Mini Maestro Review/Giveaway

As promised I am reviewing the absorbency of Mini Maestros new insert. With the review I am giving you all a chance to win your own Mini Maestro.

This is exciting to me  because Mini Maestro sits at the top of my stash and the diaper my husband and mother request if they are left home with my son. My experience with the has been amazing. The feel, the fit and the usability is fabulous. This hook loop is not positioned to rub up against your babies delicate skin as many hook loop tend to do if your baby isn't just the right size. They have a trim fit for your older baby in their jeans. Having boys this is a huge factor for us. The elastic is inside the fleece around babies legs. No imprints left on chunky thighs. I loved my old insert. I can't wait to show you all the improvements.

Just some basic info about Mini Maestro is a sized diaper. You can get Small, Medium, Medium Slim or Large. Your not going to find a One Sized diaper here. They make diapers to fit.This is preferable since all babies are different and One size as adjustable as they might be are not always the best choice for your baby. They have not been for mine. I prefer a sized diaper.

Size	Weight (lbs)*	Weight (kg)*	Waist (in)
X-Small	6-12	2.75-5.5	7-12.5
Small	7-16	3-7.25	7.5-14
Medium Slim	12-22	5.5-10	9-16

Mini Maestros NEW! insert is 5 layers (bamboo / flannel / zorb / flannel / bamboo) 2 ounces dry comparing them to their older insert that is 3 layers (bamboo / zorb / bamboo) 2.05 ounces dry.

#1 Older Insert

#2 New Insert

Our first test will be slightly modified from our original science projects tests. Instead of dumping 4 ounces of water inside the cover with the insert stuffed we are going to test the inserts alone. Using a PlanetWise Sandwich size food storage bag and allowing no time for the water to absorb. Calling the older insert #1 and the newer insert #2.

#1 Insert  left 5ml of water
#2 Insert  left 3ml of water

Our second test is measuring how much water the insert holds after the wash.

Original weight vs. right out of the washing machine

#1 insert was 2.05 oz. dry. With wash it became 3.95 oz. That's is almost twice the weight of a dry insert.

#2 insert was 2 oz. dry. With the wash it became 3.50 oz. That's an entire 1.5 oz. gained.

Our next test is submerging the insert into 8 oz of water and measuring what is left after 5 minutes. We have to wait on the dryer now. ****
 I had to do 12 oz. of water on each. The old #1 insert held all but 15 ml. The new #2 insert was all but 50ml. I can't wait to see after it's been washed another month or so since bamboo is more absorbant over time. Thanks you for this opportunity.

Alana Smith is our MiniMaestro Winner! I notified you via email. Please respond with your color and size. Congratulations!

****Due to the fact we have multiple tests we will keep updating this blog post after each wash/dry and test.
