Daily adventures of being "Mom"

Haute Pocket (the diaper)

I think I've told everyone about our new step, to get rid of the disposables! It was still a mild surprise when Gramma showed up with a Haute Pocket Diaper she found perusing in a store. She also brought 12 unbleached Indian Prefolds as stuffers. I prepped with Rockin Green detergent sample I had, and couldn't wait to try it out. This was our FIRST cloth diaper test. I love how soft it was on the inside, and outside too! It also dried in a second compared to the prefolds. I actually laid it outside because I was told it would help increase the life of the diaper to line-dry. I don't have a line yet. Still trying to work around the condo rules, but I laid it on the arm of a chair, and it dried very quickly.

After nap yesterday I put it on her, and loved it! Very easy to put on a wiggly toddler. The velcro was better than a disposable's sticky tabs, and I pre-stuffed the pocket so all I had to do was put it on her.

She poked at it a little bit, but other than that it was playtime as normal. I actually liked the little bubble butt it gave her, but the prefold was definitely bulkier than the insert it came with. I had to go, but hubby reported to me that it wasn't very soaked when he took it off her, and it was "easy".

I'm a little worried about velcro diapers. She has been known to rip off disposables mid-naptime. So we almost always put something on her bottom over her diaper. The velcro on this diaper is definitely tougher, so it'll be harder for D to rip it off, time will tell on this one, and I have a few with velcro. I definitely love the quality of this diaper, the nice fit, and it's a good price! At the local store the Haute diaper, with a newborn-size insert and a larger insert it was 12.95. You also can snap the two inserts together for more absorbancy for nighttime. I think next time we use the Haute we will try it for bedtime. I am very confident in it.


Definitely a keeper!
