What Is A Hybrid Fitted Cloth Diaper?

A hybrid cloth diaper is a cross between an all-in-one and a fitted cloth diaper.

An AIO is fully waterproof due to the PUL layer.  While a fitted diaper requires a cover due to the absence of a waterproof layer.

So, what makes it a hybrid?

One of the first WAHMs to produce a hybrid fitted was Anne of Little Boppers.  Here is the description from her Etsy store defining a hybrid fitted:

What is a “Hybrid Fitted”? It is a fitted diaper that has a hidden body layer of poly fleece, sandwiched between the outer print and the inner velour. This layer of poly fleece helps the diaper to be more effective.

Liquid hits the fleece layer and is deflected back into the absorbent inner, soaking up into the rest of the soaker pad and inner velour instead of just saturating the middle and immediately needing a change. The hybrid fitted is still a “fitted” diaper, meaning it is breathable and it isn’t totally waterproof. It would require the use of a cover to be considered waterproof.

Many folks like to use these coverless around the house because they are more water-resistant than a regular fitted. They are not as waterproof as AIOs or AI2s made with PUL, but they are more breathable than them.

Here is a list of shops selling the popular hybrid fitted:

Update of list in progress…

I could go on and on and I encourage you to post your favorite hybrid fitted!

The one thing I highly recommend is to like the store’s Facebook page.  On the Facebook page you will see details of stocking times and previews of what is to come.  There are oftentimes a b/s/t (buy/sell/trade) page on Facebook as well.

Plenty of opportunities to try out a hybrid fitted!!

    Ok, I know I sound like a dork but how does one ever acquire these coveted yummy fluffies? Every time I go on the websites or HC everything is gone. I don’t have time to play games and cruise the net forever, but I definitely want to try one of these on my rash prone girlie! Any advice to an old cloth diaper who’s a newb at this type of problem?

      Make a note of when the stores stock. These diapers are made by one mom and they can only sew so many per week. I know it can be frustrating but thankfully there are many wahms that make diapers!

      Hi, I’m K, and I have a WAHM page on facebook called Chunky Monkey Products and I make fitted hybrid diapers. I do not have “stocking times” but am always taking orders for custom items. This means you all can pick out your fabric and I’ll sew it up for you and get in the mail with in 2 weeks. Just wanted to drop a little note tooting my own horn, hope that is okay. These really are my new favorites, and I’m selling off most of my diapers to replace with my fitted hybrids.

          Your welcome, thanks for schooling me on what a fitted hybrid is. I had never heard of them til I stumbled across this article and I am in love with them! My little bean has been having the worst trouble with a teething diaper rash and I just couldn’t get it to clear up on her. Started making these for her to try out and it is clearing up her bum nicely, think it’s the more breathableness (is that a word?) of not using the pul, but it is working wonders on her poor little bum, and I’m not having to use a pul cover over them.

    earthLINGZ are new breed of fitted hybrid. They are amazing! The shells are 2 layers of poly fleece, with no hidden layers… which means no wicking of moisture to the outer fabric! They stay dry coverless all the way up until the soaker is saturated and it’s time for another diaper change! Check them out at etsy.com/shops/earthLINGZdiapers

    Can anyone say how long these might last until feeling wet? Love the idea of having more breathability but I’m concerned about including them in the rotation for the wonderful sitters I have in place when I head off to work. Would be great if they generally lasted the 2-3 hours we are accustomed to waiting until next diaper change.

      I can answer this now after using them for a couple of weeks. They easily last 4 hours.

I used All About Cloth Diapers when my oldest (now 5) developed an allergy around 6mo to disposable diapers. If it weren’t for this site, I would have switched back to disposables because I was having so many issues with fit and cleaning. This site really helped me to understand how to cloth diaper. I have used the big book every year even after my kids potty trained because there are so many amazing deals for everyday household and personal needs! So glad I found this site and the big book!

This is a great place to learn all there is to know about cloth diapers and the care of them. There is no right or wrong way to cloth diaper. All in one's may work best for one child but flats may work best for another child. You will understand how to care for your cloth diapers so they last you. There is a wealth of information on various brands and wool as well. Highly recommend!
