I have 2 of the same GM. Different soakers.

I have two GM Natalie that I just got NIP from trades. They have totally different soakers. One has hot pink stitching and snaps (buttons, ha) and the other has orange and is about an inch longer than the other soaker. I'm pretty sure one came from the original run and the other was a straggler. Has GM changed the cut of the soakers recently?

I'm pretty sure my straggler had hot pink serging.

The weird part for me is that they are different sizes. You'd think GM makes enough diapers that they'd be consistent.

My Natalie - first run - has hot pink serging and snaps on the soaker. Back snaps are green....

I'm going to have to go check my Natalie tomorrow and see (DD is sleeping).

But I will say this, I have diapers bought around the same time and the soakers are all cut differently. Some are long and thinner, some and short and fat and the top is kind of squared off. It bugs the CRAP out of me. If you're going to charge that much, the quality and pattern should be consistent.

Now I'm going to have to check the soakers in my gms.

Like.  Even the few new CV's I have have different soaker lengths.  It's SO annoyying.  Definatley putting my $ in other companies.

 BSRB is a new favorite.  I'm sad she's taking a break.

The orange soaker was made in Dallas and the pink in SLC.

Maybe she hired the drunk monkeys again.

How do you know where they're made?  Is it on the tag?

Yea, between the two layers.

My dapple apple soaker is noticeably shorter/stockier than all my other soakers.  It's strange...

My Natalie soaker has hot pink serging.

Of the newer GMs, there are definitely two different styles of soakers. One is MUCH shorter than the other and more squared off at the end.Off the top of my head, I know my Superstar & Greentropica are like that.

I like the longer ones better. The most recent ones I've gotten from GMHQ have had the longer soakers.

I thought I was crazy when I noticed this. I stacked all of the soakers on top of each other after I did laundry. I don't expect them to be exactly the same, but there is a huge difference in some of them. Drives me bananas!

Yeah, consistency is definitely not one of the GM's virtues.  And it definitely can't be explained away by shrinkage.    Things have been very inconsistent with the NIP GM's (and all of my new GM's have come directly from GM, no trades or spots or anything).

I only have a handful of GMs, but the soakers are all a bit different.  My rainbow crisp soaker is long and skinny.
