Is Chelory the perfect cloth diaper?
WANT TO WIN A CHELORY??!!

I have been using cloth diapers since October of 2005.  In the last 6 1/2 years I have been privileged to use more brands than I can count.

You’ve rejoiced with me when I discovered the greatness of bum Genius Elementals (then called Organics), Grasshopper Diapers, Rumparooz, Ragababe and sustainablebabyish (and a few others) and I said, “Finally!  A cloth diaper that’s almost perfect!”

Today, I get to add another diaper to the short list.

chelory1

Chelory stay dry AIOs in both snap and aplix are pretty near perfect.  Near.

What makes Chelory so special?

The very first thing I do when I receive a new diaper is to inspect the craftsmanship.  Is there a fine attention to detail?  Is there a creative, unique aspect to the diaper?

If you have ever had the privilege of buying a hand made cloth diaper you will know that there is a difference.  Chelory cloth diapers are one of the better made cloth diapers I have reviewed.

I asked Rachel if she had a team of seamstresses helping her to meet the high demands that customers have placed on her supply.  Like many WAHMs she is a self-proclaimed control freak so allowing her mom and 2 local grandmas to assist in the production was very hard!  Rachel is committed to being the final hands to touch every diaper: the elastic and topstitch is done by her.

After inspecting the diaper it’s off to the washer and dryer (they come ready to use but I didn’t realize this). These are some thick diapers so the dry time is a bit longer.  Rachel advised me that if you turn the inserts around the diaper it shortens drying time.  I’m trying that out right now.

Here are some terrible pics I just snapped of the inside of the diaper and how to turn the inserts around.

How does Chelory perform?

A diaper could be near perfectly crafted but if it leaks, droops or leaves deep grooves in the thighs then who cares about the beauty, right?!

The Stay Dry inner fabric is Wicking Jersey.  Under that the absorbency comes from layer upon layer of bamboo.

Bamboo is one of the best fabrics used in the cloth diaper industry.  It satisfies many of the desires parents have: organic, absorbent, trim, sustainable, easy to clean.

I put the aplix version on first.  The aplix tabs are sewn in a way that allows them to naturally fold onto the laundry tab.  They actually stayed down in the wash!

Camden is 17m, about 26lbs and 34″ tall.  He has a short rise so he wears the Chelory diaper on the small rise setting.

I left the diaper on as long as I could but he pooped.  Of course.  What kid doesn’t poop in a new diaper on the first try?

Camden is slightly prone to rashes and red marks so I was curious to see how the elastic and wicking jersey faired.

Surprisingly, he was all clear.  Yeah!

It was about 6:30 in the evening and I had to decide if I wanted to put on the nighttime diaper super early or put on a regular one only to have to toss it in the pail after an hour’s use.  Anyone else go through this dilemma?

I decided to be brave for the sake of a review and put the snap Chelory on for the night.

Camden is not nursing at night anymore so he is not a heavy wetter.

After 14 hours (8:30am) there were no leaks but the inside was soaked.  When Camden was nursing throughout the night only microfiber and hemp kept him dry.  It would be interesting to see how Chelory performs at night for a heavy wetter.

Overall fit

Chelory Stay Dry AIO cloth diapers are a one-sized diaper designed to fit newborn through toddler.  Camden won’t have a problem wearing these to potty training since he is only on the small rise setting.

The waist was easy to adjust and I got a snug fit with both versions.chelory3

Is Chelory the perfect cloth diaper?

There is no perfect cloth diaper.  You knew that. But, Chelory is a cloth diaper that makes me excited about cloth diapering!

  1. I bought some after this write up and have been buying ever since. I love Chelory’s. They are indeed my perfect Diaper right now.

    Reply

  2. First off, love Chelory’s! I haven’t tried the stay dry yet though. I just had to say, I read your review and laughed at the part about the night time diaper dilemma. It is something I have an internal battle with every night. Do I put on the nighttime diaper now and risk a big poop in it, or will fall asleep early in a diaper that is just not cut out for night time and have to change the sheets in the morning. (He is 7.5 months old and not really on a bedtime schedule, so it’s always a guessing game).

    Thanks for your review! I have book marked your page and look forward to continue reading your cloth diaper adventures!

