Question 1

Do you have to wash the entire diper with every pee/poop? If so, would you need like 14/day?

Accepted Answer

That depends.  If you do it like recommended, then yes.  Instead of putting the inserts in the pocket as it calls for, we just lay them inside so that they act as a liner instead.  This way, for wet diapers all that needs to be changed and washed is the insert/liner and the cover can last half a day at the least.  With poop, it depends on the volume to be honest.  A large poop will get enough mess in there to need to change the whole thing, but smaller ones generally don't for us.  We generally go through 12-15 inserts and 2-4 covers a day.

Question 2

Do you have to change the shell every time you change a insert?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You should change the shell when you change the insert. This is a pocket diaper. The insert goes in a pocket, and that touches the baby's skin. This "pocket" also gets wet or poo on it, so it should be changed. There are 2 inserts per diaper. I have found one is great for daytime and 2 gets me through the night! If you want a diaper that you reuse the shell, I would recommend either the flip system or econobum. Both are great. I have noticed that I almost always have to change the shell as well. EBF poo, rarely misses the leg gussets on diapers, or so is my experience. I would not recommend best bottom. I have used the newborn alva pockets with a g-diaper insert layed on top of the pocket. I can then take the insert out and reuse the shell. I have been able to get a couple of diaper changes out of one that way, but this is not what is intended, and I would not use the included microfiber insert for this purpose.

Question 3

What size are the inserts? Can I use another brand of inserts?

Accepted Answer

I think the inserts are a pretty standard size - and yes, I think you would be able to use another brand of inserts.

Question 4

Hi i have a french bulldog that doesn’t control esfinters and I used diapers for babies. I use size 4 huggies. Will this ones work for my dog?

Accepted Answer

There is no place for a tail , but bulldogs just have cute little stubs, so that shouldn't be a problem. These diapers are adjustable around the legs and waste to accommodate up to a 35 lb child. My girl would still wear these when she was in 5 diapers and, while they were a bit snug, even when she wore 6s. She could also wear them all the way back to newborn stage, so these should work for you.
