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.

These are work horse utility hemp diapers. They are easy to wash and get a good fit. (but not soft at all) Problem is they are super bulky and they did not stand up to my heavy wetter unless I folded the hemp soaker in half and put it up front. This was not very comfortable for baby and made a big bulky ball in the front of his pants. So I wish they were more versatile with the placement of the soaking. If you have a medium to light wetter or a girl that centers the wetness they could work well for you.

I like to see reviews from people who have been using a diaper for a long time! So I wanted to post that these diapers really do last. I have 18 sz 2. The larger size has fit my dd for 13 mo, from 17 thru 28 lbs. Some of the elastics are just a bit loose, but the fabric has held up. Like most hemp, it gets a tad rough over time, but continued use softens them up again. I use dryer balls and the occasional natural Ecover fabric softener treatment. One or 2 may have just a teeny hole here or there. These will definitely be saved for the next baby.
On the fit: Dd is skinny, and I do think this diaper fits better on a bit chubbier kid. BUT- they've still been ok and decently trim on her. For the price, I'd buy this diaper again in a heartbeat, even for a skinny child. I have gotten a worse fit with diapers costing 2 or 3 times as much, so I think this diaper is worth a try. And for the cost, you can send them to someone to dye them for you if you need color, and still spend under 20$ per dipe!!!

THE most absorbent fitted I've tried by far (and I've tried a lot of fitteds:)). I have 7 of these diapers in heavy rotation -- they've held up wonderfully, excellent workmanship. This diaper with no doubler held my toddler's morning flood with NO LEAKS after he held it in for 11-12 hours. Even the fitteds I'd been using for nights couldn't do that without doublers. So they're awesome for nights with a fleece liner and much trimmer than what I'd been using. If I have another baby I will definitely be getting these in the smaller size -- they are awesome. Great price, excellent quality, best absorbency ever. Love them.

This is my absolute favorite fitted diaper! It's my go-to at night and naptime. My DD is a heavy wetter and she leaked through so many other diapers, including disposables. This diaper holds way more than others. The trade-off is that it takes longer to dry, but it's worth it. And for the price, you can't beat it! Thank you Crickett!

A lovely, well-made diaper. Very absorbent and still comes clean every time. It did take a while before the small size fitted my son and I didn’t get a decent fit until he was about 2 months of age and 10 pounds. Personally, I am not good with snaps. They take me too long to adjust and I feel clumsy, but then they are very durable to compensate.

I have tried a LOT of different diapers and the hemp Crickett's is one I can honestly recommend. I use it for overnights with a wool cover and I've never had a leak. It is made very well and it doesn't stain like some of my other hemp fitteds. I appreciate not having to invest in so many different sizes as she grows because they only have 2 sizes which both still fit her even after months of use. They don't stay as soft as they start out before being washed but they do become more and more absorbent the longer I have them. I have a softer diaper but it literally has to be changed every time she wets or it leaks everywhere and Crickett's is bulletproof. I also have Crickett's cotton fleece which performs just as well but I prefer the hemp. PS Amazing customer service

Amazing diaper for an amazing price! This diaper is as good, if not better than some of the $30 diapers out there. I like the hemp but I like the new organic cotton even better (it is so incredibly soft!) - I just ordered 5 more. This diaper with it's snap in doubler and a wool cover keeps my 25 month old dry overnight and she is in it for 12 + hours! I have many different fitted diapers and this is by far my favourite night time diaper. I am looking forward to having more so that I can use them during the day too! Honestly, if I was starting my family over, I think I would only buy Crickett's.

We've been using the toddler+ size for many months now and I can't say enough about these diapers. After trying other popular fitted brands that didn't work so well on my hard-to-fit son, I purchased five of these and I'm happy to say they work just as well as the first day we started using them. The higher rise works wonderfully for my son because he is tall and the legs are accommodating for chubby thighs. They are some of the most absorbent diapers I own and have been used numerous times overnight. I really like how the soaker is attached as it allows for a more comfortable fit, and for a day-time diaper without the snap-in soaker they are some of the trimmest diapers I've seen. Now that we're expecting baby #2 I'll be back to purchase more in the newborn+ size.

