I very much enjoy being a product tester who can shed some new light on innovative products out there, and I have to say that this latest diaper I have tried can definitely qualify as being the most innovative, unique, creative diaper I have ever tried to date. Typically the cloth diapers I have tried (a great many of them!) have rectangular inserts (most frequently microfibre), with some sort of stay-dry lining (most often microsuede or microfleece), and the vast majority of the one-size ones I've tried have adjustable rise snaps.
The latest diaper I have tried, the ION by Evolution Diapers has none of these features, yet it is a one-size, stay-dry pocket diaper. I'm excited to share its unique, groundbreaking & newly patented technology with you!
The ION diaper, the brainchild of Evolution's CEO, Stacee Magee, is probably the most adjustable modern-styled diaper I have come in contact with. It features fully adjustable elastics for both the leg and waist, allowing the leg openings to flex from a teeny tiny 4 inches all the way to a chunky 14 inches at the thigh. At the waist, the elastic & snaps combo can cinch the waist from a generous 22 inches all the way down to a newborn-sized 9 inches. Truly, I believe that this diaper could deliver on its promise to diaper your child from newborn days all the way to potty training days--or, from 5-40 lbs.

the ION comes with two inserts, sewn doubled up for added absorption |
The ION is still a pocket diaper though, and it comes with two very unique inserts that are contoured to perfectly fit this diaper's pocket as well as baby's body. One insert is smaller, for when the diaper is sized much smaller--it has a contoured shape and comes in either a hemp/organic cotton blend or in a bamboo viscouse blend. I received the bamboo insert and was pleasantly surprised just how thin it was (much thinner than a microfibre insert). Although not soft and fluffy like microfibre, this insert still had super absorbant properties and was much less bulky in the pocket as it laid nice and flat. The larger insert has contoured "wings" towards the back (to fill in the tab sections of the diaper's snapping portion, near the bum) that ensure extra moisture absorption even through the seat of the diaper, especially during naptime. All the inserts have multiple layers sewn in to make them super absorbant.

this generous pocket is easy to stuff, and here you see the COOLMAX inner lining |
In terms of snapping on the waist, the ION has side-snapping fasteners at the waist and several columns of snaps to still get a custom fit (even once the elastics have been done up inside). It really is as "easy" as a disposable diaper to put on as you just pull in the wings and fasten it! Plus, I love how sleek the whole diaper looks with all the snaps and buttons primarily hidden--it's got a cute little "turtle shell" type of look, is how I described it to my hubby! Available in a variety of cute boy, girl, and gender-neutral prints, this diaper is also super fashionable and cute enough to wear with no cover at all, especially in the summer!
We never had a leak while wearing this diaper, whether from playtime to naptime, to double stuffing at bedtime, and I think I can attribute that the the great fit--as long as you take the time to carefully position your inner elastics, you should be good to go. I was shocked at how well the thin bamboo inserts absorbed, though I do with they would have laundered a little cleaner in terms of staining--though a bit of extra staining is to be expected from all natural fibres. I would recommend line-drying this insert in the sun to reduce staining and then tossing it in the dryer for the last 5-10 minutes to reduce the typical "crispiness" that natural fibres can get with purely air drying them.
Overall, this is a very neat diaper with great new North American, patented technology. The only down sides are the bit of a learning curve with it as it does function a little differently than other pocket diapers you might be used to, but if you are looking for something versatile and effective, this is a great new diaper line to investigate!
