A fitted cloth diaper is such a great idea.  It is a diaper that needs no folding, easy to use and very absorbent. They are durable and economical and perfectly effective. You can use pins, snaps, of Velcro making them as easy to use as disposables.  They wrap around baby’s bottom as snug as a bug in a rug. Styles and colors to please everyone. So many improvements have made buying fitted cloth diapers a popular choice today with eco-friendly parents.

They are easy to wash; the material is soft yet strong enough for the intended job.  Fitted diapers are better at containing the mess with their gathered, elasticized leg, and waist opening.  They do not have a waterproof covering so they do require a diaper cover. Fitted cloth diapers have a contoured fit that surrounds baby’s bottom and attaches on the side of the diaper.

When you shop for and purchase the fitted cloth diapers, you will face a multitude of choices, such as:  diaper liners, a pocket diaper, and an all in one style that gets bigger as your child grows.  Fabric choices that include certified organic cotton, anti-bacterial hemp and stretchy fleece are all available.  The colors and patterns are a wide assortment of choices; diapers are not just white padded pieces of cloth anymore. Cloth fitted diapers are soft, flexible and absorbent. You may be a little overwhelmed when you first start shopping for cloth diapers because of all the choices and options available.  They are a healthier, sustainable alternative to disposable diapers.

The smart design cloth fitted diaper offers an adjustable feature allowing the diaper to enlarge as baby gets bigger, thereby making this a great lasting choice.  The pocket design feature is so helpful especially on trips.  The pocket diaper is exactly what you might think, a diaper which holds a pocket to add extra absorbent padding for heavy wetters or overnight.

For newborns, the idea of a fitted cloth diaper is just superb.  The ill fitting rectangle was just too big and bulky for the little newborns.  The newborn size has a little extra elasticity in the legs for the runnier waste of a breastfed baby, and solid padding for maximum absorption.  The front of the diaper also takes a dip right where the umbilical cord is healing.  Although smaller babies generally use more diapers than toddlers do per day, don’t go overboard on buying too may newborn sizes though; babies grow so fast they’ll be ready for the next size up in no time.

According to some parents, using cloth fitted diapers has made potty training easier.  The toddler feels the wetness and will work toward staying dry and comfortable quicker in a cloth diaper.

Prices are a little higher than the flat rectangle cloth diaper but the convenience makes it well worth the added cost. They range anywhere from $10 to $20 per diaper but you can save some a few dollars by buying a 4 pack or purchasing packages including covers and liners.  Check the Web for product descriptions of all the options available.  You can see the pictures of the most popular styles and brands.
