size medium
Soft 100% cotton sherpa fabric. No polyester! Yay!
Size Small Sherpa diaper shown with size small yellow edge Cloth-eez prefold over it to show the size comparison. The length is comparable but Sherpa small is wider, plus it stretches some.
5 months old size medium, 17.5 pounds, on the short way (shorter dimension is the rise direction)
same baby as above. Because the fabric has some stretch, you can get a nice fit at the legs without any elastic. No elastic means easier to wash and faster drying then fitteds, not to mention these cost so much less than fitted diapers, too.
Fabric at rest
Fabric pulled. The fabric has some stretch to it, even though it is 100% cotton, because it is knit.
Flip the diaper 45 degrees, that is, turn it sideways, to get a different length. These are 2 layer through the whole thing and don't have a thicker center pad like regular twill prefolds, so they can be used in either direction just the same way. It makes no difference which direction you use it because it's the same thickness all the way through. Customize to your baby's correct absorbency with the very economically priced Sherpa Doublers (use this link or scroll down for them below). It's nice to have matching fabrics.
Flip it sideways to change the length. Size medium shown.
Also makes a nice flat, real cotton insert for synthetic pockets diapers, GroVia shells, gCovers or other hybrids. Measure the insert you want to replace with cotton to figure out which size to buy. See measurements below.
Not recommended for use with Snappi fasteners. The fabric is too dense for the Snappi to grab it well. Use good quality sharp pins when pinning. Dull or cheap pins will not work easily because the fabric is dense. Prep fully before using. They are very unbleached.
2 layers of 100% cotton soft and squishy, stretchy knit. Unbleached cotton. Wash several or many times on hot before first use. Made in Pakistan.
