Yeah, it'll work great for night time. I'm also using cotton prefolds and my baby sleeps like an angel :)

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.

Probably not, I think they might be too small. I don't use them for diapers though. I use them for a burp cloth. <3

I do not have Gdiapers, I have the one size kind that you can snap larger or smaller and I will say, these liners wouldn't fit them when they're snapped small. Only when almost to the fullest size. However, you could probably fold them down a bit to make it work as long as it wouldn't cause chaffing or anything from the thickness.

I think they would work great! I am new to cloth diapering and really like these inserts so far. I lay them in all kinds of diapers to add absorption with little bulk, including covers and All In Ones. I usually put them behind another faster absorbing insert to use with my two year old. I have not tried them by themselves with a cover. They would work great combined with a prefold too. I would put them closest to the diaper cover since they absorb more slowly than prefolds.

I used bath towels in there when I do body wraps...but it gets tight FAST! (You do understand, the towels need to be wet or they can catch fire? Sorry, just want to make sure you understand it's a "wet towel warmer".)If you MOSTLY do bath sized towels, there is a XL towel warmer that is a little better for that.)

You need these and a cover. And then you'll need pins or snappis to hold the prefold together. I trifold mine so I don't need pins or snappis, but not all covers allow for that. I don't have any thirsties covers so I don't know if you can just fold them in those.

I love mine. I boiled mine before using them. It is important not to skip this pre use step. You could wash and dry them many times too. Get the bigger red size and skip the purple edge ones. Our baby was out of those pretty fast. One thing I like to do is get a regular prefold and layer one of these folded inside and snappi or pin it all together. It really keeps the poo off the cover. However once the baby is mobile just packing it in a cover and snap your done is best.

Sure...they will just be snapped to a smaller size which will mean a lot more bulk. I did use all in ones on my smaller baby but found I liked the prefolds that fit better until about 6 months. Then I switched to all in ones when they were more mobile. Just depends if you don't mind a lot extra bulk. :)

Nope, just 1. But I keep 1 with a Duo Wrap in my diaper bag - super trim! I prefer their hemp flat folds better though. Almost as thin and Super absorbent!

I haven't used them yet as my son is a bit too small still. I did fold a prefold and stuff it in the pocket part of the diaper to see it it would fit (it did), and by my research they should work if you want to use them instead of the microfiber liners.

They would work for that purpose, but I would have to agree that they are a little too small/move around too much to adequately protect the diaper. We added these just to have a staydry layer between the prefold and our baby. For that purpose, they work great. I just chose a cloth diaper safe cream (Earth Mama baby bottom balm, which I love and highly recommend) so I wouldn't have to worry about it.

No, cloth diapers don't fit well. You could fit the covers unstuffed or just your inserts, but if they're stuffed they don't fit through the slot to pull them out.

You should definitely prep these before use. Because they are unbleached, they retain a little bit more natural oil. You can boil them to prep them or wash them a few times (you don't need to dry between washings), and the absorbency will improve with more washing. You can use a detergent specific to cloth diapers, or any detergent that is free of dyes/scents. We use Country Save.

I just ordered some and am new to cloth diapering... But yes, you must wash the cover and insert when used as a pocket diaper. I plan on ordering Prefolds and bamboo inserts and just putting those on the diaper instead of the insert and using the covers as covers. Hopefully to be able to reuse the cover a few times.

Nope. All Alvas (unless specifically labeled bamboo) come with Microfiber inserts. Seriously consider searching the alvababy site because they are about half the price as on here. I wish I would've done that for my large orders.

From what I've read and heard these are excellent for cloth diapers. I only have 1 friend who has used them for this purpose. She loves it. Hope this helps

I use them for my toddler, she's not 22lbs yet but she's very active. They are thinner then other cloth diaper prefolds but I just double them up and they work really well with a diaper cover, even the pocket ones if you run out of soakers. Over night I will wrap one of my soakers in a prefold for extra absorbency then tuck it inside the pocket. They will shrink a little in the dryer, I learned that one myself... I don't mind it and it's not impacted their function at all... I found out from my Great Aunt that normally you line dry these though, so keep that in mind. If your wanting something that is more easy to use try looking for a 2 in 1 Diaper Cover with Microfiber Soaker Inserts. I purchased a bunch of those for our child and they are time savers and work very well. The prefolds can even be used into the Pockets of the Diaper Covers if you loose your inserts.
