What are some trim-fitting fitted CD's people like using?
I am currently using Kissaluvs, but find them to be a bit bulky on my 8-week old. Otherwise, they are ok.
Appreciate the input,
Cheryl :)

The trimmest things I have tied are:
1) a CPF with a Snappi using the bikini twist and a very trim cover like a Bummis
2) a pocket diaper (like a Fuzzibunz) with a hemp insert
Both are pretty trim. The Fuzzibunz is as trim as a disposable.

I love Crickett's hemp!! They are pretty trim considering how absorbent they are (I don't need a doubler with these), and the elastic is a little snugger than most of the fitteds, good for skinnier babies. For a younger baby, you can use them without the soaker.
Fuzzibunz are trim but just aren't working for my little guy - red marks on the legs and they just don't stuff right (we need all the absorbency in the front).
The best price I found on the Crickett's was at www.juliesstuff.com.

Thanks for bearing with all my questions. One more: what other pocket CD's exist besides Fuzzibunz? I will do a search, but am interested in hearing what other people like using, especially ones that are not as expensive.
Thanks again,

Hi Lori -
Thanks for responding. How is the rise on Crickett's dipes are they as low on your son as Kissaluvs?
Thanks again,
Cheryl :)
Lori,
Cricketts is local here in Chapel Hill does she not have the best prices on her own products???? I want to purchase some based on your recommendation...
I think I want to wait for my investment once Tristan weighs about 12lbs so that I can stay in them. I plan on using PFs till then...Just trying to save mula!!!
Others I have seen recommended are Happy Heinies (~$13.50) and Zootkitty (~$12.50). I haven't tried either. All pocket CDs are in approximately the same price range. I would go with what fits your babe.

Cheryl,
I haven't tried Kissaluvs (although the one I ordered should be here next week) But I don't consider the rise on Crickett's to be low - they come up to his belly button, and he is long.
Neve - yes, Julie is lower than Crickett on Crickett's dipes! I'd suggest waiting until you see Tristan's body type - if he is a chubbier baby, they might not fit him as well. The leg elastic is snugger than most dipes.

I think he is going to be long and on the trim side...his cheeks are huge!!! but I don't think he is chubby (yet he weighs a lot). He might be solid but he doesn't appear chubby, his legs appear very long and he has calves.... (I don't know what to compare it to though)...:)...
I like my Darling Diaper AIOS. They're pretty trim and very absorbant! I think she's working on a pocket diaper style too. :)
