Favorite features:
1. You can customize your diapers to YOUR style! Choose from the prints I have on hand listed on the shop page or pick any print you've seen at Joann's or on etsy and if I can get it for you, I will (One hint when choosing a fabric: a smaller print pattern will look better than a larger one since you won't be able to see much of a large pattern on a little monkey bum).
2. No snaps, pockets, or poo-trapping crannies to deal with. Nobody wants to fiddle with a dirty diaper to get it ready to wash. And wouldn't you rather spend time playing with your baby than stuffing pockets and prepping diapers? Monkey Do to the rescue! We make it easy to cloth diaper!
3. Versatile soaker options. I like a super trim, disposable-looking fit, so I use a thin but highly absorbent soaker made from a super soft sherpa fabric. But if you have a favorite soaker or prefer using prefolds, anything works!
4. If baby just wets, you can reuse the same cover--just get a new soaker. The inside fabric is made from a breathable, waterproof fabric that feels soft like cotton (not plasticky like PUL) but won't absorb liquid.
5. One set of Monkey Do Diapers will fit babies from about 9lbs until potty trained. No need to buy sets of each size or find the right brand to fit chunky legs or slender legs. Monkey Do Diapers can do it all!
The Full Scoop
Monkey Do Diapers are a one size fits all cover that will fit your baby from 9 lbs. to potty training. This design is unique in a number of ways so I suggest taking a look at the video for a visual demo. This cloth diaper is virtually leak-proof without any snaps or buttons or complicated adjustments. You simply lay a microfiber soaker inside (or any other soaker--a hand towel would even do the job in a pinch)
and put it on like you would a disposable, with the hook and loop tabs right at the navel. Wrap the tabs around baby nice and snug to assure no leaks out the top.
If your baby is little, fold the belly edge down on itself (see video for visual instruction) to shrink the body of the diaper--no snaps!
Tuck the cover around the legs so that it rides right in the crease of the leg like underwear would. Make sure the cotton side stays on the outside of the diaper so you don't have a wicking problem. Then use the cord locks to snug the leg holes to fit your baby's legs--snug but not tight (yay for a diaper that doesn't leave any red marks!). I use a heavy-duty elastic cord and it should retain its elasticity for ages, but I can use polyester cording upon request.
Last, fold the arched back down for a finished look.
