What Every Mom Should Know About Velcro-Like Closures
Purchasing a stash of cloth diapers can be very expensive. So before you spend the dough, make sure you spend the time researching each diapers' attributes. Pay careful attention to how the diaper brand wears over time. You will be washing these diapers a lot, so they must be made with durable materials that can withstand washer and dryer abuse.
The Benefits of Snaps:
Durable - Snaps are durable and are made to last and last. Unlike Velcro closures, there is no fraying or curling, seams snagging, or tabls filled with lint and hair - ick!
Better look - Snaps always look and feel nice. No unsightly strip of scratchy Velcro sewn across entire top front of the diaper.
No maintenance - Snap closures eliminate the need for ongoing maintenance. Velcro requires constant cleaning to remove hair and lint.
Truly easy for dad - The diapers snap on, snap off and then are put in the pail for washing. Dads and diapering novices may not remember to put down the Velcro tabs (required on all diapers with Velcro Closures) before each wash to prevent stickies build-up.
No snags or snakes - With snaps, your diapers won't stick to one another ("snake together) or snag the seams of your other diapers or clothes.
No irritation - If Velcro curls up, it may rub against your baby's skin and cause irritation. Snaps are smooth and never irritate a baby's delicate skin.
Child-proof - Snaps stay snapped! If your child gets curious about their diaper, they can easily undo the Velcro closures and create a mess!
Less ick - Think about this: What do you do if poop gets stuck in the Velcro tabs? Nuff said

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 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 is needed.
Disclaimer: Our Size Chart has recently been updated to reflect more up to date size data. FuzziBunz® diapers have NOT changed their sizes - only the size chart.
