I LOVE these diapers. I cannot say enough good things about them. My son is very chunky, and the fit him like a glove. He has long since grown out of other one size diapers (wonderoos, ecobaby) but has a long way to go in these diapers! And even after he outgrows them, Emily (the creator) made extender tabs so the diapers get just a tad bigger and last longer. I also tried them on my three month old nephew (who is smaller than most newborns) and it took some folding, but they fit and weren't too bulky.
There are four snaps on each side, for a total of eight snaps that have to be done up to fasten the diaper. Yes, it's more work than the traditional 4 snaps, but not that much. And it enables a perfect fit. Although I don't always do the inner snaps and just fasten two on each side. Never had a problem doing that.
They have gathered leg elastic and it forms somewhat of a gusset. I was skeptical at first but it REALLY helps to keep everything inside! Just make sure to rinse before washing or make sure that it all game out in the wash. A few times I have had a little bit get caught up in the elastic, but no big deal, especially since it doesn't leak out of the diaper! The elastic also does not leave red marks on my baby's skin. Never once. I can't say that about any other pocket diaper.
The pocket is large and easy to stuff. I use just about anything, but I find infant prefolds fit really well. Premium standard size require a little tucking, but they still work. It is easy to get enough in though for nightime and they are still TRIM. I can't believe how trim these diapers are. Even with a prefold and a microterry towel, these are still daytime trim. I think it's because they are so elastic and there are so many snaps.
The fleece inside is soft and holds up well through washing. There is also enough room between the fleece and the cover for me to stick my whole arm in (well, up to my elbow at least!) to stuff it, so I can get the insert in there perfectly.
I don't need anymore pocket diapers right now unfortunately, or I would be stocking up on these diapers! I have a dozen now, and they are my favorite. During the day they are trimmer than any other pocket (even swaddlebees) and at night they are bulletproof but still allow his pajamas to fit. The colors are great, I really like the brown ones!
When my son outgrows his current size in pockets, I will definitely be buying more Mommy's Touch. They are the only pockets for us! I just wish they had been around when my son was born!
