Can these diapers be used to avoid letting water in?

I use cloth diapers (which are very eco friendly) and they fit into each brand I have. I am sure they will fit into a disposable diaper as well to give extra absorption but I'm sure they are meant for cloth.

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 don't think they are, but you could always switch to using a diaper pail reusable liner, like from planetwise.

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. They are an elastic cotton, which will absorb the water. Similar to a sweat band.

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 don't think it would work very well. They fit pretty snug. Also I'm not sure going a size bigger would work as there may be gaps around the legs, if your concern is to hide the diaper.

I don't know about a diaper -- I bought them for my dog who is not house-trained & we bought very very large ones, which he uses consistently while we try to train him.

Yes. There is no "waterproof" side which is what I don't like about them. When you leak, it goes right through. I am unable to use these.

Hi Kaleena. You can and i recommend you to use liner with these cloth diapers. I don't understand the second part of your question but if you are asking how to best maintain the diaper, i would recommend you to wash them with dishwasher detergent because conventional soap can block it's absorbing power.

No, they are a knit material and water will penetrate. You shouldn't have wet hands, either.

Not in my experience. The diaper material is highly absorbent like baby diapers and it absorbs and turns gel-like and does not leak.

No. They are designed to keep water out below top level of boots. The strap at the top will tighten to keep boots snug, not water tight.

the water easily gets in the top. I don't think they are meant to stop water from getting in - only to protect your feet from chafing and getting cut on rocky beaches.

I use them for one size pocket diapers, but have never tried them specifically with one size thirsties.

Yes. The reason is that mainstream detergents have softeners brighteners, and dyes. The softeners coat te diapers and inserts making them "water proof" and they will not abdorb. The brighteners stick the diapers and cause skin irritation as well as the dyes. Stick with cloth diaper friendly detergent!

No. It will seep out the side. You need a diaper cover for each insert. And you'll likely need 2 inserts to keep the cover from getting super wet.