I purchased several Crickett's, some prefolds, and some Bumgenius 3.0's before my baby was even born. After a few days of trying them all I had to buy more Crickett's. They are now our staple diaper. We have 18 Crickett's and 3 Bumgenius (I stopped using the prefolds pretty quickly, didn't like them). This stash works well for us for washing every day. They wash wonderfully, I've had no smell, staining, or rash issues (I wash with Tide Free). Even with daily washing they are still the same quality as the day they arrived. I like that there are only two sizes to buy to save a little money. My husband and our parents were a little skeptical at first, but after a 5 minute lesson they now love them too. We've literally never had a leak! They fit great, only a little high under the XS size Thirsties cover, they stick out the top of the cover. He's 12 pounds now and just now moving to the bigger snaps, so I expect them to fit for several more months. The only issue we've had is that when I ordered more our second order was the same size (all with the green thread), but were noticeably larger than our first order. I think they had maybe been making some improvements in fit. I don't really mind b/c I like the larger ones from our second order better. Its only an issue because now some of our liners are bigger than others and you have to match them up in the laundry. I'll be buying the larger size in a few months for sure.

I can't tell you how much this diaper has helped me! It let me sleep longer and with a newborn that means alot! The product is superb. They really know what they are doing! The diapers are so so soft and they stay that way! They are super absorbant and they are thick but also comfy for the little one at the same time. I got my 3 diapers then got right back on and orderd three more. If you are like me you have been reading and reading about the best diapers, spending all this time trying to find something that is A+ and not 30-40 dollars a diaper. This is an absolute steal at 12.95. You won't be sorry! The new cotton one are super nice as well! I would give 10 stars if that was an option.

beautiful diaper! i was utterly crushed that it didn't fit my baby girl. i ordered the largest size, but it didn't fit my 18 pounder for some odd reason... it gapped massively in the front, while being bitingly tight in the back. so strange?? however... the diaper was gorgeous. absolutely gorgeous. i am keeping it because i (godwilling) hope to have at least one more baby and i will use this diaper at that time on the smaller baby. for the record, i asked cricket's about the fit weirdness and neither of us could account for why it might be. they were incredibly nice and offered to take it back, but i wanted to keep it. i really, really liked the diaper and if htey made a larger size i'd be buying a bunch of them. nice people, great product and excellent customer care and concern. you can't go wrong here. highly recommended :)

Nov 2008 UPDATE: the diaper fits finally :) one correction. i *thought* i ordered the largest size, but either i didn't and didn't realize it - or i did, but got sent the smaller one by mistake? it's no big deal either way. i'm not sure what the situation was, but i kept trying the diaper on her every month or so hoping that it would fit her eventually and it finally did :) i loved the diaper and just kept trying it! she was about 20 lbs when it fit. i also snipped the back elastic a little so that it wasn't so tight to make the fit better :) i love the diaper. very, very absorbent. takes a little longer to dry than the other diapers, but it's a GREAT little diaper. except she needs the bigger size now for sure.... she's squeezing into them ;) but it's great diaper - especially for the price!!

I LOVE these diapers. Not only are they super soft and adorable, they are so affordable as well. This diaper works better than those other more expensive diapers, and its a fraction of the cost as well. I was so happy, I ordered a few more after I received my first shipment. The snap in doubler was an added bonus! My 21 pound 6 month old is a very heavy wetter. He can last 2-3 hours in one of these without a cover! He lasts all night with a cover as well. I can't say enough how awesome this product is, Crickett is very friendly and it's so nice that she makes such an absorbant thirsty diaper thats affordable. I also love that she uses natural materials and values keeping chemicals and dyes off of baby's skin. This diaper rocks!

When I first ordered these diapers, my order got lost in the mail and Crickett offered me a full refund for the post offices mishap. However, I was not interested in the refund as the reviews from others on these diapers were very positive, I was ademate about waiting to see what happened to my order because I really wanted to try them. So, finally I got my order and I'm so happy that I didn't give up on them!!!! They are wonderful diapers and they are always the first one my husband and I go for first when at home. My son is a heavy wetter so I use the snap-in insert all the time and the diapers are super absorbant. I've never had any leaks with them and when there have been some big poops, the cover has always caught it.
I can't say enough about these diapers and how wonderful Crickett and Mike are with their customer service! Beautifully made, simple diapers that work wonderfully! It's my first time cloth diapering and I'm so glad I chose these! I recommend these to anyone looking for a great fitted diaper!

These diapers are really great. I was amazed the first time I used this diaper on my 15 month old son, and it held up for four hours. They are well made, trim, soft and super absorbent! I have used this diaper nearly everyday for the past two months and it is still just as soft as when we got it. To me, it did seem to run a little large (I bought the toddler size) but nothing to complain about! I wish I would have tried these sooner.

These are such nice diapers.
-They are absorbent, made with high quality organic fabric(no poly blends or inners like many other affordable diapers.
-The craftmanship is imbeccable. The snaps are perfectly set, the stitching is even, the legs do not curl in.
-The fit is so nice too. I have to say that these run big imo. The newborn+ fits my 18 lbs. 8 month old very snug and trim.
I love that they are so affordable as well. I really appreciate that! They are so nice, I know that Crickett can charge more, so keeping them affordable really reflects well on her work ethic.

