Also called "fitteds," fitted cloth diapers are hourglass shaped, similar to
disposables, and will have elastics along the
 legs, and probably front and back
as well. They are made from either cotton knits or wovens (knit has stretch, wovens don't)
and also from hemp. They will usually either
snap or close with touch tape or Velcro. Depending upon the absorbency of the
diaper, you may need an additional lay-in
soaker. The core of the diaper is
called the soaker. A lay-in soaker (extra layer of absorbent fabric) lays inside
the diaper and will touch the baby's bottom.
PROS- Fitted diapers hold in explosive poops quite
well, as long as you have a good fit. They are easy to put on, and come in cute prints if
you want your baby to go coverless.
CONS- You may need a waterproof
cover. They
take longer to dry than
prefolds or other diapers that come apart or unfold.
(Some are made with a soaker "flap" sewn in just one spot in the diaper so that
the diaper will dry faster).
