Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers were created by Tereson Thomas, a stay at home mom who’s baby was experiencing a persistent diaper rash. She made the Fuzzi Bunz diapers with a thin layer of micro fleece between the baby’s bottom and the absorbent insert. The micro fleece is attached a polyurethane laminated (PUL) outer poly knit except for a small area in the back where insert the absorbent layers.

Fuzzi Bunz seem to be the hottest reuseable diaper around.
