What's your favorite pocket dipe?

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
I've finally decided to commit to full time cloth with the new babe coming. But I'm lazy, and want the easiest diapers I can get. Price IS an object, but if it weren't, what pocketr diaper would you fill your stash with? Or is there some other super easy dipe I'm missing? I plan to line dry, in a damp climate, so I don't think AIO are an option.

The only ones I've tried are Fuzzi Bunz, BumGenius, Knickernappies, and Green Acre Designs. I'm not a pocket lover, but I found all of them to work pretty reliably. The GADs were probably my least favorites because although they were super freaking cute, they were too trim to be able to hold a double-stuffing with flats, which would have provided plenty of absorbency with lightning fast drying time, which sounds like it's important to you, too. The other three were all roomy enough for double flat stuffing.

One-size diapers may save you a lot of money, or they may not, depending on how well they hold up in the laundry and whether they really do fit your individual child all the way from birth to potty training. I would think they'd be worth a try.

So far, I have tried Fuzzi Bunz, Bum Genius, and Nubunz. My favorite so far has been Fuzzi Bunz b/c they are just the most well made of the three that I've tried. I haven't had a problem with them at all. The snaps are great, the lining & elastic are still in great condition, etc. I've mostly used the sized FB and not the one size. I have two of the one size diapers, but I dont' think it's enough to form a full opinion on them. The BG cause a rash and I don't like the liner material they use. Also, the aplix doesn't work that well. The Nubunz are decent for the price, but you can tell the quality isn't as good as FB or even BG. I've also had some snap issues even though I've only been using them less than a month.

Mommy's Touch One-Size Easy Clean with Snaps - They have openings on both ends so the insert comes out in the wash and I don't have to dig through my dirty pail pulling them out. Also, I won't buy any diaper with aplix/velcro again, they don't last long enough.

I love love love my AMP Duos. They can be used as a pocket or an AI2. They are by far my favorite pocket diaper, and I've tried quite a few!
I like my Blueberries a lot (from the outlet- I wouldn't pay full price for them!), as well as my SoftBums.
Every other pocket diaper I've tried has been sold, except the BG's that I'm borrowing from a friend.

I've tried Fuzzi Bunz (though I liked them a lot for ds1, I don't love them now), Swaddlebees (loved the fit, but they leaked out the side), Rumparooz (the tabs wick pee onto his clothes, and the fit is wierd and bulky), Knickernappies OS (LOVED the fit, but had leaking out the side- I think it's a side snap thing for us), BumGenius (just not a great fit- I use them at night sometimes), Tiny Tush OS (one row of snaps just doesn't work for ds). I feel like I'm missing some...lol.

My favorite is the new BabyKicks Org. Fitted. I don't need a cover when I stuff it with 2 joeybunz, and it fits my newborn and 1yo better than any other dipe. I need more !

My suggestion is to get a few different ones instead of all of one brand. I found my favourite diaper changed as my son changed and grew. In the end the Happy Heiney's one-size were my favourite b/c they had the highest rise and lasted the longest on him.

Love my AppleCheeks!

I love my AppleCheeks covers, they work as pocket dipes and also as all-in-twos. I hang dry the covers inside - it takes about half a day at most (even in the humidity). The covers are two-size and the flats are one size. Individually they are kinda pricey but as a system they are much less than others. They are available in Europe too.

My favorites are Fuzzi Bunz. We also use BG at night but the velcro is pretty much shot and I probably wouldn't buy those again.

I only have Nubunz, and they work fine...but I think my prefolds/cover are much easier. Plus the Nubunz give DS a rash and the prefolds never have.

My son is three now and I've tried a ton of different pockets. My current favorite is Preston's pants. They fit well, are pretty much leak proof and wash/wear well. Blueberries are great too. I've never been able to get a good fit with Fuzzi Bunz as they always seemed massive. (My three year old wears the one old style medium I have as a night diapers and he's an average sized kid). I haven't tired BG since version 1.0 but after looking everywhere for velcro I gone all snaps at this point.

Swaddlees were a great fit but had to be changed regularly (not really a bad thing) just because of the trimness. I really wanted to love GADs but trim plus thick didn't do it for me.

I'd suggest trying a few different kinds as your baby grows. That's half the fun for me anyway...

Preston's pants work well for us, as do fuzzibuns. Bumgenius is ok, but if anyone else puts those on the babe he leaks through I get leaks constantly with AngelLuvz, pity, cuz they are so darn cute! The inner layer is always pushing through the legs and causing wicking.
