FAQ
Are Cuddle Kin diapers available in 26-month size?
The closest match is size 5 or 6 depending on weight. See sizing chart.
Should we switch to pull-ups at 26 months?

Are bamboo diapers absorbent enough overnight at 26mo?
Yes — the bamboo + super-absorbent core handles 12-hour overnights for most heavy wetters.