  3. I am still pretty new to cloth diapering (I have a 3-month old we have been cloth-diapering since 2 weeks), but my favorite so far are the Happy Heinys One Size Mini because they fit her really well right at the beginning, and they STILL fit her great. And they are an awesome night-time diaper with the small microfiber insert plus a small hemp babies diaper doubler. That seems to be our perfect diaper so far!! Although now that she is growing into the bumGenius 4.0’s, I’m loving those as well!!

  4. Autum, I see that you mention that your son Camden is prone to rashes and red marks. I am new to cloth diapering and have been trying out different diapers and of course cleaning routine. I think my son is sensitive to the fleece in the pocket diapers. Do you have any tips/diapers that work well for your boy? I was thinking about getting the flip system or best bottoms so that the fleece isn’t an issue.

    Thanks!

    Reply

    • I liked the Flip system when I used it with Sterling. Actually I just ordered 2 new Flip covers today :) I also loved the Elementals but with a sensitive boy he reacts to feeling moisture too.

        Thanks for your response! I also just bought a few liners from Ragababe last night- Im hoping those work since they sit on top. I think that some of the fleece diapers are a little too hot and are creating a heat rash of sorts.

        Thanks!

  8. My perfect diaper is a one-size that would fit my skinny little girl well without a lot of bulk. My Fuzzi Bunz are the closest I have found.

    Reply

  9. I love colorful diapers that are easy to use, not pocket (I have some, and use them w/o stuffing) with leg elastic that is comfy on tot, and MUST grow in size!

    Reply

  11. I’m not sure what my favorite is, my husband would probably say just cloth diapering in general! He thinks I may have a slight obsession. I would have to say my current favorite is her BG 4.0’s because they fit my skinny girl so well! But I would really like my favorite to be an AIO.

  13. I don’t have a perfect diaper yet, baby girl won’t be here till sept. I am getting excited about the AIOs though

    Reply

  14. We’ve only been cloth diapering for 3 months, so I haven’t tried enough to have found the “perfect” diaper. There are little things I would change on all our current diapers, however the FuzziBunz One Size Elite is my current favorite

  15. I don’t know what my perfect cloth diaper is yet. I am just getting started…as in researching before I make any purchases starting :) Your blog has helped point me in a few different directions. Thank you for that :)

  16. The best cloth diapers that I have come encounter with are…my homemade ones! I’m always willing to try something new though!

  17. I’m four months pregnant and planning to cloth diaper my little one…our first! The world of cloth diapering is very overwhelming with lots of ups and downs…very curious about this “almost perfect” diaper!

    Reply

  18. I don’t know what my perfect cloth diaper is because I am completely new to this. It is very intimidating to find the “right one”. I want an AIO that will work with my soon to be potty training 2yr old (25lbs) and my new baby to be at the end of October. Hoping I win this one to see what all the cloth diapering fuss is about!!! :o) Thank you for the great giveaway!

  19. This diaper looks great! Right now I am really loving the BumGenius Freetime but i love trying out a variety of different diapers.

  20. I’m 8 months pregnant with our son (we have a 2-year-old) and we’re trying cloth for the first time! So I’m not sure what the perfect cloth diaper looks like, but I’m looking forward to finding out :)

  21. These look fantastic! Getting excited to start cloth diapering on my little one (who should be here any day… he’s decided to make a fashionably late entrance to this world).

    Reply

  25. I don’t think I’ve found the “perfect” cloth diaper yet. I have many I LOVE, but they’re all great for different reasons.

    Reply

  26. Leg gussets, hook and loop, 100% adorable… and of course no leaking! Those are some important factors. I’ve started making my own! I’m not an expert seamstress, but I have enough know-how to make a good diaper. In fact, I’m barely above novice level. I’ve been working on my own design and I think I’ve finally figured out the PERFECT design. I’m so excited. My design is a pocket diaper with PUL and silk-smooth athletic wicking.

    Reply

  27. My perfect cloth diapers are prefolds and Thirsties wraps! I haven’t found any AIO or pocket that gets as great a fit, washes & dries as easily, or stays in such good condition for so long.

  28. My husband and I want a big family and I am making it my goal to have cloth diapering ready for number 3… Number 2 is 7.5 months and now that I’m off for summer and able to figure this cloth diapering thing out, I’m ready to switch her over!!

