ALVABABY Baby Cloth Diaper 6 Pack with 12 Inserts One Size Cloth Diaper Covers Adjustable Washable Reusable for Baby Girls and Boys

It was a hard debate whether to give these 4 or 5 stars. I went with 5 stars because for the price, these are my favorite cloth diapers and will be my go-to diapers if I need to order more, but they are not what I would consider to be the best. Backstory: I cloth diapered my first child using a combination of BumGenius All-in-Ones, FuzziBunz Pocket Diapers (Seconds), and I had 2 BumGenius Freetimes. I bought a nice recommended, organic detergent to wash them in and in a short time, my baby had ammonia burns on his bottom. We have EXTREMELY hard water and they weren't getting clean enough. A google search gave me multiple sources recommending to use Tide Original Powder to wash them in and although it voided the warranties, to me using Tide was a no brainer when it came to ammonia burns on my baby's bottom. Additionally, we live in Northeast Ohio which made hanging diapers out to dry in the winter impossible. The BumGenius All-in-Ones (my favorites) took forever to line dry (especially indoors) which resulted in us having to tumble dry them on low. Between the Tide, the hard water, and putting them in the dryer, our diapers lasted 2 years. The PUL was peeling and efforts to re-waterproof them failed (see attached picture). When I was pregnant with my second child, I looked into new cloth diapers because the cost savings and environmental impact will always be worth it to me to cloth diaper. I didn't want to spend the roughly $20 per diaper for the BumGenius diapers, so with these averaging out to around $5 a diaper, I took a chance. I bought 3 packs of 6 - costing me roughly $90 and I have a great rotation of diapers and only have to wash them every few days. I've been using them for 6 months with my second born and I couldn't be happier!!! First of all, I've always struggled with the absorbency issue with cloth diapers (although, side note, I have had WAY less poop blowouts in cloth than when we use disposables when we're on trips away from home - another perk of cloth diapers!). No cloth diaper is as absorbent as a disposable so you need to be prepared to change diapers more frequently. BumGenius were my favorite because their PUL is folded over onto the waist tabs, along with the top edges on the front and back which is helpful in preventing leaks (see uploaded photos for comparisons). The snaps are FANTASTIC for sizing. I hated the drying time with the All-in-Ones - even out on the line they didn't dry as quickly. The Freetimes dried more quickly, but I didn't find them to be as absorbent. I thought I would hate stuffing the inserts into the FuzziBunz pockets, but stuffing wasn't bad at all. What I disliked about the Fuzzibunz is that you had to adjust the elastic on the leg holes and the waist to size the diapers. Ugh! It was a huge pain and I didn't feel they were as absorbent. So for the AlvaBaby Diapers to have the snaps for sizing and a GREAT price - I was sold. A major perk is that I can hang these diapers up in my dark, cold, below ground basement during winter in Northeast Ohio and they dry overnight - no more having to use the dryer which gives me hope that they may last longer than 2 years. I still wash them in Tide and I wash the shells in warm water, extra rinse, heavy soil setting and I wash the inserts separately - also in Tide, hot water, extra rinse, heavy soil setting. Leaks do happen with the AlvaBaby diapers. If you look at the uploaded pictures of the one on Baby, anywhere the white, inner lining is showing is a potential leak spot where it touches Baby's clothing. I really try to make sure that fleece lining is tucked inside the diaper, which helps to minimize leaking. Also, several of the AlvaBaby diapers have a velvety/velour type cover which is more prone to leaks than the more "plasticy" covers because they absorb moisture from the inside liner too (see the cow print cover vs. plain blue photo). The styles and colors available are really adorable and I've gotten a lot of compliments. Sorry for the lengthy review, but all in all, these are a GREAT value in cloth diapering and I would absolutely buy them again and recommend them to anyone.

These were a good price. Great quality. Absorbs great.! Grows with baby. Adjustable.

