Read more about the new Swaddlebees Simplex 100% cotton aio
MADE IN USA! 100% white cotton birdseye inside. Smartly sewn so the inner doubler is underneath the inside cotton surface for fast drying. This makes the part next to baby so smooth. I love this!! no bumps, no rise snaps. No fiddling with size adjustments becuase this comes in 3 sizes so it fits really nicely. You can add extra absorbency in the section where the inner doubler lives if you need to, but you might not need to because it's 11 layers of birdseye. It is trim. It's our trimmest all-in-one. It snaps towards the back at the sides. While this back-snapping style is a little less familiar than the snaps-across-the-front style, it really makes for a good fit on baby. I just love cotton and I don't like bumps, so my personal preference is for a true sized diaper instead of an adjustable one with snap bumps. Since the inner doubler is attached, there are no pieces to find, assemble or stuff after washing. I really like that too. And of course, I love made in the USA. Note: I think they run a bit smaller because they are trim-fitting. The large is larger than the largest setting on the GroVia aio because the rise is taller so it fits longer. See this on a baby.
Size small: 8-16 pounds
Size medium: 12-25 pounds (runs smaller, 12-22)
Size large: 22-35 pounds (runs smaller, 20-35)

Swaddlebees Simplex AIO VERSION 2
GMD has WHITE! We custom-ordered white. White diapers are actually our biggest seller! Prints are cute, defnitely, but white is nice under clothes for no show-through.
large on a toddler.
Similar, but not the same as the original version above. There are 2 big differences. The obvious one is that this has one more set of snap adjustments and the fabric the snaps are set into is stretchy. Really very stretchy. Also the cut is trimmer across the bottom. I think that big round-bottomed babies (often girls with big-booty shapes) in the size large especially, might not have enough coverage in back. Average or trim bottoms, however, might really like this trim fit. Made in USA.
Size medium: 12-25 pounds

Be Realistic
Don't be wowed by unrealistic claims. I promise you that there is no such thing as tremendous absorbency without bulk when it comes to cloth diapering. More absorbency means more bulk. More bulk means more absorbency. That is the way is it is. Always. Including synthetic pocket diapers, (and note that there is apparently no such thing as dye-free polyester fleece. Both white and natural stay-dry polyester are dyed that color, according to what Malden Mills tells us.) Additional inserts give more absorbency, and also more bulk. There is nothing magic about it. A diaper that is trim will NEVER be as absorbent as a diaper that is thick. It is impossible. Even for microfiber, bamboo, hemp or whatever. Cotton is the easiest absorbent fiber to wash and keep clean. It doesn't hold onto odors like synthetic fibers do. Read more of our opinions down farther on this page.
Karen keeps talking about it all:
There is no such thing as "super-absorbent" in cloth diapering. The absorbency of hemp and cotton is very comparable, and one bunch of cotton by weight has the same absorbency as the next bunch of cotton of the same weight. Trying to find a diaper that fits under clothes that were made to be worn over a disposable diaper? It's not the cloth diaper that is too bulky, it's the clothes that are too trimly cut! Be selective about choosing baby's clothes keeping roominess through the rear in mind for a properly sized cloth diaper. Overly trim (too tight) diapers are not comfortable for baby and you will have more blowouts with diapers that are too small. Do your homework before you invest in your baby's cloth diapering wardrobe. Check out our easy return policy, with no restocking fees.
We don't sell synthetic pocket diapers.