    Reply

  30. Hmmm… our perfect cloth diaper… Well, it changes! Currently, my favorite is the Bum Genius Elementals just cuz they’re so easy. But 95% of ours are getting pretty worn out and have holes like crazy.
    I also love our GroVia covers with simple pad-folded flats (they are so easy to ensure they’re clean with our very hard water, and dry super fast).
    And our fav nighttime dipes are Itti Bitti Bitti Boo’s with a Thirsties Duo Wrap cover.
    The Chelory sound awesome! I’d LOVE to try it out!!

  31. I am pregnant again at 40! I used cheap cloth diapers the first time around (13 years ago!) as there weren’t as many options then. They actually worked ok, but I’m excited to be able to find something that doesn’t require those nasty diaper pins. I’m looking forward to trying better constructed diapers this time around as well. I’m going to keep coming back to this blog for more great reccommendations for cloth diapers.

  33. Right now my favorite is my Sustainablebabyish. It keeps my little man dry all night, which is a big feat!

    Reply

  34. My first baby is due early September. And I’ve been researching for weeks. Not sure which one will be the perfect cloth diaper. Hopefully this one.

    Reply

  35. My perfect cloth diaper? Hmmm, I guess it depends. I’m really enjoying my Rumparooz OS pockets with a hemp 6-r insert especially because of the double gussets (or as I tell my husband, the poop catcher, haha), but I find myself reaching for my Blueberry Deluxe OS pockets with the Blueberry combination insert (has microfiber on top with two layers of hemp underneath) most of the time. Perfect nighttime for us though is either a Lollidoo Eco-Pocket with a Rumparooz bamboo 6-r insert with a Babykicks large hemp insert, or the same insert combination inside a Kawaii Goodnight Heavy Wetter. I have been wanting to try an AIO for a while, so obviously hoping I win. =)

  36. I would love to try this diaper, I’ve been cdiapering for a year now and loving it! Always on the hunt for the perfect diaper!

  37. I would love to give this diaper a try as we are having a very hard time right now with cloth. I cannot get them clean enough and they stink.

    Reply

  39. We used BumGenius one-size CDs with my daughter. They worked beautifully for 2 years until they stopped absorbing. No amount of stripping has helped, so we are on the hunt for replacements for kid #2 due this fall. We would love to try these out!!

  40. Prefect? That is a hard Question. My family really like the GroVia AI2 with Velcro — Except the velcro. Honestly if GroVia put some good quality BG velcro on there diaper I would say Prefect period.

    On infant I was very happy with the thirsties s1 and joey bunz inserts. Now we have some bummis covers with prefolds, which I do like except not trim enough for a 2 year old trying to learn to dress himself.

    Sigh

  41. I don’t have a perfect CD yet, but have been really enjoying the grovias. I am diapering my first child and so far it’s going great!

  42. Right now I think the Grovia AIO is my favorite, if not perfect, diaper. I’d love to try this one as a freebee

  43. I recently found out that hubby and I are expecting our first baby! We have been talking about trying out cloth diapering and your blog has been SOOO helpful! This diaper looks wonderful! I hope to be able to try it out! Thanks for all the help! :)

  45. Oh would love to have one on those diapers. I have cloth diapered two out of my three children and number 4 is due the 20th of this month and I am having a blast reorganizing and going through cloth diapers.

    Reply

  46. I’m due in 5 days (!), so I’ve got a ton of brands to try. Surely one of them will become my favorite!

    Reply

  47. I would love to try one of these. I’ve been hesitant to try another HTG diaper, since I have a full stash of RagaBabes. However, I’m realizing that I need to try others to hopefully find perfection!

    Reply

  48. Would love to try one of these for my little guy! I’ve tried so many and still haven’t found “the one.”

  50. I don’t have a fav- I am just dipping my toes into CDing. :) so I am still looking for that “perfect one”

    Reply

  51. I don’t have a favorite diaper yet as our little one is coming in August. I didn’t CD my son but wish I had… So far we have a few different pocket diapers and I’m planning to sew my own prefolds and covers!

    Reply

  52. I don’t think I have a perfect diaper, but my homemade ones work really well made with flannel and terry cloth. I tried a couple of microfiber and didn’t like them, plus after reading many many stories, I take it that they are hard to get clean, mine are not. Never had to strip them after almost 2 years. They may be bulkier and not so cute looking, but the price was right and they work. I’ve just never had the budget to pay more than 5 or ten dollars per diaper. That’s why I had to make my own if I wanted more than flats or prefolds.

