Fitted Diapers are soft fabric diapers that are pre- formed (unlike prefolds and flats). These diapers are very breathable, however, they do require that a diaper cover be used on top to keep them completely waterproof. In summer months and warmer climates many parents let their babies go coverless. Going coverless let's you know instantly when baby has peed. This is a great option if your baby is suffering from a rash since the diaper themselves are very breathable when there is no cover on. Going coverless when you are helping your baby to potty learn, is also a great idea!

A fitted diaper can be made out of cotton, hemp, bamboo, or any combination of those materials. A fitted diaper has elastized legs and will fasten shut with either snaps or velcro, making it very easy to put on baby. A fitted diaper that also has a pocket can be used unstuffed. The pocket is there to be used if you need to increase the absorbency of the diaper. A contoured diaper is the same as a fitted, but has no snap or velcro to keep it closed.
