I would have to say that pocket diapers are my preference above all other types of cloth diapers. While some cloth diapering moms like to avoid fussing with inserts, I do not mind all of the organizing and stuffing. In fact, it is nice to have that kind of separation, especially when it comes to washing and drying. You do not have to worry about what layer of fabric is touching your baby’s skin and they dry so much faster! Plus, I love it when my husband holds them up and asks me which one is which.
When I first discovered the simplistic fluffiness of Pepper’s Potty Pants, I found myself looking forward to trying out one of their pocket diapers. When I received it, the first thing I noticed, next to the adorable Puppy Dog Tail print of course, was the double layer of waterproof PUL fabric and the hidden snaps down the front. The extra PUL helps to avoid wicking, and the snaps allow for changes in rise. Already I could tell it was going to be to love it simply because of its ability grow with baby!
Pepper’s Potty Pants are all 100% handmade with CPSIA components by the designer and owner, Laura, who, after a few false starts and bad luck with commercial patterns, decided to take it upon herself to design her very own line of fluff. As a cloth diapering mother herself Laura new exactly what other cloth diapering moms were looking for in a diaper. Her unique design is known not only for its double layer of PUL, but also for its extra-wide bottom and that extra special loving WAHM touch. The extra wide bottom is perhaps my favorite feature of the diaper. It offers a peace of mind that any mother who has had experience with, dare I say it, “blowouts,” can appreciate.

Pepper’s Potty Pants One-Size Pocket Diaper Put to the Test:
ABSORBENCY: To ensure maximum absorbency and achieve optimal nighttime effectiveness I had to stuff my Pepper’s Potty Pants cloth diaper with my favorite combination of inserts (most cloth diapering moms do this anyway). The microfleece included in the diaper just wasn’t enough. Laura does include an insert sample of bamboo or recycled cotton with each cloth diaper you purchase. Pepper’s Potty Pants will soon have these inserts available for regular purchase as well so be sure to check back at her shop!
CUSTOMER SERVICE: I received my diaper without delay and enjoyed all correspondence. Laura seemed to always be readily available to answer any questions that I had.
FIT: The fact that you can use the hidden snaps on Pepper’s Potty Pants to customize the fit for your baby makes them quite economical. They grow with your baby and you save money by not having to buy more diapers. Furthermore, I have no complaints about redness around my little man’s tummy or chunky thighs (they are red in the photo from riding on his truck). Remember, each baby is different though, but I was quite pleased that this diaper fit him so well.
OH-SO-CUTE FACTOR: Pepper’s Potty Pants not only come in solids and prints, but are available for customization. Personalizing your cloth diapers is always fun!
PERFORMANCE: The extra-wide bottom on Pepper’s Potty Pants cloth diapers made it a terrific daytime diaper. It was able to endure a considerable amount of movement and activity from my rambunctious 14 month old. I have yet to test it as a nighttime diaper because the print is too adorable to not have seen.
PRICE: Considering the craftsmanship and friendly service, I consider Pepper’s Potty Pants to be quite affordable, thus making them a great addition to your fluff stash.
TRIMNESS: Although Pepper’s Potty Pants made for some slight bulk in his pants, they were surprisingly trim and fit around my son’s legs and rested well on hips.