  53. I cloth diapered many years ago–Gdtr cloth diapered twins that are now 3. I made all different kinds of diapers AIO- and many others. If she has more we will try any of them–and then get a bunch of what she loves. She has passed her collection around to more than one person. To begin with I was unable to locate PUL , some she used ready made plastic pants, then as material came avalible I made covers for the cloth snaps, then AIO–I don’t think other than drying time there was ever an issue. I love making and keep supplies on hand for sewing. Wish I had more people in favor of cloth. They could more than save with the cloth–compared to landfill diapers. Cheers to all that are willing to do a little XTRA washing—

  54. I don’t have a perfect cloth diaper yet, LO isn’t due until November but I am researching to try and hopefully find the ‘perfect cloth diaper’.

  59. My baby won’t be here until September but the Best Bottoms system is the perfect diaper I’m leaning towards. I’m sad I don’t hear much about them but every review I read is mostly positive. :(

    Reply

  61. Currently my perfect diaper is the Softbums OMNI. I have a hard to fit baby and I can get this diaper to fit her perfectly. The fact that I can get extra use out of the cover by using it as an AI2, or stuff it if Grandma is baby sitting is a bonus. My only regret is that I didn’t know about this diaper when I first started CD-in, because I’m pretty sure they would make up the majority of my stash!

    Reply

  62. We tried out 1st Chelory AIO today with snaps. I did like the fit. I think I snapped it too tight because her back was red where the elastic was. So tomorrow (I’m washing it don’t worry) I will try doing the snaps looser. I do LOVE Doodle Dypes, Rgagbabe and Chelory so far. I prefer WAHM brands hands down. :)

    Reply

  64. I haven’t found anything I’d consider close to perfect yet. I wish I could afford to buy all the kinds I want to try. As for what I have I reach for the Softbums Omni or Bumkins AIOs first. I’m thinking about sewing some myself so they’ll have all the aspects I want in one diaper.

    Reply

  65. I can’t say that I have a favorite — different designs are great for different needs! But I do love natural fibers or combos with natural fibers for inserts, it really makes a big difference!

    Reply

  66. No idea yet since I’m still waiting for LO to come! I would love to try this one out though when he arrives :)

    Reply

  69. I’ve only been CD’ing a little over a month, so I don’t really have a perfect diaper… Most of my stash is Charlie Banana one size pockets and I’ve been pretty happy with them.

  76. I’ve been interested in Chelory since I heard about them. You know how it is, when something is sooo hard to get you wonder if it’s worth all the fuss.

  77. I don’t have a perfect diaper, but I haven’t tried as many as you have! I think different diapers work better for different situations. I am a fan of the BumGenius Elementals, and Swadlebees Simplex.

  81. With new baby due any day now and I have never been an AIO fan with my other two that I CDered, I would love to try something that receives such rave reviews.

  85. I’ve recently tried the Chelory AI2s, and I was greatly surprised, too! I am switching from a mostly fitted stash to a mostly AI2 stash, and it is proving to be difficult to find a true AI2 that fits great and does not leak. Chelory is one of my new favorites! Another fave right now is Guerilla Fluff Caliber AI2.

  88. We are still in search of the elusive “perfect diaper” but the two that come closest are the Swaddlebees Simplex 2.0 and Totsbots Easyfit.

  103. My favorite or best diaper combo is probably one that I sewed myself: a fitted diaper (closes with a snappi) and then a NykiBaby diaper cover.

  105. I’ve been cloth diapering for close to 3 years and I can’t find the perfect diaper. I find issues with all. I’ve tried Fuzzibunz, Happy, Hienies, BG Pocket, Blueberries, Kissaluvs, Thirsties. My favorite would be the Blueberries (pockets) and Thirsties (cover).

    Reply

  106. Well, seeing as we haven’t started using them yet I have NO idea! But I’m working on a stash, and reading, learning, watching you tube reviews etc. in the hopes of finding my fave!

    Reply

  107. My perfect cloth diaper changes over time—and we never get total perfection, just close. At night, we use RagaBabes and SoftBums Omnis. As the weather gets hot, in the day I prefer fitteds because my little one gets heat rashes very easily. Overall, I use AI2s most often, but you can’t beat the ease of an AIO. I’ve heard great reviews of Chelory.

