Performance Review:

Ease Of Use: ♥♥♥ -  These are pretty typical as far as ease for a fitted diaper.  Most fitted diapers will have three snaps on each wing and snap in soakers.  I do like that I don't have to fold the soaker, but the fact that there are two soakers attached by one snap each means that they can shift easily.  I then have to line them up which isn't always easy with my crazy boy.

Adjustability & Fit: ♥♥♥♥♥ - I love the fit of these diapers!!!  I get an awesome snug fit on the legs and have room to grow on the waist.  That's saying a lot with my chunky big guy.  Not only that, but this diaper also gets really small so it can also fit a smaller baby as well.  Yes, it's a one-size diaper so the fit isn't perfect on a newborn, but it is doable.  The rise is still a bit high and the diaper a bit bulky, but I do like that you can remove one of the inserts to create a trimmer diaper for a smaller baby.  As for the size of the diaper, it's slightly large and fluffy, but not overly large and fluffy.  It still fits nicely under a cover.

Leak Protection: ♥♥♥♥ - This diaper works really well as far as leak protection.  I can easily let Linc run around the house in this diaper without a cover on and have no fears of finding a sopping wet diaper anytime soon.  This is all thanks to the fact that this is a hybrid diaper.  That means it has a fleece barrier hidden inside that helps to keep the moisture inside the diaper.  It's not waterproof, but it will keep the diaper drier on the outside longer than a regular fitted diaper.  I would also feel ok running a super quick errand in this diaper without a cover.  I've also used this diaper at night with a cover and have had no leaks.  That's about a 12 hour time span.  *Please note that this diaper does require a cover to be waterproof.*

Wash Routine: ♥♥♥♥♥ - These are average on wash routine.  They do dry fast (about 75 min in my dryer), but the inserts come undone in the washer.  This means that I have to spend the time to locate and re-snap in the inserts after washing.  It doesn't take long, but it is an extra step.  

Bang For The Buck: ♥♥♥♥ -  At $21 these diapers are on the low side for a WAHM fitted hybrid diaper.  No, they aren't the cheapest fitted diapers that you can find, but for the quality and cuteness these are a great deal.  Plus they're a one-size diaper so that's another plus.

Quality & Durability: ♥♥♥ - The quality of the diaper shell is really nice.  All the seams are even and straight and the materials look to be of a high quality.  That being said I do have a bit of difficulty with the snaps.  They do snap, but they don't always click in as secure as I would like them to.  I also noticed that the bamboo on the soakers was shrinking more than the velour which created curled edges.  It's not really a function issue, but more an aesthetic issue.

The Look: ♥♥♥♥♥ -  These diapers are super cute!!!  I'm pretty sure that the designer and I are on the same wavelength because every print that she chooses is totally my style.

In Conclusion:
I love this diaper!  I would recommend it to anyone that wants a one-size fitted diaper that is super cute and will hold in moisture for a long time.  I do wish the snaps would click in better, but that's my only big hang up on them.  I will warn you though.  If you go check out her shop, you will want to buy.  These diaper prints are tooooooo cute!!!!!!  I just fell in love with the monster trucks print as soon as I saw it and yep, I just had to buy it.  Linc totally rocks the monster trucks.

    1. Thanks Heather! Maybe one day I'll venture off of the auto setting on my camera. My sister makes fun of me all the time for my auto setting pictures. It's amazing what Windows picture editing can do.

    2. I use auto too. I've kinda figured out the manual settings, but they're more grainy then auto... I keep going back to it even if the flash is too bright.

  10. I have one of these diapers and they are great. Generous fit, so I think they will last us longer than some of our other OS diapers.

  15. love the print and looks like a great fit! I really would love to try a hybrid... they sound like the perfect diaper. I am always afraid my fitteds will get something wet if i don't use a cover but I would feel a lot safer with a hybrid

  16. These are adorable. I definitely like the price!

  17. These are super cute and it's nice to see how it fits on a chubby baby. My girl is skinny but chunking up and it is good to know they would fit even if she becomes a chunker.

  26. I love that they come with two SNAP-IN soakers. I am comforted in knowing the soakers are not going anywhere when they snap in. I am new to cloth diapering and looking forward to getting started when my first little one gets here next month!! Where have the last 7 months gone?! Can't wait for him to be here. Thanks for an informative review! :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love the fabric!! It also looks very trim, so I like that!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I have been having snap issues with some of my diapers (different brand) too. I wonder if maybe it's the snap brand that is the problem. My babies are quite tall; are these diapers high-rise?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Too cute!! Love that it is a one size fitted so I could use it for both my kiddos!

  58. these are beautiful fabric/print options!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I like that you can use one or two inserts! My baby isn't a heavy wetter so I can use just one and get a trimmer fit. Those monster trucks are fun! If I had a boy I would totally choose those. Her price is really competitive too! I am totally hoping to try a hybrid some time!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I'm not sure if my previous comment went through. I would love to try a hybrid! This might not be the first one I go for since it is pricey but the fabric is really cute! I like the snap in inserts and I'm intrigued by the snap down rise.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I love that these have cross over wings for greater sizing options.

  62. $21 is really good. Going to go and check it out now!

  65. Both of the prints in this picture are absolutely adorable! I like that she uses some bamboo velour! I also like that the two inserts come apart for a smaller diaper!
