Which pocket diapers do you like?

[sunsalutations]

I'm 2 weeks into CDing and loving it so far. I have been using Fuzzibunz pocket diapers (One Size) for overnights with my 2 month old son and they're working well but the adjustable elastic keeps coming out when I wash them which is a little annoying. I need more pocket diapers for overnight and don't know if I should get more Fuzzibunz or if I should try another brand. My son is on the trim side. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I have the Bum Genius 3.0 and love them. If I were to buy them now I would get the snap version as my aplix wore out but I converted them to snaps and still use them for nap and bedtime. (We go diaperless or just a prefold during the day). They are 2 1/2yrs old and the elastic is as good as the day I bought them.

I also like that they have the micro suede on the inside instead of micro fleece like every other pocket diaper. I think is doesn't get build up as easily and keep their bums feeling drier. Worth ever penny I spent as they have been used through 2 children.

I love my one-size bumgenius, as well. my dd is only 2.5 months, but i got my diapers used, so they're older than that.

Mommy's Touch One-size Easy Clean Pockets - they have openings on both ends so no need to remove the insert before washing.

I only do snap-closures because aplix wears out.

I like fuzzi bunz but only use the sized ones. they are so awesome and the seconds site has them cheap.

I like the BGs too but I don't love the velcro ones it gets curly and weaker

I think fuzzi bunz are great, maybe try the sized ones? what about happy heinys they are pretty much the same as fuzzi bunz but with velcro and not snaps

I liked the Haute Pockets, but I don't think they're being made anymore. I have a Swaddlebees that I like. I use Tweedlebugs too, they are on the less expensive side and I think they fit really well! I didn't buy them but I was given a bunch of Babyland dipes and I like them, though I know they are cheapo Ebay pockets.

oh really? that's too bad. because now that you mention it that may actually be my favorite pocket diaper. but i only have one of them.

I'm a big fan of pockets. They make up 90% of my stash. My favorites are Fuzzi Bunz Perfect size, followed closely by Knickernappies pockets. I think they are both well-made dipes that hold up well, are easy to use and do not leak. FB one size would be third. I prefer snaps with fleece lining.

I do not care for Happy Heinys or BG dipes at all. I find Happy Heinys to be too narrow in the crotch and they sometimes leak. I detest the velcro on the BGs. I also find the BGs to be too bulky. I always put my HH and BG dipes at the bottom of my stash or keep them in the car for emergency changes only.

Yeah, I bought some off of Nicki's diapers and now they're gone. My friend gave me about five of hers that she doesn't use anymore. That same friend said something like she heard they were bought out, but no more dipes were being made. They were priced nice too! I recommend Nicki's in general though for buying your dipes. You can get gently used diapers at a discount. They were diapers people returned to Nicki's and they resell them. I think most haven't even been worn. That's where I got my Swadlebees. My Tweedlebugs I bought new, only $12.95 I think. I really like them.

We used bg 2.0s for ds1 for nearly 3yrs straight and they held up fine (elastic was a bit stretched by the end but otherwise OK - a friend is replacing the elastic for her dd to use them now. We have 3.0s for ds2 whcih still look practicly brand new after 10 months use. LOVE bg's!!

BGs are my go-to pocket. I trust them completely. I find the suedecloth keeps DS super-dry and they accommodate enough stuffing for night-time. I haven't found that the aplix wears out at all - I have some 1.0s, 2.0s and a 3.0 and the aplix is fine on all of them - not as lovely as brand new, but completely serviceable. I do hang them to dry, which I'm sure helps, but then I suspect most people here do. DD was very thin, and they worked on her, and they are working perfectly for my thunder-thighed DS too.

My favourite pocket for day is the HH sized. I love the leg openings - they were trustworth for skinny DD, and no elastic marks for DS. I trust them for naps. I haven't tried them overnight - I suspect they're not as trustworthy as the BG. I don't like the HH one-size though - I find it bulky for DS, and it leaked for DD overnight - that might have been a blip.

I do have some FBs - I have one one-size and a small. I trust them, but not as much as BG. That said I'm about to go down to the basement to unearth the mediums that I bought for DD and assuming that the elastic is still working, I'll be using them on DS.
