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.

These are pretty awesome, btw - one of the best cloth diapering inserts on the market. This product is an insert - you lay in inside a diaper cover like this bumgenious one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072FRFI6?tag=blself-20 . Assuming your child has only wet the diaper, you can just pull out the wet insert and put in a dry one, reusing the cover. This means you only need one cover for ever 3 or 4 changings. When your child goes number 2, the mess will likely spread onto the inside of the cover, and you'll want to wash both. If you are serious about cloth diapering, get a diaper sprayer: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00938R0XA?tag=blself-20 . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

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 use them with Sun Baby, BumGenius, Alva, Kawaii. Pocket diapers are what I mostly use, and the liners work with all of those.

I would agree with trying different brands as every baby is different. But these and grovia shells with soaker pads are my favourite. My baby is quite slim around the hips and thighs so these are the slimest fits out there. In the first few months you can go through a lot of nappies every day. I reckon if you can get 2 uses out of each shell with changing the inserts, you should look at a least 16 shells and 32 inserts to start. The mistake I made with cloth diapering is that I bought a lot of brands on recommendations but unfortunately some did not suit my baby. Take it easy and build your stash slowly over a few months.

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.

No. That's the beauty of diapers like these. They have a built in waterproof lining. Just remember to take the insert out when washing or it won't get clean and won't dry. Only issues I've had w these (and they are by far my favorite!) is that if your baby pees a lot (bigger babies and overnight) it can leak....but so do ALL the other brands out there, so stuff extra inserts in. Good luck!

Can we use fuzzybunz along with (over) disposable diapers for double protection ?especially when we go out etc . I have heard moms complaining about the leakage when using disposable diapers .

I use this with cloth and i use the actual ubbi diaper liner and have not had an issues i love it!

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!

Your not suppose to use sheets, I read it is dangerous. As for wetting ummm diapers?

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.

I use Pampers sensitive. I did use the huggies at the beginning but I had the same problem. I've been refilling with papers wipes for 8 months now.

I've heard it works extremely well with cloth diapers. A friend used liners just the same. I can't speak of it myself.

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 use these with the Thirsties covers and nothing else. No snappies or liners are necessary unless you want to use them. There are lots of YouTube videos with some great info and tips for explaining all the different types of cloth diapers. These diapers, along with the Thirsties covers (which last for years!) are by far the cheapest option for cloth diapering, and the least complicated in my opinion.

I used them on my girl until 2 (when we potty trained) and they were still plenty big. I didn't attach them to my girl, though, I used a pad fold in a flip or thirsties cover. (If you are looking for more info on flats in general, check Dirty Diaper Laundry, my fav. cloth info site)
