One size cloth diapers are a fairly new concept.  They represent the ultimate cloth diapering option for both economic and eco-friendly reasons.  With modern cloth diapers, one of the original advantages was that they are reusable and can be used and saved for future children.  You invest in cloth for the first child and in return can then cloth diaper future children for no cost at all.

One size diapers came along and further simplified the cloth diapering world.  Families no longer had to worry.  Question like these used to be standard…

• Would their newborn need an xtra small or small?
• How many do you need and how soon will they need the next size up?
• Would the time spent in a certain size justify the expense?
• Should you try and start with a larger size and hope baby grows into it quickly?
• What if baby needs an in between size?
• What if you have two in diapers and one will wear a small while the other needs a large?

The One Size cloth diaper solves all these problems.

• One Size Diapers fit babies from birth through potty training.  Generally from about 8-35lbs.
• Because they are one size, a family will not have to worry about baby outgrowing them or needing another size.
• One size diapers are highly adjustable and often accommodate more than the typical S, M, L stages.  They have snaps and aplix allowing them to fit all those in between stages as well.
• They can be used on multiple children of different sizes.  This means that both your newborn and your toddler can share the same diaper stash.

The one disadvantage you should know about is that if you use all one size diapers day in and day out then they will be getting washed all the time, unless you have a lot more than you need.  This means they endure a lot more wear and tear and may not actually be in good enough shape to save and use for future children or for resale.  So keep in mind, if you’re using one size cloth diapers, the more you have in your rotation the less each diaper is getting used which will extend their overall lifespan.
