These are our most popular item and it only took one use for me to understand why. The fit is beautiful and the leg gussets really work well; they contain everything without having to be so tight on my daughter’s little thighs that they cause marks. They are so flexible that even though I chose to go a size up because my baby is in the middle of the small/medium weight range I had no problems at all. I then tested the small and it fit better, but neither size allowed any leaks at all.
I love that they can overlap on either side, depending on which side my daughter decides has more interesting things to try and chase while I’m holding her down. I usually have to overlap in the front, because I’ve got a long skinny girl, and trying to remember which side of a particular cover has to go first can be too much for my little brain on occasion. Yay for no more redoing the diaper because I didn’t think ahead! Now if I can just remember to use those great laundry tabs every time…
Now, I usually use a prefold with my covers and don’t bother using pins or a Snappi (not that a Snappi is hard to use, I’m just extra lazy ). The small size works fine for this right now, but while using the medium cover I had to use those Snappis every time. There is a cost to going a size up too soon. Also, I do use fitted diapers at night sometimes and those worked great with this cover. Since I had a bigger size, I had all the room I needed to add doublers and such, and I didn’t have to worry about tugging and tucking.
Finally, the huge range of colors is wonderful. They have everything from pastels to brights and that makes using them even more fun. I think my favorite is the raspberry, but the aqua and celery are also very popular.
