Diapers By Chris

So here is another WAHM whose diapers I tried.  Diapers By Chris is hand  made by Chris Fannin out of the US.  She makes pockets, AIO, and Fitteds.



I tried out her pocket diapers first. They are a one size diaper and would fit really well if my little one wasn't so tall in the torso.  Because of his height he outgrew most OS diapers already and he is only 26lbs. I did love these pockets while they fit. They were really nice and trim and the pocket was wide enough to stuff with a variety of inserts. I don't like microfiber so I usually use either bamboo or cotton inserts. The inner is suede cloth but I believe she can make them with fleece instead of micro suede.

 
 



I like how the flap opening is nicely finished unlike Fuzzibunz or Happy Heineys. I also like the snap placement, I always got a good snug fit.
 
 
Then I tried her bamboo fitteds for night time
 
 
 
This is also a OS diaper. Now because my son is so tall, Chris was nice enough to add a bit extra to the rise of the diaper to fit. This is all bamboo. After it is fully prepped it is a super trim and absorbent option for overnight. Pair it with a good cover and you are all set.
 
 
 
The soaker snaps in at the back and it is a long snake style so that you can fold it in a number of ways to boost the absorbency where you need it most. In the morning the front would be wet but the back half dry. It cleans up really well and it is easy to care for. Some of my other bamboo fitteds like to hold onto the stink but this one is great. The only thing I didn't like about it that after a 12 hour night the front would be wet and it would get really hard. It didn't seem to bother my baby but occasionally he did have a red mark on the inner thigh.  I recently got a second one of these from Chris and after I mentioned that it was getting hard she suggested adding cotton velour to the inside of the diaper and the top of the soaker. She also added a bit more to the rise of the diaper. I LOVE it. It is super soft and absorbent.
 
The diapers are all very reasonably priced and are an excellent quality. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a night worthy option. Check out her page on Facebook, you won't regret it.
