Best overnight diaper?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I'm thinking about splashing out on a couple of nice diapers for overnight. Daytime we use prefolds. We currently have some hand me down bamboozles which are on their third child and getting kind of ratty. I've noticed that bamboo is lovely and soft at first but tends to shrink, get rougher and wear out quickly.
Having said that, I'd go for bamboo again if it was really recommended as it is super absorbent.

So my criteria is: natural fiber (bamboo, cotton, etc), fitted and one-size. I will use with a wool cover and probably a doubler of which I have lots. Any rec?

I loved our dream-eze fitteds for nighttime. Somehow they just held a ton of pee for me while still being pretty trim. They are organic cotton and I was able to get some as cosmetic seconds from the manufacturer's website store (around $10-$11).

Downside is they were not the longest lasting diaper for me. The elastic gave out quicker than my other dipes though we still managed to get to PLing before they gave out completely. And I think because I had a frontloader with the high spin speeds, they tended to develop holes at stress points before any of my other dipes did.

I love my Dream-Eze dipes, but they most definitely are not a night-time solution for us. He can soak one in 2 hours during the day - no way it would last 10 hours overnight.

The only OS dipe that's come close for us is Bububebe, although the Sbish pin dipe could do it with an additional doubler, most likely. Right now our night-time solution involves a Happy Hempy pocket fitted (which is sized), 2 pfs, a hemparoo doubler and a babyology wool cover. It's extremely bulky, but the only thing I've found that'll hold him reliably (we were using a Mommy's Touch cover until last week, it's just too hot for PUL though).

We use Thirsties in our house. They stopped making the pockets with the different sizes and are making a new one that is supposed to be like a one size that they've broken up into two sizes one for newborn to 15 lbs and the other 15-30 lbs. I love them. I just stuff them with a prefold and stuffin and we're good for the night. I know, bulky, but we're talking about night time diapering. I've never had any issues with them repelling moisture or leaking unless I don't stuff them. They already have a microfiber stuffin sewn in. I think they're wonderful and plan on buying more for the new baby.