  115. I don’t have a perfect diaper. I’m still in the process of researching cloth and trying to decide if it’s really for my 10 month old or not. I really want to save money and I’m trying to figure things out. It’d be nice to try it out on something free. ;)

  117. Hmmm, I stayed away from the AIO’s because of the longer drying time but this diaper has me interested now.

  118. I haven’t figured out what my perfect cloth diaper is. I haven’t been had the money to buy much to experiment. So far all I’ve used is pre-folds with covers, handmade pocket fitteds with covers and regular pocket diapers. I love the ease of the pocket diapers the best but I like the washing ease of the pre-fold.

  141. Much to my surprise, out of my stash of cloth diapers (mostly prefolds, doublers, Thirsties, a few BG 4.0s), my current fav cloth diapers on my 15 mo are gDiapers due to fit/trimness and lack of funk. I am having an odor issue with all of my prefolds & thirsties – can’t seem to nip it in the bud. Using the gDiapers + biodegradable inserts has temporarily resolved that issue – but I prefer to not have to buy the inserts. Coming in 2nd would be BG 4.0s. The top layer really REALLy wicks away moisture. I love that on my kiddo’s sensitive bum!

  153. This looks like a really nice diaper. I use to cloth diaper my children many moons ago. Now I am adopting my grand nephew. We are stocking up on cloth diapers. I am so impressed with all the choices there are now. Would love to try one of these.

    Reply

  155. Bamboo is by far my favorite cloth diaper material. We’ve been using Kawaii minky bamboo diapers for overnight and they are amazing. He’s 8 months now and sleeping through the night and I never have to worry about leaks. I love hemp products too but the stink they acquire after awhile is not my favorite.

    Reply

  156. I think my “perfect” CD would depend on the situation, but right now for my exclusively breast fed infant, the Thirstie’s Duo Diaper is wonderful. The inner gussets that contain the poo explosions is what makes it perfect for me.

    Reply

  157. The closest to a “perfect cloth diaper” for us are the BG and homemade. Homemade are my solution to a almost perfect diaper.

  159. I don’t have one perfect diaper. I love my Ragababes, as well as my Sustainablebabyish OBFs with a cover. But prefolds and my Thirsties Duos are pretty great!!

    Reply

  160. I like the one Chelory AIO that I have. Super cute print, great velcro, nice fit. The only complaint I have is that it isn’t very easy to rinse off, but I don’t use a sprayer so that is part of the problem. Would love to win another. :)

  161. So far, the clossest to perfect diaper that I have found has been ragababe. I’m super excited to try this though!

  163. Major love for BG 4.0. It’s our go-to diaper every time. Going out?…BG. Nap time and night time diaper?…BG. Anytime diaper?….BG! :) Fits well, washes nicely, and no leaks ever!

    Reply

  164. hmmm….we don’t really have a perfect diaper, but we do love SBISH for nighttime and rumparooz during the day!

    Reply

  165. Still working on finding that perfect one. Need trim for Charlotte’s hip issues, need absorbent because she’s a heavy wetter, and l.o.n.g. because she’s blowing the expectation that she’ll he short out of tye water. ;)

    So far at night, best bottom diapers with the extra layer.

  166. I LOVE that Rachel is getting recognition for her fabulous talent. I’ve been clothe diapering for almost 6 years and was convinced of the Bum Genius. They were really the only diapers I’d “invest” in as everything else really didn’t meet their standard.
    Until Chelory. Rachel is actually a friend of ours. Her and her husband are great friends of my husband from high school. So when I was pregnant with #4 I knew for sure I wanted Rachel to make me a stash but at the same time I was hesitant to change what worked for me.
    Boy was I happy I made the change! WOW. WOW. WOW! I use both the Chelory AIO and the Chelory WI2. The AIOs fit my baby perfectly since 4wks and she has NEVER had a leak at all in the AIOs. Awesomeness! The WI2 are a little different with snap in liners. My babe is now 10 weeks and just starting to fit perfectly into them and she very rarely leaks out of these dipes.
    And as far as perfection, Rachel absolutely LOVES what she does and it shows in every aspect of the diapers.

  167. Not sure if I have a perfect dipe. I have dipes that are perfect for certain situations. bG 4.0 with an organic flip for nights, Peachy Green AIO or AI2 for trim options while out of the house, and pfs for a cheap day-to-day around the house dipe. I don’t think I could ever have just one favorite. :)

  169. perfect? i guess the closest we’ve come are kissaluvs fitteds with a thirsties or rumparooz cover and lately we have been relying on kawaiis at night b/c we were getting some wicking w/ the kissaluvs onto my son’s shorts at the legs.

