What the AI looks for in Baby Boys' Bloomers, Diaper Covers & Underwear
- Fit over the diaper you use
- Size by the baby's weight and size up one if you use bulky cloth or overnight diapers Covers sized for a slim disposable will bind or gap over thicker diapers.
- Leg and waist elastic
- Elastic should be fully fabric-encased, with no exposed rubber at the leg openings Exposed or tight elastic leaves red marks on thighs and rubs during crawling.
- Fabric
- Breathable cotton or cotton-rich knit, not polyester The cover adds a layer over an already warm diaper area, so breathability helps limit heat rash.
- Waterproof or decorative
- Check whether the product is a fashion cover or a PUL/wool cloth-diaper cover The two look similar but only cloth-diaper covers are designed to contain wetness.
Brands that matter
- Gerber: Inexpensive cotton multipacks of covers and basics.
- Simple Joys by Carter's: Basics multipacks, often sold as bloomers paired with tops.
- Burt's Bees Baby: Organic cotton basics, a pricier option.
- Hudson Baby: Budget multipacks of baby basics in many prints.
What to avoid
- Covers with exposed elastic or scratchy lace or trims at the leg openings
- Using a fashion diaper cover as a leak barrier over cloth diapers
- Buying newborn sizes in bulk, since babies outgrow them within weeks
Questions
Are diaper covers waterproof?
Fashion diaper covers and bloomers are not waterproof. Waterproof covers for cloth diapering are a separate product, usually made of PUL or wool.
Baby Boys' Bloomers
Bloomers are diaper covers by another name: the same rules apply, so choose soft cotton with fully encased elastic, sized to fit over the diaper, and do not expect them to be waterproof.
