Guest Post and Product Review: TotsBots EasyFit One Size All-In-One Cloth Diaper

I've been using the TotsBots EasyFit All In One for about a month now. I wasn't all that impressed at first look - well, other than the gorgeous colors it comes in - but was intrigued enough to give it a try. I have to say that I am REALLY glad I did! One of my hesitations was that my toddler is already 35 pounds so I wasn't even sure that it would fit. Well, not only does it fit, he's got room to grow in it. Also, I'm a fan of natural fibers next to skin and the bamboo inner on this one is really innovative. Normally with a natural inner I would expect wicking but the TotsBots has a bamboo strip down the middle and then the stay dry material on the edges. Because of this design, I've had no leaking or wicking even when my toddler goes 3 hours between changes during the day. We've used it at night laying in a hemp doubler and our mornings have been nothing but dry. I did use this diaper after just washing it twice and it did leak then. Since it does have bamboo it does need extra prepping - 6-8 washes and even though I knew better I just couldn't wait to try it. Did I mention how trim this diaper is? Jeans are not a problem with this diaper. Trim, trim, trim! Now let me talk about the velcro. I love the laundry tabs on this diaper - they fold right over to the inside so when you go to put the diaper on they are easily accessible. By that I mean there is no fishing out the tabs from under baby - it actually reminds me of a disposable in this regard - super easy. Oh, and the laundry tabs have stuck through every washing I've done. The outer material is not quite as soft as other PUL I've used but it doesn't pill at all and is still as bright as ever. I'm always torn over whether I should use this diaper first thing out of the wash or save it for the diaper bag because of how easy and dependable it is. It does require that you stuff the insert back in when its out of the wash but since its all attached its easy enough and since it agitates out in the wash I'm a happy camper! I am really happy with this diaper and can honestly recommend it to anyone looking for a new all in one to try! The TotsBots EasyFit One-Size All-In-One Cloth Diaper was reviewed by Sarah, Senior Sales Associate at Nicki's Diapers and Mom of 3 beautiful children.Her youngest son, age 2 1/2 and 35 pounds tested this diaper :) Check back on Thursday for your chance to win a TotsBots EasyFit One-Size All-In-One Cloth Diaper, sponsored by the manufacterer!

  2. I have one of these and it works great. A real workhorse of a diaper. My only complaint is that the sizing snaps can come undone too fairly easily when getting it to fit baby.

  5. I might have to add this to the list. My son is starting to outgrow many diapers and we need ones that fit on the bigger side. Thanks for the great review.

  7. The innovations never stop coming. I wish there were non one-sized diapers though. The buttons on the outside of one-sized diapers causes rashes/sores on my youngest!

  10. This is on my list of diapers to try. I love the idea of the insert being attatched like an AIO, but are adjustable and can be stuffed like a pocket.

  14. I've been using disposable diapers on my son who is almost 6 months old and weighs 24 pounds. I've been wanting to make the transition to cloth diapers for quite some time but not sure which diapers to choose as the choices seem overwhelming to me. After reading Sarah's review which I found very helpful, I think I may give these a try as they seem to be adjustable to fit and grow with my larger size baby. I like the idea that they're thin like disposables which I feel will make it easier for my son to transition from disposablle to cloth and its nice knowing that I wil be putting something natural against my son's skin.
