Fitted Cloth Diapers

Have you used fitted cloth diapers for your baby's benefit lately? If you did not... DO IT! Read this article and see why fitted cloth diapers is what your baby need.

These diapers are economical and super easy to use. They wash and dry faster and more thoroughly than other cloth diapers and they cost less. Fitted cloth diapers are the more sophisticated cousin to the prefold or flat cloth diaper!

The huge advantage of fitted cloth diapers is that you can use a large variety of covers, such as wool, fleece, or PUL, or you can use them with no cover at all if you want. Some people don't use covers at home, especially if they are trying to clear up a rash or if it is very hot.. Fitted cloth diapers are next step up in the evolution of the cloth diaper from the simple flat diapers or prefold that were the norm many years ago. They are exactly what they sound like...

Instead of the flat and shapeless diapers our parents may have used, fitted cloth diapers are fitted and snug, usually with elastic gatherings in the legs and waist, making them a perfect fit for any baby.

• Fitted and snug for a good fit on baby and under diaper covers
• Can be washed at high temperatures, separate from covers
• Easy to clean
• Can be very trim for day use or bulkier for night time use...your choice
• Available in lots of cute colors and prints

• Most of the time a cover is required to make the diaper function
• Not as convenient as an AIO (all-in-one)
• Can be hard to wash or have smell problems if there are too many layers

Fitted cloth diapers have elastic around the waist and thighs that allows for a snug, custom fit that won't let anything escape. Most of them have an easy, user-friendly closure like snaps or Aplix (same as Velcro, just a different brand).

The fitted cloth diapers without closures are more appropriately called "contour diapers" because are contoured to fit your baby, but don't always have elasticized legs and waist.

The advantage to the contour diaper is that your fit is not restricted by the closure- you can pull the diaper as snug or loose as you like, fasten with pins or a Snappi diaper fastener, without worrying about being in-between snaps or not having enough aplix to get the diaper snug enough (or running out of aplix when your baby is outgrowing the diaper).

Hemp is also an environmentally friendly choice, as it requires no pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides to grow. Hemp fitted cloth diapers are also naturally antibacterial and antifungal, and work to prevent diaper rash and yeast infections.
