Review...

Cow Patties Cloth Diapers has 4 types of diapers (Pocket, AI2, Fitteds, Famous Pocket Fitteds), accessories, and lots of fun prints to choose from! With so many options, you can get an awesome customized diaper.

I received a Large, AI2 Front Snap Cloth Diaper to review! This diaper has a fabric outer, PUL hidden layer, and a very fluffy fleece inside. I love how soft the inside is! You can tell it's a comfortable material against the skin.
As you can see, the tabs can overlap if you're kiddo is on the smaller side of the recommended 25-33 pounds for large. Buddy is about 33 pounds right now and I found that this diaper has TONS of room to grow. There are only 2 exposed snap settings in the front on him. Maybe up to 40 pounds or more? I'm hoping he'll be potty trained by then though! :)

Check out all those snap settings! The tabs have 2 snaps on each side to attach to the middle. This helps avoid wing droop and creates a better fit.

The insert is made of 2 layers of Bamboo fleece. There is one snap at the top of the insert that attaches to the top inside back of the diaper. I folded the insert in half, and then folded it down a bit more in the front once it was in the diaper. This gave a little more absorbency in the right area for my boy. I like that the insert snaps in. That way it stays put! The insert was very absorbent and yet so thin! Perfect!

There was a tiny bit of gaping in the front just above the snaps. This didn't cause any issues though and the diaper stayed up just fine. When I tried to put the snaps on the next setting, I found that I was squeezing Buddy's tummy and legs too tight. So, the snaps were on the right setting. There were no gaps when Buddy sat down, and the fit around the legs was very nice.  Notice the very trim fit on the bottom too!

Overall, I really like this diaper! It's very trim, and it leaves NO red marks at all. I tend to have that issue with a lot of other cloth diapers. I like that the PUL isn't exposed and that Cow Patties Cloth Diapers has so many choices and options. You can choose everything from the type of diaper, sized to one-size, type of closure, and inner and outer fabrics.You'll want to view their photo album on Facebook to check out all the great prints and styles!

Win it!

One winner will receive an AI2 Front Snap diaper in choice of outer print and size!
