Today I want to talk about a fitted diaper made by ChasingNature Designs.
This one in particular is a tester made out of organic
cotton and bamboo.
Here is its composition:
The insert has 4 layers of absorbency-
2 bamboo fleece layers
1 heavy organic bamboo fleece layer
1 organic cotton velour layer (very soft fussy feeling)
The shell is composed of 3 layers -
1 Organic cotton velour interior
1 Bamboo layer
1 Flannel exterior
Total of 7 layers.
Diaper weight when dry: 4.6 oz
I only have another type of fitted diaper to compare it to,
and that is a Thirsties fitted in size large.
It is one of my overnight solutions.
The Nature Designs diaper is close in weigh but trimmer
around the thighs than the Thirsties.
For nighttime use I outfit the Thristies with an Ikea burp
cloth pad folded. This brings its weight
up from 4.1 oz to 7.2 oz VS the 4.6 of the cotton/bamboo diaper.
When using a Diaper Rite or a Rumparooz cover I usually have
to do a lot of tucking with the Thirsties to get all of it inside the
cover. This is not the case with the
cotton/bamboo diaper, no tucking at all, it fits inside the cover nicely.

I tested this diaper on my 24 lbs 17 mo old daughter. The
first night I used my Diaper Rite cover with it. Baby girl slept for 10 hours straight. The diaper went from weighing 4.6 oz to 11.3
oz in that time span. The weight before
putting in on was 4.6 oz and it weighed 11.3 oz when i took it off her so it
gained 6.7 oz,. It obviously held A LOT
of pee, the beauty of Bamboo, It is VERY absorbent.
It was completely saturated which means it did its job and
there were no leaks around the legs.
There was a small wet spot inch in diameter near the elastic waist of
her pajama shorts on the front. This was
most likely due to the elastic on the shorts slipping into the diaper cover.
She is a tummy sleeper so this happens sometimes.
I also used it with a Rumparooz cover. On that particular night there were no leaks,
It was damp but not dripping wet. It
weighed 8.3 oz when I took it off her,
it must have been a light night with only 3.7 oz gain.
Now to show you how it fits my 24lb toddler.
I really like the feel of this diaper, outside and inside. I
also like it’s trim design because I don’t have to do any tucking. And of
course I like the absorbency. It is
fine as it is for daytime use. For
nighttime use my recommendation for a super heavy wetter diaper is to sew in a
layer of heavy organic bamboo fleece in the actual shell just to give it a
boost. This would be sewn just in the
heavy soaking area from the belly down, not the whole diaper to keep the weight
down.
I should also mention that all products from Chasing Nature
Designs come fully prepped. She preps
them before sewing and then gives them a final wash when finished. I love that!
Saves on a lot of washing and you get to use the fluff right away :-)
Disclaimer: I purchased this tester diaper at a discount in
exchange for feedback on its performance. This blogpost was not solicited and
all the opinions are my own.
Till next time,
Have a happy healthy crunchy day! :-)
