My first impression: Softness, Fit and Dry time
I love the softness of this fitted cloth diaper. This Fitted Cloth diaper is a blend of cotton and hemp. I can really see the difference a cotton blend makes. It makes a very soft, thick, and truly absorbent diaper. After prepping the diaper, I made a few observations. In the dyer, I will need to make use of my wool dryer balls. The hemp is a fairly thick fiber and I think it needs some extra help in drying and softening up. Secondly I do line dry my diapers occasionally if weather permits, and find that it does take longer to dry than microfiber or bamboo hemp. Good things are worth waiting for right?
As for the fit, I put
my 24lb daughter in it and really was surprised that it truly can fit her
without being too tight or hard to snap on.
I have had a lot of trouble with
one size diapers being on the small side for my daughter. She has a big belly and somewhat chunky
legs! With growth spurts going up and
down, I was thankful that I found a good adjustment with the snaps and the leg gussets
were perfect. (As a fitted diaper, I do
not expect leg gussets to “HUG” the legs for a tight fit, just merely wrap
lightly around her legs.) With this Babee green fitted cloth diaper, I
had no trouble in the rise being too short.
She did not have any leaks coming from the top of the diaper or the
back. Often times diapers are too low
that for some reason the belly part of her shirt gets wet. Lastly with fit, this diaper has a nice length
to the “wings”. I can still get the
snaps to snap in the middle and across on top of eachother. I feel it offers more of a secure fit, and
also extra absorbency in the front and along the sides of the diaper.
Favorite Aspects of the Fitted Diaper: The Insert, Absorbency and Trimmness
What I liked about this diaper was the placement of where to
snap the insert in. Instead of snapping
in the back of the diaper, it snaps in the front. This I thought was nice because she is a
heavy wetter at night, and with the snaps in the front there is no fear of the
insert shifting from side to side as she is an active runner/walker kind of
toddler. For my toddler the insert was
needed. I did let her run around in the
fitted diaper alone during the day for maybe about 2 hours and found that the
diaper was great at absorbing. As a night time diaper, I am very happy to find that this is a good reliable diaper. The cotton and hemp blend really absorbs everything. I find that the whole diaper is throughly used yet her crib sheets are dry. During the daytime, this trim diaper works great. I am confident enough in letting her run around in some leggings and a shirt and no diaper cover for an hour or two.
The trimmnes of the diaper in relation to how much it can absorb is truly amazing! In short, I love that I can fit all of our diaper covers and wool covers over this fitted diaper. We have flip diaper covers and some upcycled wool covers that we usually use over our Babee Greens Fitted Diaper. Also by being on the go I like that the fitted diaper is not too bulky for travel.

Did it keep your daughter's skin dry to the touch?
ReplyDeleteThese are not stay dry diapers & although they absorb a ton due to the nature of hemp-cotton blend, it's unrealistic to think they will act as a synthetic fabric does...which is a stay dry diaper. It's a trade off. Synthetic fibers for stay dry feel or natural fibers for maximum absorbency & non-chemical use.
