I had these diapers reviewed by Mandy.  A loyal and wonderful fan, friend, shopper and follower of Everything Mom and Baby.

Theses are Mandy's words on her review of Cottonkinds, Fitted Diaper and Cover.

The fitted diaper had the most adorable "wise owls" print it was very retro. According to the CottonKind website, the fitted diapers are made with 5 layers of cotton flannel and have a matching doubler with an additional 4 layers. A total of 9 layers in the wet zone. They are made with a higher rise in the back area to keep in "poo-spolsions" and adjust with a hook and loop closure that also contains laundry tabs to help eliminate the tangling of diapers. I personally found the laundry tabs to be slightly smaller in size and therefore they would not keep closed/secured in the wash. As a daytime diaper, they worked well. The absorbancy was fine when changing every 2-3 hours. While using them overnight, they didn't contain well. My little one sleeps through the nights and therefore is a super soaker because of that. The 9 layers of flannel were saturated in the morning.

Diaper Cover
While she was wearing the fitted diaper, we used the cottonkind cover in "bubblegum". I really liked this cover! It fit very well and had the generous rise in the back. I prefer the higher rise diapers for more coverage, but that is just my personal opinion. The cover also has the velcro closures that the fitted diaper has. I really like this for grandparents or daddies that are inclined to put snap diapers on incorrectly. The laundry tabs were again, slightly smaller than normal and therefore caused some issues in the washing process. The cover was easily wipe able so that I could reuse it over again with a fresh diaper. I also used the cover with prefolds and flats and it worked wonderfully!
Cover Features: $15

• Fits perfectly over our Diapers for the complete cloth diapering package
• Snug fitting elastic legs and back to prevent leaks and blowouts
• Laundry tabs keep velcro closed during washing
• Generous velcro tabs adjust to fit as baby grows
• Higher back rise keeps explosions contained

After many uses and laundering, the diapers have essentially held up quite well. The stitching is quite strong and the workmanship is very well done. Although they diapers are not the first ones we reach for, they have remained in our daytime rotation. The cover has been used many times during the day and night, without issue. I hope to use it again in the future on more little ones!
