it you need to make sure to let your friends and family know that they need to click through the link to the Knickernappies FB Page to "LIKE" it. Liking it on your page when you share it is not the same as liking it on the KN FB Page.

What are the prizes?

Grand Prize-(1 Winner) 6 Knickernappies 2G Sized Pocket Diapers with your choice of inserts (Just Hemp, Microfiber, Loopy-Do's), color, and size!
Runner Up's- (5 Winners) 1 Knickernappies 2G Sized Pocket Diapers with your choice of inserts (Just Hemp, Microfiber, Loopy-Do's), color, and size!

Fluff in the Spotlight #3- KnickerNappies Lopy Do & Super Do Inserts

Just in case you didn't know, all inserts are not created equally. This week's Spotlight is on the Loopy Do and Super Do inserts. KnickerNappie's has cornered the market with their outstanding inserts. They are made with convenience and dependability in mind.

The Loopy Do is the #1 Rated Insert on DiaperPin and is the Cadillac of all inserts. Two layers of hemp topped with two layers microfiber give it a super trim design while still being super adsorbent. Literally, the best of both worlds. Because the Loopy Do is sewn in a loop it allows it to dry faster, meaning it won't require any extra drying time when dried with your diapers. They are available in Small, Medium and Large and should fit in most brands of pocket diapers.

What could be better than a Loopy Do? Meet the Super Do, Loopy's BIG BROTHER! The Super Do was desinged for overnight diapering and for heavy wetters, babes who's diapers usually need extra stuffing for added absorbtion. The Super Do boasts 6 layers of super thirsty hemp topped with two layers of the best microfiber. The photo below shows the Super Do next to two basic microfiber inserts. The Super Do is way more absorbent and half as thick.
If you're looking for an alternative to having to stuff your babies diapers full of inserts just so they won't leak then look no further. You MUST try the Super Do for overnight and the Loopy Do for every day diapering. You won't regret it.

And don't forget to check out this weeks Pimp Your Stash GiveAway where 3 winners will win 1 Loopy Do & 1 Super Do insert in the sizes of their choice!

Fluff in the Spotlight: Side-Snapping Diapers

I thought that an introduction to side-snapping diapers, the benefits, styles, brands, etc. would be a great idea and would complement the KnickerNappies OS Diaper Giveaway nicely.

If you're anything like me, when you're first shopping for cloth diapers you are looking at diapers that look and work the most like disposables, that is with the velcro fastening system in the front. Some of my verys first diapers were DryBee's pockets, they served me well and it was quite some time before I actually bought and tried my first side-snapping diapers.

At first glance side-snapping diapers might look tricky to use or hard to fasten on a squirming baby, I assure you they are not. In fact there are a lot of benefits to side-snapping diapers that you might not know about.

• They are HIGHLY adjustable, top and bottom snaps, usually with a minimum of 4 settings give these diapers as close to a perfect fit as you can imagine.
  
• While most children have aplix and front snapping diapers all figured out sooner than later, side-snaps seem to confuse babies and toddlers, making it harder for them to undo and take off completely at the most inopportune times. (We've all been there, baby takes poopy diaper off hands it to you and it's too late, you have a huge mess to clean up!)
  
• A solid layer of PUL across the tummy is perfect for tummy sleeping babies. Some diapers have a tendency to wick through the stitching around the aplix, with side-snapping diapers there is no such problem.

Did you know that there are even side-snapping one-size diapers now? KnickerNappies just released their New OS KnickerNappies Pocket Diaper! This fabulous diaper gives you all the benefits of side-snapping diapers as well as the face that it is capable of fitting from birth to potty training, 8-40lbs! It is available with two sizes microfiber inserts or with two LoopyDo inserts, the #1 Rated Insert on DiaperPin!