If it just says "cloth diaper", but doesn't tell you the fabric content and country of origin as it properly should, then buyer beware - it's probably 100% polyester. While synthetic pocket diapers do get put on baby like an AIO, we do not consider them a true AIO because they really are a 2 piece system. Pocket diapers need need to be stuffed and ~unstuffed~, whereas and AIO is really all-in-one, diaper and cover are sewn together; truly one-piece. We think true AIOs are superior, and the cotton AIOs do not need to be stripped and do not have repelling issues or stink issues like stay-dry synthetic diapers do. Repelling is when the polyester fleece gets detergent buildup (or fabric softener or a diaper cream residue) on it and the pee won't go through the fleece - the pee repels - causing leaks. Will the baby feel wet if you don't use a stay-dry diaper? Yes, but it will not bother baby, and feeling wet encourages more frequent changes which is healthy and good! Really, it won't bother baby. But it might bother you at first, because we have been so "marketed to", into thinking stay-dry is a must. It's not. You have to try cotton to believe it. It works, baby is comfy! I know you have to rearrange how you think because the big advertisers have so brainwashed us into thinking baby cannot "feel wet", but for generations cotton worked perfectly, and babies bottoms were healthy and generally rash-free and diaper-cream-free. Now with the stay-dry stuff, parents are going way too long between changes because no one realizes the diaper is wet, and the result of this is diaper rash and the need for constant use of creams. In cotton, baby needs no creams typically. Try cotton! Your baby will love it! It works, it's not petroleum or chemical-filled. It's soft and wonderful. Baby will not mind wet cotton. By the time baby is old enough to mind it, baby is old enough to begin potty learning and will learn about a year sooner than a stay-dry diapered baby, thus saving a ton of money in that final year, when age-mates are still in diapers but your child is in underwear, typically.
What is an all-in-one diaper (AIO)?
An all-in-one diaper is a diaper and cover built together so it's one piece. All-in-one ("aio") diapers do not require a cover, because the cover is sewn onto the diaper already, hence the name "all-in-one".
All-in-one diapers can be used full time for the easiest possible method of cloth diapering. They are more expensive than separate diaper and cover systems. But the convenience of the all-in-one diapers can't be beat! All-in-one diapers are the only kind of cloth diaper my husband has EVER put on our first 2 children, other than disposable diapers before we learned about cloth. (By our third, though, he could use anything.) He said that they are even easier to put on than disposable diapers. I agree. Even if you choose a separate diaper and cover system, it’s great to have at least a few all-in-ones on hand for times when you’d like the extra convenience of an all-in-one. All-in-ones are the perfect diapering choice for those who are making the switch from disposables to cloth for the first time. They are so easy to use! But, because the waterproof layer connected to the diaper, it takes a beating at washtime and aios in larger sizes do not last as long as separate diaper and cover systems. But the convenience can't be beat. We don't recommend aios for overnight or long-term diapering (long-term diapering means going a very long time between changes), unless you use a doubler or 2 and a cover over it. (Exception: aios may be a good choice for overnight for a child who is transitioning to becoming night toilet trained, because of the ease of getting them on and off to use the toilet and the because of trimness of them, which is usually more acceptable and comfortable to day-trained children who are used to underwear, but need something still at night just in case. AIOS are great for potty learning.) Another exception: AIOs can be a good choice for night ifyou are changing baby throughout the night. If changing, then the convenience is nice in the night, but they are really not made for long-term overnight diapering. For older babies who wet heavily at night, we still recommend a good wool pull-on cover such as Lana Night or Disana and perhaps a nice fitted diaper and doubler, especially if baby sleeps through. Nothing beats the wool night.
Does a one-size diaper last all the way from birth to potty? No, in my experience cotton items usually need replacing after about a year. Just like socks get holes, so do diapers over time and with use. But, since baby grows fast and the multi-adjusting size grows with baby, "one-size" diapers can still make a lot of sense. And they are handy when 2 babies of different sizes can both fit into the diaper. They last well and you get good use from them, but they will eventually wear out. We make no promises about handing things down to the next baby. In the newborn and small sizes, often you do hand them down, but the medium and large sizes fit and are used for a very long time - those are usually done after one child, but not always. There are many factors that play into a diaper's longevity, such as wash temperature, the kind of washer, the kinds of laundry products used, drying temperature, washing frequency and cycles used and even the water itself makes a difference. They do last well so don't worry, but be realistic about your durability expectations.
Many people will own a few to 6 aios, and use them when others might change the baby, such as the sitter, church nursery volunteers, grandparents, daycare providers, or in my case, my husband! Aios can be used full time, but they are expensive compared to separates, and require more frequent changing than most separate diaper and cover systems. Once in a while, a baby might stay in size medium or large long enough to wear them out before that size is outgrown, so re-buying the same size is a possibility, especially if you try to get by with only 18 aios and wash them nearly every day. Really 36 or so are needed for full time use. So if your budget allows it and you desire simple, quick changes, the convenience is nice. I'm sorry this is so long and wordy!
