By: Daisy Hernández     
The PEN Literary Award–winning author “writes with honesty, intelligence, tenderness, and love” about her Colombian-Cuban heritage and queer identity in this poignant coming-of-age memoir (Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street).

In this lyrical, coming-of-age memoir, Daisy Hernández chronicles what the women in her Cuban-Colombian family taught her about love, money, and race. Her mother warns her about envidia and men who seduce you with pastries, while one tía bemoans that her niece is turning out to be “una india” instead of an American. Another auntie instructs that when two people are close, they are bound to become like uña y mugre, fingernails and dirt, and that no, Daisy’s father is not godless. He’s simply praying to a candy dish that can be traced back to Africa. 

These lessons—rooted in women’s experiences of migration, colonization, y cariño—define in evocative detail what it means to grow up female in an immigrant home. In one story, Daisy sets out to defy the dictates of race and class that preoccupy her mother and tías, but dating women and transmen, and coming to identify as bisexual, leads her to unexpected questions. In another piece, NAFTA shuts local factories in her hometown on the outskirts of New York City, and she begins translating unemployment forms for her parents, moving between English and Spanish, as well as private and collective fears. In prose that is both memoir and commentary, Daisy reflects on reporting for the New York Times as the paper is rocked by the biggest plagiarism scandal in its history and plunged into debates about the role of race in the newsroom.

A heartfelt exploration of family, identity, and language, A Cup of Water Under My Bed is ultimately a daughter’s story of finding herself and her community, and of creating a new, queer life.

These are very cheaply made and barely stay on. The clasp to keep the diapers closed breaks half of the time when I'm trying to put a fresh diaper on. Won't be buying these again.

Works Well
These diapers fit well right now, but like any diaper, we will be watching the weight of the baby and move up a size as the weight limit gets close, as that affects the amount of leakage that can occur. They are thin and easy to fit in a small diaper bag that goes anywhere, yet they are also absorbent. The designs are cute, and I like that it has a wetness indicator on the outside. They are absorbent for a few hours, but I wouldn't trust them for more than 4 hours because they are thin; however, that's the negative of any thinner diaper on the market, at least that's what I've found. The baby doesn't suffer from any irritation on his sensitive skin, which is also a big plus and is a necessity, as far as I'm concerned.

I've used babyganics for two children and will never buy again
I've used babyganics diapers for years and have always loved them. They used to be soft, incredibly absorbent and with a minimalist design that didn't show through light colored baby clothes. They were the diapers I recommended to everyone as a cloth diaper alternative and I was willing to pay the extra $ for them. What happened?!?! These have a brightly colored yet faded appearing design on them, they are rough and they constantly leak (like EVERY time). They are also small! I sized up one as I always used to do with babyganics but these size 2 diapers for 12-18 lb babies barely fit my 10 lb baby. I switched to Millie Moon diapers and find them a million times better. They're everything babyganics used to be.

Natural and Soft
Fun colorful patterns that are great for boys and girls and are soft to the touch. They are thin when dry which is great, but they still hold a lot. They have worked great well overnight with zero leaks and the baby stays dry. Fit is snug but not too tight and they move well with baby! Overall very happy with the "Babyganics, Absorbent, Breathable, Triple Dry Protection Diapers".

Still pretty good
We had their “old version” - different pattern and also apparently a different material? Because these don’t seem as good quality. But they are still more absorbent than most
