Giveaway & Review: 2 Lulas Boutique Oversized Changing Pad [CLOSED]

Twintuitive Product #12

I chose these oversized changing pads to feature as a "TWINtuitive Product" because these 18" x 30" handmade changing pads are large enough to lay two infants down upon when used horizontally. There are very few ways to economize your time when you have twins. I find laying both down side-by-side shaves a little time off diaper-changing. I also like using changing pads on the floor over using changing tables when twins are involved. There is too high of a chance that the second twin will do something to draw your attention away from the one on the changing table.

Visit "2 Lulas Boutique" for their Grand Opening!

What I thought about this extra large changing pad from 2 Lulas Boutique:


1) My favorite color is red and I have a huge soft spot for monkeys, so I thought the print was just adorable.


2) The fine corduroy is so soft, it feels like velvet.


3) These changing pads have a layer of batting inside so the feel is similar to a quilt.


4) I like that this changing pad has an attached fastener to keep the folded pad neat and compact when not in use. This is especially important to me for packing in the diaper bag.

5) I must say that I am very impressed by the workmanship of this handmade changing pad. It is extremely well-made, but still has the charm of a lovingly handcrafted item.


6) I like the idea of fabric changing pads because there has been some press about certain parts of plastic-lined diaper bags and changing pads containing traces of lead.

7) I also think that these are more sanitary because they are machine washable and dryable. This is also important to me because I do not have time to hand wash anything.

8) Even at 31 months, this changing pad is still large enough to accommodate my twin toddlers (one at a time of course). There is still room to spare when you measure from the top of their heads to the bottom of their tooshies. I am going to guess that this changing pad will last us until they are potty trained. (I hope I didn't just jinx myself.)
