Fabulously absorbent diapers! I absolutely love these hemp diapers. My son was only 7lb. when he was born and these diapers although they looked large, still held in his big messes. I love the adjustable snaps because these diapers still fit him and I am guessing will fit him possibly through potty training. The customer service at Crickett is unbelievable too- they really stand behind their product.

I really love these diapers. I've used them exclusively since my son was a month old and he's nine months now. They do not leak. They do not chafe. They do hold their shape and remain easy to fasten.
At first, I was confused as to how to fit them on our small baby, so I emailed Crickett's and got a reply from Mr. Crickett with clear directions within 15 minutes. Talk about service! I plan to buy a new, larger set in a few months.

I really liked this fitted at first and wanted something that would be bulletproof for overnights. This was for awhile but lately it has been the last one we reach for. My main complaint is that it stinks terribly once it's wet. It also isn't as absorbant as our organic cotton fitteds (Dream-eze) and those fit DS better as well and are softer.
I will say that it is absorbant enough usually but I now have to add in a Hemp Babies doubler or else I'll have leaks. DS is only 6 months old and the smaller size is reaching it's capacity already. He's actually on the smaller side as well so I would have hoped that this would have fit longer. Overall, I won't be purchasing another one.

These diapers are a great price for fitteds and they do fit really well. They didn't fit my 6 lb 7 oz baby right away though. I would have given these a 5, but like other reviewers said, they do get rough after a few washings. If you are interested in trying fitteds, I would order a Crickett diaper to try.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE our Cricketts!! :) This is a fantastic product, we've got two happy bums because of these diapers...and a happy husband who hates using any other diaper that we have because the Cricketts are super user friendly! Great absorbancy and fit. I've also bought used Cricketts and these diapers are just as great as our new ones!

During the day we're a prefold household but at night this diaper is our go to. When we got our first to try out we started washing diapers every other day so we wouldn't have to go two nights sans Crickett's - oh and it is still quite thick to the touch. We purchased an extra Crickett's lay in doubler and have never had to change during the night and by morning the outer diaper layer is usually dry.
The diaper seemed big when we received it in the mail but shrunk down. This diaper has ample room for our tall toddler to keep growing and fits well on her legs. Other fitteds claiming to last until 35+ pounds our very short in rise on our lady and at 24 pounds 33 inches tall I can't imagine them making it much longer.
This diaper gets a tad rough even in a dryer - in the way all hemp products do. We haven't had issues but we also use fleece liners so it may irritate delicate skin, but we wouldn't know. This is not the diaper for families looking for super soft fluff.
Crickett's has a great return policy and the diaper is super reasonably priced so I recommend buying one giving it a try and move forward from there. In summary this diaper rocks because it is highly absorbent, has ample room for toddlers to grow, stays thick after many washes, and will make it through the night, especially if you get an extra lay in doubler.

I bought this dipe for a night-time solution for my heavy wetter-a toddler boy who sleeps on his tummy. At first I loved it, but we did have occasional leaks even w/ a doubler. As time went on I got tired of the long drying time and too many leaks. I returned the dipe to Crickett's for a full refund. Crickett has an awesome try-it policy and is very sweet. I do say try the dipe-it could be for you. It's just not our night-time dipe like I hoped it would be.

I notice the vast majority of these reviews are from people who have only owned these diapers a few months.
I am updating my review after over a year of use.
My daughter outgrew the newborn size at 6 months of age and 17 pounds. As many have already said, the rise is too small and the fitting of the snaps is off.
I bought the toddler size, 10 to be exact. I might have washed these twice weekly with the recommended soaps. They were outing diapers only and not in heavy rotation.
- After less than a year of use, ALL of them are wearing thin around the snaps with holes in them.
- Some of them are becoming threadbear on the inside.
- The elastic is shot in the backs of the diaper and around the legs on some of them.
- The fabric is extremely scratchy and has aggravated her eczema from time to time.
I used to recommend these diapers but I can no longer do so.
I invested a lot of money into them and thought they would be a mainstay in our stash through our next child but I will be lucky to get through just ONE child.
Please be aware before you purchase.

I didn't have any issues with absorbency, but I found the fit of these diapers to be all wrong for my babe. It seems no matter how tight I snap them, the leg openings are too loose, and the waist ends up being too tight. I thought the price was great, and the idea of less sizes is what intrigued me, along with all the good reviews. But these are the last thing I reach for now in my stash because of the awkward fit. Im glad they arent the only kind I have!

