The original Kushies diaper has 8
layers of 100% cotton flannel plus an inner waterproof barrier. They also have the same built in flap as the Kushies Ultra Diaper. Soft leg elastic
and adjustable hook and loop fastening closures ensure a snug fit. Machine washable and
dryable. This is a very soft and absorbent diaper.
Since they have a waterproof barrier
built in, you should be able to go for an hour or so without any leaking. Some parents find that they don't need a cover at all but we recommend when you try one of these diapers (at least at first) you should use an Bummis
pant, the Prorap Classic,
the Bummis
Super or the Kushies
wrap. Most babies may need to have a cover on the Kushies Classic all of the time to prevent leaks, although some moms tell me that they don't ever use a cover with this diaper.
The Infant size will not fit your newborn - it its really too big. It will start fitting most babies when they are around one month old. Kushies diapers come to me in presorted packages of prints and
solids. Because I get a random assortment, specific color and print choices
are not available. Made in Canada by Kushies.

When trying to decide upon a diaper size, start with the suggested weights and then see if the waist, leg and rise measurements of your baby fall into the range. Check the rise on the diaper that you are interested in, it will help in being more accurate on where the waist on that diaper will fall on your child and if it will fit into the cover that you want to use. If you start with the measurements you may end up with a cover that is way too big. For all the fitted diapers, you are looking for waist and leg measurements that fall in about the same place in the range. The smallest leg measurements were taken when the cover was fastened on the smallest waist setting. If your baby’s waist measurement is on the lower end of the range and the leg measurement is on the higher end of the range, the diaper may be too tight at the legs.
To prevent any moisture transfer, a cover is required with this diaper. |
