I was surprised at my findings and crazy that the Capris are bigger AND smaller than than other OS covers!
Duo 1 and Capri size 1
  Duo 2 and Capri size 2
  Capri size 1 and Flip and Capri size 2
  Capri size 1 and Coverall and Capri size 2
  Capri size 1 on 10 lb 2.5 month old w/ a snappied flat (middle setting)
  Capri size 1 on 25 lb 19 month old w/ a pinned flat (small but works and fits better w/ the size 1 insert)
 Capri size 2 on 25 lb 19 month old w/ a pinned flat (smallest snap setting)

I have the inserts but need to prep them at least once before taking pics. I am a lover of Flips and Duos but will sell all of them in a heartbeat for more of these as long as they dont give either of my DDs red marks!
I also have Grovia shells but decided to get the other pics listed.
These are an awesome cover for the $! They are heavier duty and fit small and bigger than the other OS covers we have and cuter too!!!
Cant wait to compare the inserts to our Flip stay drys.

LOL I never know who people here are on other sites. Just responded on DS.
That is SO cool! I can totally see these taking a huge bite out of Thirsties' market. They really have the go-to diaper for newborns for awhile. Now I'm really wishing I could have snagged a size 1 for SIL. She's almost due. I know she'd love them but they only had snaps left, and she only does velcro. Boo. |

Great pictures! And super cute models! I was about to get one capri in monkey print (was sitting in my cart during their seconds sale) but decided not to, since we don't need more covers! They do look nice!

Ok, so what's the difference between these and weehuggers? I'm outa the diaper loop I guess. I will be needing a few nb/ small covers in a few months and these look great for padfolding. I love flips too but it'd be nice to have another option. And, link anyone?

The two major differences are that the flaps are PUL instead of fabric, and the outer is also PUL instead of a fabric outer. They also seem to have a wider size range between the two sizes. Other than that, the fit seems to be similar to the Weehugger. I do like that the back flap is more substantial on the Capri than on the Flip (which I also really like for pad folding). http://www.swaddlebees.com/Products/Diaper-Covers/capri_cloth_diaper_covers_hl |

Ahh decisions! We are getting back into CD and I was planning on purchasing a couple Weehuggers and Capris to try. Now I'm wondering if it'd be a waste of money because I could end up loving capris. My stash will be mainly GMD PFs with a few WH. Both DH and I like trifolding. I'm torn about purchasing only one brand of cover in the fear that it won't work for us but all the reviews for Capris are raving about them. If you ladies were in my shoes and needed all new covers to fit your 9month DS/DD what would you do? Are they worth the risk?

Yes! The Capri is just as good quality as the Blueberry Coveralls (which I've never heard of those failing...ever), and they come even smaller/bigger in the 2 sizes of Capri. You really can't go wrong. You can also fit one over a Workhorse easily!

If you're already a fan of the Weehugger, you'll love the Capri. It has all the good stuff about the WH but better. Well, I do miss the little mitten flaps- those are AWFULLY cute. LOL
I'm obviously a fan. I would (did...LOL) go with the Capri. I've played with a lot of diaper products and this is truly one of my favorites. It's SUPER versatile- does fantastic with trifolding or padfolding and is wide enough to fit well over fitteds. It also has a wider size range than any other cover I've tried. |

wow - thanks for the pics - the fit looks sooo good!! i'm hoping that silas will be out of diapers soon, but those sure are tempting . . . ;)
and your DD is soooo beautiful. at first glance, i thought she was a doll [in a good, non-creepy, sort of way], her skin is so perfectly smooth and little face so adorable. ;)