  174. I use to think I was a pocket girl.. until I found an all in one that was absorbant and dried quickily… swaddlebees simplex. I’d love to see if something could beat those!

  175. I am exploring the various CD’s for my daughter who is pregnant with my first grandson. I wish these diapers had been around when I was raising my kids, but that’s pee-pee under the bridge, I guess! Thanks for making this information and opportunity available!

    Reply

  177. Our perfect cloth diapers are any of the bumGenius ones! My husband claims they are the easiest for him to get on right, they fit our daughter well and we rarely have leaks (plus I love the trimness of the Elementals).

  179. I don’t have one perfect diaper either, but I have diapers I love for different occasions. GroVia, Sbish, Kawaii GNH, Nifty Nappy.

  180. My current perfects- bamboozle fitteds with woolybottoms/wcw (same pattern) soaker or bumby longies, and rainshine designs AI2.
    Autumn- I am totally with you on the evening diaper change- around 7pm I’m thinking, do I ‘waste’ a daytime diaper, put her night one on, or can she hold off for a little longer…?

    Reply

  182. I want to try these! I love CD, but the babysitter(aka my mom) and husband don’t. Everytime I get home from work my sons is in disposables. They say that his bum was sore. It would be great if I found something that would make them love CDing like I do!

  194. It’s not perfect, but the ones I love the most, pull out first, and keep going back to are my BG 4.0. Love the prints on the chelory and would like to try it out!

    Reply

  195. I haven’t found the perfect cloth diaper yet. We are cloth diapering on a budget, so I don’t have a lot of extra funds to try out new diapers. I like the ones that I have so far, but they all have their little issues. I think my favorite diaper that we are trying out has been the Sweet Pea diaper covers. They fit really well, contain any and all messes, and are really cute.

    Reply

  196. I love trying new brands, in search of a perfect diaper! Right now I love the Ones and Twos! There are bad reviews of them out there, claiming bad leaks, but it is the most reliable diaper I own!

  197. I definitely have not found the perfect cloth diaper. I’ve been sooo disapointed in my newborn stash! Hopefully my one size stash will work out better! I would love to try one of these!

  201. We’re still looking for a “perfect” diaper, but so far I’m impressed by Fuzzibunz Elite OS. I’m in love with the internally adjustable elastic, and the diaper is trim enough that I can actually fit jeans on my chunky baby. :)

  202. I love the aio, they are by far my fav diaper. But with limited income I can’t really afford to get a stash of them. But man are they cute and i love the drying alternative!

  203. My perfect diaper lately is a flat and cover, since I can’t seem to defunk the pockets, and have had NO LEAKS with flats, at all.

  209. The perfect diaper would be a self cleaning one!!! But since that’ll never happen, I say great absorbency and slim fit.

    Reply

  210. We don’t have a “perfect” yet as our babe won’t be here for four more weeks, but ones I love the craftsmanship on are Ragababe, Softbums and the Peachy Greens that I have seen from a friend’s stash.

    Reply

  211. I really like the one tutti bitti that we have. It’s a little on the snug side for my older boy, but fits perfect my one yr old. We mostly use kawaii, and bg thrown in but I have a couple of random other diapers.

    Reply

  213. Our closest to perfect diapers are our Gro-via AIOs. They are very trim and fit very well on my oddly shaped little man. He is thin in the waist but very chunky in the leg and very very tall. The side snap wings are very stretchy and give a fantastic fit. There is a bit of dry time, but they’re worth it in my opinion. They also come in an AI2, but we’re alright with our AIOs. We use them as car trip diapers because they are so absorbent. Our stash is pretty small, consisting of only a few brands, I would LOVE a WAHM diaper. Fingers crossed and good luck mamas!

    Reply

  214. Our perfect diaper at the moment is a bamboo flat and a cover. I’ve tried them all… Flats are the only things that don’t ever get smelly!!

    Reply

  215. My perfect diaper right now is the Pocket Change size small pocket diaper. I love a trim sized diaper with a double pocket to allow the insert to agitate out on its own.

  217. I have not met the Perfect diaper! Just like the perfect man, im sure its out there but its also different for each of us! Since i just have a newborn, my second to cloth diaper, fuzzi bunz are working great! I would love to try her one size! See If it can make it from newborn to potty training! I hope i win!

