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.

That is what I use them in. Just make sure you bring the g diaper as far up to the top of the leg so they don't leak when baby moves. Also, they are a tad bulky depending on how big your baby is. I had to wait til my baby is 16 lbs for the best absorbancy.

Has anyone been using them with the new version of the playtex diaper genie (manufactured after jan 14?)

Some cloth diapers are extremely bulky and some can be very trim, perhaps too small at times. It really all depends on the brand of the cloth diaper in the age of your baby. I found that the BumGenius Freetimes were comically bulky on my baby up until she was 5months old. That is due to the fact that you cannot reduce the number of soakers you have in your diaper since they are sewn in. I've found these are great for nighttime diapers since they are extremely absorbent.

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.

follow up....I change both the inserts & the outer cover at each diaper change. Just seems like a better idea, when just changing the inserts. FYI: with these inserts, if you stay on top of it, and change as needed, no diaper rash. That's the big plus with cloth diapers.

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.

They might be pretty bulky with a liner but you could give it a try. I find these are pretty easy to clean with a sprayer. You can drop one of the flaps down in the toilet while holding the rest of the diaper up out of the way. I had both these and the elemental (ended up selling elemental and buying more of these) and found these much easier to clean bc the flaps are not attached on both ends, as they are with the elemental. As far as break in, they recommend washing them a couple of times before. I did that and they work great. Going on 5 months and I love theses diapers.

We have been using this for a few months and haven't noticed any issues. Anywhere from synthetics, to baby diapers, no issues for us.

I have one that I use as a night time diaper only. No leakage issues at all. They do need to be stripped regularly though. They micro terry on the inside of the soaker flaps gets stinky quickly. As far as a regular wash cycle I just cold rinse hot wash and cold rinse

The diapers are covered by warranty. Each diaper has it's own code with the tags, and you must register online for the warranty. I intended to, but never did. I have had only one issue, which was stictching at the tag in back had come loose on two (of 20), but I simply sewed it back up! I very strongly recommend these diapers!

I got the two of the chocolate brown color so I had a spare while I was washing a load of cloths. I wash & dry it with my cloth diapers and have never had any issues with the color bleeding. It is the same Gortex type liner as the diapers and I haven't experienced any other problems like it compromising the absorbancy, etc of my cloth diapers. It says you can dry it in the dryer but personally I found it works better when you hang dry.

I use this with cloth and i use the actual ubbi diaper liner and have not had an issues i love it!

No they are one consistent thickness, which is pretty thin. I use these as burp clothes folded in half and they work great for that. I can't imagine they'd work that well as cloth diapers. At least based on what I find in my little one's diapers!

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.

Your not suppose to use sheets, I read it is dangerous. As for wetting ummm diapers?

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!
