When I was searching for an overnight solution, I contacted the nice people at DryBees and inquired about their Fleece Night Time Pocket Diapers. We're big fans of the DryBees Hybrid AIO's, so I knew that the fleece diapers would be a great overnight solution. Drybees was kind enough to send me one to try out.
The diaper is made with a heavy-weight windpro fleece on the outside, which is extremely waterproof, yet breathable. Windpro fleece is a heavy fabric, so these diapers are generally more bulky than your typical PUL covered pocket diapers. They're a great solution for overnight and particularly for heavy wetters. The diaper has USA milled microsuede on the inside of the diaper that wicks moisture away from baby's skin, gentle elastic on the legs and waist, and fold over laundry tabs.
The Fit:
These diapers fit great on my skinny 5.5 month old. The elastic on the legs and back is gentle, yet strong enough to contain messes. The diaper did not leave any red marks, and would have had enough give in order to fit a chunkier baby. The medium size was slightly big on my son, as he's on the small end of the weight range. The sizing is generous and will allow him to grow into the diaper before needing to size up. I would have liked to have seen crossover tabs for a better fit around the waist. I had one leak with this diaper, until I figured out a better insert combo to use. Since then, my son wakes up dry.
Pros:
- Great, breathable material
- Strong aplix
- Gentle elastic on legs and waist
Cons:
- Bulky, especially if you have to add extra inserts (not too much of an issue overnight, though)
- No crossover tabs making it hard to fit on my skinny boy
