We're TTC #2 and I'm seriously considering cloth diapering this time around. Any known leakage issues or latex bands with this set?

Have had them for two weeks and no leaks yet, and my LO is tiny. He is within the weight range for the size ones, but they are too big and don't fit him right. Despite this, still no leaks.

I don't know about the latex but we have had virtually no leakage issues with this wrap when we fold our prefold cloth insert properly. It took us awhile to figure out what worked for our baby, I watched a video on YouTube on how to fold the prefold different ways to minimize leaks and immediately saw improvement when coupled with this wrap. We also used the snappis for awhile while we were getting the hang of cloth diapering, this also seemed to help stop leaks.

I had no leaks. I agree with trying different folds. When I was new to cloth diapering, I found that leaks were almost always caused by my folding techniques. Trifold is the easiest but does not contain blowouts.

I just ordered some and am new to cloth diapering... But yes, you must wash the cover and insert when used as a pocket diaper. I plan on ordering Prefolds and bamboo inserts and just putting those on the diaper instead of the insert and using the covers as covers. Hopefully to be able to reuse the cover a few times.

Congratulations!! It will be too big at first. My baby's first cloth diaper cover was Bummis Super Brite, size newborn and it was perfect. The prowrap works but it is a bit cheap and sticky. Good luck!!!

Yes, quite well! With cotton pre-folds, I sometimes find that my son's skin is wet when I change his diaper. These leave his skin feeling as dry as it would be in a disposable!

To be honest, I thought the same thing and bought some myself, but never used them. I think you use them on the insert and then put the cover on? Never tried it that way. I do use the snappies on the other cloth diapers we have from our second child.

I have had the exact same problem with baby wipes. I have had these for months, and have had no problems.

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.

I think there was a good deal of lint in the first 2 wash/dry cycles. I washed and dried them 4 times to prep them. I love them, they're my favorite diaper. I have 18 of these, 12 Econobum, and 18 BumGenius 4.0 pockets.

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 do not use cloth diapers, but I have not had any issues with clothing (mine or my daughter's) regarding the cream, e.g staining, sticking, etc. It is definitely thicker than other creams which is why I like it, but it takes some adjustment to find the right amount and usage for your child. I have tried a handful of other creams, but I always go back to Burt's Bees after a week or so. I highly recommend it.

What a neat use for the fabric sheets! We really didn't know, so we applied two tests. First we spit on it, imitating a baby as best we could. It didn't run. We then held it under running water for a minute or so and rubbed it vigorously. Again, it didn't run. However, the label we tested was printed a couple weeks ago, so the inkjet ink had plenty of time to dry. We think you'd be safe in printing the baby books -- good luck!

My baby was able to use them until he was one month old. When he was newborn the diaper was too big and it leaks!

I had the same issue with some, while others from the same package will lie perfectly flat. I ended up just using them as burp cloths and using a different cloth diapering system.

Yes they do - I'm currently using med/large gpants. Might have to double them over in the small ones. They scrunch up a little bit inside the plastic gpant, but not to the point where they touch the outside (fabric) part of the gdiaper. I just kind of hold it in place with my hand while I pull the diaper up and over kiddo's bottom.

I've heard it works extremely well with cloth diapers. A friend used liners just the same. I can't speak of it myself.
