Susan at Monkey Toe Diapers sent me a yellow Nykibaby One Size Diaper with black suede cloth lining to review. The Nykibaby One Size Diaper should fit little ones 8 - 40 pounds, and the snaps make it possible to get the perfect fit.
Smallest SizingThe size and fit reminded me of our beloved Fuzzibunz Perfect Fit. The Nykibaby One Size Diaper also has a unique welt-style pocket opening to make stuffing and removing the insert even easier. It comes with a micro fiber towel -- to stuff, fold each corner into the center, and then fold into thirds to give 6 layers of absorption; you have the option of upgrading to a Hemp Bamboo insert for an additional $4.
Susan bought Sugar Plum Baby to have her own diaper label and pattern, after starting to sew cloth diapers for her son (about 5 years ago), naming it Monkey Toe, after a game her husband played with their son. She can custom make a newborn, one-size, or extra-large diaper in various colors, specializing down to the snap and lining colors. You can also choose the suede lining or a chamois -- suede is easier to clean messes off of, but it seemed to inhibit air flow and irritated my daughter's skin (Update: It's been about 3 weeks, and my daughter is now fine with it! Not sure if it was her or the diaper.)
I like the construction of the diaper. It functions very well, and we had no problems with leaks or a proper, comfortable fit. I also appreciate Susan's craftsmanship -- it is extremely well made! It's a very trim diaper, and the only bulk is from the terry insert, unlike other brands which tend to be fluffier. Overall, I'd give it a 9.5, because of the issues with suede we personally had (but I'm considering trying one with the chamois or fleece for better breathability).
Susan is graciously offering a 15% discount off her Monkey Toe Diapers with coupon code MEINMOMMY, valid until August 2011.
