Drybees Gone Natural bamboo diapers have just arrived and they are soooo incredibly soft. They are priced much lower than similar diapers on the market, yet they are great quality and faster to dry than some other brands. The new Drybees Gone Natural diapers are made with an outer layer of bamboo velour and an inner layer of soft, absorbent bamboo fleece. My model is wearing a size 2 set on the medium rise. She is a tiny 12 pounds, but fits most one-size diapers on a medium setting or medium sized diapers.

The Drybees bamboo diaper are made in two sizes. The official size range for size 1 is 5-15 pounds, but they look to me like they will fit really well from about 5-12 pounds. The size 2 snaps down enough that I think I could have started Eva in it at 8 pounds, though the official size range is 12-36 pounds. For larger babies I think the size 2 will be very close to a one-size bamboo, though you will want the smaller size if you have a premie or small newborn.

The Drybees Gone Natural has 2 additional soakers, one that snaps in and an upper soaker that is bamboo velour topped. The upper soaker is sewn in. This makes for fast drying, with very little bulk.

The edges are serged in rainbow thread. The bamboo velour is unbleached but is a very soft, light beige. These fit well under Thirsties, Bummis, Sheepish Grins One Size Wool and Little for Now Fleece diaper covers.

These diapers fasten with snaps, so no fear of the diaper snake or snagging in the wash. The snap in back soaker is covered by the front soaker so there are no snaps touching baby. The snap in soaker can be left in place for washing, so there is nothing to lose or find in the wash.
