The Rumparooz diaper cover was just featured on my blog two weeks ago. Now it’s time for another review. One of the most popular products that Rumparooz makes is a one-size pocket diaper. I won the “Perky Perennials” diaper in a Padded Tush Stats giveaway, and this gave me the opportunity to share our experiences on the blog. At the end of this post, find out how you can win a RaR pocket diaper in today’s Fall Fun giveaway hop!

Here are the basic features of the Rumparooz one-size pocket diaper:

  • Outer shell is made of waterproof thermally-bonded PUL.
  • Inside lining is white microchamois
  • The back of the waistband is elasticized.
  • The rise features 3 rows of snaps, which translates to 4 size settings (three snapped up and one completely open).
  • The wings close with double snaps.
  • Includes the exclusive Rumparooz 6r Soaker
  • Inner gusset/channel sewn into the fleece lining
  • Currently available in about 40 different colors and prints, in snap or hook & loop closure
  • Retail price starts at $23.95
  • Warranty: 6 months

Kanga Care/Rumparooz is located in Littleton, Colorado; products are made in different locations including the USA, Denmark and China.

This picture illustrates the 4 different size settings, which I would call newborn, small, medium and large. In the first picture below, I’ve placed it next to an actual newborn diaper for perspective.

The white microchamois lining is not only MUCH softer than your average microfleece or microsuede, it’s also hypoallergenic. The pocket opening is wide enough for easy stuffing. The patented inner gusset creates an elasticized channel for better containment of messes.

Each Rumparooz pocket comes with a unique microfiber 6r soaker. It’s a set that can be used together or separately.

In fact, there are 6 different settings, based on your baby’s size and absorbency needs. This chart from Rumparooz illustrates all the options. There are even recommended settings for boys and girls, since their “wet zones” vary.

Here’s another little thing that makes Rumparooz unique: the little kangaroo snaps.

Sizing: The Rumparooz pocket runs a bit smaller than the Rumparooz one-size cover. Compared to the Rumparooz cover, the Rumparooz pocket has a shorter rise, so keep that in mind if you’ve tried one product but not the other. Erik (my 2 year old toddler) can wear the cover just fine, but the pocket sits much lower on him (below).

Fit: I like the overall trim fit of this pocket diaper, the double snap closure and the soft microchamois inside and around the leg openings. And I like that it does not have the front elastic (so it stays more flat). Double snaps at the waist mean you can adjust around the legs and tummy separately. The thermally-bonded PUL is very soft and pliable and the wings have lots of stretch. The crotch area is a little wide compared to some of our other pockets, but the upside is it’s easier to stuff.

Here’s the Rumparooz pocket on 13-month-old Ingrid. She is short with chubby little legs.

Absorbency: The included soakers are made of 80% polyester/20% polymide. There are 3 layers in the newborn soaker and 3 layers in the adjustable soaker, giving you 6 altogether. So it’s about double what you typically get in a pocket diaper. This is a pocket diaper I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ingrid can wear all night long, and it has that comfortale stay-dry effect.

Ingrid is well past the days of runny poos and blow outs (she is almost 90 percent weaned from breastfeeding), but we do get a big mess every so often. Toddlers are adventurous eaters! The inner gussets in this diaper do help contain things better, especially when you have an active baby. However, if you don’t have a diaper sprayer, it will take some very vigorous dunking and swishing to rinse the gussets out. Flushable liners would be a good option in that instance.

If microfiber is not your thing, inserts are also available in hemp or bamboo. All Rumparooz inserts can be purchased separately.

Quality: This is a sturdy, well made and beautiful diaper with strong, evenly placed snaps. Rumparooz colors and prints are vibrant and appealing. I’m happy with the consistent quality of all the Rumparooz products we’ve tested so far.

  14. I have a rumparooz cover that I want to love (it feels soooo soft) but the front elastic just doesn’t get a good fit on my LO and the Aplix ends up rubbing on her. I’d love to try the pocket since it doesn’t have that front elastic!

  15. This was always my favorite JuJuBe print!! So glad they brought it back and made it this super cute diaper!! How amazing!!

