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.

Also, if you are looking for only cover I would check out Assunta. Super affordable and good quality although they are from China. As a previous poster said, do not use softeners on diapers. You do NOT have to use cloth diaper safe detergent, tide works best.

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 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

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

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

I love, love, my small set of mama cloth! No way would I go back to disgusting disposables again. Granted, this month is my first cycle with only mama cloth, but so far, its working great. No moodiness, cramps, or irritability like I had with disposables. Which goes to show being picky about what you wash your clothes in goes double for what you use for "that time of the month". Matter of fact, I need more mama cloth but short of cash at the moment. LOL! There is a little bit of shifting, but not much at all. Snug underwear and wearing brief undies cuts a lot of it down.

I image. I use the FLIP and BUMGENIUS brands. These look like tissues, with a different type of material. You just lay them on top of the diaper so they should work with anything.

Check out the cloth baby wipes at GreenMountainDiapers.com I love them. They are Terry on one side and Flannel on the other. We use some for diaper time and others for food clean up.

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 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 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.

Our 2 week old girl tends to pee while we are changing her & the urine ends up running up her back soaking her & her onesie if she's wearing one, so we have additional laundry anyway (or have to put down a towel or some sort of liner) and have to give her another bath. Kinda defeats the purpose of the product - wish it was more of an incline to prevent this from happening. Has anyone else experienced this?

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.

These are a cover for a cloth diaper. If these are all you are wearing probably not. If you are wearing a cloth diaper under these, then yes. But as with all diapers leaks happen. These are just thin vinyl, there are better ones on market that would do a better job at leak protection when used with diapers, but cost much more. Also there are all sorts of cloth diapers, some called all-in-ones(which include a waterproof outer cover).
