Fitted cloth diapers have elastic legs and back (front as well if they are side-snapping). They are fastened with hook & loop or snaps and are similar in design to regular disposable diapers. They are highly adjustable and will fit a variety of baby body shapes within the weight bracket, some are even designed to fit from birth until potty training with the help of a bit of folding.
Fitted diapers are not waterproof so you do need a diaper cover to put over them. But they are very easy to put on a baby and very easy to put under a cover without uncomfortable bunching.
Fitted diapers come in a variety of materials. Some of the most popular choices are cotton knits, flannel, hemp, terry cloth, sherpa, bamboo, and velour.
