Overnight Fitted Diaper · All-Natural · One Size
All natural fibers, all night long
A high-capacity hemp-cotton fitted diaper built for overnight use, with no synthetic layers. Natural fibers throughout — from the diaper body to the inserts to the layer that sits against your baby's skin.
Fitted diaper only — needs a waterproof cover
This is the absorbent core of an overnight system, not a complete diaper. It must be paired with a waterproof cover (PUL or wool) to prevent leaks onto pajamas and bedding. For a complete bundled system, see the
EcoAble Overnight Cloth Diaper Set.
What's included
One fitted diaper with two snap-in inserts
Each pack of 1 includes the fitted diaper body and two snap-in hemp-cotton inserts. The inserts snap directly into the diaper so they stay put through the night — no stuffing, no shifting, no re-positioning in the dark.
The diaper body
All-Natural Hemp Fitted Diaper
Absorbs moisture · Worn next to skin
A fitted diaper is a cloth diaper shaped like a regular diaper — with elastics around the legs and back waist for a close, secure fit — but without a waterproof outer layer. It does the absorbing; the cover (sold separately) does the containing.
This version uses natural fibers throughout. The layer against your baby's skin is hemp and cotton — the same material that does the absorbing — with no synthetic wicking lining.
The inserts
2 Snap-In Hemp Inserts
Customize absorbency · Snap directly into the diaper
Use one insert for lighter overnight needs, both for heavy wetters or longer sleep stretches. The snap system keeps inserts firmly in place so they don't shift overnight — a common issue with lay-in inserts.
Like the diaper body, the inserts are 55% hemp, 45% cotton — no synthetic layers.
Who it's for
When this is the right pick
Parents who prefer natural fibers against skin
If you're intentionally avoiding synthetic materials in contact with your baby's skin — whether for environmental reasons or fabric sensitivity — this is the version you want. Natural fibers throughout, no rayon or polyester lining.
Heavy overnight wetters
Designed for 10–12 hour overnight stretches. Hemp-cotton holds substantially more moisture than a daytime insert, and the snap-in inserts let you customize absorbency with one or both for the night.
Parents who already have a waterproof cover
If you already own a PUL or wool cover that fits your baby, this fitted diaper slots straight into your existing setup. No need to buy another cover.
Babies with rash-prone skin from synthetic contact
Some babies react to synthetic fibers, including rayon blends and polyester lining. An all-natural fitted diaper removes those layers entirely — helpful for parents troubleshooting persistent rashes.
Two versions available
All-Natural or Stay-Dry?
EcoAble offers two versions of this overnight fitted diaper. Both have hemp-cotton absorbent cores and handle the same overnight capacity. The difference is what sits against your baby's skin — and it's a real trade-off worth understanding before you buy.

Understand the trade-off before you choose
Natural fibers against skin mean your baby will feel the moisture sooner as the diaper absorbs. For many babies this is fine — and some parents actively want it, either to avoid synthetic fibers or to support eventual potty training awareness. But if your baby tends to wake when they feel wet, the Stay-Dry version may be the better fit. Both absorb the same amount.
How it works
Setting up for overnight, step by step
If you've never used a fitted diaper before, this walks through the full bedtime routine.
1
Wash several times before first use
Hemp contains natural oils from the fibers that need to wash out before full absorbency develops. The diaper is usable after one wash, but expect absorbency to continue improving noticeably over the first 5–8 wash cycles. Don't judge overnight performance from the first night.
2
Snap one or both inserts into the diaper
For lighter overnight needs or smaller babies, use one insert. For heavy wetters or longer sleep stretches, snap in both. The snap system holds the inserts in place so they don't bunch or shift through the night.
3
Fasten the fitted diaper on your baby
Put the fitted diaper on your baby like a regular diaper and fasten the snaps. The leg and waist elastics create a close, body-hugging fit. Check that the leg elastics lie flat and the back elastic is tucked in, not folded outward. You should be able to fit one finger underneath the leg elastics.
4
Put a waterproof cover over the fitted diaper
This step is essential. Pull a PUL or wool cover over the fitted diaper and fasten it. The cover goes on top, not underneath. Make sure no absorbent material sticks out past the cover edges — exposed fabric wicks moisture onto clothing and causes what looks like leaks but isn't.