Just recently started cloth diapering and the ONLY disappointment I have is I did not find these diapers earlier!!!! I LOVE THEM! Easy to wash, good quality, soft but yet durable. I also LOVE the price. It can not be beat for cloth diapers. I was always pushed away from cloth diapering because of the cost of some of them that cost $15-$20 per diaper I couldn’t afford that - but this Alvababy makes cloth diapering affordable and adorable. I hang dry all of mine and they dry really quickly, when I can’t hang them out I hang them in front of a fan or just where I do the rest of my clothes and they dry nicely and quickly. I think you might be able to put them in the dryer but I have chosen not too a) simply don’t need too I plan on having 12 maybe 18 diapers for my child b) I personally feel that they will last me longer not going thru the dryer (I would choose this method of drying with any brand of cloth diaper I would have) I loved these diapers so much I ordered some more and because I only had 6 to begin with!!! I only got the plain colored ones - mainly because they were the cheapest and I don’t care about what the diaper looks like just that it works and these do. Other perk is that you end up saving a ton of money and helping the environment! I only got 6 to start out with figured I wasn’t out much if it was a fail- but purchasing Alvababy was the best decision I could have made to start cloth diapering; I’ve thought about venturing out but after finding something for this price that works why spend more? I have never been happier diapering and getting to pick what color diaper is going to be used next. Thank you Alvababy this is a great product! UPDATE AFTER USING THESE FOR ALMOST A YEAR.... I was hang drying these every day to every other day. Well it became winter and they were taking longer to dry and had to set up fans etc. On accident one diaper and insert went thru the dryer. They were both fine. I have been running these thru my dryer on high heat for 70 minutes almost every day - to every other day. The diapers hold together just as well as they ever did + they are washed and dried and put back on the changing table in less time! Game changer! Run them thru the wash then run them thru the dryer and you are back in business! These diapers are TOUGH!

I bought these while pregnant, having never used cloth diapers before and being a complete beginner to the cloth diapering process. I purchased 4 packages so that I would have 24 diapers. I have been using them for about 3 weeks now. I decided to use disposables until my son was about 10 pounds (about a month old) because they are pretty bulky for a teeny baby. But from what I understand, unless you buy specific newborn cloth diapers, most other brands are very bulky too. These are still pretty bulky on my now 11 pound son, but they fit nicely on the smallest settING and we haven't had a problem with fitting the appropriate sized clothes over them. He seems very comfortable in them. They are extremely easy to insert and remove the microfiber pads. As far as cleaning goes, they have come out of the was BEAUTIFULLY every time and I wash every 2 days. Instructions say to soak and wash on cold water but I do a cold soak woth no detergent and then a warm wash/cold rinse with Tide and a water softener (we have VERY hard water here). So far no buildup or loss of absorbancy, but I guess time will tell if that remains true. The only complaint I have abiut these diapers is that they seem to start leaking after abiut 3 hiurs of wear, which isn't a problem now as my son still wakes frequently at night to eat but that will be a problem when he's ready to sleep longer stretches at night. I plan on using disposables at night in only when we reach that point. All in all, I am SO happy wth these diapers and think that not only are they great for their price (SUCH a bargain for cloth diapers!!) But they are just great all around. I would absolutely reccomend them to anyone who is just starting out and is so lost on all the different brands and types :)

Super cute prints, each diaper comes with 2 liners. Feel very soft and the quality top notch! No need to waste your time looking for other brands. Highly recommend 👌

