First of all I own three Thirsties Fab Fitted diapers and several Thirsties Duo wraps and have had no leaking problems with either. I purchased three of these pocket/all-in-ones in size medium for the babysitter to use. I washed and machine dried these diapers three times with my other diapers and covers (cold water prewash w/ vinegar, hot wash with All Free and Clear, super rinse) before I tried them out. I stuffed them with a hemp insert and a cotton gauze flat fold for nighttime. My poor little one woke up about five hours later in a puddle! The diaper had leaked out the back. I stuffed another diaper that same night and tried again. Another puddle :(. I proceeded to check the final diaper for repelling the next morning and it seemed to be doing it’s job. I then checked the seams and made sure the diaper fit properly. I decided to do three more washes and see if that helped. I washed and machine dried three more times and tried again. This time during the day with no inserts. It was soaked after an hour! Maybe I had mineral/soap residue. I stripped the diapers by themselves using 1TBSP Dawn soap in a hot water wash with three HOT rinses. Machine dried. Stuffed for overnight and got to change the sheets…..I washed the diaper with my diapers as usual and it reeked of ammonia when I took it out. I have finally given up. My Fab fitted diapers are made of the same material and I have never had to strip them and have not experienced any lingering odors. It also wasn’t my inserts as I have NEVER had to strip my flats or my hemp and they are very absorbant. I am so confused. Some of the other reviewers have had great success with the diaper and I am glad. It is a great (in theory) diaper for a great price.

I wish I bought these sooner! I have both BumGenius and Thirsties AIOs in size XS…my daughter is 10 lbs, 12 oz now and still fits in the Thirsties XS but outgrew her BumGenius over a month ago. They take awhile to dry but make cloth diapering super easy.

Every baby is different and every diaper fits differently. When you deal with disposables, this really comes home. We had been using Earth’s Best, but after one too many blow outs, failed velcro, or wiggle offs I was ready to try anything that might prevent the next “poo-copylics” (don’t ask).My spouse got a “cloth diaper trial pack” from a local store, and in my fear of another poocopylics, I decided to go along. I fell in love with the Thirsties. With all the snaps, and gusseting, and fittings these diapers should be able to fit every baby type. Whether you have a long and lean (like me) or a little chubby, this diaper should be adjustable enough to fit them perfectly. I’ve been impressed with how these diapers fit my son.Now the important stuff, these things are absorbent. We haven’t even come close to a blowout – and we’ve had some that sounded (and felt) like close calls. These diapers hold a lot, and between that, the second insert (if needed) and the gussets I think you’d be hard pressed to have any type of leakage.I must say, I was really afraid of cloth. I grew up thinking that cloth was hard, that they leak, and that they are just more dirty. What I found out is that they fit a ton better than disposables (a ton better). This means that they leak less (which is important to me). And this leads to less clothing changes, sheet changes, and in general, a cleaner, happier environment. I never thought I’d say that. Never in a million years did I think I’d be converted to cloth, but I have been.The other advantages are that you can have less chemicals touching you baby’s bottom and you are being kinder to the environment. Did I mention that Thirsties (and the flips too) are insanely easy to get on and off and there is very little mess (granted our son is 4 months old, so really, almost everything is absorbed anyway). You will need to run your washer a whole lot more but if you go 2-3 days, you’ll find you have a washer full ready to go.

I haven’t used them for cloth diapering yet, but for burp cloths, they barely even work, so I’m guessing I won’t bother using them.First off, the flaps on the side aren’t even symmetrical to the pad in the middle…one flap on one side is shorter than the other…so this kind of threw me off right off the bat.I prewashed them about 6-8 times, as recommended by the internet, but they’re still not very absorbent.

These prefolds are too thin. There are better product on amazon…something like indian cotton prefold diapers…dont remember the ones with blue edges

I have had both the purple and red bordered sizes now, and have been very happy with both. I find that they do indeed fit much better inside the diaper covers than the traditional diapers. Like others have said, these are not meant to be worn like traditional cloth diapers; you simply fold them and lay them in a diaper cover. My little girl just started soaking the purple diapers, so I moved up to the red. She is just under 14 lbs, which is the minimum suggested for the red diapers, so I would say they are pretty on the mark with sizing. We use them with Thirsties covers. I did have to buy larger covers before I expected; the smaller Duo wrap covers claim to go up to 18 lbs but the 14-30 lb (red) diapers don’t fit in them. However that’s okay, because the larger covers fit her fine as well. I’d say that’s more of an issue with the cover sizing, but I thought anyone else using said covers might like to know.

This is by far the best night time solution for my 38lb potty trained by day, heavy wetter by night! Paired with a bamboo insert and wool cover, this is the only thing that keeps my child dry until morning and saves me from sheet changes and laundry nearly daily!

Tried mutiple– gdiapers-kawaii-soft bums- generic-naughty baby—-these are one of my fav! Love them and softbumsfor pocket diapers! Hold leaks-blowots well! Would recommend! Oh…I have a 5 mo.old that I use them on. 🙂

These diapers are of good quiality, totally recomend. Just be sure that they will not fit a newborn, and if your newborn is big (mine was 7. 1/2 pounds, would say ti could fit a 10 p) it will be two high on the waist so it could rub on the umbilical cord. Besides that they are GREAT. Totally recomend the brand and this diaper.
