Ease of Use ✩✩✩✩ In many ways I find the Pooters Contour (and others) to be even easier than fitteds with snaps or aplix closures. To newbies I’m sure the lack of any concrete markers for fit can be scary but really, it is not that bad. The best part is that you get the exact size you want. Snappis also may look a bit scary but they get easier the more you practice with them.
Bang for the Buck ✩✩✩✩✩ 6.00! One Size! I don’t even think I have to justify what a great deal that is. I will admit that you might spend a little more if you have to buy a doubler (likely for toddlers or overnight usage) but that is still a far cry from some of the more expensive (and more complicated) fitteds.
Performance ✩✩✩✩ Daytime we did not use a doubler and it would be soaked in about 3 hours for Ev (7 months old). I wouldn’t call him a heavy wetter, just average. Nights I used the hemp doubler (also from Pooters) and had no leaks once it was fully prepped. I jumped the gun and used that combo after maybe 2 washes and I did get a leak. Lesson learned, I will be less impatient next time.
Fit ✩✩✩✩ I think this contour will last up to potty learning. Another brand I have been trying has Ev on the largest possible option and he is about to max out the waist and the rise. You can find a photo of a newborn in the contour on Pootersdiapers.com. It is bulky but looks like it fits, but will probably fit even better in a mere 1-2 pounds for that baby.
Overall: This is another fantastic product from Pooters. I also reviewed their fitted and loved it. I think I will have to try their pocket (by request) next and hope it is as good as their others. I also just have to add that working with the owner of Pooters, Majaliwa, has always been a pleasure. I can tell how much she cares about her products and cloth diapering even through email. She is a great mom to buy from and support! I think that Contours are often forgotten when looking into cloth diapers. I don’t see why! They are easy and less expensive that fitteds.

I was asked to review this new fitted diaper to the market, Pooters. Funny name, good diaper.
Ease of Use ✰✰✰✰ Though this diaper has snaps, it is easy enough to figure out. There are cross over tabs on each side which saves you having to remember which side has them. Since I frequently get confused (different brands use different sides) I liked that feature. To adjust the rise of the diaper you can fold it over.
Bang for the Buck✰✰✰✰✰ This diaper is very, very affordable. For 12 dollars you can get a fitted that is absorbent enough for night time. It isn’t made in the US, and that can explain the cheap price. That may deter some buyers.
Performance ✰✰✰✰ I have been using this as my night time diaper for some time now. I add a booster made from soft bamboo, strictly for keeping something soft against my baby’s boy parts.
Fit✰✰✰ I would like to see this diaper have a higher rise. It was at the perfect point for my son, but I can tell he will outgrow it soon enough. He is usually in a Medium so this is a problem for babies wearing Larges. The snaps are great for skinny babies though, it will go very tight. It snapped at a great waist fit for us.
Overall- This is a new diaper and one that has a lot going for it. I think if they can adjust the rise to be a tad longer they will be able to be an even better diaper. You can also get this diaper in cotton, but we tested the hemp version. It was very absorbent as well. Since I am using it on a very regular basis you can be sure I do like it!
