is it bulky? we used the Iplay, but not happy with the look. From the back, it looks like the diapers is hanging down a lot. How does the Finis look?

Not really bulky. It hides under her swimsuit pretty well. But it's tight on her legs. I probably should have gotten a bigger size than I thought originally.

We have to use 2 of them at once as per the rules of the place our daughter has swim lessons. They fit beneath her swimsuit fairly easily doubled, so 1 should be fine.

We have the finis and the iplay. There is a big difference in fit. The finis is very close fitting - order up a size tight, where the iplay is very roomy and yes, saggy. I would order down a size for the iplay to improve fit and order up a size for the finis. It is not bulky at all. I think it has less layers. We wear the finis under swimsuit bottoms, while the iplay is the swimsuit bottom.

I would also agree that it is "average-big" ;) -- definitely not bulky or cumbersome. But what's interesting about it is that it "seems" bigger because it holds so much. But I think that's because everything is so organized. I have twin boys and there's enough room for everything I need for them when venturing out.

That's a hard call as it may be big for your little one.I feel like for practicality reasons, it wouldn't be too big for long, but it may seem like she is lost in it for a little while. I don't have experience with the smaller one so I'm not sure how to compare.

I used a regular case, which is too big. So I just fold the excess and make do with it. My kid does not seem to mind the not-so-perfect fit.

I'm sorry, I don't have a video, but if the battery compartment is in place correctly (seems like I hadn't turned the plastic piece sufficiently the first try) the cradle part gently sways back and forth with the option of cheesy music. I should say though that my grand-baby actually enjoyed the music (ears not fully developed?) She has just about out grown the bassinet now, but we loved it; it is easy to move around the house and the height was just right. Hope you can get it to work for you!

I don't find it bulky at all. I purposely looked for one that was as flat as I could get with the wallet built in. I don't know about the Incipio case.

I agree. There is a lot of slack in the harness. Also, your child would fit comfortably. If you go to the website for the product, I'm fairly confident that there is a video, so you could see it being actually used.

This isn't the type of diaper that gets inserts, like a pocket diaper, this is just a cover. It would go over a prefold or something similar. Nothing but the cover is included.

I have to agree with the other ladies. They are thicker than disposable diapers, and can make some clothes a little snug. I however don't think that it is a problem. The fact that they are really good diapers more than makes up for that.

I personally like the case - but I like the look of not having everything in baggies.... That's just me. Everyone is different. I feel like I can just toss it in the diaper bag and it stays clean....

I also use green mountain diaper and imagine brands and the osocozy are just as absorbent, but they don't fit as well on my chunky baby. They did take several washes before they reached full absorbency but that should be expected.

I am a DDD as well and I´ve had no issues with it. I am using it with my second child. The material is great and I do not think is has a narrow construction as someone else pointed out. I recommend you get this one. Is very sturdy, I feel save putting my kids in it. And for as mothers with big boobs, it makes hands-free-breastfeeding pretty convenient.

I replaced the 2L that came with it with this one when I need over 2L, but otherwise I use the factor bladder: Platypus Big Zip SL 3-Liter Hands-Free Hydration SystemWith 3L in it, it is a tight fit and the bladder is taller than the one that came with it, but I thought it worked ok. That said, I don't normally carry 3L and if I did all the time, I'd probably want a bigger pack. The other option would be to throw a couple bottles of water in the side webbing pockets. With the other stuff I normally carry, 3L makes the pack pretty tight when it's full of water, but obviously as you drink it down, it gets looser. I can say I really like the pack overall, it's great quality.

I have one-size pockets, and they fill up the whole diaper, front to back, completely unsnapped. I would say that it would be kind of scrunched up in the middle, or you might have to double them over. They are a lot thinner (although same absorbency) as my microfiber inserts, so I don't think there would be a big difference in bulk if you doubled them over.

I see someone else answered. Its not quite as thick and plump as it appears in the picture. I was disappointed when I opened it. But once I used it I love it. I have a six month old that was just to confined in her baby bath tub and to difficult to wash her anymore. This I put in the tub she loves it and I do too. Keeps her in place not sliding all over the tub just feels much more safe.

I haven't found that - I'll do my best to describe... it is an all-in-one but the inside has 2 flaps, one attached at back & one at front, they overlap (see the 2nd pic). So while it's AIO, it's not bulky cloth, the layers make it as quick to dry. I also have a Grovia AIO & a few pocket diapers - the Grovia defintely takes a little longer! Hope this helps!

I wouldn't say it's roomier. It's better designed for baby gear and I know which pocket everything is in. Never used a regular backpack for this, so I really can't compare. I used a diaper bag for the 1st year and then looked for a backpack that wasn't too babyish. This fit the bill and it works great for us.
