Nighttime cloth diapering can be a make or break it moment for many cloth diapering parents. Many get so frustrated they throw in the towel completely. Others just use disposable diapers at night and cloth during the day.
One system I have found to be successful for most children is hybrid fitted cloth diapers. If you’re wondering what the difference is between a regular fitted and a hybrid fitted check out What is a Hybrid Fitted Cloth Diaper?
An additional bonus to using a fitted at night is the ability to choose whether you want to cover it with PUL, wool or fleece. Wool and fleece allow for the heat to pass through away from the body which helps prevent rashes and yeast growth.
There are several wahm brands of hybrid fitteds on the market today. Little Dumpers is one I had the privilege of reviewing for you.
Little Dumpers is owned by Rachel Henin. I asked Rachel to share with us a little about her family and Little Dumpers diapers.
I’m a SAHM to a super active 17 month old little boy who is the absolute joy and love of our lives. I have to say I think this is the funnest age! I’ve had a passion for cloth diapers since the first time I stumbled across your site. My passion has maybe sort of turned into an obsession. When I decided to start making cloth diapers my husband was a huge supporter. Without him I probably wouldn’t have succeeded. We all go thru rough days where we don’t think we’re good enough or that we just can’t do it. I didn’t want to give up though as I realized what kind of message would I be sending to my son if I told him you can do anything you want if you stick with it and don’t give up, and then give up myself? I believe in setting a good example.
As for my diapers I have three different types, a Hybrid Fitted diaper which the outside fabric varies between a knit, minky and woven, a hidden layer of polyfleece and a cotton velour / organic bamboo velour inner. As for the soaker it is a petal snap in which has 2 top layers of coordinating cotton velour and SHOBF (super heavy organic bamboo fleece) — with a bottom layer of bamboo hemp fleece. I also have a Newborn diaper, using the same materials but with a lay in soaker. And finally I have a new Night Time diaper, that has a top layer of matching cotton velour and 2 layers of SHOBF — the bottom has a layer of zorb 2 sandwiched between bamboo hemp.
When I first received my Little Dumpers Hybrid Fitted I knew it would be a HUGE hit in my home. Why? Well with 4 boys you can’t go wrong with planes! Camden wanted to keep it. In the last week my boys have become completely obsessed with all things planes or jets.
Finley was the first to try out the diaper. When I put a diaper on for the first time for review purposes I leave it on as long as I can to test out the absorbency. After 5 hours (with no cover) it was still dry on the outside. At that point I go ahead and change the diaper and mark it as possibly nighttime worthy.
After washing it up the diaper then became Camden’s. Camden is potty trained during the day but needs a diaper at night. He doesn’t pee a lot at night so our Little Dumpers diaper hasn’t been put to the “heavy duty toddler pee” test.
As far as fit goes, Camden is 2 1/2, 33lbs and Finley is 6m, 17 1/2lbs and both comfortably wear the diaper. On Camden it fits just perfect. No overlapping snaps, no bulkiness, no sagging. On Finley, naturally there is some bulk but with plenty of snap settings available there are no gaps or wing droop.
Little Dumpers has a very gentle leg elastic making red marks near impossible. Finley has middle of the road chunky thighs and I love how soft this diaper is on him.
Due to the multiple layers of fabric combined to make a hybrid fitted cloth diaper you may be concerned about the drying time. Don’t be! The shell dries very quickly and because of the petal soaker air circulates freely between the layers allowing them to dry in one cycle.
Rachel does a great job at stocking her store with super cute prints! Be sure and check out the Little Dumpers Facebook page and Little Dumpers Hyena Cart store for the next releases.

Sindi says
so I started out not knowing anything about cloth diapers. I did a bunch of research, sat down and spoke with a cloth diaper maker and user, made a pocket diaper, did more research, bought one to study, more research, made some kind of hybrid diapers that I thought would work well and looked good, more research and now I think I am just a step above where I started! Its a bit frustrating because I want to make the best for my family but my first girl doesn’t come out till next month. Anyhow, no need for a pity party. I am so thankful for blogs like this from moms that have been through it all more than once and are sharing their findings. Thank you!
Rumsita says
I LOVE hybrid fitteds! Wish I’d known about them 3 years ago with my first child. I would own a lot more! I’m addicted – I want to try ALL the brands! Clearly that isn’t possible…
Brenda says
I’ve never tried fitteds, let alone hybrid fitted. I’m mostly a pocket gal, but I’d be super excited to be given the opportunity to try something new!

