Moraki One Size Cloth Diapers

Moraki = Baby, and a stylish one at that!

I know a lot of eco-conscious parents out there love cloth diapering and also prefer to avoid any questionable manufacturing. Well, if you are also looking for made in the USA, you are in luck because Moraki cloth diapers are making waves all over the cloth sphere these days. Moraki, Greek for Baby, is an American made cloth diaper line designed and manufactured right in San Diego County. Not only are they domestically made, but they are sewn mostly in family homes and even ship in eco-friendly packaging.

I added a Moraki cloth diaper to our stash recently, and it has become my go-to diaper for overnight. The secret lies in the front flap and awesome inserts, but first things first. Features!

The Moraki cloth diaper is a one size pocket style diaper with four rise settings and 10 columns of waist snaps. The waist does not have crossover tabs, so it might not fit a newborn right away, but it does still size down pretty small. Most people do not start using one size diapers until closer to 10 to 12 pounds. Since the inserts are made with natural fibers, you can also just lay them in the diaper cover  to use as an all in two diaper.

This cloth diaper has a polyurethane laminate(PUL) outer shell for a water proof protection against leaks and a fleece inner lining for  keeping baby feeling dry.




How does it differ from other pocket diapers?

Three things:

  • A front flap of PUL that prevents frontal wicking. This is great if you having a tummy sleeper and tend to have an issue with the fleece moving forward as they crawl and squirm. The PUL flap makes the front, top area at the snaps more water proof and basically makes it impossible to have leaks out the top of the diaper.
  • The pocket is an envelope type opening in the center instead of the sleeve or pocket opening in the front or back. This means you hold the diaper by the ends and shake out the insert instead of reaching into the shell and pulling out the inserts. At first, I was leery of this style of opening because I tend to over stuff my diapers for safety against a flood and I didn’t think they would shake out. I had visions of having to ram my fingers through piles of poop in order to fish out the inserts and swish the diaper in the toilet. (There is no such thing as ploppable in this house.) Luckily, that was not an issue, even when I put all three inserts in the shell for overnight.
  • The inserts. These inserts are awesome. I normally do not give much thought to fancy inserts since my kids tend to be super soakers and nothing ever seemed to be a trimmer option that worked, no matter how much everyone else raved about it. These inserts are four layers of 55 percent hemp and 45 percent organic cotton. They are sewn into a loop that can then just fold to fit the diaper size setting. I like the loop style since it dries quickly draped over the radiator, plus these babies hold a lot of liquid. I have been stuffing multiple flats and inserts into my kids’ overnight diapers since they were just eight weeks old. It ends up bulky and uncomfortable looking, but I hate leaks. Well, for the first time ever, Wyn wore a trim diaper to bed and has consistently woken up dry each morning in the Moraki. I use the small, medium, and overnight inserts all together for the entire night.

As you can see below, my 12 month old fits perfectly with lots of snaps to spare. She is currently almost 18 pounds but looks smaller. Even with all three inserts available, the diaper is fairy trim.

It fits snugly in the thighs, but does not leave marks. It also does not gap funny in the waist .

I like how sturdy the PUL feels on the Moraki cloth diapers. Not only are the diapers constructed in the USA, but Moraki also tries to source its materials here as much as possible.

This Tie Dye print called “Hippie” is super cute and each diaper in this print looks slightly different. And nothing goes better with a Grateful Dead Onesie than a tie dye cloth diaper!

I also love the Smarty Pants print and featured it in my cloth diaper wishlist!

Overall, I really liked Moraki and the quality is obvious before you even use them. I am really pleased to see another brand on the scene that is actually made in North America instead of outsourced.

    I like that they are made in the USA and are really good at soaking things up without being bulky!

    I like the versatility of this AI2 pocket diaper, I dont have any pockets yet and I think they might be easier to care for than AI1s.

  18. Katie W

    I really like the fold to fit option. Fluffles is so darn cute! And their black diaper is pretty cool too.

  41. Katie Pitcher

    and I love that they’re made in the US! I also love the tummy panel…I feel like it makes them more “daddy-proof”!

    I would choose the yellow diaper. It’s such a fun color and would be a unique addition to our just growing stash.

  70. Lisbeth

    I like that they are so well-reviewed – I’ve never seen a review of a Moraki diaper that didn’t gush about the quality!

    I would definitely have to go with Fluffles!! I’ve always wanted a ruffled diaper! Thanks for posting this review–I have a 19# 12mo old, and I love this way this fits on your LO!

  98. Bekah

    I like the way the pocket overlaps in the center…I’m sure it makes it easier to get the insert all the way in, rather than having to try to shove your hand all the way up to the front!

    Ease of Use
    How easy is the diaper to put on, take off, stuff etc?
    Bang for the Buck
    Do you feel the diaper is worth the retail price?
    Fit
    When I first got this my baby was 2 months old and just under 8 pounds. She was skinny with scrawny little legs. This diaper fit her well, with no leaking at all. She is now 8 months old and 21 pounds. She has very chunky thighs and some diapers leave her chafed and red on her thighs because she is very active. This diaper is soft and never leaves red marks or chafing. It also fit my 2 year old niece when my sister tried it over the holidays. She is considering switching to cloth with her newborn.
    Performance
    I have had no leaks at all the whole time that I have been using this diaper. The insert is very trim and absorbent. This is my go-to night time and nap-time diaper. The insert is very soft and absorbent and the fold to fit feature allows me to customize the fit and absorbency where I need it and yet it dries super fast. The lining easily releases poop into the toilet and cleans very easily using a sprayer or the dunk and swish method. The envelope-style pocket stuffs easily and the insert comes out in the wash.
    Overall
    I love, love, love this diaper. The style is trim and cute. The designs are adorable. I would recommend to anyone, and have already recommended it to family and friends.

      I am so glad it works so well for you! It has become my go-to night time diaper as well. I am thinking of getting some for my older toddler.

    I honestly haven’t used Moraki diapers before, I am just making my way into the cloth diapering world, but am trying to build my stash, so this would be an awesome opportunity!

  162. Micaela

    I really like that the diaper has this opening in the middle for easily shaking out the insert. Genius!

  165. Geri Fink

    There are so many wonderful things about this diaper and company! I really like how there was so much thought that went into the design, from the materials used to the people making the diapers. It has great features from the inside out.

  170. One Southern Girl

    I love how many cute prints they have! I also like the opening in the middle of the diaper… love my other diapers with that feature!

    Being an outdoor-sie family, I love the Camo print. I think my little girl and maybe her future brother would rock that diaper!

  210. ASHLEY S

    I love that they are OS because it’s more cost effective than having to buy multiple sizes over time!

  212. Catherine

    I love everything about this company, and I already bought a couple diapers, my 2yo took one for a spin last night and it was great! Never prepped and still no leaks!

  226. Julie Ragozzine

    I’m intrigued by the envelope opening for the inserts – haven’t seen that yet (I’m new to cloth diapering), would love to give it a try!