As for these diapers in particular, I don't have as much experience with cloth as other super-cloth-mamas, but here are a few impressions. I LOVE the fabric -- it is very thirsty and very soft on my toddler's skin. He is an older toddler, so I do need to change him right away when he pees as he pees a lot, and even though this hemp blend is the most absorbent thing I've ever seen, I always use the snap-in liner whether it's naptime or playtime during the day to keep out leaks (still using sposies at night, because he does seem to have quite sensitive skin -- even with the natural fibers, wool covers and using Charlie's Soap, I can't let him just stay in it all night because of rashes, and I've also found he wakes up early from naps when in cloth -- he's just not used to the way they feel quite yet, but I'm hoping that will help with potty training, too!).
The only things I could say as constructive criticism is something that will be a problem for all fitted diapers probably -- for one, he does get little red marks around his legs where the elastic goes (he's not on the big side, he's small-to-average for his age); and the other thing is that they are much harder to get really clean than prefolds, because of the leg gathers -- that's where I always have a hard time with staining there if he has a huge poo and it creeps out to the edges. So I'm not sure you could even do much about those things anyways. I am finding that I prefer the prefolds during waking hours because they do seem a little easier to clean, and I'm also trying to save my Crickett's diapers for when I need something really good. (Like if I'm daring to use them on an outing, or I'm going to put him down for a nap.) :) I almost always use these diapers with Little Beetle woolen covers, and prefolds with the bummis covers -- but sometimes mix it up.
UPDATE: My son is now almost completely out of diapers as he is potty-training and is wearing undies most of th

These are very sturdy well made diapers. My only complaint is the small size does not fit my daughter now that she is 15 pounds and should be well within the size limit. They also take a bit longer to dry than I'd like.

First, the good things about this diaper: for one, it's very absorbent. Also, it seems extremely well-made! Mine have gotten frequent use for 4 months, and they still look new to me. No tears or visible damage at all...great craftswomanship! :-)
The things I don't really like about them are: The fabric gets sort of rough after awhile. They still (barely) fit my son, but I don't like to use them anymore b/c I can tell they're abrasive on his skin (like around the legs). I've been washing them correctly (using Charlie's soap), so I know the fabric issue doesn't have to do with detergent build-up or anything like that. Also, I wouldn't say the smallest size fits up to 20 pounds, at least not on my son. He's 16 pounds, and the rise is so low that he's about grown out of them. Lastly, I'm not a big fan of the closures (snaps) in general...it always seems like the diapers are too tight, or if you go up a notch, suddenly way too loose.

These are wonderful! I love them! I tried many, but these were the winners! They are sturdy diapers that will last the test of time and many, many washes! Mine still look like they did the first time I washed them. They even resist staining pretty well and I only have to do very little to keep them bright.
Even though they are sturdy it doesn't diminish their softness one bit. They fit great...my son has chubby legs and they don't leave marks or bother him in any way. I still could see them fitting a thinner baby, though, since they are adjustable.
This is just a very high quality product and VERY Affordable! I was pleasantly surpised by this!

I absolutely love them! No complaints thus far, I only wish I had more. I'm using prefolds as well, and definitely prefer these. They're so much easier and keep his skin a lot drier.
The fit is perfect on my son. He's got some chunky BF thighs and they don't leave red marks on him at all. I don't use the snappy inserts because they make the diaper a little too bulky, but without them they're perfect.

I have overall been very happy with these diapers. They fit well and absorb a lot. Stains which do not come out in the wash amazingly disappear when you line dry in the sun. If you line dry, you'll need to rough the diapers up once dry, as they become stiff as a board (but easily softened again with your hands). One piece of advice on the fit: these diapers fit great on the smallest size when we first started using them. As my son grew out of this smallest size, I tried the next fit (just adjusting the snaps, using the same diaper), but ended up with the front gaping even though the back fit fine. I fixed this by skipping a snap on the front in the middle, rather than just moving over by a snap. This way it gathered the front together more and the gaping closed. My son is on the thinner side; this might not be an issue with a larger child. I have found these diapers to fit well, though you may need to play around with which snaps to snap in order to get the best fit for your child. I recommend these diapers.

Great & absorbent hemp diaper. I love that I have been able to use this for over 5 months, and we still have room to grow before moving up to the toddler size. This is the fitted I always grab when going out, naps, or when I know I will be a while between changes. I use it overnight with the snap in doubler + a microfiber doubler (I have a heavy wetter) and top with a fleece soaker & we are good to go all night.
The hemp does get a little crunchy overtime, but I also line dry.
Wonderfully constructed, and a great workhorse diaper!