5
Use a liner if using rash cream
If you use diaper rash cream, place a disposable or reusable liner between your baby's skin and the diaper. Petroleum-based creams can coat the hemp fibers and reduce absorbency over time. A liner keeps the cream off the fabric.
6
In the morning: what to expect
The fitted diaper will feel wet and heavy — this is normal and correct. Hemp holds moisture fully rather than wicking it away. With the all-natural version, your baby may have noticed the wetness sooner during the night. If there are no leaks onto pajamas or bedding, the system worked.
Key features
What makes this overnight-capable
01
100% natural fibers throughout
55% hemp, 45% cotton — through the diaper body and both inserts. No bamboo rayon, no polyester, no synthetic wicking layers. The only thing touching your baby's skin is natural fibers.
02
Hemp-cotton high-capacity core
Hemp holds more moisture than microfiber or bamboo alone — it's the standard material for overnight cloth diapering because it handles long stretches without saturation. Blended with cotton for softness.
03
Snap-in inserts that stay put
Unlike lay-in inserts that can shift during sleep, these snap directly into the fitted diaper and stay exactly where you put them. Use one or both depending on your baby's overnight needs.
04
Naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial
Hemp is naturally antibacterial and resistant to odor buildup — a genuine property of the fiber, not a treatment. Combined with the lack of synthetic layers, this makes the diaper a good fit for babies with sensitive, rash-prone skin.
Materials
What it's made from
55% Hemp, 45% Cotton
Throughout the fitted diaper and both inserts
Hemp is the absorbency workhorse. It holds significantly more moisture by weight than cotton, bamboo, or microfiber, and holds it deep in the fibers — so moisture doesn't squeeze back out under the pressure of a sleeping baby. Hemp is also naturally antibacterial, which helps resist odor buildup over repeated overnight use.
Cotton is blended in at 45% for softness and faster absorption at the surface. The blend gives you the capacity of hemp with the handling and feel of cotton.
No synthetic layers anywhere. The diaper body, the snap-in inserts, and every layer between skin and outer fabric are the same hemp-cotton blend. This is the defining feature of the All-Natural version.
Sizing
One size that grows with your baby
The snap system adjusts for babies from approximately 10 to 30 lbs — from around 2 months through early toddler years. Sizing is weight-based and may vary slightly by body shape.
| Fit Setting |
Weight Range |
Approx. Age |
| Small |
10–17 lbs |
~2–9 months |
| Medium |
17–23 lbs |
~9–18 months |
| Large |
23–30 lbs |
~18 months through early toddler |
Expect some shrinkage after first washes
Natural fibers shrink slightly after the first few washes. To avoid excessive shrinkage, don't over-dry the diaper or use extremely hot water — wash at a maximum of 90°F and tumble dry on low or medium heat. If your baby is between sizes or at the upper end of a weight range, size up.
Honest assessment
Is this the right product for your baby?
A straight look at what this fitted diaper does well, what the real trade-offs are with all-natural construction, and what first-time cloth diaper parents should know.
