Description
Leak-free nights, finally sorted
A high-absorbency fitted diaper paired with a waterproof cover — a complete reusable overnight cloth diaper system designed for 10–12 hours of protection without a change.
Built for babies who need more at night
Not every baby can make it through the night on a standard daytime diaper. This system is designed for the ones who can't — and for parents who are tired of waking up to wet bedding.
Everything in the set, explained
This set arrives with three components — the fitted diaper and two inserts that absorb, and one outer cover that protects. Here's what each one does and why it's needed.
Absorbency layer — 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 it has no waterproof layer. It absorbs all the moisture throughout the night.
This is the core of the system. It comes in two versions: Stay-Dry or All-Natural. Both absorb the same amount.
Boost absorbency — layer inside the fitted diaper
Two hemp-cotton inserts included — one long, one short — that lay inside the fitted diaper to increase its overnight capacity. Use both for heavy wetters or longer sleep stretches.
The short insert is lined with bamboo rayon on the Stay-Dry version, adding an extra layer of wicking next to the skin.
Protection layer — worn over the fitted diaper
The outer cover goes over the fitted diaper and does one job: contain everything inside. It is made from double-layer PUL — the same waterproof material used in the daytime cover — with leg gussets to seal the edges.
The fitted diaper cannot be used overnight without this cover.
Step 1 — Absorb: The fitted diaper and inserts hold moisture through the night. Step 2 — Protect: The waterproof cover prevents leaks onto pajamas and bedding. Both layers are essential — the fitted diaper cannot be worn overnight without the cover.
Same absorbency. Choose your feel.
Both fitted diaper options provide identical overnight absorbency and performance. The only difference is how they feel against your baby's skin. This is a comfort preference — not a performance difference.
If your baby is a heavy overnight wetter, either version will provide the same level of protection. Choose based on how you want your baby to feel overnight.
| Stay-Dry — Drier Feel Against Skin | All-Natural — Natural Fibers Against Skin |
|---|---|
| Wicks moisture away from the skin surface quickly | 100% natural fibers in contact with skin throughout |
| Baby feels drier even as the diaper holds wetness | Baby will feel wetness sooner as it absorbs — this is normal |
| Smooth inner layer — no wet sensation | Most popular choice among parents who prefer no synthetic layers |
| A good choice if your baby stirs easily or is sensitive to feeling wet | A good choice for babies with sensitive skin or parents avoiding synthetics |
Setting up your overnight system, step by step
If you've never used a fitted diaper before, this walks you through the full bedtime setup.
Fitted diapers feel different from pocket diapers or covers with inserts — they are shaped and fitted like a real diaper, which makes them one of the easiest overnight setups to use correctly once you've done it once. The two-step process (fitted diaper, then cover) takes about 30 seconds after the first night.
What makes this overnight system work
What it's made from, and why it matters
Every material in this system is chosen for overnight performance. Here's what's actually doing the work.
Fitted diaper · Long insert · Short insert
Fitted diaper: 55% hemp, 45% cotton absorbent core, lined with 100% rayon from bamboo on the skin-facing side. The bamboo rayon wicks moisture away from the surface quickly, so your baby's skin stays feeling dry even as the diaper holds wetness beneath.
Long insert: 55% hemp, 45% cotton. Handles the bulk of overnight absorption inside the fitted diaper.
Short insert: Bamboo terry layers with 100% rayon from bamboo on the skin-facing side. The bamboo rayon wicks moisture away from the surface; the bamboo terry beneath absorbs and holds it.
Fitted diaper · Long insert · Short insert
Fitted diaper: 55% hemp, 45% cotton. Identical absorbent construction to the Stay-Dry version — same capacity, same overnight performance.
Long insert: 55% hemp, 45% cotton. Same as the Stay-Dry version.
Short insert: 55% hemp, 45% cotton throughout — no synthetic or wicking layer. Natural fibers sit against your baby's skin from the first layer to the last. Your baby will feel wetness sooner as the diaper absorbs. This is a normal characteristic of natural-fiber diapers, not a sign of failure.
Waterproof cover — outer shell, both versions
PUL (polyurethane laminate) is a soft, flexible waterproof fabric. The cover uses a double layer for extra leak protection at the core where it matters most. This is the same cover used in the EcoAble daytime starter kit — durable, machine washable, and quick-drying. If you already have a daytime cover, it is compatible with this overnight fitted diaper.
One size that grows with your baby
Both the fitted diaper and the waterproof cover use the same adjustable snap system — no need to buy different sizes as your baby grows. Fits babies from 10 to 35 lbs — approximately 2 months through age 3+, depending on your baby's build. Adjust the rise snaps on both the fitted diaper and the cover to match your baby's current weight range.
| Fit Setting | Weight Range | Rise Snap Position |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 10–18 lbs | Snapped down — both rows |
| Medium | 18–26 lbs | Snapped down — one row |
| Large | 26–35 lbs | Unsnapped |
Is this the right system for your baby?
Here is a straight look at what this set does well, what to expect from hemp, and what first-time overnight cloth diaper parents should know.
- Heavy overnight wetters who soak through lighter options — hemp holds significantly more than standard inserts
- Babies 10–35 lbs using the adjustable snap system — covers most of the diapering years without buying a new size
- Parents transitioning from disposable nighttime diapers to cloth — this system matches that level of protection
- Overnight stretches of 10–12 hours without a change, when fitted correctly with both inserts
- Families already using the EcoAble daytime cover — the cover in this set is the same and is interchangeable
- Hemp takes 5–8 washes to reach full absorbency — don't judge overnight performance from the very first night
- The fitted diaper will feel wet and heavy in the morning. This is normal for hemp. If there are no leaks, the system is working correctly
- This system is designed for overnight use — it is more than needed for regular daytime changes. For daytime, see the EcoAble Cloth Diaper Starter Kit
- Avoid very hot dryer temperatures — excessive heat over time can make the hemp-cotton feel rougher than it should
- A fitted diaper is different from a pocket diaper or a cover with a lay-in insert — it's shaped like a real diaper, which makes it easier to put on correctly
- The two-step bedtime routine (fitted diaper, then cover) takes about 30 seconds once you've done it a couple of times
- Hemp smells slightly earthy when new and when wet — this is normal and fades with washing
- If you already have the EcoAble daytime cover, you can use it with just the fitted diaper from this set — you may not need to buy the full bundle
Washing your overnight set
Wash everything before first use — hemp absorbency builds over the first several washes, so pre-washing is important. Cold or warm rinse first, then a full wash cycle with your regular detergent. No fabric softeners — they coat the hemp and cotton fibers and reduce absorbency over time. Air dry the waterproof cover to protect the PUL layer. The fitted diaper and inserts can be tumble dried on low, but avoid high heat — excessive temperatures over time can make the hemp-cotton feel rough. The entire set can be washed together in one load.
