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 love mine. I boiled mine before using them. It is important not to skip this pre use step. You could wash and dry them many times too. Get the bigger red size and skip the purple edge ones. Our baby was out of those pretty fast. One thing I like to do is get a regular prefold and layer one of these folded inside and snappi or pin it all together. It really keeps the poo off the cover. However once the baby is mobile just packing it in a cover and snap your done is best.

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

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.

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!

From what I've read and heard these are excellent for cloth diapers. I only have 1 friend who has used them for this purpose. She loves it. Hope this helps

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

I don't cloth diaper, but there seems to be plenty of room left over the disposables. My daughter is 3, in size 6 diapers and i think we use medium or large. I would say maybe try bigger size if not sure. They are a little thin...i have poked a hole in them as i was trying to put them on her. Put they work well for overnight protection.

I'd get at least a bulk package of 24 to begin with, especially if you don't want to wash diapers every day. I can sometimes do the wash every 3rd day, if baby doesn't have diarrhea or anything like that. For myself, I only got 18 b/c I was given other used cloth diapers brands as gifts (but Bumgenius is the best), but they round up to 30 or so. I found that it was nice to have a few extra to keep in the diaper bag for trips, in addition to the bulk I keep in the nursery. I got the one-size (up to 35 pounds) - a little more expensive than the S-M-L individual sizes, but cheaper in the long run.

Not sure. they are great diapers. I highly recomend them and they are alot cheaper than other cloth diapers. Only complain is leaking at night but that is my experience with ALL cloth diapers.

You have to wash the prefolds every time. You can get several diaper changes out of a cover, until you get a major poo. The rule of thumb is 3 or 4 prefolds for every cover. PS The econobum prefolds are my favorite so far. The cover is so-so.

We double these, but it is our preference because we have two so-called "heavy wetters." One of our daughters (two years) just is a heavy wetter, especially overnight and into the wee morning hours. Our youngest son was born with a heart defect, and was on a diuretic for a season before his heart was repaired, making his diapers extremely wet!We do not mind bulk in cloth diapers - if it's keeping them dry and rash-free, and it smells good (which these do keep the smell away very well), then we think those little bubble-bums are pretty cute doubled up!

I haven't had a problem with leaking, but mine are still pretty new. I tossed a mason jar with smoothie into the diaper bag. It didn't leak. It was kind of risky, but I was desperate at the moment.

Better fit always leaked for my son. Doubling works, like some of the others suggested, but then you might as well use the regular prefolds. I used premium for a long time until he started regularly leaking/blowing out, then switched to the bigger toddler size and haven't had an issue since. Toddler size is large and can be bulky and affect how pants fit, so you might not want to use them too soon.

The inserts are sewn into them already. No additional inserts are needed, that's the Freetime. There are enough layers you won't need more. I've been using them for about 8 months and have only seen leakage if the inserts are sticking out (around the legs, like a wick). Just be sure to it tuck them in. The diapers are a little big for a newborn, so disposibles are best for a month or two. Love these diapers otherwise. They do take about 24 hours to dry, so if you have about 20 you'll be set.

Been using these for over 3 months (since birth). No leaks - only time it has it's because I didn't get the leg fit right and laid her on her side. That's been fixed since we found the perfect setting. I wash about 10 diapers at a time, plus about 20 washcloths we use as wipes, and the wetbag we use. All on a cold wash/rinse. Once every month or so a hot wash/cold rinse. They work very well if you hang them in the sun - stains bleach out and dry quickly. These also dry very quickly in the dryer.

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.
