Type of Cloth Diapers

When i was at the bazaar, some moms were scratching on the head when i told them there are many type of cloth diapers available in the markets, it is depending on what is their type of preference. But some moms are very smart, they did some research first before coming to meet me. They came to feel and see what is the different between fitted, pocket and All in ONE because they told me it's very hard to figure out how it looks like by just doing their readings and pics posted on the Net till they actually got to see and feel it on their hand. Luckily i have those 3 types..winks***For All in Two, i do not have it to show them because it is not in my preference list =)

Ok, these are some common type of cloth diapers that you may come across while you are doing reading on cloth diapers.

Fitted Diapers
To make it simple, the whole diaper itself is made of soaker, meaning the whole diaper absorb baby's urine, that is why making it a choice for night time heavy wetter. Fitted is trim, fit and snug with a contoured shape and gathered edges around the legs, making it prefectly snuggle on baby bum. Instead of tape, it secures with either a aplix (aka velcro) or snaps. Fitted comes with a variety of materials, but some popular choices are hemp, bamboo, sherpa and velour. Bear in mind, fitted is not water proof, therefore you need a cover (water proof layer of cover), but if me and baby are at home, i may not want to add on the cover since fitted is super breathable!!

Check out how fitted looks like....FITTED

Pocket Diaper
Right, cloth diaper that has a pocket!..Pretty straight foward,ya. What do we do with the pocket diaper? Easy, you need to stuff inserts in it because the inserts will act as the soaker, meaning the inserts are the one absorbing baby's urine. Moms tend to ask how long it can last or how much urine it can hold. Depending on the type of inserts you are using. Microfiber can lasts bout 2-3 hours. (that's my experince in using on my baby). If hemp or bamboo inserts are used, definetely it can hold more and last longer. A mom popped up this question to me, if i used that brand of Pocket Diaper, i have to use back the insert which is the same brand of my pocket diaper, is it? My answer is NO! I always opt for various mixture of inserts and different brand as well, as long as i think it works out to be a good diapering system. Even, at times if i m out of inserts, i simply stuff in with lampin kain. (prefold cloth nappy). So, moms always can be creative to work out your own diapering system.

ALL IN ONE Diaper (AIO)
Not much different from pocket diaper except the insert is sewn in the diaper. It is convenient to use especially during outing time whereby you need a quick change, since it mimics the disposable diaper except you don't dispose it. AIO takes longer time to dry and harder to clean effectively since the insert is sewn in the diaper which dont allow you to remove it unliked the pocket diaper, but after all, that's why we called it AIO =)

This is how AIO looks liked and you can see the insert is sewn in. This diaper also allow you to stuff in insert in it if baby needs extra booster as you can see there is an opening liked a pocket diaper.Anyway, i m letting off this Magic ALL - AIO by BBH for the price of RM50 since it is an extra and unused when i bought a value pack. This is a brand NEW one and the size is L.
-SOLD TO N.A.
