Let's talk about prefolds. I know a lot of parents like prefolds, but have you ever wished that there were some wings or tabs on them? I know, from my own prefold experience, that prefolds can be tricky to fasten sometimes and that some wings would be very helpful in that department. Well, Renee from Dippee Dypees has done just that.
When Renee's youngest was born she turned up allergic to everything synthetic so Renee started making diapers with bamboo, she loves bamboo French terry, which is very absorbant and trim!
Let's take a look at an example of her diapers:
I love this print, SO cute! Anyhow, see the wings...yep, those make it much easier to snappi/ pin your diaper!
We received this adorable diaper from Dippee Dypees
I wasn't sure if the piece of fabric on the right was specifically a washcloth, or a doubler, but I have used it as both, lol.
First thoughts.... why not add snaps?
Now after my first thought, I kinda figured it out though. With Snappis or pins, you can get a truly custom fit.... no worry about if the snaps are in the right spot to ensure fit. So, I do get why you wouldn't want to add snaps. (Renee can add snaps to your prefold, but it will limit the fit).
Anyhow... I like this prefold. Here is a picture of Annabelle wearing the Dippee Dypees,
Now, I am not a Snappi-ing expert yet, so it probably isn't the best use of Snappi that you have seen, but the diaper itself looks great! I love that it is trim... no diaper to baby's knees here!
This diaper has washed well, it still looks very nice! It also has come clean really well so far.
I don't use this as an overnight diaper, as my daughter gets really mad when she feels wetness and this diaper seems to bother her more than others, but we use it at nap time and car rides since it is more absorbent that our pocket diapers.
I really couldn't find anything negative to say about the diaper. The only problem we encountered is that Annabelle seemed to notice being wet more in this diaper than others that we have.
