This is a follow-up of a previous article on my diaper hunt for larger pocket diapers that fit chubby-thighed Baby V. After trying out one Knickernappies 2G Pocket Diaper (Large) (listed price: S$26.50) on Baby V over the past month, I love it so much that I have bought five more from Whoopeekiddies during a recent sale.

It is very trim when used with LoopyDo 2G inserts and pants fit nicely over it — perfect for outings. Since it is a sized diaper, there are less snaps settings to figure out compared to a one-size diaper. Baby V is using only the second snaps in each row, so I am pleased that there is ample room for growth. Although the rise is a little high for him now, he will grow taller and this would not matter soon. I like the large coverage provided by the wide crotch and front elastics that prevent leakage when Baby V is on his tummy.

The inner fleece layer feels damp during diaper changes, so whether you like it depends on if your baby is particular about dampness. Personally, I find that dampness aids potty-training progress.

Being a side-snapping diaper, Knickernappies 2G offers these benefits:

• Independent adjustment of the waist and thigh settings, which is exactly what Baby V needs
• Diaper can be pulled up and down to be used as training pants later on, which saves money on getting cloth training pants, especially important since Baby V is already in the pre-potty training stage. (Update: Since he is very chubby, it is easy to pull the diaper now but hard to pull it up.)
• Easy to put onto a super-active baby, even if he is standing (Just need to remember the settings, snap four times and the child is free to go.)

I am looking forward to pre-washing and using all the new diapers!

What we like about them:

• Very trim (especially when used with LoopyDo 2G inserts) — great for outings and under pants
• Gentle elastics that prevent red marks
• Front elastics that prevent leakage when baby is on his tummy
• Wide crotch provides large coverage

What can be improved:

• Slightly stronger elastics at the thighs (I am not sure if the current ones can hold in explosive breastfed-baby’s poo.)
• Introduce cute prints

Trim, absorbent and dries fast!

These LoopyDo inserts by Knickernappies are my current favourites! I bought four pieces (RRP: USD7.49 each) and washed them twice with other new inserts before using. As I frequently use microfibre insert with a hemp booster, these trim 2-in-1 inserts fit my preference perfectly. The hemp material is very soft and the inserts stay in great shape when worn. I could not resist touching Baby V’s bums when he is using the inserts!

The ones that I bought are the 2G version, 16″ x 5.5″. Though they are relatively narrow compared to other inserts, they did not scrunch up at the crotch when used with Drybees Fleece Pocket Diapers, to my relief.

Currently, these LoopyDos are used for night-time, together with 2 GAD Hemp Diaper Doublers, providing excellent absorbency over 12 hours.

For outings, my latest preference is to use a LoopyDo with a Knickernappies 2G Pocket Diaper, which is extremely trim even under pants.

Pros:

• Prewashed — can be used immediately
• Trim combination of microfibre and hemp (clever design!), fantastic for outings
• Loop design enables faster drying

Cons:

• Even the new 2G version is still relatively narrow
