Love the idea of better fit. Am I compromising on absorbency compared to regular prefolds? &amp; Premium vs toddler? Moving to Africa need to pack light!

These seem very absorbant but I haven't used the regular prefolds so I couldn't answer...

Its a much tighter fit. The "betterfit" feature is shorter meaning once trifolded it should fot the exact lenght of the cover. With that being said it doesn't have that extra allowance to work with to fold around the baby at the top. So if you want to snappi it buy a size larger or so with the standard or premium not the better fit option

I would go with the medium. Once these are fully prepped they are really absorbent and can be used for many combinations in overnights or pockets. The length of the mediums worked all the way to potty training for me.

It's just like the Econobum or Flip covers - you can use either a prefold or an insert inside of it. We found that the Thirsties covers were really great for when our baby was very small, because they have extra coverage around the leg holes. But, he's already grown out of them (by 7 months).

I love them! I have flip diapers also, and I love that I can throw away most I the poop, and toss the diaper cover and pad directly into the laundry! I'm not afraid of poop either haha but it gets everywhere and it can be a real pain to clean! My suggestion would be to try a box, see if you find it's worth it! Good luck!

Prevail is the most absorbent brand that I've tried. Although it costs more, I think it's worth it. Plus they are not individually wrapped which is a hassle.

Yes, we use a ozocozy prefold in ours. It's very easy and personally way better than an AIO because if your cover doesn't get soiled you can put a new prefold in there and you should be good to go.

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

I would refer to the Thirsties website for specific info, but you could always try laying the insert inside of the cover and see how it works. I use my cover with fitted diapers and prefolds with a snappi. The covers do a really good job of holding moisture inside.

some dont like the contoured inserts on their girls cause there is less absorbent space where they need it. I've only seen jersey hemp in the contoured and these inserts are hemp fleece. These are thinner as well excellent to just lay in over a prefold in a hybrid or simple shell.

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.

In my experience I have only used them in cloth. They are very absorbent and work better under a prefold or added to a pocket diaper. I really can't speak to how it would work in a disposable, but I supposed you could just be careful not to dispose of it with the diaper when you're done.

We have been but I just decided to get some of the "t shirt knit" queen size sheets. The top part of the mattress is very deep and I just thought the stretchiness of this style would "stay put" a little better & the little roomier size would just beneficial. The previous answerer is correct in the deep pockets work too, and the idea of tucking in the top sheet is great. By the way - Love this air mattress! We use it every time we travel to see our grandchildren!!!

I'd recommend a minimum of 12 - if you do Landry everyday. I have the Thirsties prefolds as well and absolutely love them. I'm still using the small size on my petite 18 month old. I had 1 of each and just liked them so much better than these. Better investment and useful longer, as well as more versatile. But maybe get a few of each and see which you like best. You can always add more of what you like to your stash and with a newborn, you almost can't have too many inserts. Definitely hemp is the way to go. Much more absorbent than other fabrics and most are blended with cotton so there is no need to top it for improved absorption. I'd recommend a minimum of 12 - if you do Landry everyday.

I would add,if you sew two together you have a much better towel for use. They do absorb well,not almost repel water like some of the new fancy ones. I would think the company might consider offering in two sizes .

I have the same doubt, but it is gone after my first night out! It felt like sleeping home! I believe they do their research well. Mat be you can go for the XL option which is longer and wider with more poles for support. Using less pole is an option if you think the support is enough! The ultra lite is great as well, much lighter fabric but it is like a piece of plastic on your back, less ventilation!

I used these in the newborn napper part of my pack and play when my son was first born. I had to fold a section but it worked well. I definitely agree with the others, these do tend to shrink. I currently use these on my changing table. If you are looking for a perfect fit, you may want to check out what products are made to fit your bassinet.