    Reply

  218. I think our perfect diaper is a Rump-A-Rooz. They fit DD wonderfully and she’s never leaked out of any of them. We have one that ended up delaminating (bought it used) and use that as a swim diaper. It’s held up to two times in the pool when she pooped in it! Other than the RaR, Fuzzibunz OS is another perfect diaper for us. Great fit, no leaks, etc.

    Reply

  221. As far as fit, absorbency, drying time, ease of use, I would have to say BG Freetimes, but I haven’t tried a Chelory AIO yet. I do love my AI2s though.

    Reply

  224. right now our perfect diaper is either the Totsbots easyfits AIO diapers (have always gotten a great fit on it) or the Ragababe 2step snapped diaper. Dislike the snapless on that one, needs to have the snaps!

  225. Nothing is perfect but I love the fit of Ragababe, BG 4.0, fuzzibunz perfect size & Chelory on my LO :)

    Reply

  230. The perfect diaper? Hm… I love diapers that wash easily and dry quickly, so my current favorite is flats trifolded. I’ll have to see what my favorite cover is when the new baby comes along. For my daughter my favorite cover was a chelory wool wrap with adjustable elastic. She only uses trainers for nights now, so it doesn’t get much use anymore, but I’m saving it!

  231. There isn’t a perfect cloth diaper for us. For my middle son BG 4.o worked really well. But the don’t fit my third as well. We really like Ragababe though.

  232. I love the thinness in the crotch of GroVias with the hour glass shape of Best bottoms – it makes for a very trim diaper, which I really like. I don’t have a nighttime love yet.

  233. I can’t say that I have one perfect diaper but my favorites are BGEs, Tots Bots Easy FIts and Fuzzibuns small.

  243. I don’t think I’ve met a “perfect” diaper… ;-) But I’m a flats and prefolds with wool covers gal so that might be why. Anyway, my favorite right now with my 16m daughter is a organic cotton flat, origami fold, with her funky sock monkey longies… so cute!! When she was an infant we always reached for the sbish flats but not so much now that she’s bigger.

    Reply

  244. I’ve yet to find it, but my favorite would be one that didn’t seep out the back overnight with just one insert!

    Reply

  245. I love my Softbums Omni, stuffed or snapped, microfiber or bamboo, I don’t think I’ve ever had a leak (after the perfect fit was found). My boy is tall, with a crazy skinny waist and thunder thighs, so the snap down rises don’t work very well most of the time.

    Reply

  246. The closest to perfect so far is a tie for me: bottombumpers and grasshopper. The side-snapping AI2 style works best here!

    Reply

  247. I don’t have A perfect diaper, but I do have diapers that are pretty perfect for the situation. I also have a pretty varied stash so if next baby is a different shape than my first two, we still have something that fits.

    And, just so you know, I keep a small supply of “lightly” stuffed diapers on hand for that 1-2 hour stretch before bedtime. Because, yes, I also used to have that dilemma. :)

    Reply

  248. No “one perfect” diaper around here. Different diapers for different uses. But I’m very interested in the wicking jersey and the bamboo. And one more put together diaper for Hubby to use is always nice. Here’s to hoping!

  249. Perfect diaper? Hmmm. Trim fitting, absorbent, snaps, AIO; super cute prints; and baby doesn’t poop in it!

  258. I use SupderUndies nighttime diapers at night for my 4 year old nighttime wetter. I was using the training diapers for during the day with my 3 year old for long trips or outings, but despite the fact he is average size, the size recommended for him is too snug. Can’t send them back now because they have been washed and dried (I think perhaps they shrunk a little in the wash :(

  261. I would love to try this diaper. I’m especially interested in the Jersey as my daughter gets rashes from micro suede.

  264. I’m still new to clot diapering and on a really low budget…so I haven’t been able to try a whole lot out yet. I have gDiapers, various china-made pockets, a Wahmies pocket, vintage Gerber velcro covers, and Thirsties covers. So far I really prefer my prefolds with Thirsties covers during the day and a couple of the pockets work really well at night. The hubby loves the gDiapers.

    I’m still on the hunt for something that’ll make me say “oh I just love this diaper!”

  269. oh, just wanted to mention–I have three SB Econappis that had microfiber/bamboo inserts and you are right–bamboo rules! They soaked up more than my BG’s stuffed w/ both inserts!

