ALVABABY Baby Cloth Diapers One Size Adjustable Washable Reusable for Baby Girls and Boys 6 Pack with 12 Inserts 6DM18

Cloth diapering is something I've never done before. I have a 19-month-old and a 3-month-old that I recently stocked up on to make the switch, and after a week of strictly cloth diapering, I'm finding that I don't mind the extra work and am happy with my purchases. My only complaint is that cloth diapers, even with only one insert, are SO BULKY that none of my children's clothes fit them properly any longer, and to be honest, if I do manage to squeeze them into something, it looks terrible! It gives the impression that they're wearing baggy clothes with a lot of pampers on. This is having a significant impact on my decision, and I'm disappointed in myself for the time and effort I've already invested. Leaks haven't been a problem as long as you keep up with changes, which you should do anyway. I bought 5 layer charcoal bamboo inserts to replace the ones that came with the set, and I ordered 4 packs of Alva baby pocket diapers separately. Because it's so bad looking, it almost makes me want to only clothe at home when my kids are allowed to be pantless. This defeated my goal of saving money and being environmentally friendly, unless I'm supposed to now only buy clothes in extremely large sizes to fit over them, but then the issue of the cloth diapers looking "full" and extremely bulky, as well as the fact that both of their entire wordeobes are no longer functional, remains. I'm not sure why there aren't more people speaking up about this or similar situations. I'm very interested in hearing from other mothers about their perspectives or "hacks. " "As for the product itself, I haven't had any stains, the gussets haven't caused me any drying issues like others have, and they are simple to clean and deal with. " The product itself is excellent and fulfills its purpose well if you don't mind the bulk, as I previously stated.

They are impervious to water. They're incredibly simple to operate and maintain. They're neat and tidy. They are a fantastic value!! (Sets of six can be found for as little as $30! That works out to about $5 per diaper! I bought two of them! ) I'm overjoyed. We've tried a lot of diapers, and this one is the best. Mama koalas (pocket), bumworks (pocket), bumgenus (pocket), and thirsties (Aio) are by far the most popular! We've started using prefolds and covers only at night (due to a lack of Alvas to get us through the day and night), but I just bought a few more Alvas! I don't think I'll use anything else in the future! br>br>I've included a photo of them wearing a onesie to demonstrate how trim they are!.

It's been about a month since we started using cloth. They fit perfectly on my baby, who has thick thighs and a narrow waist. Baby can have a custom fit with the rise snaps, as well as the waist and hip snaps. We had a few leaks at first, but that was due to user error, such as my failure to properly place the insert or the diaper being too loose. We place a Naturally Nature bamboo insert on top of the diaper at night to wear against her skin and provide extra absorption. Normally, the rise straps are used on the first row, but when I add the extra insert to compensate for the bulk, I leave them unbuttoned. You can't beat the price for six Alva diapers and twelve inserts, and they're easy to wash and dry. Let's not forget about those sweet prints, shall we? br>My daughter is a year old, and we've been using Honest brand diapers for her entire life; while they're great, we're trying to save money wherever we can. QqqOverall, cloth will save us money every month, and best of all, when we potty train, we will be able to donate them to another family in need.
EDIT: So now that I've been cloth diapering for about 6 months, I've learned a lot. I still have a few Alva's, but Mama Koala's fit is superior in every way for us. Two instead of three snaps at the waist is less restrictive, and it even appears to be more comfortable. I used to have to loosen the rise snaps with Alva in order to add the nighttime inserts, but now I know that's a step that's unnecessary with a diaper that's been fitted properly and with the correct inserts. Mama Koala fits my daughter better than Alva because she is petite. Even now, at 18 months, I've only recently been able to move one snap away from the tightest waist snap on the few Alva's I still have, as they appear to run large. Mama Koalas fit much more snugly around my girl's thighs because she has chunky little thighs. Despite the fact that she is older and wets a lot more, we no longer have leaks. We had compression leaks when she started to wet more. So I tried the Alva bamboo/microfiber, but they were just as good as regular microfiber. After that, I discovered Nora's Nursery bamboo/microfiber inserts, which were a world apart from Alva's. br>In general, the Alva brand is fine; however, now that I've learned more and tried other brands, it's clear that it wasn't the best choice for us. Mama Koala is simply better for us, and while slightly more expensive (a pack of six is typically $39), it is also better for the environment. Instead of $29, you can get it for 99 cents. Alva's can be found for much less on FB resale pages. ) Keep in mind that each baby is unique, and these are a cost-effective option that may be ideal for your child. br>However, I'm deducting two stars because my experience has changed.