  19. It is so hard to pick just one, but I’m loving Charlie right now, and with boy/girl twins on the way its a nice neutral that I’ll feel great about on both of them 🙂

    Reply

  26. Charlie is my favorite RaR print. I’m glad to know that the OS pocket is a little shorter than the cover. My 21 month old is tall, so that is important info for me. Thanks!

  30. I love the Perky Perennials! Thank you for the great review! I love the new colors RARs has added since the last time I stalked ♡

  36. I love the Eco owl print. I’d put it on my son even though some might think it is a bit too girly. Actually, I really like all the prints.

  38. It looks like a good pocket diaper worth trying for sure! I currently only own 2 pocket diapers, both Nickis and this one sure looks different inside. I do like the quality of the one RaR cover I own. Thank you for the review and chance to win. =)

  40. Perky Perrenials is definitely one of my favorites but all of the solid colors are beautiful in person

  41. I love the idea of your pocket diapers! I would love to try one out once our little one gets here. 🙂 Thanks for the give away!

  43. We LOVE our rumparooz covers for our son! Would love to try this diaper too! If I win this print I am gifting it to my friend who will be using cloth for the first time in December with her first baby!

  44. We love RARz! they are our go to diapers. Love the double gussets and sizing. Even fits my skinny minnie!

    Reply

  46. I love almost all Rumparooz diaper colors/prints. I own only one though in newborn size and sadly my daughter outgrew it long ago. I’d love more, maybe for my next LO i’ll stock up on these.

    Reply

  47. Since my husband’s Australian and our soon-to-be-born son was conceived there (where we had kangaroos in our yard ALL THE TIME), I’m going to have to go for the kangarooz print as my favorite! Would love to try RaR. Thanks!

  50. I really like the unity print. This is our only diaper that seems to fit my 2 month old and 21 month old quite well.

    Reply

  57. im getting really into cloth diapers and i jus love all these, they look super comfy for baby too! and sooo cute!

    Reply

  58. I adore Rumparooz! They are probably my favorite CD brand… amazing quality and I love their prints. My favorite right now is probably Unity, although Perky Perennials is a close second. 😉

    Reply

  63. I love the RaR newborn covers. they worked great for the first few months. I do like the inside gusset of the RaR pocket diaper too. I love all their prints its hard to choose one but I do like clyde a lot

    Reply

  66. As always, Ingrid is so cute! I love her little poses. I like that you can choose what insert types you want, although recently, I’ve found a new liking to microfiber…surprisingly!! My favorite print is Perky Perennials.

    Reply

    • Geneveigh, thank you so much for the sweet comments that you leave! Like you, I’ve found microfiber works well for us, though I know there are many nay-sayers. And the price is so much more affordable than bamboo or hemp. ~Anne

  71. Can I vote for this diaper, Perky Perennials? I remember seeing it a while ago (a spring release?) and falling in love with it then 🙂

    Reply

  77. I love my Rumparooz pockets! It would be difficult to choose between Unity, Invader, Clyde, or Charlie. I love them all. Now that my son is almost 3, I use Sloomb flats in a Medium as inserts in my Rumparooz pockets. They work wonderfully. I’ve always preferred Rumparooz 6r microfiber inserts over other brands of mf.Most of our 6r inserts are getting close to the end of their useable lives, so bamboo to the Rescue. Of course my toddler needs the bamboo for extended use.

    Reply

  82. I’ve never used Rumparooz but I’ve heard their fantastic. I have two little boys and I really like how the inserts have a boys setting that would soak up more, definitely need that for them. I love Dexter, but all of the boys patterns are neat.

  85. We have a rumparooz cover in the Ladder 6 print that we got as a gift for my firefighter husband. We loved that it fit our smaller baby right away! I’d love to try a pocket in the Unity print!

    Reply

  86. I love the new dark blue print with the anchors on it. I just got it in a RaR cover and it looks so dashing!

    Reply

  95. Thanks for your review! We’ve used and like Rumparooz covers but have yet to try their pocket diapers. My favorite prints are Invader and the new Admiral!
