Double horizontal snaps give this diaper a snug and comfy fit that even toddlers can't unfasten.
Hello again! After a great Night Diaper Event, I took a week off from the giveaways while I worked on some new series for the blog, but now I have another good one for you: a Tiny Tush pocket diaper. Honestly, I didn’t know what I was going to write about yet another pocket diaper before I tried this Tiny Tush–a pocket diaper is a pocket diaper, right?–but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this diaper is one of the best pockets I’ve tried.
The biggest plus for me was that this diaper is generously sized, so I can actually see this diaper working on bigger toddlers. Baby girl maxed out the one-size settings on her BumGenius and Happy Heinys months back (they still fit, but there’s nowhere to go from here), but this Tiny Tush easily fits her on the second to largest rise setting and on the smallest waist setting. The snaps don’t overlap like a Happy Heinys, so this might actually not have fit her when she was smaller. I would expect waist gaps for a tiny baby in this diaper. But, as many of you know, most one-size diapers don’t fit tiny newborns OR larger toddlers, so since you’re probably going to need to buy newborn diapers anyway if you use one-size pockets, this one will at least cover you through the larger end of the size range.
Second plus: this diaper is super soft, inside and out. I feel like I’m pampering baby girl’s bum when I put it on. I don’t know where Tiny Tush gets its PUL or its fleece, but it’s good stuff. The inserts are a nice fluffy terrycloth, too, and the larger insert is extra long to match the length of the diaper. I got plenty of absorbency through double-stuffing this diaper during the day. At night, I would use the longer insert doubled with a hemp insert to make sure it made it all night.
One thing I didn’t get the chance to test was the ability of the pocket opening to keep poop out of the pocket. The pocket has an overlapping flap at the pocket opening, but the upper part of the flap is toward the middle of the diaper, not on the back waist area like with BumGenius. I’m not sure why, but the BumGenius way of overlapping the pocket opening seems to keep poop out of the pocket better than other designs, so you may be in for a mess when removing the insert if baby poops in this diaper. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to see if this was a problem or not. I told baby girl to poop when we were testing, but she never listens. 
All I can tell you is that when I tried a GADBaby pocket with a similar pocket opening, we got poop in the pocket regularly (though that was a side-snapper that also pushed poop up on her hips–gross!–so the design of the snaps might have been part of the problem).
And one final note: Many of you know that baby girl has a thin waist and super chunky thighs, so I often get waist gaps with snap diapers that don’t have two snaps that fasten vertically, to give me the option of angling the fit in at the waist (i.e. snapping the top snap at a smaller setting). Somehow, we didn’t have any waist gap issues with this diaper, despite the horizontal snaps. I wonder if this is because the waist elastic is super stretchy like Happy Heinys. It seems like this diaper hugs baby girl’s form when I put it on her, both at the waist and legs. I’m curious how this diaper fits babies with skinny legs: are the leg holes just big on this diaper, or is the fit more flexible?