I really was hoping to love these diapers since I'd read so many great reviews, but I've found others that I prefer. Maybe I need to keep trying to see if they fit better as my little guy gets bigger (1) for a better physical fit and (2) so that leaks from EBF poop won't be an issue. If there were more snaps at closer intervals, maybe I could get a better fit...?
PROS:
-Relatively absorbent
-Versatile sizing (NB to 26 lbs)
CONS:
-EBF poop leaks every time
-Bulky
-Too tight around the waist, too loose around the thighs for my little guy
-Very stiff/crunchy after drying

This is a very high quality, versatile diaper. My son will be one in a few weeks and still fits in the newborn size. He wears these every night and on longer car trips because they are more absorbent than any other diaper we've tried. The snap-in doubler is a great feature!

My husband and I LOVE these diapers. They make up the best half of our stash (the other half being prefolds.) DH was a little hesitant about cloth diapering our twins, fearing it would be too much work, but these diapers has made a believer and advocate of him. He brags about his ""Cricketts"" whenever he can! We started using them when our girls were five months old. Even then, these dipes were great - totally absorbent and easy to use. But now that our twins are 17 months old and sometimes fight diaper changes, it's a pleasure to be in and out of the diaper with only a few snaps. Good for grandparents and babysitters too. The snaps also make laundry easy.
Very clever design! The pattern has worked perfectly for us so far, and gives us a lot of options for fit. Also excellent quality. We use them in fairly heavy rotation and they've held up well. I can see our toddler diapers thinning after 9 months of use, but there's a lot of life left in them. I think they will outlast their need, which is ideal.
Very reasonable price!
Things to keep in mind:
We do prefer the hemp diapers, for fit and softness. My babies grew out of the newborn size early. Finally, prepping the diapers was hard on my washing machine.
Overall, these are fantastic diapers!

After 2 and a half months of use, I am pleased with this purchase. I bought this specifically to be a nighttime diaper for my son, now 5 months. He really hates a wet diaper and I don't want him waking up at night because he feels wet. These work really well, no leaking. They definitely get soaked at night but I have so far not found anything that works better.

After all the research I did, I was sure these were going to be our CDs of choice. However, I found we're just not a fitted diaper family, we do the pocket diapers. I found these to be extremely bulky under my son's clothes. I also realized, because hemp is so absorbant, it also takes much longer to dry in the dryer or on the line. Our microterry inserts from our pocket diaper dry completely in one dryer round, where these would take three or more than a day on the line even if partly dried in the dryer. I think the elastic gathering makes it harder to dry as well, doesn't lie flat. I will say that they are a good fit and we didn't really have leaking problems. I think they are well made, unlike others experiences. I also like the recommended cover for them as well and still use the cover with prefolds when needing to use zinc oxide, and I use these with zinc oxide in times of a diaper rash too.
As far as customer service, Crickett was super friendly and answered all my CD questions like how many diapers should I get and gave advice on washing. At times it was difficult to contact her and our registry orders got misplaced.
Overall it's nice to have a few in my stash, but I had to keep looking for a different type of diaper. We do FB now for the pocket, and might consider BG to try something new.

These diapers are THE answer to a heavy wetter. They have the most layers and are still relatively trim. After 3 years of continual use they are showing signs of wear. However, they still absorb great quantities of output and I have rotated only 5 diapers for the past 3 years of continual use at night.
I cannot give enough praise to these diapers as I searched for over a year to find the best solution for DD #1 and did not find it before she was potty learned. Now, I am convinced these are the best for my children as #2 & #3 pee a lot at night. These are a great investment.
I purchased size large because I wanted to only purchase 1 size. I would fold them down and snapi them until they fit better (about 15 lb on a chunky baby or 19 on a bit trimmer baby)
All of my children are/ were super soakers . At 4 months & 15 pounds I used the large on DD #2 because she is really chubby, she pees a lot at night. AS well if it didn't work I wanted to use them on my older dd.
AT first we were almost able to make it through the night with these by themselves, but we added an extra hemp insert to fully make it... which was great considering I used 4 inserts in a large FB.
After a few months and teething was over We were able to make it through the night with only 1 soaker.

