I received these products at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own.
When I first reviewed Easy Peasies diapers in March of last year, the only thing I disliked about both the all-in-one (AIO) and the pocket designs was that they were heavy on the microfibre. I loved that they were made in Canada, I loved the double gussets, I loved the ruffles, and the fit was good on my larger-than-average son at two-and-a-half years old. By the time Little Miss Cub was born, Easy Peasies had started using hemp and bamboo in their line-up, so we got to try out their newborn AIO which features a blend of hemp and microfibre. In case you don’t keep notes on my personal cloth diapering preferences, let me remind you that I love combining microfibre with hemp, bamboo or cotton. (Of those three, hemp is my superstar.) Microfibre absorbs quickly, and the natural fibre holds onto liquid, preventing compression leaks. I was very excited to test drive Easy Peasies’ one-size AIO and pocket on Little Miss Cub! We chose the AIO in Sunset Dreams and our pocket in Wild & Free.
Easy Peasies All-In-One
- 6–40 lbs
- four rise settings
- sewn-in insert with included booster
- ruffles at the legs and back waist
- crossover waist snap for newborns
- double-gusseted inner
Most AIO diapers on the market have dangling pieces. The absorbent insert may extend like a tongue which is tucked into a pocket before use, or the insert(s) may be sewn to the front or back of the diaper like flaps. The Easy Peasies AIO is the only one in our (extensive) collection where the main absorbent component is entirely sewn into the diaper, making it look as much like a disposable diaper as a cloth diaper can. (Which can be really reassuring for the cloth naysayers in your entourage.) The insert is not entirely encased, as there is a pocket opening at the back of the diaper. (Bottom right image.) The core of the diaper comprises four layers of hemp and microfibre. This is a huge improvement on the version we tested last year, which did not have a pocket opening and was 100% microfibre inside. I love this new design so much!
The AIO also comes with a hemp booster that you can attach using the snap at the back of the diaper. You can tuck the booster into the pocket or place it on top of the stay-dry fleece.
The fit on Little Miss is just so nice!! At 20 lbs, she’s still on the tightest waist setting (without using the crossover snaps). It’s definitely a very trim AIO option, even with the booster.
I was concerned that this diaper would take a long time to dry because of the sewn-in insert. I was really surprised to find that, even without turning it inside out, it dries just fine on my regular one-and-a-half hour low cycle. In terms of absorbency, we definitely need to use the booster to last for three hours. I like that we could increase the absorbency even more by putting the included booster on top and tucking another one into the pocket. 
My favourite things about the Easy Peasies AIO:
- hemp/microfibre blend inner
- pocket opening for boosting and faster drying
- included hemp booster
- trim and adorable fit
- we can get 4 hours of daytime use with the booster
- made in Canada
Things I like less about the Easy Peasies AIO:
- I’m stretching here to find something … maybe that I do find we need the booster even for daytime use? But the booster is included, and it’s great, so that’s not really a deal breaker.
Easy Peasies Pocket Diaper Bamboo Bundle
Cover:
- 6–40 lbs
- four rise settings
- ruffles at the legs and back waist
- crossover waist snap for newborns
- double-gusseted inner
The cut of Easy Peasies’ pocket diaper is the same as its AIO, so everything I love about that design applies to the pocket cover. You can purchase Easy Peasies covers on their own or in a bundle. Because the trifold bamboo insert is trimmer than the sewn-in insert and added booster of the AIO, I actually put it on Little Miss Cub on a smaller rise:
I feel like the picture speaks for itself. The fit is just delightful! As with the AIO, she’s on the tightest waist setting without using the crossover snaps.
Bamboo trifold:
- 2-ply bamboo fleece
- no prepping required
- 14″ x 14″ square that won’t shrink
So as I previously mentioned, my main issue with the Easy Peasies pocket diaper I reviewed on Cub was that I didn’t like the microfibre inserts. I happen to adore trifold inserts, and guess what? Easy Peasies’ inserts are now trifolds! I love how you can fold them as needed to get customized absorbency. They have hemp and bamboo blends available that are made in Canada as well as a super affordable cotton version that is imported. I am really impressed with the absorbency of our bamboo fleece trifold. It’s plenty thirsty enough for three hours without an added booster.
Definitely no complaints about the trimness, either! The leg ruffles provide a really nice fit around the thighs and back waist, and the hip snaps prevents wing droop which can be an issue in similar diapers that only have the two waist snaps. I really love the double row of parallel female snaps that go across the full waist of the diaper. This really helps achieve the perfect fit. You can stagger the top and bottom wing snaps if you need a looser fit around the tummy but want to keep tightness around the legs. (This is a nice option if baby is going to be seated and has a chubby belly!)
Things I love about the Easy Peasies Pocket Diaper:
- There’s a lot of choice when shopping for Easy Peasies: buy just a cover, or buy a bundle with inexpensive cotton trifolds or the more premium hemp or bamboo blend trifolds.
- The bamboo trifold that we chose is supremely absorbent.
- The fit is adorable and trim.
- The pocket opening is at the back of the diaper (rather than the front or the middle, which I dislike).
- They are made in Canada.
Things I love less about the Easy Peasies Pocket Diaper:
- I’m grasping at straws here, folks … there were a few loose threads that I needed to snip when I opened up my pocket diaper for the first time. Really not a big deal!
