Fitted Diapers
OK, today's will be very brief. I have never used a fitted diaper nor had any desire to purchase one. I believe the prefolds worked just fine for me.
Best explanation for a fitted I found.
This is the most common brand of fitteds I have seen on ebay, Kissaluvs. I do recommend purchasing them from ebay whenever possible.
My understanding is they are like a prefold, but shaped with elastic leg opening and closures on the front. But they still require a cover. So to me, I think, why not just go the extra step and get the all-in-one or pocket? You however may like the idea of fitteds.
I believe they get their name from the snug fit they provide versus a prefold which is quite bulky. I mentioned needing to go up a size in clothes for your baby when wearing the prefolds and perhaps the fitteds don't require this as much. I know the all-in-ones don't.
Here is something I'd like to try one day with our chinese prefolds just to see. I will of course post it and the results.
I have my sewing machine and I am adventuring with it already so posts about sewing for beginners that worked for me will be forthcoming!
My big problem with fitteds is the cost. They still require covers so you are paying more than the price of a prefold for simply a snugger fit. Which if you are one to take your child out in clothies may be a good idea actually!
And again, as soon as I make my own I will try them out, but I am not willing or able to invest in them as a try out.
Let me know what you think of yours if you use them!