I do really like this diaper. It's extremely absorbant, and has lasted longer, because of the versatility of the design, than my other fitteds. It also contains very well - we have never had any blow outs or leaks. We cannot use this diaper as a night diaper though because my son is such a heavy wetter. I would also prefer to try the 100% cotton version because the hemp combo can feel a bit ""crunchy"" after many washes. Overall, though, I would definitely recommend this diaper.
Crickett runs a tight ship and is very professional and ships quickly, too.

I started my son's life out exclusively in Cricketts fitted hemp/cotton blend diapers. When he outgrew the small/newborn size I decided to try other AIO's and Pocket Diapers in addition to a few Cricketts in my stash.
My daycare center and my husband have been begging me for a few months now to return to the ones that just work... no leaks and are ""easy to install"" in hubby's terms. Six months later and a lot of headaches due to leaking, stuffing and unstuffing very expensive diapers... I am going back to Cricketts full time again.
Thanks Crickett and Michael for an awesome product and great customer service.

Wow! I've been using these for a couple of weeks now and I couldn't be happier! They truly are bulletproof! I've been using them at night and naptime and my newborn can go the entire night in just one diaper. I also use them if we're going out and know the baby won't get changed for a while. I have yet to have a leak or blowout. I love the snap in liner, as it ""fills"" the diaper so there's not a gap between baby and diaper.
My baby is EBF and we've gotten a few stains on the liners, but a few hours in the sun and they're gone!
I can't rave enough about these diapers and I will definitely be buying another set when my DS grows out of these!

We’ve used the small size Cricket’s diapers constantly for 10 months. For the most part they have contained baby mess. I got them based on all the excellent reviews on this site. We have 26 of the small Cricket’s diapers & 3 Sandy’s. They get washed between 2 and 3 times a week. On the positive side, they are definitely durable. It is also very rare for us to have a leak in these when we use the Thirsties diaper covers and a doubler at night.
I do have some small complaints about the diapers. First, the Cricket’s diapers have stretched out over time. This is fine for my 10 month old (who is still wearing them), but I have concerns about putting a stretched out diaper on a new baby. Second, the diaper has also become much thinner and much rougher. Third, as an infant, my son would only sleep on his side (no matter how we put him down). We frequently had leaks at night because there is very little coverage on the sides. This is no longer a problem as my son now sleeps on his stomach.
If I had to do it all over again I would only get 3 of the Cricket’s and 26 of the Sandy’s diapers. They have equivalent sizing and pricing, but the Sandy’s diapers have had none of the negatives that the Cricket’s diapers have had.

I have been using cloth since my 2 year old was a newborn. I bought a Crickett's Diaper used at a local cloth diaper trade meet up and loved it. I now have a newborn as well, and these are the only diapers that work for him. Between both of my kids, I have tried almost every brand out there, and these are the best--they are good quality, absorbant, long-lasting, and afforadable! Also, my kids are built completely different (my daughter is very petite and my son is very chunky), and they work with both body types.

Out of all my variety of diapers this is my favorite to use. Only ones I have NEVER had a leak with - even 10 hours at night with no doubler! It contains even the runniest breastfed poo. I would recommend these to anyone. My only dislike is that the snaps don't give me enough options for fit, seems like my boy is always in between the snaps for best fit, but that's a chance you take with snaps. These are wonderful and a great buy for the price.

I purchased a lot of 8 on DiaperSwappers after reading all of the reviews here. I really LOVE these! They are trim, soft, and super absorbent. I started using them when my ds was 8 weeks old, until now(almost 3 months).
I love the fact that they are hemp/cotton which has antimicrobial properties; therefore, less prone to rashes! I can easily put a doubler or two in there if need be, and the diapers are still easily adjustable with the snaps. These have been able to hold any and all blow-outs, and recently have been used overnight for 8 hours paired with a fleece soaker or longies. NO leaks.
They do take a little longer than regular cotton dipes to dry, but I also use dryer balls to cut some of the drying time, and use the sun when it's available of course.
I have a set of toddler size Crickett's all ready to use when the time comes!

These are beautifully made diapers. I have several of the hemp and one cotton. I think the cotton is a little softer, but they are both really absorbant. I use them a lot during the day and for naps. The only negative thing I might say is that they are a little bulky especially with the soaker in. Overall, I really like these diapers.
