Review: Imagine One Size Cloth Diaper

Feb 102012

My only Black Friday purchase was an Imagine pocket diaper from Nicki’s Diapers! I know, I know, I have too much restraint.

The Imagine One Size Pocket Diaper is a Nicki’s Diapers exclusive. I ordered a Raspberry color on Black Friday. Nicki’s Diapers currently has an introductory price of $9.95 on these pocket diapers, so they are a great deal. (Regular suggested price $13.95.) Nicki’s Diapers also carries other products in their exclusive Imagine Brand.

The Imagine One Size Pocket Diaper fits approximately 8-35 pounds. It has three rows of rise snaps and several rows of double waist snaps for wide adjustability.

The outside lining is a waterproof poly-urethane laminate and the inside is a soft no-pill fleece that acts as a stay-dry barrier between baby and the insert. The insert consists of four layers of microfiber and has snaps to adjust to the diaper’s rise.

I wish the slit in back for stuffing the insert had an overlap of some sort. It wanted to billow open, which could lead to the microfiber insert touching Baby’s skin. However, the opening is large and makes for easy stuffing. I love stuffing pocket diapers with flats, so this can be a plus.

spacer

I liked the snap on the insert, but I definitely need to remember to unsnap it for the dryer or it doesn’t dry well.

The Imagine One Size cloth diaper is fairly large.ย  It was rather bulky on a newborn, but mostly functioned. It unsnaps to a very high rise, so it would be a great diaper for boys and long-waisted babies.

The elastic is very stretchy, so it has a lot of give and is unlikely to leave marks on the waist or thighs.

spacer

The leg openings did gap a bit at first, but have started fitting better recently as my newborn’s thighs have chunked out a tiny bit.

spacer

The Imagine One Size Pocket Diaper is a basic pocket diaper and performs well. Like many one size pocket diapers, the only thing I would change is adding a fourth row of rise snaps and a crossover option at the waist to size it down a bit smaller. The aplix version probably has more waist flexibility. (Actually, the snap configuration on the Imagine is compatible with the GoGreen Adapt-A-Snap converter which gave me the ability to cinch the waist a bit more.) This diaper is available in both snaps and hook & loop. The available colors are bright and fun.

Overall, these pocket diapers are a great deal, especially at the introductory discount price. (Currently $9.95)

Review: Tiny Tush Elite 1.1!

Feb 082012

This Tiny Tush Elite 1.1 was my very first purchase for the new baby. I love this print! I love the way Tiny Tush Elite one size pocket diapers fit my 20 month old son, but I have never tried them out on a newborn before.

spacer

The Tiny Tush Elite 1.1 has four snap down rise rows and a single row of waist snaps. It is designed to fit babies 7-35 pounds or so, but it seems a little wide through the bottom for seven pounds. I have big babies, so I guess I wouldn’t know.

spacer

The inside lining is a polyester fleece that stays dry feeling against the skin and the pocket opening has a reverse flap so that poop doesn’t wedge itself under the flap.

spacer

The envelope opening prevents the microfiber inserts from sticking out at all and irritating baby’s skin.

spacer

I had some serious doubts about the Elites fitting my daughter and was pleasantly surprised. The diaper looks big on her at just over eight pounds, but the waist and legs didn’t gap at all.

spacer

This diaper would be bulky under pants, but it functioned just fine. We had no blowouts and the small insert provided absorbency for longer than even needed. The leg gussets fit surprisingly well for how wide the diaper is between the legs.

spacer

Each Tiny Tush Elite comes with two microfiber inserts. The inserts are generously sized and very plush. Tiny Tush are made in the USA. Some of the older inserts are made from imported microfiber, but you can upgrade to American made inserts when ordering on the Tiny Tush website. The Elite 1.1 retail for $19.95. Tiny Tush recently came out with the Elite 2.0 in lots of cute prints!

These diapers are very well made. Despite the single row of waist snaps and no hip snaps, I have never experienced wing droop with Tiny Tush Elites. The extra wide size between the legs, makes them a bit bulky on a small baby, but they are super easy to stuff. The width allows me to put quite a few inserts inside for overnight absorbency for my toddler. I like how the large insert is long so I can fold it where ever the baby needs more absorbency.

My toddler still has quite a bit of room in his Tiny Tush at 25 pounds, so I have no doubt they last through their size limit. I currently have two of the original Elites and one Elite 1.1 circulating in our cloth diaper stash and I really like them. Mr.JustAddCloth does too apparently, since he seems to reach for them quite often!
