Eeko Designs Fitted Diaper Review

I'm so excited for my first diaper review! It has been a long time coming, let me tell you.  My Son Maddox is the test model for this fabulous fitted diaper from Eeko Designs.  I first met Lauren at Eeko Designs when I won a giveaway for some training pants.  I was so greatful for actually winning a prize in a giveaway!! I upgraded the order to an organic fitted diaper - side snapping (which I had never used before!). I gave her full artistic control and let her pick the fabrics, I told her I had a boy, size large, love colors, rainbows, prints etc...
She was so easy to work with, so nice too.  She even made a huge intercontinental move during the process and my diaper arrived in the most adorable newsprint wrapping and very quickly!

Here's the Construction of the diaper:

 

Outside: Beautiful Euro Knit - Lillestoff Organic Cotton in Sweet Days.
Love it because: It's a high end, super soft, unique print, vibrant colors, and organic.
Don't love it because: For no reason other than, I know it's going to fade as all bright prints do. (see update below)

Inside: Red Organic Velour
Love it because: it's so pretty, super soft and I've never used velour in a diaper so it was special ;) It also has great soaking power and keeps the wetness away from the bottom.
Don't love it because: I was afraid it was going to fade (see update below)

Liners: This diaper came with a double snap-in soaker, of several layers of knit and topped with orange velour and an additional lay in liner with knit and red velour.
Love it because: There is TONS of soaking power in these layers!
Don't love it because: well, there's no reason not to love super soaking power...

This is my one year old son, Maddox. Yes, he has red hair. Maybe that's not a surprise to anyone who doesn't know that my husband and I both have black hair and our children are both red. 
When I asked Maddox how he felt about his new diaper he said, "ZZZZzzzz". That's his favorite word so I'm guess he really loves it ;) He wore the diaper right out of the package.  I was warned that I may need to prep the diaper a few times before it really had soaking power.  But, he wore the diaper for at least 2 hours and I'm guess 2 pees - and I only felt dampness.

Fit:  My son is one and about 25 pounds.  I ordered the size large.
Love it because: there are adjustable tabs on the side to snap for a good fit, Elastic is stretchy and didn't leave a mark on any part of his skin, and there was room to grow as he was at the lower end of the weight suggestions.
Don't love it because: at the smallest setting the wings came all the way to the front and poked out the top - not a huge deal and definitely not a flaw - I know the diaper wings will get shorter as my son grows :)  And I was confused - diaper wings behind the liners or in front of it? I chose behind because it made some sense to me but I think either way would have been fine ;)

As you can See the diaper fits him very well and he loves it!

 

 

Got to have a bum shot ;)

Update:
Maddox has worn this diaper several dozen times over the last few months! He's had a chance to make some big messes in it :)
Love it because: it HASN'T faded very much! I thought for sure something so beautiful couldn't last - but I was wrong, the velour is vibrant, the knit isn't pilled or faded. Sure, it has normal fading but not even close to what I was expecting.  It is a workhorse diaper with all those layers, he can stay without a cover for several hours and at night I just slip a woolie over it and it's bulletproof.  There are NO stains, and it is still soft and very comfortable. 
Don't love it because: I can't say anything bad about this diaper - we love it and look forward to more of Lauren's beautiful work!
