Diaper Review Time

I've got 5 different dipes to review, some I've already made mention of and have kind of reviewed them; but, I'll go into more detail now. In no certain order

1) The ones I've made- pocket Velcro (not my conversion diapers)
Price- around $1.80 per diaper
Flannel Outer
Flannel Lining
Birdseye Inner-sewn in pocket (had already)
I like them and think they are cute. They are not waterproof so you need a cover. I wouldn't put them on the girls for going in public or night time wear... I haven't tried a wool cover with them yet so the night time view may change.

2) Blissful Booty AIO-Velcro
Price-$7.83 per diaper
PUL Outer
Microfleece Lining
Inner- Microfiber Terrycloth in 3 layers
One of the diapers didn't have elastic in the gusset so they sent me another one size Large free of charge.

I bought X-Large, they fit the girls (@ 32 lbs) fine but the Large fits better. The X-Large does fit my son well- he's 50 pounds. I like these for church with the girls (the Velcro-hook n loop- is easier for their nursery class)and for use at night with my son. I know he had prefer something that resembles a pull-up or underwear. So, I may still look for something else for him to wear at night. They are bulky; therefore, do not fit well under jeans, but fit great under skirts and dresses. They also take a long time to dry.

3) Green & Comfy AIO-snap
price-$6.00 per diaper
PUL outer
Suede Cloth Lining
Micro Terry Inner
These dry fast and if changed in a timely manner do not leak. The snaps are reinforced. This diaper does it's job.

4) Green & Comfy One Size pocket-snap
price-$6.00 per diaper
PUL outer
Suede Cloth Lining
Dry really fast, not a bad diaper just needs an insert and you're good to go. The snaps are reinforced and the diaper seems well made.

5) KaWaii One Size Pocket- snap
price-$6.30 per diaper
TPU outer
Suede Cloth Lining
I'm unsure as to the quality of this diaper. The snaps are reinforced with material that started fraying after two washes and the snaps on the rise are not reinforced at all. The diaper is really small although they claim to fit One Size from 8-36 pounds. My girls at thirty-two pounds are on the last snaps, I really don't see them fitting up to 36 pounds. Hopefully my girls will be potty trained by then, they are really close.

With that being said, as of right now these are my "go to" diapers. Daytime, in public, and at night. I really like them, they come with 2 inserts each made of 3 layers of Microfiber. (I haven't had them long enough to say whether or not the Microfiber holds smell.) No Leaking. The dipes are really trim and fit well under everything. They also dry in lightening fast time. In my opinion, they're just good diapers and I've ended my search for diapers. If I ever need more and the prices are approximately the same I'll just buy these.
