Has anyone used these in non-pocket diapers? I use a pre fold diaper with a thirsties snap cover and am wondering if the inserts would work for that

I use a single hemp insert inside Thristies covers. Works wonderfully. With cloth diapers you should change after every wet, and one insert should be plenty absorbent for one wet. My baby is 4 months old and one wet leaves only half the insert wet, so it theoretically could hold two wets from a baby her size/age, but more likely only one wet for older babies and toddlers. LOVE this system because it is sooo TRIM under clothing!

I think they would work great! I am new to cloth diapering and really like these inserts so far. I lay them in all kinds of diapers to add absorption with little bulk, including covers and All In Ones. I usually put them behind another faster absorbing insert to use with my two year old. I have not tried them by themselves with a cover. They would work great combined with a prefold too. I would put them closest to the diaper cover since they absorb more slowly than prefolds.

We're on our third baby and have used these since our first was in diapers. We only use them with pre-folds. They work great.

They could be placed inside a prefold if extra absorbency is needed. You can place these in pocket diapers, layer on an All-in-one diaper, or even lay these inside a diaper cover (like a bum genius brand Flip diaper.) these are versatile and can be placed directly against babies skin if desired.

I don't use disposable liners so I can't answer your question easily. What I can say is that these are just like any other pocket diapers. So if you can use the liners you wish to use with pocket diapers (say bumgenius, blueberry, hero, etc) then you can use those liners with these diapers.

my baby was 6lbs at birth and is now 10lbs - they have fit great so far. I would classify her as a "skinny" baby. In the beginning we really had to wrap them tightly and angle the tabs a bit because her legs were so skinny. I used them with GMD- Workhorse clotheze fitteds and they worked fabulous - never had any urine leaks only the occasional EBF diaper blowout. But honestly the cloth did better with big poos than disposables. She is just now starting to grow out of them :)

That depends. If you do it like recommended, then yes. Instead of putting the inserts in the pocket as it calls for, we just lay them inside so that they act as a liner instead. This way, for wet diapers all that needs to be changed and washed is the insert/liner and the cover can last half a day at the least. With poop, it depends on the volume to be honest. A large poop will get enough mess in there to need to change the whole thing, but smaller ones generally don't for us. We generally go through 12-15 inserts and 2-4 covers a day.

No snaps. I don't use pins since the diaper covers (I have a variety of different kinds) tend to hold them in place as long as everything is tucked in and in the right spot. Its just easier for me but its more of a matter of preference. Hope this helps.

I've never used flips but I use prefolds and other inserts in them and it works perfectly. These happen to be one of my favorite diapers and we have a large collection of all different kinds of cloths.

I used them on my girl until 2 (when we potty trained) and they were still plenty big. I didn't attach them to my girl, though, I used a pad fold in a flip or thirsties cover. (If you are looking for more info on flats in general, check Dirty Diaper Laundry, my fav. cloth info site)

Hi! I use bum genius organic all in one. These inserts are great. They seem big initially. U cant place it between the two inner linings but u can lay it on top and the diaper can contain it. Its pretty much the diameter of the entire diaper and is a touch longer but I prefer that because sometimes the snaps on the diaper roll in and pushes on babys belly so this is a nice cushion. I made it work and it keeps baby dry at night. A little bulk y for daytime use though.

Are you just trying to make the disposable diapers "cute"??? Because that seems like a wast of money to me. You can get outfits that come with covers. I'm not sure why you would want to use it over a disposable. It works great with prefolds and cloth inserts though! I have two and they've been GREAT!

I use the thirsties covers. I lay the cotton diaper on the cover then fold it to fit and snap the cover closed. Easy as that!

Dear Amber, these inserts can be put in and out of the pocket diaper, washed separately.

These are pretty awesome, btw - one of the best cloth diapering inserts on the market. This product is an insert - you lay in inside a diaper cover like this bumgenious one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072FRFI6?tag=blself-20 . Assuming your child has only wet the diaper, you can just pull out the wet insert and put in a dry one, reusing the cover. This means you only need one cover for ever 3 or 4 changings. When your child goes number 2, the mess will likely spread onto the inside of the cover, and you'll want to wash both. If you are serious about cloth diapering, get a diaper sprayer: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00938R0XA?tag=blself-20 . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

These absorb well for us. There the only prefolds I've ever tried. I also boiled for about 40 min and they quilted up nice and thick and shrunk significantly. They lay perfect in a cover I don't imagine I'd be able to wrap around my baby and snappi them. This might sound dumb but I didn't realize before I bought them, these stay very wet on babies bottom. Definitely use with fleece liners or it's like a wet rag on their bum every time you change them :\

I've read several opinions on this... I haven't tried them yet because my son is still too little to fit these diapers... some people say they put liners in the pocket & put liners on the inside of the cover to get several uses... hope that helps a little...

They work great! Just lay them over the top of the diaper and you might have to tuck the sides of the liner into the diaper a bit once it's on so that it doesn't stick out. We've used these liners with prefolds, pockets, and aio diapers they work well with them all.

I use them for one size pocket diapers, but have never tried them specifically with one size thirsties.
