@DriLineBaby Semi-Fitted #Clothdiapers Review
I recently purchased several Dri-Line Baby diapers, including their September special, which is a medium semi-fitted diaper for $4.
The semi-fitted is similar to what I’ve seen called a “pre-fitted,” which is a cross between a prefold and a fitted. Often, a WAHM has added snaps & leg elastic to a prefold. In the case of the semi-fitted, it is 8 layers of cotton flanelette all the way across, and has leg elastic and 3 snaps on each side of the front, 2 snaps on each wing.
The diapers are sized:
- X-Small (White with white stitching) 0-6 Lbs
- Small (White with yellow stitching) 6-15 Lbs
- Medium (White with blue stitching) 15-20 Lbs
- Large (white with green stitching) 20-30 Lbs
- X-Large (white with red stitching) 30 and Up
My son is 9.5 months old and about 16 lbs, so I thought the medium would be a good fit. When I received the diaper it seemed rather small.
It did shrink slightly after washing & drying:
It was actually a good fit for him,and he has one more snap to go on each side. The rise isn’t super-high, and it would be a tighter fit on a baby with a bigger belly.
While it doesn’t have rear elastic, that isn’t a concern for me since prefolds don’t either, and it will be covered.
It is easier to use (for me) than a prefold, but performs similarly (except it is more absorbent with a layers throughout instead of 4/8/4 like many prefolds.)
I used it under the Dri-Line Baby snap-to-fit cover and it worked well.
It is a simple diaper and the price reflects that, but it is an improvement over prefolds since it has leg elastic and snap closures. I would definitely recommend sizing up if you are at all in doubt, or prefer a higher rise. I’d love to see/measure the other sizes. These would be adorable on a newborn!

They are working on getting online shopping available, but in the meantime, you can order by emailing info at dri-line .com. I know that isn’t ideal, but they are happy to give you prices and shipping estimates if you like.

I paid for this item myself. I was not asked to write, nor was I compensated for this post, and all opinions are my own. I have a business relationship with the manufacturer.
Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air.
