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 use them with Sun Baby, BumGenius, Alva, Kawaii. Pocket diapers are what I mostly use, and the liners work with all of those.

We ended up buying Kauai Baby Goodnight Heavy Wetter diapers. They come with two super thick microfiber inserts. We use both inserts plus a Thirsties hemp insert at night. But, this would be super bulky for daytime.

I use two soakers under the material that is in the diaper. My son is now 18months and we use these for bed time, they make it most nights with out leaking! Would buy again in a heart beat! Only down fall is that they do tend to hold the urine smell and need to have an extra rinse or a vinegar boost every 3-4 washes.

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 use these with the Thirsties covers and nothing else. No snappies or liners are necessary unless you want to use them. There are lots of YouTube videos with some great info and tips for explaining all the different types of cloth diapers. These diapers, along with the Thirsties covers (which last for years!) are by far the cheapest option for cloth diapering, and the least complicated in my opinion.

I use them for my toddler, she's not 22lbs yet but she's very active. They are thinner then other cloth diaper prefolds but I just double them up and they work really well with a diaper cover, even the pocket ones if you run out of soakers. Over night I will wrap one of my soakers in a prefold for extra absorbency then tuck it inside the pocket. They will shrink a little in the dryer, I learned that one myself... I don't mind it and it's not impacted their function at all... I found out from my Great Aunt that normally you line dry these though, so keep that in mind. If your wanting something that is more easy to use try looking for a 2 in 1 Diaper Cover with Microfiber Soaker Inserts. I purchased a bunch of those for our child and they are time savers and work very well. The prefolds can even be used into the Pockets of the Diaper Covers if you loose your inserts.

I use my daughter's old preemie pocket diapers. We just stuff them with a washcloth. I also found a babydoll simple diaper pattern, made them out of felt from hobby lobby doubled with a patterned felt on the outside and a matching plain color on the inside with half a wash clothe in the middle and made a matching bib. Hot glued on Velcro. All hand sewn with embroidery floss. Took a couple hours. Prefolded cloth diapers cut in half work well if you don't mind the pins

I use Pampers sensitive. I did use the huggies at the beginning but I had the same problem. I've been refilling with papers wipes for 8 months now.

We use CB one size and I ordered extra med/lrg inserts. They are good as doublers for night. I actually use them w our Bumgenious 4.0s as doublers. CBs tend to leak at the legs when doubling for night. I do use the osMed inserts along w a osSm insert for normal use now that my son is 24lbs. That is working great for us w minimal leaks. CB is a good diaper but Bumgeniuos 4.0 is a fabulous all around diaper day and night.

I have never used destin specifically, but I have used a couple other creams that weren't deemed "cloth diaper" safe, and haven't had a problem yet. In my opinion these are the best liners and I've tried a few different kinds.

I only ran the wash cycle twice and then put them in the dryer. I use a sensitive Tide, there are several to choose from. I didn't use cloth diapers for my first two, but my second two had allergies to disposable diapers and certain soaps. If your little one has a soap allergy I recommend goat's milk soaps and detergents. I love these diaper inserts. They are gentle on baby's skin and very absorbent.

We use the Planet Wise liners. I will say that now that we have been using this for just over 2 years, it has been great, but if we wait longer than every other day to do diaper laundry now that our son has more inserts in his diapers, the lid does not close all the way - it's not a big deal to us, because we keep it next to the washing machine in the laundry closet, and we do diaper laundry at least every third day, and usually every other day. Just wanted to let you know. Also, the little hole on the top became pretty useless after our son was out of newborn diapers. http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Wise-Reusable-Diaper-Avocado/dp/B003XSEV2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405605929&sr=8-1&keywords=diaper+pail+liner

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!

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

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

The inserts look to be.....double thickness of white micro fiber....they are sergered around the fabric.My daughter uses them with her little girl. They are very, very soft. The inserts are usable in other cloth diapering systems. The baby is a heavy wetter and has not had leaks. I hope this helps you!
