When I was looking for sponsors for my “A Year of Fluff” event, I contacted companies that readers had asked about. I have heard lots of talk about Rocky Mountain Diapers! I was able to get a mango and lime diaper to review, and a lime and lemon diaper for one of you!
The Rocky Mountain Diapers pocket diaper has a simple snap closure pattern, a stay-dry suedecloth inner that is far softer than other suedecloth I’ve felt, and an easy to stuff pocket. It comes with a microfiber insert.
This diaper is one size, by way of leg elastic adjustment.
There are 4 snap adjustments (Extra Small, Small, Medium & Large) and the elastic tucks neatly back into the diaper. I did have to pull a bit to get the snaps out, but I didn’t hurt the diaper.
Rocky Mountain Diapers estimates their diapers will fit babies from 5-30 pounds best, though they may fit up to 35 pounds, depending on your baby’s shape. Above is the diaper on the extra-small setting. It gets so tiny (and cute!) Below are the measurements for the XS folded and stretched.
Small folded and stretched:
Medium folded and stretched:
Large folded & stretched:
Since the end of the elastic is sewn into the diaper, you really could use it unsnapped, though it of course doesn’t really stretch that way!
I actually ended up using the diaper on the small setting, I probably could use medium as well.
Here’s the Rocky Mountain small compared to a Bumgenius 4.0 medium:
The small setting on my son, who is about 18.5 pounds and 30″:
The diaper was quite trim since it didn’t have the bulk of a snap down rise. It could be even trimmer if you used it with a sized insert (I folded over the one that came with the diaper.) Most importantly, it didn’t leak! These diapers retail for $19.50 each.
