Thanks to Oh Sew Smitten for sending us a diaper to review!
Four years ago I had never heard of a hybrid fitted diaper, but they are getting to be a pretty big thing now, and for good reason. A hybrid fitted is super absorbent because a hidden layer of poly fleece inside provides extra protection against leaks. That means a hybrid fitted consists of three parts: the (super cute) outer fabric, a hidden fleece layer, and then a velour inner fabric. Because a hybrid fitted isn’t completely waterproof, it’s still a very breathable diaper.
Courtney keeps her hybrid fitted fans coming back for more at Oh Sew Smitten. And she was kind enough to send us a diaper to try out. My package contained this exquisite gray and yellow chevron creation!
The diaper includes a snake-style insert (heavy organic bamboo fleece with bamboo loop terry in between) and one extra 2-layer doubler made of the organic bamboo fleece. The bamboo fleece is super soft and plush.
The fitted I received was made for older babies around 10 to 40 pounds, so it fits the best on both 18 month old Susanna and 3 year old Samuel. But by folding down the rise, it looks pretty good on Erik, too. To cut down on bulk, I don’t use the extra insert for him.
I really love the fit on my toddlers!
And the fabric is just amazing in every way. Soft and smooth, and it looks and feels great even after lots of washing. The gray chevron is so chic!!
With superior absorbency comes a longer drying time. But that’s ok with me since I don’t have an entire stash of fitteds. I can dry this diaper with everything else, and then just hang it in the laundry room or on the line to finish it off. That way, an extra-long cycle is not needed and we save some energy.
Hybrid fitteds are so fun and fashionable that you might be tempted to let your baby go with out a cover. I say go ahead! A thirsty diaper like this will hold my toddlers for hours on its own.
And now, a few more pictures, so you can see Courtney’s range of talent! Oh Sew Smitten hybrid fitteds are available in an impressive array of designer prints. That smashing fox print on the left is an imported Euro knit.
And I spotted these weird and wonderful Dr. Who pocket diapers on her Facebook page recently!
If you’d like to order a custom fitted from Oh Sew Smitten, contact Courtney in advance because a limited number are done each month. Also, check her Facebook page for stocking updates (about every 2 weeks) plus occasional flash sales and giveaways!
One of you lucky ladies is going to win either a custom or in stock fitted of choice. How nice of Courtney!

I love the set of 3 coordinating red/white/chevron diapers
My husband is British so I would definitely go for that blue and white Dr Who dipe.
These diapers look so cute!! I’m really wanting to add more fitteds to my stash!!
I’ve been following Oh Sew Smitten on FB for a whole now and I love the fun prints that she gets. The latest one I love is the rocket ship one!

I love the patriotic themed diapers and the ones with cats on them. There really are some cute diapers! Thanks for the giveaway!

So many cute fabrics!! I love the euro Vikings and fox the most! But also adore the nautical a like the anchors & lobsters!
I love and want all!!!
So cute! I love the cloud prints!
Oh my do you have three in diapers right now? It must be a lot better for you to use cloth since you can get a bunch of OS and not have to worry about grabbing the right size of diaper. Bless you! I love this diaper though. I’ve really gotten into the chevron thing here recently too.
You’re right, Jennifer! We can really maximize the savings by using one-size stuff. Thanks for entering! ~Anne
So many gorgeous fabrics! And I have to say…. my husband would completely flip (in a good way), if we had a Doctor Who diaper. Love the idea of a hybrid fitted- thanks for sharing more info about them!
I love the chevron prints. She has some great print combos. Would love another fitted to add to my stash.
I love the July 4th diaper (black with fireworks)
Oh my goodness! I absolutely love her fabrics! Such adorable prints!
i love her anchor fabric! id love to have a diaper with the blue anchors that had pinks snaps and inside

ZOMG Doctor Who pockets?!?!
I like all of the chevron prints, but my favorite is the rhinos, I think. The hat and diaper sets are adorable!
I love the prints!
Oh my! I love so many of her diapers and fabrics! The “We be jammin'” is too cute, and I love the patriotic prints, clouds, and mustache fabrics!
hard to choose what I like most, Dr. Who print, clouds, chevrons…..
What a cute diaper and I like the snake style soaker.

I’ve been really wanting to try fitteds, but on a tight budget. These hybrids look like a great choice. Plus I love the Dr. Who prints! ๐ Jammin & Euro import are adorable as well.. Chevron also. Heck, who am I kidding, I could take them all! Lol ๐
Love the chevron!
This looks like a wonderful diaper! And I can’t believe how big Erik is getting!
I wish he would stay small, Celeste!! ~Anne
So many pretty prints! Would love one!
I love the concept of hybrid diapers for fitteds. That hidden layer of fleece is great for stopping leaks and the option of using one or both inserts offers lots of customizability.
Wow, I don’t normally get too excited about fox prints, but that one is fantastic!
I like the purple clouds.
I LOVE my OSS fitteds. We now have 4 and cant wait to get more!!! Definitely they best I have tried ๐

I love both the pink and blue rainbow diapers with matching caps! Also love the cloud prints!

Doctor Who. Oh my. Also, I absolutely adore cranky clouds. And the Union Jack fabric. I have acquired a few hybrid fitteds recently, and I’m loving them for absorbancy.

Farmhouse print, sweet!
My sister would have a stroke if I got my son a Dr Who diaper ๐ But I really like the foxes.
Love this diaper! I like your idea of drying it with the other diapers and then just letting it air dry the rest of the way since it needs longer to completely dry.

I love the mustaches, the clouds and the chevron prints.
I love all her prints, but I think the tie dye is my favorite!!

First of all, CUTE BABIES!!!
These diapers are so cute. I love that they last for the life of your baby’s cloth diapering (my babies are close to 10# at birth, so they truly would). I love how thirsty they are, and the patterns are awesome!
Good luck, everyone!!
the galaxy one (it didnt have a name)
I love the cuteness factor, how thirsty they are, and the great fit!
I love the elephant diaper you recently did.

Too hard to choose! I love euro knits and those zig zag horizontal stripes are cool. I haven’t seen that fabric used a whole lot. What is that called? I also love that red scrappy.
I love how the kitten is featured in your diaper reviews ๐ Susanna loves that cat it makes me smile ๐

chevrons are so fun!
I want ALL the diapers – ha! But I must say I LOVE the Union Jack print! My DH is a Brit, born & raised in London, and DS1 was born there too, when we were all living there, so it would definitely find a home with our “international’ family (Nan & Grandad would love it!)
There;s not one diaper in the facebook album that I wouldn’t LOVE to own. Except moustaches, I didn’t see them, but I don’t get why it’s cool. Moving on! Thanks for the review, and the giveaway!
I really love the blue and brown rhino print!
That diaper is adorable! I want to add several WAHM hybrid fitteds and am checking out her page right now. I love that they have unique fabrics and can be worn without a cover at home ๐
