There are times when you crave simplicity and you just aren’t interested in buying cloth diapers every 6 months (okay, who are you? I don’t believe you exist. lol). When this is the case a good one-size pocket cloth diaper is the way to go. Why a one-size pocket?
The one-size feature on cloth diapers truly creates a financial savings for families. You can purchase 1-2 dozen before your baby is born and use those same diapers through potty training. The multiple snaps may seem intimidating but once you set them for your baby they usually stay in that position even through the wash.
Having the one-size diaper in your stash is a must if you are cloth diapering more than one child. The ability to blindly grab a diaper and know it will fit either child is convenient and again cost effective.
A pocket is better than a fitted or AIO in the fact that you control the absorbency and trimness. The choices for inserts are limitless. Bamboo, Zorb, microfiber, flannel, hemp, and cotton are all fibers found in different inserts. A pocket cloth diaper can also function as a swim diaper or trainer.
Here are 6 One Size Pocket Cloth Diapers that are used by hundreds of cloth diapering families:
Happy Heinys: Newly released snap version, available in a million colors…okay only 24.
Baby Kangas: Unique zipper pouch located on the outside of the diaper. No more reaching inside a messy diaper!
BumGenius: The original and leader in one-size pocket cloth diapers. Probably the most mainstream cloth diaper available.
Rumparooz: Cute prints, stretchy tabs and great craftsmanship make this diaper a winner.
Mommys Touch: Easy Clean Opening allows for soiled insert to come out in the wash.
Blueberry: Luscious minky, a fantastic fit, super trim…what more could you ask for??
Tiny Tush Elite: Many sizing options, snap or aplix closure and a reverse envelope pocket opening to prevent poop from getting inside the diaper.

Hi,
Tiny Tush One-Size Elite Pocket Diapers are the best! They are premium cloth diapers that are really made to last. They are ultra soft and come in some really great colors. The snaps are definitely our favorite! Check them out at our store: HomeGrownBabyStore.com
Ack! How did I leave out Tiny Tush!? Thank you for adding the link Catherine.
It took me a while to get used to the OS pockets but now that I use them I wish I bought more!
my favorites are rumparooz.
We have a couple of bumGenius 3.0s and absolutely love them. We use them overnight, every night and have never had a leak.
Has anyone herd of Coolababy one size cloth diapers? I see them super cheep on ebay, but wonder if they are worth it. They are 1/2 the price of bumGenius, but the smallest package has 8 in it. So, I don’t want to blow my money on 8 if they suck when I could have gotten 4 good diapers.
I have not tried Coolababy diapers. The fact that they are made in China keeps me from investing. Another thing I always look for on a diaper is a cross-over snap. To me that is vital for a one-size especially.
I’m looking into Haute Pockets, any feedback on those OS pockets?
Robin, I have heard many stories of Haute Pockets having leak issues. I would buy one used and give it a try before I invested much money.
dear Autumn,
thank-you so much for your site!! I am a first time mom and I knew I wanted to use cloth diapers but had no idea how many different kinds are out there!!!
I would love a one-size pocketed diaper with snaps but that has a natural inner rather than micro-fleece.
Do you know of any other than swaddlebees’ econappies? They are very pricey!!
Or would you recommend another one-size diaper that is trim yet absorbent??
Thanks again so much
Paula, I do have a fabulous recommendation- bumGenius Organic one-size. I have 1 and it ROCKS. It is as trim as a disposable (one really can’t argue that I’ve compared lol) and very absorbent. I know the price tag can put a lump in your throat but remember they are one-size.
I wanted to reply to a previous poster about haute pockets. I only have one (bought it used…it was inexpensive so I figured, “why not?”), but I really like it a lot! I don’t like that it has the same inner as the happy heinys (it looks old very fast, but still works well). Also, I wanted to mention Wahmies OS pockets. I have these and LOVE them! The hooks can be a bit difficult to get used to, but once you are used to them, they are fabulous because you never have to worry about the velcro not lasting as long as the rest of the diaper, and the hooks give you MANY sizing opions! I’m not a retailer, I just like these diapers, lol!
Would one size diapers be a wise purchase for a newborn that weighs 9 pounds?
Cristina, although they will be a bit bulky one-size diapers are a wise purchase. Once your baby reaches 12 lbs you won’t notice the bulk as much.
