Kissaluvs Cotton Fleece Fitted Diaper, Unbleached, 0 - Newborn 5-15lbs reviews from buyers.
Absorbent, keeps newborn poo in
I love these fitted diapers. I pair them with a Thirsties cover and my daughter's breastmilk poo explosions stay inside the diaper with no leakage at all. I am so impressed with them. They line dry a bit slowly because they are thick, but dry quickly in the dryer. I line dry them though and they're pretty much completely dry after a few hours in the sun. Poo stains come out easily when I hang them in the sun. The elastic legs fit snugly, but don't leave bright red marks on her legs. They are trim fitting as well. I think I'll go buy some more!
The voice of dissent...
OK, clearly I am in a minority here and in general, but I *hated* these cloth diapers. I got a bunch of them for our newborn because that's what the local cloth diapering shop recommended as the most popular for newborns, and because of the fantastic reviews here. I used them for exactly 3 weeks, then put them all aside and sold them.
Here's my issue with them: THEY GET WET ALL OVER!! So, the whole diaper is one unit. When the baby wets the diaper, the wetness doesn't stay in the center, but spreads to the entire diaper, waist area and all, and BOY do these cloth diapers ever get wet!!!
Now, I can say for a fact that this is NOT usually the case, because by now (my daughter is 11 weeks old), I own about 12 different types of diapers. I bought one each of multiple diapers, to try. Let me say, I absolutely adore cloth diapering. It's just this cloth diaper that I hated. If you want fitted + cover, I found the TotBots Bummis Bamboozle Bamboo Diaper...
Best NEWBORN fitteds. Period!
LOVE these for NEWBORNS! They're super absorbent, but still dry in a reasonable amount of time, and truly fit 5lb preemies through 12lbs or so. And the TWO rows of snaps make them very versatile, even accommodating the cord stump, and DURABLE for this time period when babies go through SOOOO many dipes per day! Velcro just doesn't hold up for infants. Any BF poo stains easily come out in the sun! They are very trim too, allowing you to use many different brands of covers with them easily. Can you tell I LOVE these!! For our next baby I will buy at least 30 of these size 0s, instead of prefolds or any of the other fitteds we tried...even with the cost involved. They're worth it! But then I'll switch to bG OS dipes when baby's bigger, like 12+ pounds.
Note: The larger size Kissaluvs still fit great, but in order to maintain their shorter drying time, they're not designed with anymore absorbency to match how toddlers start to "hold" their pee and then pee all at once...
Kissaluvs Cotton Fleece Fitted Diaper, Unbleached, 0 - Newborn 5-15lbs is one of the best cloth diapers from Kissaluvs.
