What are your favorite fitted diapers? We only have 2 (a Thirsties Fab Fitted and a Muttaqin Baby) so far. If my Thirsties is clean, it is the first diaper I grab for! I love fitteds and covers! I am looking at buying more to replace some pockets I recently sold. I would love to have your opinion because I also have a very small 1 year old who is only 18 lbs!
Thanks!
Courtney
Hi Courtney! I’ll be honest, fitteds aren’t my favorite. Mostly because I’m lazy and I might die if I have to snap 4 extra snaps (kidding). That being said, fitteds are awesome for their absorbency. Plus, the elastic of the fitted combined with the elastic of the cover is fantastic for containing messy uhhh…messes.
A super absorbent fitted with a wool cover is a lifesaver for a heavy wetter at night. It’s finally what got me through the nights sane, and with my son dry! I love my Guerilla Fluff Utilitarian. It has two soakers with 3 layers of bamboo fleece each, with optional zorb added as well, plus a doubler with 2 layers of bamboo fleece and a layer of wool! It doesn’t have snap closures, so I just use it at night.
My Heartland Dreams Fitted is also amazing. It’s incredibly well made, super absorbent, and not really as gigantic as you’d think a diaper that absorbent would be. Plus, it came with hip snap covers!
My Ellabella Bottoms Fitted is work-at-home-mom made, just like the other two. The Ellabella Bottoms review actually has a photo of all three of these diapers stacked on top to compare thickness. This one is also very, very absorbent, though a little bulky for daytime.
Lastly, the Little Beetle Little to Big Fitted and Wool Cover are quite different than the others, but also great. It is hands down, the trimmest diaper I have. Yet, very absorbent! I wouldn’t use it at night, but it’s excellent during the day, and very cute! The elastic is drawn a bit tighter, and I think it would fit most small babies well. My son was 20 pounds at his 18 month checkup, but he’s also proportionately short, so he’s not super skinny like my long & lean daughter was!
I’ve only used maybe 10 fitted diapers, as opposed to nearly 50 Pockets/AIO/AI2 diapers! I definitely need to review more fitteds, but like anyone, I tend to spend my fluff funds on my favorites. 😉 Thirsties Fab Fitteds are definitely on my “to-try” list for newborns, if I ever get to diaper one!
How about you gals? Do you have a favorite fitted? Are they WAHM made?

This is the fourth of my five Merry Fluffy Christmas Event giveaways!
First up is a heap of great Babykicks stuff! it’s been over 6 months since I reviewed our Babykicks Bumboo Pocket Diaper and it’s holding up great. It’s in our regular rotation, and it looks new aside from a small banana stain. Funny when I used disposables I wanted clothes off during meals to keep them clean. Now I don’t want him to eat in just a diaper lest the diaper get ruined, hee hee.
The winner of this prize package will receive two Babykicks prefolds in his/her choice of size, one premium Joey Bunz in his/her choice of size as well as 3 washies and 1 premium washie!
I’ve had my PLUMP AI2 for about 6 weeks now, and it is a favorite. It’s amazingly absorbent, does not leak, and of course, it’s adorable. It caught some attention on Sunday at church and opened the door for modern fluff talk! The lucky winner of this prize package receives this adorable gingerbread house PLUMP one-size AI2.
Here are all the details on this great diaper:
Gingerbread Houses AI2 Cloth Diaper:
- One-Size, fits approximately 10 to 35 lbs
- Outer fabric is cotton lycra knit
- Inner is an emerald minky dot with a hidden layer of PUL to make it waterproof
- Dual petal soaker made of minky, OBF (Organic Bamboo Fleece) and zorb
- This diaper has a total of 11 layers for maximum absorbency
PLUMP OS diapers (that come with snaps) feature a snap down fold down rise and crossover tabs for maximum adjustability. They also feature our laundry snap. Snap the tab down over the clothesline, no clothespins required!! PLUMP Diapers all come with a dual petal style soaker, snapped together, not sewn, so you can customize absorbency. Some call this style the AI3. Ours is a non smoking home. We do have pets. They don’t smoke either.

The third of my five Merry Fluffy Christmas Event giveaways is courtesy of one of my favorite Hyenacart groups, the Cuties with Cloth Booties Congo. A congo is a conglomeration of WAHMs, and CWCB is made up of more than two dozen talented ladies. The cuties congo stocks on the 15th of every month, and they often have a collaboration where several sellers get together to make up a package of items that work together!
First up is a full size package of Kickin’ Creations Stink be Gone All Purpose Pail Deodorizer. In September, I reviewed Kickin’ Creations detergent, pail powder and baby leggings and I’ll tell you, the powder is fantastic!! It smells great, and knocks out diaper stink without just making dirty diapers smell like flowery dirty diapers.
You can use the pail powder in your diaper pail, garbage can, sprinkled on the carpet, or in a cute dish as an air freshener. The winner of this package will receive an approximately 10 ounce package of Apple Cinnamon Scent deodorizing powder.
You will of course need to enter your name & email address is the form, then visit the Cuties with Cloth Booties Congo and tell me what your favorite item is; it can be from any vendor, not just those participating in this giveaway. Receive a bonus entry if you “like” Cuties with Cloth Booties on Facebook.
