Thirsties Duo All in One Cloth Diaper, Honeydew, Size One (6-18 lbs)

I'm relatively new to cloth diapering...my little guy is 6 mos and I decided to try it out. I bought a few different brands after doing a lot of review reading. I wanted AIO's for sure, no diaper stuffing for me. And I've tried ones like Flip with someone else's kid and hated them. Anyway...between swaddlebees (which after seeing it I returned it without even trying it), Bummis Tots Bots (which won second place with me), and Bum Genius Freetime, I liked Thirsties the best. They fit great, are soft inside and you don't have to mess with trying to get the liners in the right spot (like with the BG). I also like the Tots Bots, I just take forever to tuck the long liner inside and smooth it out, otherwise that one washes and wears great as well. I don't have issues with the velcro (I am not a fan of snaps), the laundry tabs work just fine. I always line dry my diapers. Turn these Thirsties inside out when you hang them, they'll dry faster. I wash a load at night and they're dry by morning. I also have one MotherEase diaper for nights, so far that works great too, absorbs a lot! I've never put extra liners in any of my diapers yet. I don't have issues with them leaking. My son would leak everyday (messy diapers) with disposables, haven't had issues with any of the cloth ones. Yay! Out of my small stash of 10 diapers, 5 are Thirsties. :)**update, now that my son is almost 8 mos, I still am glad we switched to cloth diapers and I'm loving the Thirsties AIO! I had to use disposables a few days ago because I was saving our cloth diapers for our out of town trip and of course my son had a messy diaper. It leaked horribly (and we buy top of the line Huggies diapers, not the cheap ones) and I realized then that since going cloth, I haven't had issues with leakages all over his clothes, I haven't had to deal with stains. It's been great. That said, the Bum Genius and MotherEase diapers have done just as well as the Thirsties in the leaking dept. However, we have had a few overnight wet leaks, my son thinks he still needs to wake up several times a night to nurse so unless I change him in the middle of the night (which he hates and screams the whole time) there are mornings his PJs are wet. Maybe getting a liner for overnights would be a good idea. He does wake up in the mornings with messy diapers sometimes and those do not leak, just the wetness.

I used this as my nighttime diaper for a while, stuffed with another insert. I LOVE the design of the diaper with the "tunnel" thing. It's simple to use, easy to put another insert in it, fits great on my little baby, and looks cute. However, it does take forever to dry, and the aplix isn't the best, as it frays after a month or so of washing regardless of using the laundry tabs.Overall its amazing, and I'd buy a whole stash of these if it was more economical to do so. Having to buy two sizes at $16 a piece is more than I'd like to spend.

When I received this in the mail I opened it with wonder as I felt how soft and cushy this diaper was! It seems like the most comfortable diaper ever! I couldn't wait for my son to try it. This diaper has some very distinct pros and cons.Pros:-Comfort. super, super soft and plush.-Stay dry material. The material that touches baby's skin is wicking and almost never feels wet!-stretch. The leg elastic and the waist band have extraordinary stretch which will allow you find a good fit for any body type.-rise snaps. Three sets of rise snaps means this diaper will grow with your child and fit many body types beautifully.Cons:-Hook and Loop Closures. the velcro closure is not very good. after a few washes it started to deteriorate; the sticking power is much less than when it was new and the tabs curl back on themselves. If you fasten them too high on the waistband it causes the band to fold under and the velcro rubs on baby's tummy leaving red marks. I try to fasten it as low on the waistband as I can to keep that from happening.-Slow drying. I have to turn the diaper inside out for the drying cycle in order to get it to dry in 60 minutes on medium heat. it some times takes longer.-doublers don't fit well. This diapers is already so plush that adding a doubler is nearly impossible. This makes it a NO FOR NIGHTTIME.-absorbency. As soft and plush as this diaper is, it's not nearly as absorbent as the others in my stash! Two hours...maybe three. That's all you can expect from this diaper.Overall, thirsties is an attractive looking diaper with GREAT FIT and very comfortable for baby. Don't expect it to be a night time, or even nap time diaper, and be prepared to replace the velcro if you want to use this for more than a year.

I purchased several of these diapers in various colors. My baby is at the low end of the weight range for size 2 (18 lbs). The inside of the diaper feels like the inside of a new sweatshirt-so soft! The patterns are very cute, and the solid colors are ok (don't likethe pink-too neon by itself). I bought velcro, and they hold up nicely in my front-loading washer. I hang them to dry in the sun, and the stains are out in no time. Haven't had a blowout in them yet, and there is a pocket for a night time doubler. They are quite large, so I am hoping they will make it to potty training for my big girl (she is only 6 months, but at 95th percentile for height/weight).

I have cloth diapered two kids now and have tried just about every major brand. As far as I am concerned, this is the perfect diaper for us. Very soft for baby. The fleece does not pull on dry skin at all as some others do. The leg gussets are just tight enough...no red marks and no leaks. Easy to use. Dries fast. Love it and buying more.

I wish I could rate these higher. For the 2 months they fit my daughter, they were okay. No leaks. But after 5 uses the Velcro started to lose strength, they NEVER dry as quickly as bumgenius or softbums, and they only fit her properly until 13 pounds. She is now 18 pounds and 29 inches and they BARELY fit. They are way too short in the rise, and the Velcro gives up in about 30 minutes. I keep it as an emergency backup, but never use it. For this price I would get another brand that lasts through sizes.
