In today’s economy people are looking for the cheapest way to do everything.  Who can blame them?  Everyone has been hit hard by this recession and it looks like it is going to get worse before it gets better.  But, just because something is cheaper and newer, doesn’t mean it is better.

The one-size cloth diaper has revolutionized the cloth-diapering world.  However, as with anything that says it is “one size”, it really doesn’t fit every body style well.  Nearly all the one-size cloth diapers say that they fit a baby from 7-35lbs.  That is quit a difference when your talking the average sized newborn to a toddler!

You can imagine that a diaper that will fit a toddler is going to be rather bulky on a newborn.  That is the case with most one-size diapers; they don’t fit well until the baby is around 12-15lbs.  The other end of the scale gets questionable also.  Depending on your child’s build the one size diapers may not fit until they potty train.

That is why some cloth diapering parents are going back to the “sized” diaper.  When I cloth diapered my daughter, there weren’t all these one-sized diapers available yet.  We used pocket diapers in different sizes.  It was more expensive than the one-sized diapers are today, but they fit her better at each stage.

Happy Heinys pocket

At Crackerjack’s Underpants we carry two main brands of pocket diapers.  I used mostly Happy Heinys pocket diapers on my daughter because I liked the prints and Velcro closures.  However, I did have a few FuzziBunz pocket diapers and they came in handy when she got a little older and could diaper strip!

Happy Hienys pocket diapers come in a variety of colors, 6 sizes (X-small – XX-Large) and have aplix (Velcro) closures.  They are easy to stuff the absorbent inserts into and super easy to put on your kiddo.  These pocket diapers wash well and hold up to years of use. Any color or size we do not have in stock can be ordered and drop shipped right to your door.

FuzziBunz pocket

 FuzziBunz perfect fit pocket diapers come in several wonderful colors, 4 sizes (X-Small- Large) and have a snap closure.  They stuff easily, wash well and hold up really well to years and years of abuse.  The snap closure holds up better over time than the Velcro, but take some getting used to at diaper changes.  It is more difficult for toddlers to take their own diaper off with the snap closure of FuzziBunz too!  We have limited old colors in stock now and hope to get the new colors in soon!

So if you are looking for a better fit than a one-size diaper can give you, try a sized pocket diaper.  We have 2 different brands to choose from at Crackerjack’s Underpants. Sometimes a little extra money spent can be worth the hassles of a cheaper option!

Here at Crackerjack’s we are trying to get the information out about products that are either completely new or have new features.  So everyday for the next couple weeks we will highlight a different product that we carry.  It is kind of fun showing off all the great new products out there!

Blueberry FuzziBunz X-small

Today’s feature product is the FuzziBunz X-Small perfect fit pocket diaper.  This diaper has been around for a few years, but recently FuzziBunz came out with all new colors.  No more boring white and pastels, these are all fun bold colors.  They also expanded the number of colors available.  You can choose from 13 crazy colors and white!

Most people don’t know this but Tereson Dupuy is basically the inventor of “modern cloth diapers”.  She started FuzziBunz in 1999 and has been making quality cloth diapers for eco conscious, frugal parents since that time.  FuzziBunz continues to come up with fun new colors and functional, affordable cloth diapers year after year.

Crushed Berries FuzziBunz X-small

The FuzziBunz X-Small perfect fit diaper is an excellent newborn sized pocket diaper.  It fits most babies 4-12lbs.- a typical newborn size.  These X-Small diapers will not fit your baby for long, but they are so irresistibly cute that you just have to have one of each color to put on your new edition!

The FuzziBunz X-small comes in the following rainbow of colors: Apple Green, Big Sky, Blueberry, Buttercream, Chocotruffle, Cotton Candy, Crushed Berry, Grape, Kumquat, Mac-N-Cheese, Mint, Tootie Frootie, Watermelon and White.  You can find these and other FuzziBunz products on my website.

Here at Crackerjack’s Underpants I like to feature a product that I think is above and beyond the normal greatness of regular cloth diapers.  I haven’t personally used this product on my daughter, as she is 3yrs. old and potty trained, but I have had lots of feedback on it and I’m getting rave reviews from mamas all over!

Thirsties Hemp Duo Prefold

 Today’s featured product is made right here in the USA- I don’t just mean it is assembled here, I mean the entire product and all it’s components are made here!  This product is phenomenal!!! It will make your cloth diapering life easier and it is super sturdy, so it will stand up to abuse.

  What you say is this lovely product?  It is the Thirsites Duo Hemp Prefold.  This prefold out does other cotton Prefolds by absorbing 25% more wetness!  It is super trim making those cloth diapers fit better under clothing.  Plus it is made with the softest hemp jersey that stays super soft wash after wash!

  Hemp has natural anti-bacterial properties that make this diaper easier to clean.  The Thirsties Duo Hemp Prefold allows for good airflow and each panel is only 2 layers thick, making it a healthy but trim fit.  These work wonderfully with the Thirsties Duo Wraps.

 By purchasing this cloth diaper you are helping fellow Americans, because the entire product from start to finish is made in Colorado, USA.  So please consider purchasing these fabulous Thirsties Duo Hemp Prefolds!
