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 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.

Check out the cloth baby wipes at GreenMountainDiapers.com I love them. They are Terry on one side and Flannel on the other. We use some for diaper time and others for food clean up.

I use Rumparooz and Therties Covers. My favorites are the Therties because they are thinner and softer. Rumpareoz look better quality and looks they are going to las t for ever but they are bit smaller and thicker in the elastic leaving some red marks, nothing bad nor painfull. It doesn't seem to bother my baby though he looks more comfy in Therties and they look they are going to fit longer. I don't have leaks in earher one. If it's heavy wetter you can use a Thertie doubler on top and it also gives a stay dry feeling.

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.

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 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)

Our 2 week old girl tends to pee while we are changing her & the urine ends up running up her back soaking her & her onesie if she's wearing one, so we have additional laundry anyway (or have to put down a towel or some sort of liner) and have to give her another bath. Kinda defeats the purpose of the product - wish it was more of an incline to prevent this from happening. Has anyone else experienced this?

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!!

I got the two of the chocolate brown color so I had a spare while I was washing a load of cloths. I wash & dry it with my cloth diapers and have never had any issues with the color bleeding. It is the same Gortex type liner as the diapers and I haven't experienced any other problems like it compromising the absorbancy, etc of my cloth diapers. It says you can dry it in the dryer but personally I found it works better when you hang dry.

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 just wash them with my cloth diapers. I use Rockin' Green detergent. I will say that I used them as a barrier to protect the diapers from diaper cream and over time the liners became water repellant. I stripped them but it didn't help. Now when we need to use heavy duty, (not cloth diaper safe) cream I use flushable liners. I still use the reusable ones otherwise though.

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.

follow up....I change both the inserts & the outer cover at each diaper change. Just seems like a better idea, when just changing the inserts. FYI: with these inserts, if you stay on top of it, and change as needed, no diaper rash. That's the big plus with cloth diapers.

Yes, quite well! With cotton pre-folds, I sometimes find that my son's skin is wet when I change his diaper. These leave his skin feeling as dry as it would be in a disposable!

I have had the exact same problem with baby wipes. I have had these for months, and have had no problems.
