Smartipants Smart-Fit Cover Review and Giveaway (CLOSED 2/1)

I ended up really liking my Smartipants diaper.  I initially didn't think it was anything special, but my opinion changed, and after using it for 8 months, it landed in my favorite things.
 



Though fitteds/covers or prefolds/covers aren't my favorite, I was very interested to try the Smartipants Smart-Fit Cover, which retails for $13.95.
 

One thing that's pretty unique about the Smartipants cover is the waist adjustment.  There are snaps at the rear on each side, allowing additional sizing customization.
 


The covers are available with Aplix closures, while the one-size diapers are not (newborn diapers are).

The cover has a wipeable inner, so it can be reused for multiple diaper changes.

The diaper cover has 5 rise settings.  That combined with the waist snap adjustment and overlapping tabs, gives you a lot of options to find just the right fit.

That said, the cover is quite large overall, considerably larger than the smart sleeve diaper.



I do not think this cover would fit newborns or small babies.  The smallest setting seems similar to the medium setting on one-size diapers.  For simplicity, I'm labeling the size settings 1/smallest through 5/largest.

Here is the smallest setting (first snap) folded and stretched:




Setting two:



Setting three:



Setting four:



Setting five/largest setting/fully unsnapped:




While the cover can be used with inserts, it seems to be sized to better fit over bulkier systems like fitted diapers.



Here is my 21ish pound son in the Smartipants cover, smallest setting (waist and rise) with a Flip stay dry insert:






It also fit over my fluffiest fitted, my Heartland Dreams.





If you are looking for a highly adjustable cover, that will fit your larger baby for a long time, this is it!

Giveaway: Smartipants is offering one winner their own smart fit cover, in their choice of color!  The covers are available in Clever Clover, Aqua Breeze, Think Pink and Bright White; the diapers have even more color options!

Smartipants Diaper Giveaway (CLOSED 8/27)

I've had my Smartipants diaper for about 8 months. 

Initially, I didn't think it was anything to really write home about.

However, the more I used it, the more it became a favorite. It has been used nearly daily for the 8 months I've had it.

I just took these pictures last week, so this is what it looks like after 8 months of wear & tear!

The Smartipants diaper has a "smart sleeve" that the insert slides into.  Much like a pocket diaper, it has a waterproof outer and soft fabric against baby's skin.

Each diaper comes with a smart sleeve microfiber insert. 

Here are the two things that really make Smartipants stand out to me.  First, the insert agitates out in the wash.  It really does!  With my other pocket diapers, I use the wipe to yank the insert out before I throw it in the pail, so I don't have to touch it later.  The smart sleeve insert comes out by itself, so just throw wet ones in your pail as is! 

Second, each diaper and smart sleeve insert costs only $14.95!  They're also available in 3-packs, 12-packs and 24-packs with discounted prices.  24 diapers cost $279.95 or about $11.66 per diaper!  That's enough to cloth diaper full time, washing every other day, with a few to spare.

More important than price (to me) is the fact that they do not leak, and our Smartipants has held up wonderfully!  8 months of mostly daily use and zero problems.

Smartipants have snap closures, with just two snaps on each wing, which is easier for me to do than three!  They are also one-size by way of a snap down rise.  All photos of my son in this post are on the medium setting where he is about 18 or so pounds.

Smartipants recently introduced new products, including newborn diapers, smart-fit covers, smart tote wet bags and smart pail hanging wet bags!

They also introduced their first limited edition diaper color, chocolate.  A new color will be available for a limited time each month, and the color will be chosen by Smartipants users!

So, I bet you want your own.  Smartipants is giving one of my lovely readers their own Smartipants diaper with smart sleeve insert, in his/her choice of color!
