Are these very bulky when pad-folded? Right now, I'm using 4x6 diapers, which are very trim, but I need more and these are cheaper.

These are not really bulky. Not the thinest ones but not too bulky. I would say go for it :) Although I would recommend more these ones http://www.amazon.com/OsoCozy-Pack-Birdseye-Unbleached-Diapers/dp/B004GTLRY4/ref=sr_1_4?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1424973111&sr=1-4 The best from all different ones me and my husband tried. Really great.

I have only put one diaper in each bag. I only use them when we are away from home. I have the A&H; diaper pail at home.

BEWARE: Costco Pads fit EXACT LENGTH - if you have puppy dragging/eating/playing with pads you'd better have that blue edge under the arm b4 lock down or USE TWO PADS!! WIDTH excess of Pads will be folded under approx 5".

These fit in the one size reuasable diapers from charlie banana. They look bulky but they work. My baby is at medium size in the one size and it works just fine in my opinion. But i put them im at night. When i will expand to large i think it will not look as bulky. As for liners i am not too crazy for the charlie banana they are so thin and flimzy everythint leaks out. I really like the GroVia 3728 Bioliners. They are thicker and way bigger. you can find them on amazon

These are intended for newborn and up. Our son was so small (born under 7 pounds) and we didn't start using them until 6 weeks old. Honesty, all the diapers we had were intended for newborn and up (one size fits all) but with all the folding over, the diapers were all too bulky. He looked ridiculous. I understood later why some people buy the infant ones for the beginning or just use disposable for the a few weeks.

If you want to use them as "traditional" cloth diapers (lke with pins), probably not. As an insert, probably. My son's about 15 lbs now, we use them as inserts (i.e. folded in thirds w/ diaper cover over them). Sometimes double up to avoid leaks, but hey work great). NOTE: make sure you wash & dry them a few times before using!

These absorb well for us. There the only prefolds I've ever tried. I also boiled for about 40 min and they quilted up nice and thick and shrunk significantly. They lay perfect in a cover I don't imagine I'd be able to wrap around my baby and snappi them. This might sound dumb but I didn't realize before I bought them, these stay very wet on babies bottom. Definitely use with fleece liners or it's like a wet rag on their bum every time you change them :\

I think they are worth the cost. I have never used Bummis or Bumpkins but these are much trimmer than Econobum prefolds. As for size, it really depends on how big you little one is. We are still using the small on our 7 month old but the medium works as well. With our daughter, who potty trained at 23 months, we never used bigger than the medium.

They are really not wide enough to use as liners. I use bumpkins liners that I buy from amazon. I've tried a few different kinds and they are the softest and actually have a little bit of stretch to them. I bought these fleece liners to use under his disposable liners for when using diaper ointment. After buying these I found them to be overpriced for just being thin fleece and there is no sewing or edging to them. I then bought some thin fleece from Walmart and cut several out myself. And could make them the size I wanted. I got a LOT MORE for my money and no sewing! They hold up great as I have washed them at least 50 times by now and they do not fray! Hope this helps!

Sallie, yes roll them up into a ball and drop them in. I wear XL and can get 14 diapers into one bag so I know when I finish a bag of diapers it is also time to change my bag in the pal. I know they say they can hold up to 25 diapers which I am sure they can depending on the size of the diapers. They are based on children sized diapers I'm sure. But by rolling the depends into a tight ball you can get a full pack inside. I have IC/Incontenence so I go through a diaper bag in 2 days-3 days, on bad days sometimes 1 bag a day. I love the locking/sealing/odor fighting mechanism that this diaper pal has so it does lock in the odor. On a good week I did go 4 days without having any smelly odors in restroom. I love it. I replaced it with another brand and will stick to this one again if I ever have to replace the pal again. I just reordered the 30 count bags as I am so pleased with them. They are also easy to take along with you in your travel diaper bag and no on knows you have been carrying diapers around with you if you have accidents where you can't leave diapers (like restaurants). I just go home and place the bag in the pal and use that as my next bag and sit it in the bottom of th4 pal until I'm ready to lock into the 4 slots. My own tip of the day making incontinence easier to live with.

Regular diapers fit fine in the bag when they're stacked but cloth diapers would be too bulky, especially if you had stuff in the inside pockets so I don't think it would be big enough for cloth diaper mamas.

Even though the product says slim it's still a bit bulky in your diaper bag. That being said, it does fit in far better than other more bulky ones do. I often find myself carrying it into places seperately however.

I assume the reason for this is to provide extra protection. You can create a fold where it's needed for boy or girl BUT I agree. I think it's a pain. These were my least favorite diaper but with and extra stuffing did well for night time. I like grovia but hate they are made in China so alas I resorted to sewing my own. If you can handle it there are some cool wool covers out there you can lay a prefold in them. Those were the best of all.

I don't have personal experience with the Abri-Form M4's to know for sure, but I was able to wear this pad inside a normal sized pair of Ladies' full brief underwear. That said, you would be putting a pad inside another padded diaper which might be a lot of padding between the legs. I have a medium-sized frame and build and am not overweight. I may have a spare pad that I would mail to you for the price of postage - definitely less than $3. If you are interested, post again. I do sell on ebay and could post a listing for this if I still have one from the open package, which I think I do. Fortunately, I no longer need the product.

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 would agree with trying different brands as every baby is different. But these and grovia shells with soaker pads are my favourite. My baby is quite slim around the hips and thighs so these are the slimest fits out there. In the first few months you can go through a lot of nappies every day. I reckon if you can get 2 uses out of each shell with changing the inserts, you should look at a least 16 shells and 32 inserts to start. The mistake I made with cloth diapering is that I bought a lot of brands on recommendations but unfortunately some did not suit my baby. Take it easy and build your stash slowly over a few months.

My son was about 8lbs when we started using these and I didn't need to fold down the front. I did however, fold them down for the fist few weeks (until his umbilical cord healed). Now that he is 17 lbs I use them with the next size up at night (heavy wetter).
