Did you see that TotBots has come out with a version 3 of their EasyFits diaper?  It is not yet available in the US but from what I have read, should be soon.   It is now available in snap version too and has new prints.  Check it out:

I do not love their prints either.  They do offer the version 3 in snaps now though . . .
ETA:  Okay, I looked at their new prints again and you know what, I actually like them Smile  I think they are a nice (and fun) change from your typical flowers and butterflies for girls and trucks and robots for boys.  And I think my kiddos are going to LOVE them!!

You know, I like the older version just fine! I hope they go on clearance when the new version becomes available ;)

I think that Chicken Little print is adorable!  I've never tried these (old version or new), but they look nice!

I know MomBeck decided not to stock these because of the new colored inside. There may be concerns that you can't see your LO's urine- blood or color, etc. I don't think it would be a big deal if you're switching them up with other diapers every change, but I think she has a legitimate concern about them.

i'm not super thrilled with the colored insides. i'm sure they are "pretty" and all, but i don't see the point.

"The V3 is now made with supersoft Minky fabric which dries a lot quicker than the V2 Bamboo/Microfibre mix (V2 is now discontinued)."

i have V2, havnt used it yet cuz dd is still too small but i washed it twice and it took forever to dry. 2 cycles in the dryer n its still damp.. looks like the V3 has improved...

Ooh I LOVE these prints! I'm a fan of these diapers. DS has almost outgrown his though. Their PUL and velcro is awesome. The coloured inner isn't a big deal. We have lots of diapers with coloured inserts.

I actually think the v2 dries pretty quickly so can only imagine how fast the v3 is, which is exciting in and of itself Smile  I am going to have to try 1 of course Wink  Aplix or snaps though . . . hmm Ermm

I took a second look at the prints and you know what, I agree Chicken Little is adorable and so are some of the others . . . I am totally going to buy one (or two or three LOL)!

We LOVE these diapers too.  The v3 is supposed to have longer wings so I think we last a bit longer (we found the wings to be a tad short and not as stretchy as I would like).  I am going to buy a v3 of this diaper for sure Smile

So, do you think it will wash up better than the v2? Just thinking if it dries faster if that means easier washing. And, will it be just as absorbent?

The reviews indicate it is more absorbent by quite a bit and as far as washing, I am not sure.  It is suppose to dry though much more quickly which is nice. I am going to try one for sure probably in aplix again though as I love their aplix Smile

while im not in love with the new prints, im excited to try the V3.  I love our totbots, and have the only boyish print i like (stars) and one solid color (green)... id be happy with a few more!
 
ETA: I love their aplix too- its amazing stuff!  Sometimes I cant get the laundry tabs open after washing... its that good! 
 
plus, i feel like these prints might be the sort that are cuter IRL... so im going to give then a whirl!

This is definitely legitimate. DS has salmonella a week ago, and had bloody mucous in his poo. I wonder if I would have noticed it with the red inner.

What exactly is Minky fabric?  I guess it's synthetic?  Is it hard to wash well?  We have only cotton, hemp, and one bamboo diaper and have never had to strip or had "stinkies".  I want to try one of these but I'm scared of synthetic fabrics!

I think minky will be such an upgrade over rayon from bamboo. We are very, very, very excited about these and have been anxiously awaiting them for a while!
