With my recent post about sized vs. one-size diapers, I thought a post about Fuzzibunz Perfect Size Diapers (affiliate link) might be in order! I’ve had my size medium for almost two years, and I had several of the newborn diapers as well. The newborn diapers didn’t work for us because I had a skinny legged, heavy wetter, but they would have worked much better if they had separate waist & leg snaps like the bigger sizes. What I found most notable about the size medium was how large it was, so I was curious about the sizing of the small, and Kelly’s Closet sent me one for the Blogger Beach Bash.
Orange Diaper Co. Bamboo Terry Square (Flat Cloth Diaper) Review
I am participating in the flats challenge and will be using mostly flour sack towels as flats. (Sign up for the flats challenge!)
Pure & Simple Baby is a Mom-owned eco-baby boutique that sells cloth diapers and other “green,” non-toxic, organic and fair trade products for baby. Their offerings include toys, organic baby & toddler clothing, baby carriers and more. All orders over $49 receive free shipping.
They have quite a few swim diapers including some adorable prints, ruffle butt styles, and swimsuits with built in swim diapers.
I received a white iPlay Classics Ultimate swim diaper, which retails for $10.99.
The swim diaper has a snap opening on one side to make it easy for you to take off, but not easy for baby to take off!
I received the size small, which fits 10-18 lbs/6 months. Though Pure & Simple Baby is still replenishing their stock for summer purchases, iPlay swim diapers come in a huge range of sizes from preemie/4 lbs to 4T/38-46 lbs.
What makes iPlay swim diapers really unique is their sewn-in, absorbent layer and moisture wicking interior. The absorbent layer means you won’t get wet carrying baby on the way to the pool, but it’s not so absorbent that it will get soggy & droopy after being in the water.
The snug fit combined with the absorbent layer makes me confident to use this on my 13ish pound, 4 1/2 month old son, without worrying about breastfed baby poop escaping!
My favorite swim diaper Pure & Simple Baby sells is this imse vimse turquoise dots with frill. Too bad my daughter is too big for swim diapers!

Itti Bitti D’Lish SIO Cloth Diaper Review / Size Comparisons
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 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.
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!
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!
The two layer bamboo insert snaps in and tri-folds to give you 6 layers of absorbency.
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.
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!)
Medium:
Large:
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:
and in the large AIO!
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:
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.
