Finding the perfect cloth diaper

We've spent the past year or so testing out various cloth diapers and finding out our likes and dislikes. L has spent most of his diapering days in disposables because I wasn't sure I could handle the commitment of cloth but after trying out many brands I feel more confident about going cloth the next time around. Recently we've been lucky enough to have the opportunity to test out both Fuzzi Bunz Perfect Size diapers and One Size diapers. These are the first pocket diapers we have tried and we absolutely love them. They are the reason we have made the final choice to cloth diaper the next babe. Fuzzi Bunz are available in a large selection of colors and prints with both boy, girl and gender neutral choices.


The Fuzzi Bunz Perfect Size diapers are available in 6 different sizes to find a perfect fit for your little one. Sizes range from xs, small, medium, large, petite, xl fitting from 4lbs-45+lbs; now that it quite the range. Features include fleece inside, back pocket with super absorbent insert, adjustable snaps for both the leg and waist area, soft waterproof outer PUL layer in color or print, leg elastic and side snaps.



Fuzzi Bunz One Size diapers include the same features as the Perfect Fit but one size fits from xs(4lbs)- L(30+lbs) and also have an adjustable elastic and button waistband and leg holes to customize the best fit. They even offer an online One Size diaper sizing guide for help on getting the right fit. The elastic is also numbered by the button holes ensuring the right fit. When sizing for a smaller babe though the diaper does tend to get a bit bulky, this bulkiness does go away as the babe gets bigger and sizing changes.


I really loved both options but have decided to go with the Perfect Size for the next babe and have already stocked up on some. They were easy to use and not a lot of extra steps involved. They are both machine washable and dry-able, though you can hang them up to dry if you choose. I've had them sit too long before washing before and they have not fallen apart when I had to wash them and strip them a few extra times. ( I have had some other brands fall apart due to this) Fuzzi Bunz come with a microterry insert that are stuffed into the open pocket at the back of the diaper. Once they are dry you can pre-stuff them before you put them away making diaper changes a bit faster. For overnight use you can add an extra insert (purchased separately) for extra absorbency if you find your little one pees more at night. The One Size diapers come with both a large and small insert for different sizing. When it comes time to wash your diapers the inserts usually fall out easily when you give them a quick shake over the washer. Rarely do you have to dirty your hands by pulling things apart for wash like some other brands. We also have not experienced any side leakage from these diapers once we upgraded to two inserts at night. If you are ready to give up on cloth diapering I suggest you try out Fuzzi Bunz, they are a breeze to use and we just love them!
