I’ve been out of the cloth diaper scene for a few months now since Moreaya potty trained.  It was really my life for the last 4 and a half years so I have a lot of experience with cloth diapers, but I swear things have really changed in just the last few months, including one of the biggest changes in one of the top brands on the market… FuzziBunz!

FuzziBunz Cloth Diapers were one of my favorites with both girls, specifically their Perfect Size Diapers.  Although I loved the concept of an One Size Cloth Diaper, those perfect sizes just gave us the best fit, so I had quite a few in our stash.  Just recently, FuzziBunz changed ownership and with that decided to totally re-design their One Size Cloth Diaper and they sent me a couple to share with you!

While some might call this post a review, please remember that I don’t have a child who is currently wearing cloth diapers so I’m talking mechanics of the diaper only from seeing them up close and personal.  I wish I still had one of the older styles of FuzziBunz One Size Diaper or their Elite to compare with the new style, but alas, I’ll go with my memory and share the differences in the new style PLUS some of the great new features of the new One Size.

The first most noticeable difference is… there are two of them!

FuzziBunz 2 Sizes

Now I know you may be thinking “How is it really a One Size Diaper if there are 2 sizes?”  Let me explain.  One size diapers that truly give a fantastic fit in just ONE diaper are rare… very rare.  In fact, I can only think of one brand that’s managed to make a diaper like that and it’s a bit price-y.  Look at the difference in a 6 pound newborn and a 35 pound toddler.  It’s obvious that they are proportioned differently and just aren’t going to wear the same size.  FuzziBunz took those size differences into consideration and felt that by making 2 sizes of the One Size diaper, they would truly be giving the best fit for the most economical price.

FuzziBunz Crotch Width Differences

Perhaps one of the most difficult areas to get a good fit with One Size Cloth Diapers is the area between the legs.  The crotch width is definitely where a one size diaper has a hard time fitting on a 6 pound newborn.  A wider crotch width is needed for older toddlers, but for little babies it makes their little legs seem so spread apart and honestly looks completely uncomfortable.  As you can see from the picture above, that width is one of the main differences between the Small and Large FuzziBunz One Size Diaper.

FuzziBunz Small Large

The Small size is recommend for 7 pound infants to 30 pound toddlers.  The Large for 10 pound infants to 45 pound children.  As you can see there is definitely an overlap of sizes, which can help you decide which size is right for you.  In a lot of cases, I would imagine that parents would still only need to buy one size of the new One Size FuzziBunz Diapers.

Along with the crotch width, one other really noticeable size difference is the insert.  The Large insert is considerably larger than the Small insert and I did have a bit of a time stuffing the Large insert in the diaper.  The contour-shaped insert is different than the original rectangle shape, but I actually tend to like inserts that are shaped this way.

Now, let’s look at some of the changes that have been made from the older versions to the new.

  • Wider Waist Band with double stitching [and heavier thread] which increases durability and quality.
  • Reinforced button and snap sewing and snap placement adjusted for a better fit.
  • Outer is still a waterproof PUL, but comes in new, fashionable colors.
  • Contour-shaped insert
  • Pocket opening now features a softer elastic which makes stuffing the pocket easier and provides a cleaner look.

Button Sizing

Remember – this is still an adjustable one size diaper, even though there are 2 sizes available.  The adjustment system is also still the same – using the button and hole system to adjust the leg and waist elastic.

The new FuzziBunz One Size Cloth Diapers are available for purchase on Amazon.com.

So there you have it – a look at the brand NEW One Size Cloth Diapers from FuzziBunz!  I want to know…

What do you think?  Do you like the re-design?

  6. ive never used them but am intrigued by the elastic/button system. i love one-size diapers since we don’t have to buy as many diapers 🙂

  8. I liked the concept of the the button elastic used to adjust the rise rather than rise snaps and was sad that the old Fuzzibunz Elite didn’t seem to fit our baby very well so I’m excited to try out the re-design!

  13. I like the new design. Though I haven’t used the previous design, it looks very well thought-out. Especially nice for a mama with a long, skinny baby. Some diapers just won’t fit. 🙂

  14. I am currently expecting with my first and have not clothed diapered yet, but would love to try FuzziBunz diapers as I have read good reviews on them. Thanks for the opportunity:)

  15. The size 1 would be great for my petite daughter. She’s 1 and just still so small, sometimes I feel like her diapers are so wide it makes it harder for her to walk (well, run, she doesn’t walk anywhere anymore). lol

  20. I love that fhey now offer the larger one size option! My son grew out of his old os fuzzibunz before he even hit 20 lbs so we could use these new style much longer

    Reply

  25. From what I can tell these diapers no longer have the leg elastic. While they made the crotch a different size, I still like the customizability of the leg elastic in the older model.

  26. I’m totally new to cloth but I think these are really great! I wasn’t really familiar with them before the redesign but I’d love to give them a try.

    Reply

  27. I like the looks of the new design. Been having problems with trying to find the best fit to my little one, Hopefully this will work.

  28. I have never tried FuzziBunz but I love that they come in 2 sizes because I have a very large baby that never fits into onesize diapers. I usually have to buy extenders for her waist!

    Reply

  32. It looks like a nice diaper. I never tried the first design, but this would be great to try. I like the new colors. Honestly though, it’s not a one size diaper…but I’d still love to try it 🙂

  37. I’m new to cloth diapers, and have yet to try this type of diaper, but it looks like something I would like! I am looking into one size cloth diapers! Thanks!

  38. I really like the idea of the two size concept exp since theres no snap down to make it shorter. We have the older fuzzibunz os and perfect size. Id love to try these.

    Reply

  43. I like the redesign. I’m wondering if the large will fit my 4 year old daughter. She has cerebral palsy and is still in diapers. Would love to try it out on her before making a purchase!

    Reply

  46. I really like the new design! I have the old old style mediums and love them. So I am sure I would love these. I like that they have adjustable elastics!!

    Reply

  47. Yes, I like the redesign & would love to try one (especially the small…I currently have a 2 yr old that will hopefully be out of diapers soon, but my babes are generally petite, she’s only 25 lbs AND we are due w/ our 3rd baby beginning of March, so would love to try out the new design!!)

  49. I hope these are better than the previous “promise these are actually good” variations. The perfect size diapers are awesome and are our go to diapers, but I have been burned too many times on Fuzzibunz failed attempts at a suitable OS. Really only interested in trying these if they are free.

    Reply

  51. I had tried the OS Elite on my daughter and couldn’t get a good fit. It was HUGE on her, as she’s very petite. So, I’d be very interested in trying the new OS Small!

  53. I have been using the 2013 one size for my son, as well as some older older ones that mom passed me from my two youngest siblings. He’s grown out of the old ones, and we are down the the 2013 one sizes. Gotta do laundry more often. I am due with my next child in February and would love to get more before hand, especially some more of the smaller one sizes.

  54. I love that the size two has so much more life in it. I have a big boy and we are having a hard time continuing to cloth diaper him.

    Reply

  59. I love the idea of having two one size diapers. I tend to have thinner, smaller babies and a lot of one size diapers are still very bulky on my 13 pound four month old. I think your small one size will be perfect to get him to potty training age.
