I reviewed a Kissaluvs Marvels AIO in May; that’s still a favorite of mine, and my Kissa’s Wool Lover Diaper Cover was my first ever wool (purchased in March.) So, when I won a Kissa’s Cotton Fleece Fitted from the Abby’s Lane blog chat, I was a little excited, to say the least!!
Lucky for you, I contacted Kissaluvs, and they will be giving two of my blog readers a fitted diaper as well!
In true cloth diaper addict fashion, I chose the size 0 (fits approximately 5-15 lbs) even though I don’t have a newborn, nor am I pregnant! Hey, it was free!
The size zero fits 5-15 pounds, the 1, 10-25 pounds, and the 2, 20-40 pounds. All sizes retail for $12.95 in unbleached cotton, and $13.95 in the colors. I chose the yellow.
Below, the size 0 is on top of the Marvels AIO on the small setting.
The size 0 has an umbilical cord snap down, but can also be used without it. Below, it is measured with the snap down, then unsnapped and stretched.
Here is the fitted compared to a newborn disposable, and also unsnapped, compared to a size 1 disposable:
Since I don’t have a newborn, I had to enlist a model. He’s a little smaller than a newborn!
Here he is modeling a preemie newborn diaper, so you can get an idea of size:

After all that, he said his hiney was itchy and he wanted to put the Kissa’s fitted on!
Much more comfy!!
It’s a little subjective, but I’d say it fits more like a preemie diaper, though it looked similar to the newborn diaper. My model isn’t a very heavy wetter, so I can’t really speak on the absorbency. I haven’t cloth diapered a newborn, but I imagine fitteds would be great. They are breathable and could likely be used coverless, since newborns tend to dirty diapers as soon as you put them on (mine did anyway!) See this on my newborn.
Giveaway: Kissaluvs is offering two diaper giveaways, which will be drawn separately. Winners choose size and color of a Kissa’s Fitted! The first is open to anyone and will be business as usual. The second diaper will be drawn from entrants who already own a Kissaluvs product, and leave a review(s) of it.
Here’s how to enter: Anyone is eligible to win the first diaper. To enter, simply fill out the form below. Mandatory entries include name, email address and your favorite Kissaluvs Product. You may receive a bonus entry for “liking” Kissaluvs on Facebook and/or following Kissaluvs on Twitter. Feel free to leave a comment however, comments don’t count as entries.
Entries for the second diaper will go on the same form, but will be tallied and drawn separately from the first. This way everyone gets the same shot at the first one! Reviews can be left at diaperpin, amazon, sears, Kissaluvs’ Facebook Page, or your favorite retailer’s website. One entry per review, link to your review to get your entry!
I know this is a little more confusing than usual, so just send me an email if you need clarification! The post will be updated daily (or so) with the # of entries for each.
I will accept entries until Saturday, October 23rd 2010 at 9 P.M. Eastern. I will select winners using random.org’s true random number generator and notify them by email. Winners have 48 hours to respond before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is chosen. View my giveaway rules page for complete details. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.
