I was really eager to try the TushMate AIO diaper when it was launched because of the unique combination of fabrics: hemp, cotton and microfleece. Combined with the stunning, nature-inspired prints that TushMate has been releasing, these are diapers that are definitely worth a closer look.
TushMate sent us new “Sweet Garden” diaper in exchange for an honest review; TushMate has two different AIO (All-in-One) diapers, newborn and one-size. Today’s review spotlights the one-size version.
This diaper is designed to adjust from 8 to 35 pounds by means of an adjustable rise on the front. There are three sets of rise snaps, which gives you more of a nuanced sizing system (it comes out to four size settings) than a typical diaper with only two sets of snaps.
The inside of a TushMate AIO diaper is lined with white stay-dry polyester fleece liner. The elasticized liner snaps down in the front to create a semi-pocket that you can tuck extra inserts in for absorbency. The semi-attached hemp/cotton insert can be tucked under the liner, or laid on top. It’s made in the long “snake style,” so you can fold it under to fit smaller babies.
The open design of the diaper helps to shorten the dry time, which is typically much longer when you’re using hemp.
After washing and drying the diaper, I noticed some twisting of the fabric on the soaker that was different than the normal uneven shrinkage you sometimes see with natural fibers. This didn’t didn’t change the way the diaper functioned in terms of absorbency, but I did send the diaper back so that TushMate could take a look. Turns out, the way the 3 layers of fabric are positioned in relation to each other causes some friction and/or movement, which results in the slight twist. This is something that TushMate will address in future AIO releases.
Before tucking the insert into the pocket, I would smooth it out as best I could to get it as flat as possible.
The tiny little holes you see in the picture above are at the front of the diaper; this is where you attach the fleece liner to close up the pocket.
With the generous range of sizing mentioned above, thanks to the 3 rows of rise snaps, we can get a good fit on 3-year-old Erik (32 pounds) with this diaper. He has a slim build. He’s on the second-to-last set of snaps at the waist.
The diaper, as seen from the side, has a very trim profile.
Here’s Ingrid at 20 months.
Thanks to the hemp, Ingrid can wear this AIO diaper for naps as well as regular daytime use. She’s an average wetter.
The diaper cleans and dries more quickly if you can unsnap the liner at the front and let the soaker fully hang out. The only drawback to this is that you may have to touch wet portions of the diaper to accomplish this. An easy workaround is to leave the liner unfastened at the front, and when the diaper is soiled, just shake it to release the soaker.
TushMate diapers are ethically made in China. The waterproof thermally-bonded PUL used on the outside is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. The cotton in the attached soaker is certified organic. The TushMate one-size AIO diaper starts at $23.58, which is reasonable for a high-quality and well-made All-in-One. TushMate offers a 12-month warranty on snaps, stitching and seams. Elastics are covered for 3 months.

Nice review! Cute print!
I like that it has three sets of snaps for the snap down rise and snake style soaker that easily folds for smaller babies. So many soakers are not very conducive to folding to make for better for for small ones.
That print is to die for! TushMate has really cute prints, and I’d love to try their AIO diaper. Thanks for the chance
I love that it is adjustable to so many sizes.
I love the combination of hemp with the micro fleece 🙂
Love the prints! I’m definitely going to have to add some of these to my stash for when I’ve got 2 in diapers this fall!
TushMate has so many cute prints…I need to try one!
My nearly four month old is a slender 11lbs. So most AIOs are a little big around his legs. I would be eager to see how the four sets of snaps on the rise would help with the fit!
I like that it fits your older boy. I have two AIO’S, but they no longer fit my toddler. They are now waiting to be used on my second, due in August.
Love that this brand has an aio now, would love to try it!
These are gorgeous diapers that are so clever.
Love the liner and how it stretches
I love th unique design of this diaper. The most frustrating thing about AIOs is that they take longer to dry, so I’m glad they took that into consideration in the design. Love Tushmate’s cute prints!
Tushmates has some really amazing prints, I’m going to have to buy one of the new farmland prints.
I love the combination of hemp added in, hopefully that would give some more absorbency to the convenience on the AIO. I love this print!!!
I have had other Hemo inserts twist up as well. It’s too bad this happens and I find it terribly annoying! But the diaper is gorgeous and I would love to get my hands on one!
I just bought my first Tushmate a couple weeks ago! I just couldn’t resist their new farm print 🙂
Such cute prints. I love the microliner as something soft and keeps skin dry, And such a great looking fit.
Thanks for the review. I hope to try one of these diapers soon.
These prints are just adorable!
I love that you have the ability to fill it with extra for additional absorbency! I also love that they addressed your issue and plan to make changes for the future!! How awesome!!
Super cute! thanks for reviewing! I love that there is Hemp in it making it so much more absorbent and I love that the pocket sing sown down completely and that every thing can pull out for drying!
I love that this is an aio, but even more that it has a pocket to hold the flaps in place!
That print is so pretty!! The adjustable sizes are amazing!!
This sounds like a great diaper. I don’t see many people talking about using them so thanks for the review!
I love these!! So great :). Thank you for the chance in the giveaway
I like all of the snaps for multiple sizes, that it is designed to dry more quickly & the beautiful print. I haven’t tried these before but I am very interested to now!
I love how the design looks so trim! And that it also can vary in so many sizes. Great job on the design soo soo cute!
TushMate seriously has the best prints around. I love the style of this AIO and that you can adjust it to dry more quickly! This diaper is on my wishlist!
How awesome that they’re actually incorporating your feedback into future versions?!
I like how the inside looks nice and soft and how the soaker stretches out I hope this allows the diaper to dry quicker. I haven’t tried aio’s for that very reason. I also like that it fits larger kids.
I like the open design to shorten drying time. I feel like everything takes forever to dry in Oregon to begin with, but especially diapers.
I love that the hemp makes the diaper so versatile!
I LOVE this diaper. both prints on this post are two of the best Ive seen and the AIO system is a life saver. These are a must have for our stash!
I like that Tush Mate has a new AIO! I would love to give one a try. The prints have always been so adorable. Thanks for the great review!
Love the prints! Love AIO’s! Thanks for the review!
I only thought I loved the Deep Sea print, but the Farmland is GORGEOUS!!
We have the one Tushmate and our soaker twisted as well; I would love to see this addressed in future versions, but their prints are just beautiful and are hard to pass on.
Thank you for the review and the opportunity try for another ♡
I would love to try this – great combination with the hemp!
I love the soaker style of this AIO, I like that it looks quick to dry and adjustable for both Boys and girls so that you may use the diaper for more than onechild!
Thank you for the review on this adorable diaper! We haven’t tried tushmate diapers yet, but I would love to sometime!
I love the print of this diaper. I’m not the biggest fan of AIO but I do like the options the soaker style adds!
great review! i love that the insert is hemp and the multiple snaps for better sizing. Adorable print on this AIO, hopefully i’ll get to try it soon!
I have wanted to try Tushmates for the longest time now – thanks for the great review!
I like the honesty of your review! Also, although it may contribute to the curling of the insert, I like how the style makes thee diaper dry faster!
I love the print, and that the soaker is hemp, with a “pocket” in which you can add extra absorbency, if needed.
