How to Measure Your
Baby:
Before checking the
cloth diaper size charts, you need to know how to measure your own baby for a
perfect fit. Generally, 4 measurements are critical for cloth diaper size
selection:
- Leg or
Thigh: Measure where the elastic of a diaper would normally be -
around the meatiest part of the baby's thigh.
- Rise:
Measure from mid-back at the waistline to slightly below the baby's
belly where his/her diaper normally would come up to.
- Waist:
Measure around the baby's waist. Measure over diaper for cover size.
- Crotch:
Measure between legs at front. Measure over diapers for cover size.

Measuring Your Baby:
To measure your baby's thighs Measure
where the elastic of a diaper would normally be - around the meatiest part of
the baby's thigh. To
measure your baby's rise Measure from
mid-back at the waistline to slightly below his belly where his/her diaper
normally would come up to.
*Please note: These
measurements take into consideration only one insert in the FuzziBunz at a time.
Always try your new FuzziBunz on your baby with an
insert for size before washing / using. If the
cloth diaper size chart is still baffling you... Here is some additional
information for you to use in trying to choose the best size for your baby:
- XS FuzziBunz are for either preemie or
very small babies - they will fit newborns very well, however, not for a
very long time.
- Small FuzziBunz will fit babies that are
newborn (although they may be a tad big at first) through about 6 or 8
months of age when they are ready for the mediums.
- Medium FuzziBunz will fit babies with
either small or large thighs. Medium is our most popular size because babies
stay in this size the longest! They will fit babies from about 4 months old
(depending on their growth rate and size build) up to potty training stages.
- Large FuzziBunz will generally not start
fitting your baby until at the very least, 12 months old or are in the
weight range or very tall.
- Petite, Toddler and XL are specialty
sizes. Mediums have been found from our size testing to fit better and for
longer periods than the Petite size diaper for skinny toddlers. XL can be
used for older
potty training children or other circumstances where larger diaper
needed.

FuzziBunz One Size Diaper
The
FuzziBunz® ONE SIZE diaper is adjustable through adjustable elastic, NOT snap
downs on the front of the diaper like most
one size diapers on the market today. Similar to adjustable waistbands for
children and maternity wear, the waist and legs have been made customizable
through a button / elastic adjustment system. So instead of 3 length settings,
you can set to 8+ very customizable sizes. Instead of NO waist settings, you
have up to 4+. So you have a SUPER adjustable diaper without an excess of snaps.
It may take a bit of "adjusting" to get to the right size, but when you find the
right fit, you set it and forget it.

(Extra-Small) fits from 6-12 pounds. It is intended for a newborn
and fits low, below the navel, to keep the umbilical area dry. This
diaper is designed to fit during that itty-bitty newborn stage.

-
M (Medium)
fits from 15 - 22 pounds.
-
L (Large)
fits from 22 - 30 pounds.
The XS size was designed to fit under your newborn's umbilicus to keep the
entire umbilical area free of moisture and dampness. Gentle elastic at the
waist and legs does a fantastic job of containing messes. The
disposable-like hook & loop closures even fasten on top of each other to
accommodate even the tiniest of babies.
