Do you need a diaper cover to put over these?

No the snappy cover is the diaper cover. These are pocket diapers; I recommend watching some YouTube vids on pocket diapers to understand how they work.

Yes, but they are on the small side for me. I love and highly recommend GroVia's liners if that is your need. These are better for adding a staydry layer between the diaper fabric and your baby's bum.

Yes and I only know because I've forgot to take it off when I let my dog outside. Some poop gets on the diaper and some was inside it. Not fun. FYI--These diapers must be used with a pad of some kind inside as they are not waterproof.

any kind of insert/cloth diaper will work with this cover. Thirsties has their own inserts you can buy, but I just bought a couple packs of unbleached cloth diapers (the original cloth diapers our mothers used) that I use with these covers. Once the cloth diaper is wet, you can change out for a new one, but use the same cover and just wipe out until it is dirty (from, say, a poo explosion). These covers are just an upgraded version of old plastic covers that were the only thing available 30 yrs ago to go over the cloth. I hope that clears it up!

Yes. You put the diaper insert into the diaper and remove them before each wash. I personally love pocket diapers, but if you're looking for on that just sits inside the cover, I'd look into Bumgenius Flips.

Are you just trying to make the disposable diapers "cute"??? Because that seems like a wast of money to me. You can get outfits that come with covers. I'm not sure why you would want to use it over a disposable. It works great with prefolds and cloth inserts though! I have two and they've been GREAT!

Nope, there is a net cover for the front as well as a plastic cover. You can use either so they are very well protected inside. We love this and so does our 18mo old.

It will protect your bedding from leaks caused by the diaper leaking but by no means a replacement for a diaper if that is your question. They are well made and will withstand many washings.

No, these are absorbent enough on their own. You should not need to add an additional pad. If you add a pad that is waterproof on the bottom (as most stick on pads are) you will prevent the fluid from reaching the diaper. So if you must add an extra pad, make sure it is the type that is not plastic-lined on the bottom.

I tried that at first but found it was unnecessary. I just fold the cloth to fit the cover and snap the cover over it. I paired with the thirsties snap cover and have been diapering this way for 18mo.

No they dont come with covers. Get set of decksavers for them. They are better than the cloth covers.

They're not huge, but they fit ok - they do cover the entire width and length but don't hang over as it shows in the image. However, I use them under a potty ring so my LO is doubly protected. Public bathrooms are gross!

They could be placed inside a prefold if extra absorbency is needed. You can place these in pocket diapers, layer on an All-in-one diaper, or even lay these inside a diaper cover (like a bum genius brand Flip diaper.) these are versatile and can be placed directly against babies skin if desired.

I use the thirsties covers. I lay the cotton diaper on the cover then fold it to fit and snap the cover closed. Easy as that!

Hello. Alva pocket diapers can be used as a cover over a diaper but must be washed after each use as the lining will get wet and soiled. They are mainly used as pocket diapers. The have a pocket in the middle for stuffing with absorbent material such as cotton, microfiber, hemp or bamboo.

I do not have covers for them. But other than that I really love them. They stack well too! I also ordered the bowls and feel that they fit my needs perfectly! Nice size for our toddler.

Yes, you need liners for this diaper. It's less expensive to use sanitary napkins for liners. This is a great product that solves a major clean up problem.
