Fitted Cloth Diapers: Thirsties Diaper Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These things are great! I've never had a blow out with them or any leaks. But they do SEEP, and if you're not careful, the can soak EVERYTHING on or near baby.

What happens is this: the inside of the diaper is waterproof - awesome. But the nice white edging on the diaper is all cloth. As such, it's very soft on baby's skin, but it is also very absorbent. So if moisture from a wet pre-fold diaper seeps onto the edging, it soaks the edging and then the edging soaks baby's clothes and everything baby has on. And this happens often because of the silly little sizing tag that hangs down in the back of the diaper. The tag will get wet, then the wet seeps onto the edging, then the wet edging seeps onto clothes, blankets, etc. Ugh.

The solution is simple - just cut the tags out. Or it would have been easier for Thirsties to make them with printed in tags so you don't have to guess as to the size when you cut the tags out.

Otherwise:

Fit: great! They fit pre-folds lovely. Very adjustable. I've never seen a blow out.

Clean up: Urine is no problem. I find that nearly every poo requires me to change the cover also and wash it, but the poo stays in the cover and does not leak. Since the covers are cheap, I bought 6 of each size I need. (I do about a load of whites a day, so a few are always being cleaned.)

Washability: GREAT! these things have gone through the washer so many times and still look fine. they haven't stained for me.

Comfort: no diaper rash and counting. and baby doesn't have wrinkles on her butt like she gets from disposables

Hassle: for a cloth diaper, minimal. pre-folds (Well, at least the ones I use) don't "wick" away moisture, so I never leave her in them for long, so I change her diapers more often with the cloth. I do NOT travel with these or leave them for sitters. these are at-home, mom-or-dad-on-duty only diapers. but since that's most of the day, it's awesome.

Economy: great! they hold up, last for a long time with adjustability, and were cheap for a very nice product

Looks: they do give baby a big butt, but seriously, it's not like baby has a really svelte figure anyhow. they do require me to dress her a size bigger for a good fit, though.

OVERALL: nice! just fix that stupid tag in the back thing and these would be perfect (but again, you can just cut them out)