All right, so I have been using cloth diapers since my son was born coming up on a year. I used newborn diapers for the first 2 months (Alva and Kawaii) and then I started using these. These were actually the very first pocket cloth diapers I ever got. These ended up being my favorite. They fit the best, I love the solid colors, and they are easy to customize. A note about inserts: Really, you are just getting these inserts for free. These two microfiber inserts may be enough for your baby up until s/he is 1 year old, but probably not. A term that is used around cloth diaper communities a lot is "heavy wetter". The problem with this term is it's ambiguous. So I'm going to try my best to explain absorbency. The two inserts that come with this diaper each hold about 4oz of liquid. My son outgrew this absorbancy by 3 months old. Standard flats hold 8oz. So if your child can't make it 2 hours on a standard flat, they won't make it on 2 microfiber inserts which will result in leaks. Once my son started to need more absorbency, I started stuffing his diapers with 1 microfiber and 1 Osocozy flat. That is what I've been putting in his diapers ever since. He has never had a leak. And that's why pockets are great. You can customize the absorbency. Also, I've never had a blow out with Alvababy diapers. Alvababy diapers also happen to be the diapers that fit my son the best. I have Blueberry, Grovia, Bestbottoms, Thirsties, and Mama Kalooa and I can't stand the way the snaps are on any of them. With that being said, around the time my son was 4 months, I decided I had found which diapers were my favorite and I put a bunch up. I only kept 18 out and have used those ever since. I wash my diapers every other day and with so little in rotating, they got washed a lot. Yet, they still look amazing! I hear so many people slamming Alvababy for quality, but I just haven't experienced that. I wash with Tide and Oxiclean and I put in the dryer on medium. I decided it was time to go to work and found a daycare that accepts cloth diapers. I realized with working that I might not want to stuff diapers every other night. I still plan on washing every other day but plan to do stuffing on Sundays. I decided I wanted to have enough that are preped Monday through Friday. When I was deciding on which brand to buy more of, it was a no-brainer. I chose Alvababy. I am obsessed with the solid color prints, so I decided to buy more of these and then I got some other colors from other websites. I now own 45 Alvababy diapers. You definitely don't need that many! But, for me I just wanted to have enough for the week for daycare. It would probably be easier to send flats/covers to daycare, but like most daycares, they require the whole diaper to be changed. Therefore, I highly recommend these to people. I have never had a single issue with any of my Alvababy diapers with almost a year of use. In my opinion, you are better off saving money on buying a cheaper shell and spending money on absorbency because absorbency is where most people run into issues with leaking. I don't find the PUL or snaps to be any better on expensive brands. Also, I love that I don't need to worry about daycare or another caregiver ruining an expensive diaper. If daycare loses one, it's not a big deal. However, if daycare lost a Ragababe diaper or another expensive diaper, it would be a big deal! If you do have issues, I highly recommend you contact Alvababy directly. I've never had to, but moms in some of the cloth diaper groups I'm part of contacted Alvababy directly. If you have a snap fall off, quality issues, or what not it's worth calling them. The moms who did have to call, got replacements sent. Pics: 1st-Just a pic showing this 6 pack (the old ones) mixed with newer Alvas I have bought. I haven’t received my new 6 pack yet. 2nd-Inside of old one versus brand new diaper. 3rd-Outside of old one versus brand new diaper. Note: The green diaper has snap blockers in place because I was prepping it for daycare. I know it will be hard to see in the pic, but I’m trying to show how well these held up with everyday use for 9 months.

For background, I used cloth diapers for 2.5 years with my first plus another 7 months with #2 here. I've used prefolds w/ covers, AIOs and pockets. Personally, I really like pocket diapers and bought a used stash of high-end diapers for my first child. As she was the 3rd child in that set, I knew I would have to buy some new diapers for the stash and replace some very worn ones. After looking for used high-end brands, I ended up taking a chance on these cause I really needed more in rotation and I have to say - I am blown away! Granted my original stash is used, but these seem to be just as high quality for literally A THIRD OF THE PRICE! After pre-washing 3 times, they have been extremely absorbent already, zero leaks and a lot of flexibility with fit. I thought the inserts may be cheap or shoddy, I have my own I was thinking of using, but honestly they are great too. I use one insert and it even withstood nighttime use. Obviously may need to use 2 as he gets bigger, but I was surprised it worked as well as it did with only 1. Within days, I have ordered another set. With this price point, I can replace most if not all of my stash. I cannot speak to durability, but even if I had to replace some of these in a year - I am still paying less than high-end new and likely to still come under high-end used. Also to anyone new to cloth, I love to suggest Grovia cloth wipes. Having all cloth is simpler and they work fantastic as well - some are 3+ years strong.

These pocket diapers are such a steal. The quality is really good, and they're super easy to use. I have a small baby, so it took a while for him to fit these without leaking. But now that he's big enough, I have experienced very few leaks and zero blow outs! I also have some pocket diapers from various brands that I got used, and I like the Alva Baby brand best so far. They have so many snaps to adjust the size as my son gets bigger, and I like that the pocket is a bit of elastic instead of a flap like other brands. It's also fantastic that these come with extra microfiber liners, as I was able to use them in my used diapers that didn't come with liners. The plain colors are really cute, though I would love to see some patterns that aren't quite to busy/tacky from this brand. All around really great cloth diapers!
