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.

What a neat use for the fabric sheets! We really didn't know, so we applied two tests. First we spit on it, imitating a baby as best we could. It didn't run. We then held it under running water for a minute or so and rubbed it vigorously. Again, it didn't run. However, the label we tested was printed a couple weeks ago, so the inkjet ink had plenty of time to dry. We think you'd be safe in printing the baby books -- good luck!

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!

Not 100% sure why, your having issues. Is it the liners leaking for the outer diaper cover? I'm taking a guess & thinking possible a few reasons. 1- Not washed according to MFG directions. Maybe to much detergent has built up & is now preventing the liners from doing their job? 2- Also, I don't put the liners or the covers in dryer. Mine air dry. 3- I have about 4 days worth of diaper liners & covers. So mine are not used daily.They are rotated. If you have been using the same 2 dozen for the last 10 months, Maybe it's just wearing out. 4- I don't need or use any type of diaper cream, If you do, perhaps that is building up. As my daughter got older, I too found it necessary to use 2 lines, during naps. Post here if you found out why this is happening. Now I'm curious

I have to agree with the other ladies. They are thicker than disposable diapers, and can make some clothes a little snug. I however don't think that it is a problem. The fact that they are really good diapers more than makes up for that.

There are complaints about every type of diaper out there, disposables included. Most of it is a matter of personal preference. They are more bulky than some disposables but they are way more absorbent and much better for sensitive tushies. The bumGenius freetimes are especially great at containing messes. They are by far my favorite diaper I've tried (and I've tried a LOT). About half of my stash is freetimes.

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!

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!

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

I didn't have that problem at all, these are denim and denim tends to stretch back out. If you're concerned, wash and hang dry... these really are the best of the best product for our male incontinent babies.

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.

Are you just trying to make the disposable diapers "cute"??? Because that seems like a wast of money to me. You can get outfits that come with covers. I'm not sure why you would want to use it over a disposable. It works great with prefolds and cloth inserts though! I have two and they've been GREAT!

We use CB one size and I ordered extra med/lrg inserts. They are good as doublers for night. I actually use them w our Bumgenious 4.0s as doublers. CBs tend to leak at the legs when doubling for night. I do use the osMed inserts along w a osSm insert for normal use now that my son is 24lbs. That is working great for us w minimal leaks. CB is a good diaper but Bumgeniuos 4.0 is a fabulous all around diaper day and night.

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 bought a case with 128 diapers and used about half. I just gave the rest to the new mom after the shower. One thing though, try to get some that don't have pictures on them. The ones I got had Mickey Mouse & Pluto on them so I had to hide the pictures as much as I could. Either way, it will turn out really cute.

The link below is to a sheet that fits pretty well. It's not perfect because the sheet is for a rectangular bassinet but this bassinet pad is a little rounded. I think it works great. I use a waterproof pad between the bassinet pad and the sheet. My little guy goes a lot and we have had a lot of leaks trying to find a diaper that works. The bassinet pad is washable, which is nice.