Works well for
- Parents intentionally avoiding synthetic fibers in contact with their baby's skin
- Heavy overnight wetters — the hemp-cotton core handles 10–12 hour stretches reliably
- Babies with sensitive, rash-prone skin who react to synthetic linings
- Parents who already have a waterproof cover and just need the fitted diaper
- Babies who sleep soundly regardless of whether they feel damp — if feeling wet doesn't disturb their sleep, the all-natural version is the simpler choice
Worth knowing
- This is not a complete overnight diaper on its own — a waterproof cover (PUL or wool) is required. Without a cover, moisture will pass through to pajamas and bedding
- Your baby will feel wetness sooner than with the Stay-Dry version. For some babies this is fine. For others — especially light sleepers — it can cause night wakings. If your baby is a stirrer, the Stay-Dry version may be a better fit
- Hemp takes several washes to reach full absorbency — first-night performance is not representative. Wash a few times before first use and expect continued improvement over the first week
- The diaper can feel stiff or crunchy after line drying — this is a natural characteristic of hemp. Tumble drying with other laundry softens it
For first-time cloth diaper parents
- A fitted diaper isn't a complete diaper — it handles the absorbing, and a separate waterproof cover handles the containing. Both are needed
- If you don't have a cover yet, the EcoAble Overnight Cloth Diaper Set bundles a fitted diaper with a PUL cover in one purchase — simpler starting point
- Hemp has a slightly earthy smell when new and when damp. This is normal and fades with washing
- If you use rash cream, use a liner between the cream and the diaper — petroleum in some creams coats hemp fibers and reduces absorbency over time
Care instructions
Washing your fitted diaper
Wash multiple times before peak absorbency Maximum 90°F Tumble dry low to medium No bleach No fabric softeners Do not boil Use a liner with rash cream
Knock any solids into the toilet before storing. Keep used diapers in a dry pail (no soaking) between washes. Machine wash at a maximum of 90°F. Tumble dry on low or medium heat, or hang dry — note that line drying can leave hemp feeling stiff, which softens after a short tumble or after use. Never boil, bleach, or use fabric softeners — all three damage hemp fibers or reduce absorbency. If you use rash cream, place a liner between skin and diaper to keep the cream off the fabric.
Questions and answers
What parents ask most
Including the questions that aren't obvious if you're new to fitted diapers.
Do I really need a cover, or can I use this on its own?
You need a cover. A fitted diaper absorbs moisture but has no waterproof layer — without a cover, moisture will soak through the diaper onto your baby's pajamas and bedding. This isn't a minor leak; the diaper will effectively transfer most of the wetness it holds. A waterproof cover (PUL or wool) is an essential part of the system, not an optional add-on. If you don't have a cover, buy one before using this diaper overnight.
What's the difference between the All-Natural and Stay-Dry versions?
Both versions use hemp-cotton absorbent cores and handle comparable overnight capacity. The difference is what touches your baby's skin. The All-Natural version (this product) has no synthetic layers — natural fibers throughout. The
Stay-Dry version is lined with bamboo rayon, which wicks moisture away from the skin so your baby feels drier. With the All-Natural version, your baby will feel wetness sooner as the diaper absorbs. It's a real trade-off — some babies are fine with it, others wake from the wet feel.
My baby seems uncomfortable or wakes up more at night. Is that the diaper?
It might be. Because there's no wicking lining, your baby is feeling the moisture the hemp has absorbed. For sound sleepers this isn't an issue. For babies who stir when they feel wet, it can lead to more wakings. If this starts happening after switching to this diaper and your other overnight routines haven't changed, the Stay-Dry version of this diaper is the direct fix — same shape, same capacity, but with a bamboo rayon lining that keeps the skin-side layer feeling dry.
How many inserts should I use overnight?
Start with both inserts snapped in for overnight use — that's the maximum capacity and a sensible default. Once you see how your baby's absorbency needs match the diaper, you can drop to one insert if you have capacity to spare, which reduces bulk and drying time. Some parents of lighter wetters use just one insert routinely. Heavier wetters or longer sleep stretches almost always need both.
Why does the diaper feel stiff or crunchy after line drying?
This is normal for hemp-cotton. Line drying leaves the fibers drier and stiffer than tumble drying. The stiffness softens quickly once the diaper is worn, or after a short tumble with other laundry. Some parents line dry to extend the life of the fabric and simply add a 5–10 minute tumble at the end to soften things up.
Can I use diaper rash cream with this diaper?
Yes, but use a liner between the cream and the fabric. Many rash creams contain petroleum or zinc oxide, which can build up on hemp fibers and reduce absorbency over time. A thin disposable or reusable liner sits between your baby's skin and the diaper, catching the cream so it doesn't transfer to the fabric. This keeps both the diaper and the treatment working properly.
How many fitted diapers do I need for overnight cloth diapering?
For overnight use with a 2–3 day wash rotation, most parents build a stash of 3–5 fitted diapers. This lets you always have clean ones on hand between wash cycles. One cover can be rotated across several fitted diapers — the cover only needs washing when soiled, not every night. If you're just trying the system to see how it works for your baby, a pack of 2 is a practical starting point.
