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 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

my baby was 6lbs at birth and is now 10lbs - they have fit great so far. I would classify her as a "skinny" baby. In the beginning we really had to wrap them tightly and angle the tabs a bit because her legs were so skinny. I used them with GMD- Workhorse clotheze fitteds and they worked fabulous - never had any urine leaks only the occasional EBF diaper blowout. But honestly the cloth did better with big poos than disposables. She is just now starting to grow out of them :)

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!

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.

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.

Not sure about cloth diaper, but I rinse them and then keep them soaking in cold water until I run a wash cycle in the machine or hand wash. You can soak in a mild soap and baking soda solution or even spray them with shout or oxi sprays. I keep it simple and wash then hang dry and try to keep flat and unsnapped to extend the life of the snaps. I love these and highly recoment them. They can be warm on hot days but reliability and function are more important to me. I also have bladder leakage issue and wear these daily >365!

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.

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.

I use Pampers sensitive. I did use the huggies at the beginning but I had the same problem. I've been refilling with papers wipes for 8 months now.

We use the Planet Wise liners. I will say that now that we have been using this for just over 2 years, it has been great, but if we wait longer than every other day to do diaper laundry now that our son has more inserts in his diapers, the lid does not close all the way - it's not a big deal to us, because we keep it next to the washing machine in the laundry closet, and we do diaper laundry at least every third day, and usually every other day. Just wanted to let you know. Also, the little hole on the top became pretty useless after our son was out of newborn diapers. http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Wise-Reusable-Diaper-Avocado/dp/B003XSEV2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405605929&sr=8-1&keywords=diaper+pail+liner

These are pretty awesome, btw - one of the best cloth diapering inserts on the market. This product is an insert - you lay in inside a diaper cover like this bumgenious one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072FRFI6?tag=blself-20 . Assuming your child has only wet the diaper, you can just pull out the wet insert and put in a dry one, reusing the cover. This means you only need one cover for ever 3 or 4 changings. When your child goes number 2, the mess will likely spread onto the inside of the cover, and you'll want to wash both. If you are serious about cloth diapering, get a diaper sprayer: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00938R0XA?tag=blself-20 . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

I think there was a good deal of lint in the first 2 wash/dry cycles. I washed and dried them 4 times to prep them. I love them, they're my favorite diaper. I have 18 of these, 12 Econobum, and 18 BumGenius 4.0 pockets.

Absolutely perfect for cloth diapers. Stock up on clothes pins, but should work great. I just retract my lines at least once a week to help with the sagging. But, I will also use all five lines together to dry sweaters flat and other such items which is probably why I have so much sagging. Diapers shouldn't cause any issues like that.

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 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.
