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 don't cloth diaper, but there seems to be plenty of room left over the disposables. My daughter is 3, in size 6 diapers and i think we use medium or large. I would say maybe try bigger size if not sure. They are a little thin...i have poked a hole in them as i was trying to put them on her. Put they work well for overnight protection.

That was my husband's problem. Leaked when slept on side. If slept on back ok. My husband rarely does in diaper so the few times he went in these they leaked.

I image. I use the FLIP and BUMGENIUS brands. These look like tissues, with a different type of material. You just lay them on top of the diaper so they should work with anything.

I use two soakers under the material that is in the diaper. My son is now 18months and we use these for bed time, they make it most nights with out leaking! Would buy again in a heart beat! Only down fall is that they do tend to hold the urine smell and need to have an extra rinse or a vinegar boost every 3-4 washes.

I would recommend trying different kinds of diapers until you find what works best for your baby. But I will admit, this is one of my favorites!! I much prefer the snaps to the Velcro, because they are softer and more flexible. I use these covers with bamboo and charcoal bamboo inserts. I wash every other day. I think at least 20 covers and 40 inserts is a pretty good number to get started, but I'm sure you will have so much fun finding different diapers, styles and prints you will get many more!!

Just wash and dry like anything. We wash in hot or warm with our cloth diapers and dry also with the cloth diapers on hot in the dryer. So, yeah, don't bother to treat them special. These things have been SUCH a lifesaver to prevent leaking. We've had them more than 2 years and they are good as when we first bought them. First used them with Bum Genius and now with FuzziBunz which we prefer (got both handed down which may be why we had leak problems in the first place). We place them on top of the stuffed diaper, not in the pocket, as they help with absorption.

I use with cloth diapers, but as a dirty diaper pail with a wet bag liner (Planetwise). It would leak out the bottom if you filled it with water.

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!

I used cloth diapers from babies are us. But older babies produce more urine so you will have to get used to changing them as soon as they wet themselves.

I have never used destin specifically, but I have used a couple other creams that weren't deemed "cloth diaper" safe, and haven't had a problem yet. In my opinion these are the best liners and I've tried a few different kinds.

I'm not sure, but these diapers leak terribly bad no matter how you put them on. I would definitely invest in the more expensive ones because I was super disappointed!

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.

The inserts are sewn into them already. No additional inserts are needed, that's the Freetime. There are enough layers you won't need more. I've been using them for about 8 months and have only seen leakage if the inserts are sticking out (around the legs, like a wick). Just be sure to it tuck them in. The diapers are a little big for a newborn, so disposibles are best for a month or two. Love these diapers otherwise. They do take about 24 hours to dry, so if you have about 20 you'll be set.

I only ran the wash cycle twice and then put them in the dryer. I use a sensitive Tide, there are several to choose from. I didn't use cloth diapers for my first two, but my second two had allergies to disposable diapers and certain soaps. If your little one has a soap allergy I recommend goat's milk soaps and detergents. I love these diaper inserts. They are gentle on baby's skin and very absorbent.
