what are the alternatives? i have tried swaddlebees but i dont think i like the sided snapping..it seems to be a problem with chunky thighs!!!! i also dont prefer velcro.

Have you seen softbums? I think they work better for the chunky legs, but it has just one side snap on each side. I also like that you don't have to stuff them, but can snap in the insert.

 

[aisraeltax]

who makes them? do you have a link?
thanks!

It's a wahm up in Northern Minnesota, the site is http://www.softbums.com
I have heard of people with skinny babies having problems, but ds has super dooper fat chunky legs and they have worked fabulous for us.

I like Fuzzi Fannies. www.fuzzifannies.com They are very cute and reasonably priced. The only issue is that getting one of her custom spots can be difficult. Good luck finding what works for you.

I have a bunch of these and love them! She stocks on Thursdays (I think).

I'm interested too! Thanks for starting the thread, I'm subbing.

BTW, are all these as absorbant as fbs or are they more like fitteds?

I also want to stick with fb-like pockets w/ snaps and pul or equally water resistant!

bellabottoms.com has a pocket dipe (called an AIO but really a pocket) with fleece inner and procare outer. I haven't used mine yet, but I washed it today and it seems good--a little bulky, I'd say, but seems like a fairly adjustable fit--snaps at side waist and leg. You might want to check it out as another option.

What about Wonderworks OS pockets? I just got one to test and they seem to be fitting all my gals well.

Snap-ez are great. www.snap-ez.com, and also Green Acre Designs. I have used both and are great products.

I've heard great things about the Fuzzi Fannies too, though I haven't tried them. I really like our DryBees, though they are aplix.

How about Superstars One size pocket by Wonderworks? They are new and improved.

 

[sewingmomma]

I'm dying to try the superstars pocket and the wonderworks diaper cover

Check out http://www.recycleze.com/aio.html they have snap out soakers and come in side snap or front snap. I have 4 of these w/ lots of extra soakers and they are awesome! With this type of diaper I can go all day switching back and forth between 2 diapers (letting them air out between use) and then just snap in a new soaker. Unless its visibly soiled, you can re-use the "shell" several times before washing. These are made locally and are wonderful to work with. So if you buy one diaper with an extra soaker its like having 2 diapers.

what about very baby pockets with snaps?

 

[studentmama]

The softbums have a snap in insert, which I love. They have just one snap on each side, which is another feature I liked. Ds is to busy trying to run away, so with the ones that have two snaps on each side, I found I couldn't get the two snaps snapped fast enough(say that five times fast, lol), so I really prefer just having one snap on each side. I have tried the regular soaker and the hemp and the hemp is much more abosorbant so if I were to order again I would go with the hemp soakers.

I was going to suggest BumGenius but it's a velcro (I'm waiting for one)
Snap diapers I'd suggest Wonderoos (Superstars) one size pockets
And Snap EZ
I'd like to try a Very Baby or a One Mad Giraffe. Or a mommys touch all pockets I believe.

 

[nighten]

I've got a Mommy's Touch and it's a pain to use, honestly. I appreciate it being so versatile size-wise, but I really dislike having to double snap (for want of a better phrase) everytime I use it.

I love the pocket diapers there. Based on how they fit my DS, I think they'd be a good fit for a chunky-thighed baby. She doesn't really carry any in-stock, but the custom work is worth the two-week wait (mine came faster than that) and you can get exactly what you want -- either snaps or touchtape, and tons of fabric choices. We use ours as nightime diapers and when I stuff with the free microfiber towel and a couple homemade hemp inserts, we've never had a leak. And DS sleeps 10 hours solid, so it's absorbing quite a lot.
