Is the Magic diaper really worth it?
-
Ok. I've been there. No cloth diaper keeps your baby dry all night and you are on the verge of using disposable diapers. When Sterling was little he flooded everything!
One day someone recommended the "magic diapers" aka Sustainablebabyish bamboo fitted.
I swallowed the price tag and tried it out.
I soon understood why it was called the magic diaper. The thing can hold a ton of pee!
It isn't stay dry but you can easily add a Rumparooz liner, Cottonbabies liner or homemade liner.
I have used many brands of covers over it and all have worked well. (Flip, Sweetpea, Rumparooz, Thirsties...)
I would say if you have tried everything with no success then try the Magic diaper!Autumn Beck

Love SBish fitteds under wool. I just cut up a $3 super thin fleece blanket (100% polyester) and made about 20 stay dry liners & they work perfectly to keep his wet zone dry.

This worked for us when my son was a newborn! They are pricey, but I have to say they are durable. They look the same as the day I bought them. Of course he grew out of them fast, but I know I will be able to use them on future babies. I don't regret spending the money on them at all! I would recommend them to parents, especially if their LO is a heavy wetter.Tara Alderman

One other question...have you used the snapless one size or the sized with snaps? Do you find that they shrink a lot or are really hard and rough once wet? I've heard great things about them, but some people's reviews on Diaper Pin mentioned these issues.Lea

I have been super interested in trying fitteds. I love my wool cover and wool longies for nighttime, but even my hemp prefolds are not my favorite nighttime option. Any ideas on where I can find some used?
-
Michelle- I've seen them used on Diapper Swappers, Cloth Diaper Trader (which I just learned about thanks to Autumn ;), and even EBay! The only thing that gets me about buying used is that most of the time it seems like they are only a couple dollars less than a new diaper, which is great if you're the seller ;). I just ordered a couple of the snapless fitteds and can't wait to get them!Lea

The snapless do not shrink. The fitteds do.Autumn Beck
