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

It was a hard debate whether to give these 4 or 5 stars. I went with 5 stars because for the price, these are my favorite cloth diapers and will be my go-to diapers if I need to order more, but they are not what I would consider to be the best.Backstory: I cloth diapered my first child using a combination of BumGenius All-in-Ones, FuzziBunz Pocket Diapers (Seconds), and I had 2 BumGenius Freetimes. I bought a nice recommended, organic detergent to wash them in and in a short time, my baby had ammonia burns on his bottom. We have EXTREMELY hard water and they weren't getting clean enough. A google search gave me multiple sources recommending to use Tide Original Powder to wash them in and although it voided the warranties, to me using Tide was a no brainer when it came to ammonia burns on my baby's bottom. Additionally, we live in Northeast Ohio which made hanging diapers out to dry in the winter impossible. The BumGenius All-in-Ones (my favorites) took forever to line dry (especially indoors) which resulted in us having to tumble dry them on low. Between the Tide, the hard water, and putting them in the dryer, our diapers lasted 2 years. The PUL was peeling and efforts to re-waterproof them failed (see attached picture). When I was pregnant with my second child, I looked into new cloth diapers because the cost savings and environmental impact will always be worth it to me to cloth diaper. I didn't want to spend the roughly $20 per diaper for the BumGenius diapers, so with these averaging out to around $5 a diaper, I took a chance. I bought 3 packs of 6 - costing me roughly $90 and I have a great rotation of diapers and only have to wash them every few days. I've been using them for 6 months with my second born and I couldn't be happier!!!First of all, I've always struggled with the absorbency issue with cloth diapers (although, side note, I have had WAY less poop blowouts in cloth than when we use disposables when we're on trips away from home - another perk of cloth diapers!). No cloth diaper is as absorbent as a disposable so you need to be prepared to change diapers more frequently. BumGenius were my favorite because their PUL is folded over onto the waist tabs, along with the top edges on the front and back which is helpful in preventing leaks (see uploaded photos for comparisons). The snaps are FANTASTIC for sizing. I hated the drying time with the All-in-Ones - even out on the line they didn't dry as quickly. The Freetimes dried more quickly, but I didn't find them to be as absorbent. I thought I would hate stuffing the inserts into the FuzziBunz pockets, but stuffing wasn't bad at all. What I disliked about the Fuzzibunz is that you had to adjust the elastic on the leg holes and the waist to size the diapers. Ugh! It was a huge pain and I didn't feel they were as absorbent.So for the AlvaBaby Diapers to have the snaps for sizing and a GREAT price - I was sold. A major perk is that I can hang these diapers up in my dark, cold, below ground basement during winter in Northeast Ohio and they dry overnight - no more having to use the dryer which gives me hope that they may last longer than 2 years. I still wash them in Tide and I wash the shells in warm water, extra rinse, heavy soil setting and I wash the inserts separately - also in Tide, hot water, extra rinse, heavy soil setting.Leaks do happen with the AlvaBaby diapers. If you look at the uploaded pictures of the one on Baby, anywhere the white, inner lining is showing is a potential leak spot where it touches Baby's clothing. I really try to make sure that fleece lining is tucked inside the diaper, which helps to minimize leaking. Also, several of the AlvaBaby diapers have a velvety/velour type cover which is more prone to leaks than the more "plasticy" covers because they absorb moisture from the inside liner too (see the cow print cover vs. plain blue photo). The styles and colors available are really adorable and I've gotten a lot of compliments. Sorry for the lengthy review, but all in all, these are a GREAT value in cloth diapering and I would absolutely buy them again and recommend them to anyone.

These diapers are awesome and I like the fabric that they add with the set. That makes it worth buy somehow I return these because I could not wash them all day long. It's a very good manufacturer

My baby has eczema and sensitive skin.We have started to cloth diaper exclusively after my sister sent me this pack of Alva baby diapers (I bought more because for the 1st time he’s sleeping through the night!!). I had already ordered from Esembly, but it was going to take a week or so.I figured cloth diapering would be safer for my baby, but it’s turning out to be a little more complicated. My baby hates any sensation of wetness, and without the indicator strip on his diaper, we’re not sure if he’s ready for a diaper change, we’re also teething, or just wants to do something different. Every time we have to open his diaper and touch/sniff. Sometimes I can’t detect anything at all!We’ve been following the care instructions. Alva Baby’s website basically implies that you’re either not changing your diapers frequently enough or not washing them properly. We are doing both! My son, on disposable diapers, was getting a change every 30-50 minutes. We are trying to keep that same schedule, and also base it on his cues. This diaper rash looks very red/raised and hasn’t gone away with either his regular mustela, or the eczema one. I’m going to try Esembly’s diaper rash cream before I go to our pediatrician.On the other side:These diapers are working really well for our family otherwise. My son is finally sleeping through the night (part of the reason we’re also thinking the diaper rash is occurring- wet diaper for 12 hours). Because of my son’s hatred of being wet, we only use one insert per diaper, and then 3-4 inserts at night. He sleeps from 6pm-4:30am or 7pm-6am.If he wakes up at 4:30, it’s because I’m trying to give him a fresh diaper. The snaps are loud when you take them off, so it creates a bit of difficulty. However since he’s been waking up early, he has thankfully at least been going to bed earlier.Super easy to launder, and never boil the shell. We have he washer so I’m wondering if I might need to add more detergent than what I have been. I usually wash 2x. 1st time is a quick cycle with a little detergent, just diapers, then I do a heavy cycle with regular detergent and other things that need to be laundered. Then I toss everything in the dryer, but not high heat due to the instructions.In terms of leakage, my son is a heavy wetter I think. I change him at least once an hour, and he sleeps through the night on 3-4 inserts without leaks. The ONLY time I ever experienced a leak was when I left a diaper too loose. I knew it was too loose but he was being extra wiggly and I said F it. I paid the price lol. Make sure to get snaps tight as possible, but still one finger in at the top without feeling pinched. Then the legs need to be cuffed on tightest setting but not enough to rub baby’s legs raw.These diapers are PERFECT for finding out how you feel about cloth diapers without investing a ton. You get a lot for your money. Hemp/100%cotton inserts will always be more absorbent than these microfiber ones. So if you feel like you’re on the border if cloth diapers but this wasn’t quite it, I highly recommend buying quality inserts and keeping these shells. Cloth diapers are so customizable, and you can put the inserts in the pocket and as a liner.

The family we gifted these diapers said they like them. Good enough for me.

After owning mama koala and wegreeco diapers, these are still our favs! We have a lanky , long baby and they fit the best around the hips and legs. The inserts aren’t my favorites, but they do the job. The shells are by far the best!
