Do you want it to be a pocket or can it be something else?? As I think a fitted is trimmr. I don't personally know I am just going by what has been said in the past. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I don't think you will get a really trim night time nappy. They have to be a bit more bulky to last 12hrs. Some fitteds can be trimmer but then some are bulkier but have wicked absorbency but then you need to remember they need some kind of cover.
What don't you like about the naps you have? Is it just the bulk? |

what are you stuffing the pockets with kandice? i doubt you will be able to get anything that's as trim as in itti bitti
for nights, we use a prefold and a peapod hemp trifold stuffed into a baby harmony nap and it's not too big bummed...lasts 13-14hrs  ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

| Probably the smallest we have is a bitti boo with longies but if shes a big wetter you will need a booster as well. Its still bigger than a dlish tho. |

If you want something that's really absorbent but cut trim in the legs then DB hemp fitteds are really good! They're side snapping and whilst they have heaps of boosting so are kind of bulky (bubble-butt ) they are not too bulky between the legs because they're cut trim through the middle.

Here's some pics of Leo wearing his large DB fitted, stuffed with an extra bamboo booster to last him 13hrs overnight.

Gorgeous!!
I bought some of the DB pocket fitteds so I can still stuff with the inserts I'd put in K's night pocket. Then I use longies over the top. I agree with the DB's being rather trim through the crotch. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks Tiff - yes he is very cheeky!
He loves that Autumn DB fitted nappy so much - he'll always pick it first at night and even asks for it during the day, so he obviously doesn't think it's too bulky! Vic xx |

I have taken a totsbots flexitot out of my stock to try on DS - I have tried it on him and it seems trim and fits so well. We are having leaking nappies overnight (again) so I hope these do the trick! 
Vic - Leo is GORGEOUS!! ------------- Mum to Ellie, Dylan & Lauren |

Ooooh, I've read about the Flexitots on a UK board - just had a look on your website - eeek, they're not cheap for a fitted nappy! Can't wait to hear your review. Vic xx |

I am trying it tonight so will let you know The price is the same as all totsbots fitted nappies (except cotton tots) - they have had a price increase recently - first one in 3 years!

Wow, it looks really trim on Dylan - not sure it would fit around Leo's big gut though!! lol
How did it hold up overnight? Vic xx |

Just coming on to post a review
The nappy was a great fit on my 16kg 2.8 year old - the nappy is really stretchy in all directions with a REALLY soft inside
Dylan wore the nappy with a bamboo booster & a hemp booster with a tots wrap and it lasted 12 hours! I was so happy to wake up to a DRY boy (it has been a while!!) ------------- Mum to Ellie, Dylan & Lauren |

So that is a fitted with a cover? I have just moved Luke up to a toddler size Huggies to stop leaking at night (we are in cloth during the day) and last night he leaked out of that too (11pm!) So am starting to wonder whether I need to try a fitted something instead ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

Rachael can I ask what covers do use? I ask this because I've been using the Tots Bots bamboozles (which I love), but I have issues with Rohann as she gets excema around her waist (under nappy area), around the top of her thighs and heading 'down stairs'. It started as she turned out to be allergic to Curash powder  will often flare up after a night nappy has been on. It's gotton to a stage where we are using disposables at night so we can put cream on etc (although I do use a micro fleece liner), and I wondered if these would help draw the moisture away better. But I've recently been reading that maybe a fleece cover would be better (I've been using the tots bots pul?? covers) as the apparently are better for sensitive skin?? I've used wool soakers but unfortunately that also flares up her excema. I really want to get back to using cloth 100% of the time.
Sorry for the novel - any other ideas would be great. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Sorry to butt in but I have a few friends who use the Tots Bots fleece cover and love them - especially for overnight. I haven't heard how effective they are on sensative skin though. I bought a second-hand SB fleece cover and it looks so soft & lovely - although I ahven't been able to use it yet as it's in my SNS (secret newborn stash ). I think it could be worth a try on Rohann - I really hope her rash clears up soon

Hi
I've used the Bummis wraps, Totsbots wraps and the totsbots fleece covers. Do you think it could be the fact that the fitted night nappy is quite wet (being used overnight) causing her to flare up? It may be the nappy not the actual cover ?! I would suggest using a really good microfleece liner - even if you had one that is shaped to go around the top of the nappy too to help with moisture. You really need to keep as much moisture as possible away from her skin to keep it drier so the liner would be a suggestion. I am not sure if using a different cover would prevent the flareups, it is the wetness that sits on her skin that would be the issue. Hopefully it clears up soon....horrible seeing them with sore botties ------------- Mum to Ellie, Dylan & Lauren |

Thanks Rachael (and Vic!!). I've tried the micro-fleece liner and have made it nappy shaped so that no bamboo touches her at all, but it dosn't seem to help much. I agree though Rachael that it's how wet the nappy gets over night thats the problem (I'm also having to be really careful to not keep a nappy on too long during the day for this reason), it can happen occasionally with the disposables but not as badly and the disposables mean I can put heaps of cream on overnight. I think I'm just going to have to accept that for now I'll be using disposables And to think I was so proud having never bought a pack of disposables before ------------- http://lilypie.com">