I haven’t tried a hybrid fitted yet! I’m mostly a pocket diaper gal. I’d love to try these for our nighttime option.
Rachel Cowle-Healy says
The link to what is a hybrid fitted is broken. :-( But my understanding is that it’s like an AI2 that is not waterproof. Tongue style, right?
Melanie says
Sounds like an awesome diaper!
Jen B says
I have not tried a hybrid fitted yet but have been very interested in getting one.
Lissa E. says
I have one hybrid fitted, but haven’t put it OTB yet. It’s so cute I don’t want to cover it up and we haven’t been around the house long enough to try it out.
Mandy Mooneyham says
I love hybrid fitteds! They’re perfect for airing out my little one without accidents all over the floor!
Jess says
Until this post, I didn’t know there was such a thing as a hybrid fitted. I’m very interested in this idea.
Nicole Bishop says
Currently I mainly use prefolds and covers at night, but I would like to try this nighttime diaper! My only question would be if the nighttime fitteds are hard to get clean. I have well water but we have a water softener. I’ve had some smell issues with my pockets. I started using prefolds at night because I feel like they are easier to get clean…
Michelle says
Love hybrid fitteds. Cute breathable and leak less
Geri Fink says
We are potty training SLOWLY during the day with trainers so we no longer using regular diapers during the day. However, at night I use hybrids with AWESOME double fleece covers!
Jessie says
I haven’t tried hybrid fitteds, but am still looking for a nighttime solution for my DS. I would love to get rid of the overnight disposables that I’m having to use!

sandra says
I haven,t tried one yet but this would be nice to win and try
Christy says
I haven’t tried them yet. My daughter is potty trained and I’m currently pregnant so I haven’t had the opportunity, but I’m looking forward to them.
Jennifer Allison says
I’ve not tried them. I’m hoping to CD baby #3 and not have major yeast issues like we did with #1.

I haven’t! We hope to CD baby #3 :)
Jennifer Marohn says
No I’ve not tried them, but i’d like to :)
Kelly says
I have only been using cloth diapers since february, when we discovered my baby couldn’t wear disposables. Then I discovered it wasn’t near as bad as what I had expected. She is now 5 months old, and we have been using pocket diapers since she was two weeks. I don’t always use it as a pocket but am needing a different option for nighttime. We are having to use two inserts to keep from soaking the bed. i am looking forward to trying hybrids.
Karie says
I’m new to cloth diapering all together! And I would live to try this new Hybrid diaper.
Amanda Selenke says
I tried one made by Diapers by Chris and love it!
Karianne says
I have a bunch of hybrid fitteds, I can’t get enough of the cute prints!! We use them a lot at summer, but unfortunately they are not absorbant enough for us or they are not good at distributing the moisture within the diaper so they get very little use during winter. Using hemp in the bottom of the soaker is a great idea, that will probably help with both of our problems!! Would love to try one! :-)
Shannon A. says
I haven’t used this particular type of diaper for overnight use. I normally double up a fitted with a hemp or bamboo insert, which is basically the same thing but not an all in one fix. I use fleece covers with my fitteds or overnight.
Crystal says
I have not tried a hybrid fitted yet, but I love my regular fitteds :)
Charlotte R says
I have not tried hybrid fitteds, but LOVE the idea!
Emily M says
I haven’t tried them yet but I’d love to with baby #3 coming soon!
Holly Roloson says
I really can use some thing like this to try out . We got a 1 year old and trying to get her to use the potty. We tried others and worked for the first 6 months. Then she was peeing out of them all the time. We had to go back not using cloth dopers because of it so if this are as good as you say really can use them to try out . Thank you
Cris Ingraldi says
So I am in love with her last stocking the white and black with whale on the back. Sigh. Hopefully luck is in my corner!
