How do these perform as actual diapers? I keep reading about how great they are for burp cloths, but that's not helpful for me. Opinions???

I use then on top of a crib liner when my baby cosleeps with me. That way the baby's body isn't on the scratchy surface of the pad. I have never used them as actual diapers.

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!

If you want to use them as "traditional" cloth diapers (lke with pins), probably not. As an insert, probably. My son's about 15 lbs now, we use them as inserts (i.e. folded in thirds w/ diaper cover over them). Sometimes double up to avoid leaks, but hey work great). NOTE: make sure you wash & dry them a few times before using!

That is what I use them in. Just make sure you bring the g diaper as far up to the top of the leg so they don't leak when baby moves. Also, they are a tad bulky depending on how big your baby is. I had to wait til my baby is 16 lbs for the best absorbancy.

They are Happy Flutes. Personally I have a good sized stash and love bumgenius, but all of my favorite diapers are Happy Flutes! Never had a leak, a blowout, or fit issues. And they run bigger than BG so they last longer. The quality of the materials, although many hate to admit it, is just as high as BG

I wash these with my cloth wipes in a mesh bag if they were only peed on (I flush the poop). I let them air dry and I get like 3 uses out of them. Food for thought though: If I can wash these in my washing machine several times and reuse them what are people talking about when they say to let it sit in their toilet bowl for a little bit to let them "break down"? I have a septic system and I was flushing these (for the last year and a half) without thinking about how that might not be a good idea- we're in need of septic work now and I don't know if it is related at all.

Better fit always leaked for my son. Doubling works, like some of the others suggested, but then you might as well use the regular prefolds. I used premium for a long time until he started regularly leaking/blowing out, then switched to the bigger toddler size and haven't had an issue since. Toddler size is large and can be bulky and affect how pants fit, so you might not want to use them too soon.

These are liners, you use regular cloth diapers as the padding to 'do the dirty work,' so these liners are completely reusable without washing them unless they leak. My sister has two, and she says that's plenty. For the absorbent padding, I use the pre-folded 100% cotton cloth diapers, I think they are Osocozy brand. I bought them here. You keep them folded and lay them inside these liners in the area where a disposable has its padding. You'll need a ton of those. One per change until you can get them washed; I picked up two six packs of those to go with these, and my sis says she bought more. But two liners do it for her.

They are thinner then regular cloth baby diapers, but not too thin. Think they would work well.

They would make very nice cloths for dealing with a toddler. I would cut the cloths in half if you plan on throwing it away after short use. The cloths are not impregnated with any thing. They are just nice soft cloths that wring dry. I love them.

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.

These are actually meant for use with cloth diapers. I only have experience with use over underwear for potty training, but I can imagine that with a thicker cloth diaper these would work well.

Is it possible to use new or old towels to make your own? Or perhaps cloth diapers or maybe the microfiber cloths? I am sort of asking for myself as well because I have been so impressed with the "Comments" that I am planning on buying one.

No tags on these (but omg have you seen the taggie blankets that have the twenty or so tags all around...). We have some other cloth diapers we bought online from http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/cloth-diapers.html. Those ones have tags and were way better quality than these OsoCozy ones. But if you are using for burp cloths probably doesn't matter.

I use my daughter's old preemie pocket diapers. We just stuff them with a washcloth. I also found a babydoll simple diaper pattern, made them out of felt from hobby lobby doubled with a patterned felt on the outside and a matching plain color on the inside with half a wash clothe in the middle and made a matching bib. Hot glued on Velcro. All hand sewn with embroidery floss. Took a couple hours. Prefolded cloth diapers cut in half work well if you don't mind the pins

Totally worth the cost. They are way thinner than regular prefolds. I used these at night a lot because they held so much. As for size, it depends on the size of your child. I had toddler sized ones because my child was about 12-18 months when we used them and he peed a LOT.

That is what these were purchased for and my Grandaughter's parents love these diapers, used as burp clothes. No modifications are needed.
