 Pretty, slim between the legs, but a bit messy! July 28, 2010
Mental Mommy (Portsmouth, VA United States)
I have several of these and have 3 inserts for each shell.
What I love about this diaper:
1. Pretty! There are lots of bright, attractive colors and patterns. We have "boy" and "girl" patterns. I love them all!
2. Non-irritating velcro. The tabs are not scratchy and won't irritate baby's skin. They're almost smooth to the touch!
3. Perfect laundry tabs. They fold right over on themselves!
4. Overlapping tabs. If you have a skinny baby, the tabs will fasten on top of each other for a snug fit.
5. Elastic in the liner. There is elastic around the legs to help hug the liner to your baby.
6. Snap-in liners. No more bunching up! These liners snap right in to the shell.
7. Slim in the middle. Cloth diapers are bulkier than disposables. Period. When our baby wears these, I can tell by the way she is walking. They are slimmer than the other AIO (all in one)'s we have tried and I really like that!
What I would change:
1. We have LOTS of "leakage" from the liner to the shell. The elastic helps, but if the baby poops, chances are we are going to have to rinse and change the shell. We don't often make it through a day without going through at least 4 shells. With other AIO systems, we can make it through a day with 2 shells.
2. Taller rise. Our baby is short and chunky. At 15 months old, she is totally unsnapped, so the rise will not go any higher for her. She may outgrow these before any of our other cloth diapers. These were the first we had to go up in size every time she grew, also.
3. Wing droop. With the velcro closures, there is nothing to hold the wings up - the part that is tucker under and around your baby's belly. With the snaps, this is addressed, but the velcro leaves some hanging wings on skinny babies. Our chunky baby doesn't have much of an issue with it, but it could be troublesome if your baby isn't full-figured. :-)
Overall, I really like these. Very functional, but you might need a few shells more than other AIO systems. :-)
 Doesn't work as well as I thought June 28, 2010
Jay A. (New York)
When I first bought these diapers I was very excited to use them. Once I did I was disappointed.
Pros- not as bulky as some diapers, and they are really cute, I have not had leak when he is awake
Cons- When the inserts get wet the shell gets wet as well and the odor is strong. I don't feel the insert was designed well. Its a great concept but not very functional. I put my son down for a nap and he woke up soaked. The sheets were soaked as well. He is 9 mos old and the first and only time this happened is when I put this diaper on him. These are the only diapers I have besides the prefold diapers so now I make sure to put on a prefold before a nap.
I just recently ordered bumgenius and thirsties. I have been using disposables for overnights since my son is a heavy wetter. I am hoping with the new diapers I can eliminate the use of disposables. I know for sure the grobaby diapers won't work for that purpose.
Good but smelly... February 22, 2010

Pro's:
-Once the liners for this diaper have been primed, they are quite absorbant. I have not had any leaks.
-The construction of the diaper is very good. These have my favorite snaps and I love that the liner snaps into place.
-Velcro is great for quick changes, my husband apreciates not having to line up the snaps.
-They are very trim between the legs and the liners have a wide backside to them which is great for girls who pee a lot...My daughter.
-they work GREAT with the Gro-baby disposable liners.
Cons:
-The liners are on the rough side, and once they are wet they feel VERY wet. For some reason, (and this is since I've had them and not the result of a terribly stinky potty) they STINK! They smell fine when they are clean but the second my kids pee in them I become very aware of the smell. I have several other types of liners and do not have this problem. These create the most pungent amonia smell I have ever experienced in CDing.
-While these work very well for girls, they are not so great for boys as they get narrower toward the front. They tend to bunch up around the genitals and are not very comfortable for him. I would like to have more of an hour glass shape to them since I use them for both of my kids.
Overall a great diaper! January 3, 2010

Overall this is a great diaper! There are definitely some thins I love and some that I don't love.
what I love -
1. trim fit
2. dries super fast in the dryer and on the line
3. shell can be used over until soiled cutting down on laundry
4. one size
4. so easy to use and SO convenient
5. the soaker seems to hold a lot of urine!
Things I don't love so much -
1. The shell gets well when the soaker is wet
2. The rise is pretty short and this diaper doesn't seem to fit as long as my other one size diapers
3. only vanilla comes in a snap option (but the natural baby co. offers a snap conversion)
there really isn't that much that I don't like. this is a great diaper and is often in our rotation!
