Smartbottoms — are these new?

How have I missed these? I'm always excited to find more small US-made cloth diapering businesses! Of course none of them are near me (how is that possible?? I live in Northern California, hippie central!), but I don't mind paying for shipping when it's made in the US! I know Blueberry and BumGenius are both American-made, as are Thirsties (I like those less than the first two). 

So has anyone ever tried Smartbottoms? Or are they newish? I'm intrigued.

Meh...they aren't my favorite, but I had one or two that I didn't mind. I just liked my other diapers better, so I sold them off. The pocket they have to stuff is pretty narrow, so changing up what you stuff them with isn't an easy mission.

I have an AIO and it is my favorite AIO, not that I have too many to compare it to. It is soft, and drys really fast, same time or less than my prefolds. It does seem to run small though, which is good for my little guy, but I don't see it even getting close to lasting to potty training.

They aren't new - they just don't seem to have a ton of distribution. I bought a wetbag by them two years ago and really like it. No experience with their diapers, though.

I like than as an AIO, they were very trim and dry fast (but I dry all my diapers in the dryer.)

@annathyst I dry mine in the dryer, too — cardinal CD sin! :-)

We have and love their AIOs. Our local diaper store stocks them; I think they are made around here.
