[SeekerMage]

Id like to try some fitteds for the summer...and since we need a big time pick me up...anyone seen any instock ones anywhere? She weighs 21 lbs, has/had a 16 inch waist and about a 15/16 inch rise. Any ideas?

***UPDATE***
Ok I did it.....here is what I bought...and now I have to decide what wool cover to get...

This cute monkey fitted from http://www.countrycuttins.com/
and I have a custom slot waiting till after I get the diaper to check out the fit. YEAH!

I don't know whether any of these are instock or not, but I love these kinds of threads. Anna sent this to me last night.

Happy shopping, let us know what you get :)

These run a tad on the small side, though, because Kaya is on the second to largest snaps on the large diapers. Actually, based on your measurements, the large ones would fit LilBit. Do you want to borow one of Kaya's? It's on the swap right now, but I haven't had any takers yet.

I just bought an instock Medium Balloons fitted from CalicoBaby for under $15. I hope it lives up to its raves! Not to mention the CalicoBaby fleece cover that is coming too!! wahoo!

[mudder17]

Yeah, I just read on MDC that people feel like CalicoBaby is going to be one of the next Hyena dipes. She's open for customs, so I'm tempted to get one of her front snapping to see if they fit well. But I don't know if I should go for cute or girly or what. I'm trying to decided between the Koi, the Fairies, or the rubber duckies. What do you all think? Should I try one? :) (I sold 2 covers and 2 diapers today.)

Is it a custom? If it is instock, are you looking at the Mediums? I didn't see any mediums in the prints you are mentioning.
If custom, all 3 prints are cute!!!

[mudder17]

It is a custom slot (she has 6 available) and there are so many choices to make! I know I want 4 layers snap-in (not fleece topped because I always use my own liners) for the soaker, I know I want front snap, I know I need medium, but I don't know which print, which body type (hemp fleece smooth or soft side out, hemp french terry, or sherpa), and wooly nylon thread color. Oh, and I think I want it to be velour lined, because that would make it cooler than fleece, right?

LOL, are they saying that now on MDC? I bragged about The Calico Baby almost a year ago when she first opened. Now if only I could use these darn things! We have two of the coolest AIOs from her!

From my somewhat limited experience I prefer my hemp soft side out. That way any lint stays in the washing mashine/dryer rather than inside the diaper if that makes sense. Unfortunately it also means that it won't be as soft after few washes.

Sherpa is fine for my light-to-medium wetter but hemp is supposed to be more absorbant, isn't it? And from what I've read, hemp french terry is more absorbant than hemp fleece since its fibers are not broken. So from the performance point of view you might want to get hemp french terry but I have not tried it.

[pittsburghgirl]

I see the custom slots at Calico baby are gone already :)

I have several of her Ultimate AIOs and I really like them. They are front snap so the fit isn't perfect on DS (we do a lot better with side snapping) but they really work. I have extra snap ins and at least half the time only have to change out the snap in so I get more than one use out of the shell. They are so well made and super cute.

Here I was thinking, maybe I should try a fitted. I'll have to wait until next time!

Wow, I'm SO glad I decided to order one at 11:30 p.m. last night! :) I did order an extra snap-in for my fitted (one trifold and one normal soaker) to give myself more options.

I'm glad to know that the front snaps work for you as well. Side snap usually fits better, but front snap is so much easier to get on a wiggly babe!

I thin Eileen had reviewed these a while back during Fluffy Mission Impossible.
I just ordered a custom Medium one.. including shipping it was less than $14. Will post a review when i get it. The soaker is a trifold lay-in.. so i am not sure it will be very trim. But i am on a buying spree and can't stop.... ack!