    Reply

  270. The easiest diapers I have are probably my Bum Genius 3.0 or 4.0s, but IDK if they are perfect since they don’t fit newborns. I have 6 newborn BG AIOs to try out with this baby, and I’m interested in seeing how I like them. I’ve never tried AIOs before.

    I am one of those weird mamas who actually uses flats w/ covers, lol. I just bought the BG for my MIL to use so my son could stay in cloth when I went back to work. I really liked WeeHuggers covers. They were pretty close to perfect. I can’t think of one complaint about them, actually! The size was great, there were gussets (LOVE gussets), the inside has bamboo flaps to hold flats, prefolds, etc. in place that don’t feel wet even when the insert does, yup–pretty perfect! I bought several of these when Swaddlebees and Blueberry diapers sold them. SB and BB are my go-to brands and they have never disappointed either. I LOVE all of my covers from them–Swaddlebees ABC Snap Wraps, Blueberry mini coveralls, Blueberry one size coveralls, Blueberry minky diaper covers…do you see a pattern? lol

That’s when our next baby is due. :) I don’t know that I ever found a perfect diaper with my two cloth diapered babies so far. I guess the ones I liked the best were the old style Fuzzi Bunz. I’ll have to start over again with this baby since my silly hubby tossed my entire stash a couple of years ago. It seems like there are a lot of new diapers out there I’d never heard of before so I’d love to try this one. :)

  292. I love Ragababe but they are expensive for a sized diaper so my 10 week old had just 1 nb sized one and we loved it until he outgrew it. My 2 year old has an entire stash in size Large that my baby will eventually use. I may just have to try one of these. I have one of the organic AIOs but it isn’t stay dry.

    Reply

  302. I really only used a few AIO’s for when my baby was a newborn. Since then I’ve switched over mostly to pocket diapers (BumGenius, a couple of Fuzzibunz, and two Rumparooz). I’ve really enjoyed the Rumparooz on my boy, but this is my firstborn and I’m still only a few months into cloth diapering. I’d be interested in seeing how AIO’s fair on him now that he’s bigger since we’ve got a clothesline set up and things dry out here ridiculously quickly.

    Reply

  304. Chelory will not fit a newborn. When you snap down to the smallest setting the soaker is crazy bunched and would look and probably feel very uncomfortable. I believe the Chelory website claims it fits bigger babies, or it used to.

  305. I haven’t tried too many different types of diapers but so far I’m in love with kissaluvs fitteds and rumparooz covers. I’m also getting the hang of BG 4.0. Can’t wait to try more diapers as my cloth diaper journey continues. :)

  310. My perfect diaper? Don’t have one yet. Still searching for something easy for hubby, doesn’t leak for my heavy wetters, and doesn’t stink over time in our really hard water! Current favorite pocket brand is Rumparooz, current favorite AIO is Grovia (it took awhile for them to become more absorbant…at first they leaked easily), and favorite new combo I am trying are flip covers with different natural inserts like cotton flats:)

I couldn’t say that any of it is my favorite. It is all so bulky on my little one. Every time we figure things out something else goes wrong. I just knitted some wool soakers for night, but I still need to lanolize them. Hopefully we will figure it out soon. Still like them better than yucky disposables!

Our favorite daytime diaper are best bottoms and our favorite night time diapers are 2 flour sack flats with a hemp doubler or hemp flat in the middle (18 month old) or a flip stay dry on top of an Imagine prefold that is folded around a hemp babies flat (3 year old). Both boys wear Imagine covers overnight. I would love to try bamboo though!

    Reply

  339. my perfect diaper is definitely out of bamboo. it prevents rashes for our little one. i like elementals and grovia aio for their absorbency and trimness. so, if it’s trim, does not leak and does not leave any read marks, it’s great. add bamboo makes it perfect.

    • I’m sure it’s a great diaper but definitely can’t afford it ! That goes into my reasoning when I name the perfect diaper.

  349. I absolutely love *almost* any diaper stuffed with bamboo! It is the ONLY thing to keep my heavy wetter dry for up to 9 hours at night (he sleeps 9 hours,eats and goes back down for another 4ish hours). Right now we use FuzziBunz OS Elites with a minky and a large bamboo insert. Would love to try this bamboo-stuffed AIO! Hubs would love not to have to stuff a night time dipe haha
