Swaddlebees Capri Cloth Diaper Cover & Inserts Review

swadlebees capri 0

The Swaddlebees Capri is a cloth diaper cover that serves as a trim AI2 with the available inserts, or can cover a prefold, fitted etc. The covers are available in hook & loop or snaps (they have the same “offset” snaps as Blueberry) and come in 7 solids (including the “marina” I received) and 8 prints. 95% of Swaddlebees/Blueberry items are made in the U.S.A.

swadlebees capri 0-1 swadlebees capri 0-2

The Capri is a “two size” system, with size 1 fitting approximately 6-16 pounds and size 2 fitting 12-35 pounds. The size 1 retails for $16.95 and the size 2 retails for $19.95.

The cover is pretty trim with the Capri inserts which are sold separately for $12.95-$15.95 per 2 pack.

swadlebees capri 5 leg gussets

Whether you choose size 1 or size 2 (I received size 2), you have 3 rise setting options via a snap down rise. The cover is reusable with its wipeable PUL inner, and has true leg gussets. The Capri has front and rear flaps to keep your insert or prefold in place, and it is very sturdy and appears quite durable.

swadlebees capri 6 insert swadlebees capri 7 stay dry one side birdseye other side

The Capri inserts are all natural birdseye cotton, but have microfleece on one side, so whether you prefer natural fabric, or stay dry fabric, you have both options in one insert.

The long style allows you to fold it to get the absorbency where you need it, and since it’s not all sewn into a single thickness, it’s also easier to get clean.

Keep in mind this is the size two cover, and my measurements aren’t exact!

Small setting measured folded and stretched:

Large:

The size 2 fit my 13ish pound 4 1/2 month old:

As well as my 30ish pound almost 3-year old (with room to grow!)

The birdseye inserts absorbed very well, and I’ve used the cover over flats also. It will definitely be the first cover I grab during the flats challenge!

Dri-Line Baby & Bamboo Baby AIO Cloth Diaper Review

dri line baby 0

Dri-Line has been manufacturing products in Canada for the healthcare industry, for 22 years. Their Dri-Line Baby product line is also made in Canada, and includes cloth diapers, diaper covers and accessories.

I received three products to try. I took nice pictures of everything brand new & in their packages, then my memory card croaked! So all of these pictures were taken after washing.

The bib’s a little big! I’m not sure if he was eating it, or getting ready to rob me. Hee-hee!

The hooded towel is terry on one side & flannelette on the other, and has a snap to keep it on baby.

Nothing’s cuter than a clean, snuggly baby!

You can find the hooded towel at Thanks Mama for $19.99.

The Bamboo Baby AIO is part of the Bamboo Baby line. The standard “one size” fits anywhere from 7 or 8 to 30-34 pounds, depending on the baby’s size and shape. You can choose snaps or hook & loop, and there are several colors available. A toddler size is available in white only and fits 25-45 lbs.

Even the hook & loop version features a hip snap to prevent wing droop.

The diaper has a PUL outer (the outer is made in the USA), is lined with soft rayon from bamboo fleece, and has a 3 layer rayon/bamboo fleece flap soaker that is sewn in the back.

dri line baby 18 front elastic and rise snaps

The diaper also has front elastic and 3 rise settings.

Here is the small setting measured folded and stretched (this is, of course, approximate-not exact!)

dri line baby 19 small folded dri line baby 20 small stretched

dri line baby 21 small dri line baby 22 small side

Large:

dri line baby 31 large dri line baby 32 side
dri line baby 33 back

My older son is about 2 years & 10 months old, and 29-30ish pounds. Many “one-size” diapers are starting to get rather low-rise on him, but the large fits him well.

dri line baby 36 back

The small setting fits my younger son well. He was just under 4 months old in this picture, and I’m guessing his weight at 13 pounds (I’ll update after his checkup!) The soaker was perfect to double over right in the wet zone since he’s such a heavy wetter.

dri line baby 37 on almost 4 month old dri line baby 38 leg

Bamboo is very soft and absorbent, though like other bamboo diapers I have, it became a bit stiff after line drying. A quick tumble in the dryer & it was soft again.

You can find a variety of Dri-Line Baby products at Thanks Mama, including the Bamboo Baby AIO. You can find the diapers at Everything Birth as well. The MSRP per diaper is $18-22.

Dri-Line is accepting wholesale applications, so let your favorite retailer know that you’d like to see them carry Bamboo baby and/or Dri-Line Baby products! You can also connect with Dri-Line Baby on Facebook.

