Bamboo Diapers

Bamboo is heavenly soft, super-absorbent, and environmentally friendly. Bamboo fabric is naturally antibacterial, super absorbent, and beautiful. Bamboo diapers can be made with natural fibers inside or with microfiber inserts for easy drying. BumGenius bamboo fitted diapers contain a microfiber soaker to allow for fast drying. Little for Now bamboo diapers are available as fitted sized diapers with a microfiber insert or as a one-size fitted diaper with a natural fiber soaker.

We love bamboo diapers because they work so well and because they are so gentle on baby’s skin. We use bamboo velour cloth wipes at every diaper change and reach for the bamboo fitted diapers first when the diaper wash is done. Little for Now bamboo fitted diapers come in cute prints and lovely hand-dyed colors as well as natural, unbleached bamboo velour color. We always use undyed, natural fabric on the inside so the only thing touching baby’s skin is natural fabric.

In addition to our Little for Now bamboo diapers, we carry BumGenius bamboo fitted diapers. In January we are expecting the brand-new Drybees bamboo diapers as well as Bummis fitted bamboo diapers. You can see our available selection of bamboo diapers here.

One Size Cloth Diapers

One size diapers are an economical way to cloth diaper since they will fit most babies from about 8 pounds to 35 pounds or potty training. Each one size diaper has a slightly different fit, so I recommend trying a One Size Cloth Diaper package to see which one will work best for your family before you invest in a whole stash.

You’ll save even more money with one size cloth diapers if you have two or more babies in cloth diapers. While there are pros and cons to one size cloth diapers, they are the most popular option in cloth diapering today.

How well do one size pocket diapers work? I recently tested a Wahmies One Size diaper for overnight on a heavy-wetting two year old. I stuffed the diaper with one microfiber insert and one medium size Little for Now hemp prefold. She wore the diaper for 12 hours and woke up with dry sheets, although the inserts were saturated.

Some of the most popular one size cloth diapers are BumGenius, Wahmies One Size, and Happy Heiny’s One Size. Wahmies One Size diapers come in both a unique hook fastening diaper and an all snap version. Happy Heiny’s One Size diapers come in a hook and loop (like Velcro) style and a new all snap version.
