The diaper shell has an outer layer of knit which I really think is my new favorite. Although I personally hate sewing knit diapers, they really have just a little more give in them to get a better fit than I feel I get with wovens–especially since I use snaps. There is a hidden layer of poly fleece which is also another up-and-coming favorite of mine since it is more breathable than pul yet still has a moisture repelling quality to it to keep diapers from leaking. Plus, you really don’t have to worry as much about periodically heat sealing your diapers like you do with hidden pul to ensure holes from sewing don’t cause leaks.
The inner layer is a super soft cotton velour. It’s still on my ‘to buy’ list for sewing our own diapers but I just really love the price point it’s at and the variety of colors that are available. I love that beautiful diapers like this can change the way I create for us at home. 😉
Favorite part?? Check out that wing crossover!! Keep in mind that my little girl is just shy of 2 and is weighing about 28 pounds. I’m shocked that she’s even still on a crossover snap but it really does get her a more snug fit that doesn’t try to adjust itself later on as she moves like I have had happen with other diapers. I have a few that don’t crossover anymore that do still provide a great fit but my little girl is a tummy sleeper so if you think about it, it’s just a little extra protection right under the belly button for naps and bedtime, which is necessary for those sleeping on their tummy.
The diaper even came to me prepped with a handwritten note explaining this and how to further care for the diaper. Does cloth diapering get any better than that? =) I know there’s been so many time that I’ve been waiting for fluff mail (cloth diapers or fabrics for them) and had to wait to actually use them because they need to be prepped. It also came with a pair of hip snap covers. There have been a few times with other diapers where we are no longer using the hip snaps and they can dig into poor baby’s skin and leave marks. The covers are made using the same cotton velour as the inner layer so they are not only cute, but soft and cuddly as well.
Natalia can even reenact how I look just waiting for a special package. Pretty cute kid, eh?
If you haven’t heard the message loud and clear by now, this Snug Bug Diaper is my current #1 favorite in our stash, topping even those made by myself!!!
Marie Heimann says
Really attracted to the fact that they sent the diaper prepped. Wish they all came that way!

I like the way these look and they seem very snug – not so bulky!
Kassie Groll says
I’m excited to try them with our new baby when she comes in April to see how they fit a smaller one.
Melinda says
I’ve never used cloth diapers, but think I will with my future kids-my youngest is 2! I love that its easy to use and it looks comfy too. I’m definitely recommending these to my sister who’s expecting her first!
Kassie Groll says
My toddler will be 2 this month and is now showing signs of wanting to potty train. A bit sad to be putting away her diapers for a while.
Sweetpetunia says
This looks like a nice diaper. Please excuse me, I’m a sleep deprived mama, but does it require a cover?
Kassie Groll says
It doesn’t! As a hybrid, it has a hidden layer of poly fleece. This acts as a moisture repellent and the wetness is pushed back into the diaper’s soaker. My toddler can last all night without it being damp in the morning and she sleeps for 12 hours.
Carrie says
These seem so great! I don’t quite understand the fold down rise snapping, but I am interested!
Kassie Groll says
The idea with fold down rise is that you don’t get the added weird bulkiness that you get with the snap down rise. by folding it down, it keeps your soaker snug in place and you don’t run the risk of it bunching up in the extra fabric or moving around.

I haven’t tried this type of diaper before but the pictures are way cute!
Kassie Groll says

I like the crossover wing for a better fit.
Kassie Groll says
It really surprised me that I would like it better but it oh so nice!
judi says
I love hip snaps and I like the petal insert. The inside looks so super soft and the stripes are really cute.
Kassie Groll says
It’s always the diaper my hubby goes for so it’s in the laundry almost constantly and it’s still just as soft as the day it arrived.
Ambyr Henninger says
I haven’t tried Snug Bugs but would love to! I can’t help but drool over the cute patterns!
Sarah Hayes says
These are so cute! Id love to try them
Laura Broach says
I think it’s great that it gives extra protection for tummy sleepers!
MotherhoodLooms says
What an adorable diaper!
Kristi C. says
I had never heard of these diapers in my research as I am new to cloth diapers but your review has basically convinced me that this is a must try with my little boy! 🙂 Thanks for the great post. I hope to win one!!
aimee moray says
I can’t wait to start cloth diapering! This is such a cute option.
The Secret Life of a SAHM says
I love hybrids! This one looks wonderful. I can’t believe she even preps it before sending.
Holly Lynn says
They look pretty trim and thank you for explaining petal soaker, I didnt know what it meant before.