Itti Bitti D’Lish SIO Cloth Diaper Review / Size Comparisons

itti bitti 0

Last year, I posted my Itti Bitti D’lish AIO and O/S Tutto reviews. Both of “the fuzzy diapers” are my son’s favorites! Itti Bitti also makes a D’lish “snap in one” (SIO) which is essentially an all-in-two (or all-in-three to be exact.) I’ve been curious about them, so when my affiliate, Kelly’s Closet offered a 15% coupon for president’s day, I bit. I needed a few more reward points to have enough for a gift certificate, and this bumped me over. See, it was a logical purchase!

itti bitti 1

Itti Bitti says size small will fit 8-16 lbs, medium will fit 14-26 lbs and large will fit 23-37 lbs. However, they are cut with a much lower rise than many other diapers, so if you are at all in doubt about sizing, size up. (My 2 yr 9 month old can still wear a large, but if there was an XL, I’d buy it!) My little guy is around 10 lbs, so I bought a small and a medium.

itti bitti 2 sio snaps itti bitti 3 inner and elastic

The d’lish SIO is very much like the AIO. It has snap overlaps to fit a wide range of babies, and has the same inner fabric and leg elastic. I do prefer the encased elastic of the tutto, but I prefer the fit of the d’lish, so it’s a trade off!

itti bitti 4 insert snaps itti bitti 5 sizes, red snap for booster

Like the tutto, the inserts for the d’lish SIO have color coded snaps, so you know where they go. The inserts for the SIO are sized, so there is a bit less snapping involved than with the tutto!

itti bitti 5 inserts unfolded itti bitti 6 folding inserts
itti bitti 7 purple to purple

The two layer bamboo insert snaps in and tri-folds to give you 6 layers of absorbency.

itti bitti 8 yellow insert in

The hourglass shaped insert has two more layers of bamboo (so 8 layers total!) plus a stay-dry top layer. (Their website says there are only natural fibers in the soakers, but the content tag says the top layer is 100% polyester, and it definitely is!) I love getting the absorbency of bamboo, but still having only stay dry materials touch baby’s skin. I know some people say they would prefer that only natural fibers touch baby, but I much prefer stay dry. 🙂 The only thing that would make it better is it was a pocket, but I can’t turn every diaper into a pocket. Although, if Itti Bitti made a pocket diaper with encased elastic, I’d be all over that.

itti bitti 9 tutto aio sio itti bitti 10 booster

Left to right is the Itti Bitti Tutto O/S, the Itti Bitti D’Lish AIO and the Itti Bitti D’Lish SIO. All of them have red snaps to receive an additional booster, though only the Tutto includes one.

So here’s the size small measured folded & stretched (keep in mind that this is far from an exact science!)

itti bitti 11 small folded itti bitti 12 small stretched
itti bitti 13 small itti bitti 14 small side
itti bitti 15 small back

Medium:

itti bitti 16 medium folded itti bitti 17 medium stretched
itti bitti 18 medium itti bitti 19 medium side
itti bitti 20 medium back

Large:

itti bitti 21 large folded itti bitti 22 large stretched
itti bitti 23 large itti bitti 24 large side
itti bitti 25 large back
itti bitti 26 sml itti bitti 27 sml 2
itti bitti 28 sml 3 itti bitti 29 sml 4
itti bitti 30 sml 5 itti bitti 31 sml 6

All of the sizes are great, and the overlap snaps allow them to get quite snug. Here is my son at 2 1/2 months and about 10 pounds in the small and medium d’lish SIOs:

itti bitti 32 sm on 10 lb baby itti bitti 33 med on 10 lb 2.5 mo old

and in the large AIO!

itti bitti 34 large on infant itti bitti 35 large leg

Here he is in the smallest setting of the Tutto:

Lastly, my older son at about 2 years, 9 months old and approximately 29 pounds, also in the large AIO:

itti bitti 37 large on 2 yr 9 mo old 29 lb toddler

Take a look at my D’lish AIO & Tutto review to see my son in them at 21 months/21 lbs!

The D’lish AIO diapers sell for $18.97 and the D’lish SIOs sell for $1 more at $19.97. Choose an AIO print or a SIO print at no extra cost! To me, it’s worth the extra dollar to get the additional & even more customizable absorbency. The Tuttos are $26.97 for solids and $1 more for prints. Kelly’s Closet also has a few Tutto prints on sale for $20.95.

My older son LOVES the Galaxy print (the red diaper.) I took it off his brother and when he was choosing a diaper to put on himself, he chose that one and wasn’t hearing it when I told him it was a) wet and b) too small for him. 🙂

FTC compliance: I purchased the SIO diapers at normal retail prices, with a promotion available to the general public. I received the AIO & Tutto diapers at no cost to review them last year. I was not asked to write, nor was I compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.
