Take time to smell the rose: Haute Pocket Review & Giveaway Compliments of Nicki's Diapers

~~~THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED~~~

About Haute Pockets!

The Haute Pocket One Size Diaper is a cloth diaper that will fit babies from 8 lbs to 35 lbs. There are 3 rows of snaps on the front of the diaper to adjust to 3 different sizes. Haute Pockets are made with snaps or hook & loop closures. Each diaper comes with 2 fluffy microfiber inserts, one longer and one smaller, that fit inside the Haute Pocket perfectly.

The Haute has a waterproof outer and a super soft microfleece inner layer to wick away the wetness from the baby. There is one large opening to easily stuff your diapers and take out the dirty inserts when you are through.

Features:

Available in both SNAP and HOOK & LOOK (Velcro) fastenings
Will fit MOST babies from 8-35 lbs In the newest version the snap closures are now the same size as the hook & loop!!
Adjust the rise as baby grows, makes cloth diapering even more economical. SAVE MONEY!!!
Each Haute "Traditional" Pocket™ comes with TWO super absorbent microfiber inserts that can be snapped together to suit any situation!
Soft, waterproof outer with squishy soft microfleece inner wicks moisture away from your baby's skin.
Generous pocket opening makes insert removal simple.

Haute Pockets are the very first one size diaper we have used. I was very skeptical of using one size diapers, but when Ethan started to outgrow his small sized diapers at 4 months old I was looking for a larger diaper. After hearing great reviews about the Haute Pocket One Size diapers I decided to try them out. I purchased several Haute Pocket seconds at Cloth Diaper Clearance. These diapers looked perfect and I was pleasantly surprised they worked great on Ethan. We have never had any leaking issues with our Haute Pockets.

Nicki's Diapers sent me a snap Haute Pocket for review & comparison since all I have is hook & loop. I received the Haute Pocket in the Auqa color. The snap diaper fits just as great as the hook & loop diaper. This is the first diaper I've used that I can say I can get the same fit from both versions. I love hook & loop, but I know that the snaps will outlast the hook & loops diapers.

Haute Pockets have been my very favorite one size diaper. They are large enough in the rise, yet a little more slender in the width. Haute Pockets have always fit Ethan perfect and we have never had trouble with leaks. For several months all I had in my stash was a few Haute Pockets and obviously I was washing them almost everyday. They have held up wonderful and have worn well.

Our Favorite Features of the Haute Pocket!

The great fit from 8 lbs up to 35 lbs (Ethan is currently 23 lbs but really tall)
Soft microfleece that does not pill.
Able to get a nice snug fit around waist and skinny thighs.
They have worn very well for the past year.
