About The Company TOP

The Eli Monster formed in 2007 after Stephanie began sewing diapers for her little Monster, Eli. After months of searching popular brands for cute, edgy diapers while sewing her own for Eli, she discovered that other moms were in the same boat. So Stephanie began the long process of designing and redesigning a great fitting diaper that was both trim and well fitting for both skinny minis and buddha babies alike. Using her original pattern and skills learned in school (Southern Illinois University-go Salukis!) she began creating diapers that are both trend forward and practical.

Sizing TOP

Diapers:
Small: birth - 12lbs.
Medium: 10 - 22lbs.
Large: 20 - 30lbs.
XLarge:30+lbs.

Another way of looking at it is as follows:
Small: infant
Medium: baby
Large: toddler
XLarge: Child

But as with most diapers, the sizing is approximate. A thinner, but heavier child can fit into a smaller size longer whereas a buddha baby will need to go up a size sooner. I include a crossover tab so you can buy the next size up and get more wear out of the diaper.

Longies:
Small R: 15 W: 13 I: 6.5 
Medium R: 17 W: 14.5 I: 8 
Large R: 18.5 W: 16 I: 9.5 

What is the suggested wash routine? TOP

WASHING

• Dispose of any solids in toilet and fold tabs onto themselves before tossing in dry pail before washing.
• A cold prerinse is helpful to soften and remove any solids left behind.
• Wash with 1/4 to 1/3 normal amount of diaper safe detergent. Use baking soda if desired.
• An extra rinse is helpful but not necessary.
• Vinegar can be added to the first rinse. Tea Tree Oil can be added to the last rinse.
• Line drying is preferable as it will extend the life of your diapers but you can also use a dryer.

Washing does not have to be a labor intensive process.  Your routine will depend on your type of water, you detergent, and the types of diapers you own.

What are your shipping policies? TOP

All domestic packages are shipped Priority Mail with signature confirmation.

I also ship Internationally First Class. Shipping time for International customers depends on how long the parcel is held at the border. If the price is comparable, I will upgrade to Priority International at no cost. Just an extra to get your baby goodness to you a little faster. 

If you would like another form of shipping, contact me and I will be more than happy to adjust your invoice and make shipping arrangements.

Because my items are made to order, it may take up to 3 weeks to be delivered. I strive to have speedy turn around time but I do have a toddler who likes to "help" making production slow some days.

Payment TOP

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, debit cards and Paypal.  We process all payments through paypal.  Paypal is a safe and secure way to make payments online.

Returns TOP

I will gladly exchange unused diapers for the same product in a different size. I understand that sometimes the fit isn't what it should be and you need to go up or down a size. 

If you ordered the largest size and it just won't fit your babe, you can return the diaper and I will refund your purchase price. 

I strive to make all diapers the best in quality but if you receive a defective diaper I will either repair that diaper or replace it with a matching one, depending on the damage. This does not apply to damage caused by angry washing machines or other conditions out of my control.

I can only accept exchanges or returns 35 days from time of shipping.

Do you have a prefold folding tutorial? TOP

Why, yes we do.  Thanks for asking.

I've folded down the rise in the front for the video (because he needed more absorbency in the front) but prefer to fold down the back of the prefold for my little chickadee.

Do you offer co-op pricing? TOP

Yes we do.  Our co-op orders are set up to be as painless for the co-op hostess as possible.  Please see the attached file for our easy co-op instructions:
