Mainstream fitted?

GavinRonansMom

can someone recommend a fitted I can buy from abbyslane, KC, I am a little intimidated about fitteds for some reason.

I think I need a new night time option my DS is pretty wet in the mornings and I have a a BG on him with both inserts and a hemp, so I am not much sure what else I can stuff in there.  

 Either way please help with my night time issue, I need some direction

I have a couple KiwiPie's which I like alot and do well during the day without a cover.  But, I'm not a big fitted overnight fan because I just don't like DS's entire diaper area being damp.  Maybe I'm not doing it right but everytime he's in a fitted for longer then 2 or 3 hrs the entire thing is saturated. 

Anyway, I would suggest getting some hemp inserts or prefolds to put in a BG or another pocket that works for you.  I recently purchased a hemp babies prefold and used that with a MF insert in a BG 3.0 and it worked really well.  I also got some HH hemp doublers and those have worked well too. 

GL!

so wait fitteds don't have that "stay-dry" type feeling like a BG?

You could try thirsties duo fitted which just came out last week.  It has reports of being a good overnight option because you can stuff them.

I've used Happy Hempys in the past. They are readily available, they have a pocket so you can stuff them as much as you want, and they are available in a fully fleece-lined version if you want the stay-dry feeling.

They were bulletproof for DD under a thick wool cover. And that girl could SOAK a diaper. A BG with both inserts + hemp would hold her for maybe 2 hours during the day, no way would they hold her overnight.

Nope, regular fitteds are not stay dry. We have used them at night, but we are steering away from them because of the wetness factor. I mostly use pockets at night and fitted during the day.

fitteds are entirely cotton, velour, etc...not stay dry material like in BG's or FB's or other pockets.

This is not true. It happens that MOST fitteds are not stay dry, and MOST pockets are stay dry... but there are fitteds that ARE stay dry (Happy Hempys, Very Baby Simply Nights, also the new Thirsties Fab Duo), and there are pockets that are NOT stay dry (Swaddlebees Econappi, Green Acre Designs bamboo)

oh sorry.  I should have prefaced with 'in my experience with 7 types of fitteds,' none of them were stay dry.
