A while ago, I think as part of the Mission Impossible stuff, I bought a Fuzzywrap from www.diaperbabies.com. It is a fleece cover with a snap in doubler. I got the daytime version, which is 200 weight fleece. It has microfleece on the inside.
The cover is quite soft and fluffy, even after a handful of washings. It's a bit thick, so it doesn't go under jeans well.
The doubler is a Ultra Hempler. It is 3 layers of hemp that is used folded, for 6 layers. It is also topped with microfleece.
So far, I mostly like this system. But, the hemp isn't prewashed and it shrinks a lot. I have 2 doublers and only 1 is washed. You can see in the photo that it shrunk a lot! And, the microfleece on top puckers now, because it doesn't shrink. So, that's a bit of a bummer. My biggest concern is that with the shrinking, it doesn't come up that far in the cover. I have to be very careful to position Andrew exactly right, or he'll pee right through the cover!
Here are the new and washed doublers next to each other.

Here is the washed doubler in the cover. It seems even shorter when the front of the cover is pulled up on Andrew.

All-in-all, I mostly like it. I wish that the doubler was longer or there were 2 sets of snaps - one for a boy and one for a girl. I think I could use it over night even, since he's not a heavy wetter at all. But, I'm afraid to try, since he does sleep on his tummy a lot now.
