ALVA Baby Cloth Diaper Covers Adjustable Reusable Washable 6 pcs&12 Inserts

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 are great 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.

I bought 12, the inserts come in the packages and I was confused putting them on. For under a year old go ahead and presnap the middle of the front horizontally so it isn't way up high, and fasten to leave only a couple snaps visible in the middle. I wash them regular warm with laundry sanitizer, I don't dry them because they dry in about an hour if left hung over something. That's the same method I use if I'm going to reuse it twice in one day, never overnight though for diaper rash which does well with these. Disposables seem to keep skin dryer when it comes to a cup of liquid but for 3 hours they may stay dryer. I tried inserts inside the diaper for dukes but gave up. I insert the regular cloth inside the diaper which should have been made clearer. Always take them out on a change and don't reuse when diaper rash is a concern. Use alba natural patroleum to create a moisture barrier for skin and any adhesion and ad or similar ointment. They make great swim diapers if kids stay in the water and you get them out right away on a duke. I leave inserts out, if they duke and get in and out of the water stuff will start coming out but that's true of most any diaper we used. Try to pre insert the inserts to make changes quick, but them on disposable stack to avoid temptation. I will usually use disposable overnight and first change in morning hoping to catch the early duke. Then save 4 diapers during the day with these for past year. They are a great deal because aside from wishing the bamboo liners didn't bunch up so you could just scrap any dukes in a bag instead of me what I do which is grab with paper towel into a plastic bag then hose off and let dry. Also I use swim diapers in public pools for that reason. She likes them, but not too much for size 1 up to 4 months, but we used them more after 6 months because they seem to keep her dry with 3 hour or less changes. Disposables lead to diaper rashes past this length anyway. In her case about 30 minutes after a duke, so these help that too, because they hold it, but not the smell and not great if diaper is wet. I'd buy 12 and plan to wash them twice a week, and with pee ones you can do them with regular stuff and sanitizer. Saves about 40 diapers a week, or $20, and stretches that 150 pack from less than a month out to more than two months. That's an extra maybe $300 bucks a year and almost 2,000 diapers kept out of the landfill. That's almost the size of a minivan in plastic and synthetic stuff, where these have some of that they seem healthier and better overall. Oxiclean and spray and wash take out what appears to be darkening in the middle over the course of 30 uses. Also I recommend using a point system so that if you have to change a dookey diaper you can redeem these points with someone who also changes them for something simple and enjoyable. Pee diapers are just about as quick as disposables, except you have to hang them seperate, I used to do this in bathroom or outside and now I just put them over the waste bin by the air filter and may have lost a few. They dry quick.

I was a little apprehensive at first because the cloth diapers my son had just grown out of were a different brand and type. Since I was used to them, I wasn't sure how I'd adjust to pocket diapers. So far, I love them, and I have 46 of them that get my son through 9 days altogether. I bought 12 on amazon, and the rest I've gotten at our local baby thrift. Since they are reusable, they are donatable, too. I use these paired with biodegradable bamboo liners to catch the poop, which help a lot even though they don't always catch all of it. But I do have some advice. I see mommas on TikTok all the time going over their cloth diapering routines and diaper washing routines. There is a chick on there who spends 9 hours washing her child's diapers, and I gotta tell you, it does not need to be that convoluted. 1 People worry about the smell, but if you rinse the poopy ones right away, they don't smell bad. Just a little musty when they pile up. I've literally never had a stinky diaper bin, I don't know what y'all are doing wrong. Just make sure that you remove the poop and rinse both the liner outside the pocket, and the diaper. 2 I've also found that if you rinse them, you don't have to do any special stain removal system because the marks will come right out during the wash in the machine. This may be due to the fact that the fabric is acrylic and literally cannot stain, but if you let the poop dry, it will get stuck in the fibers and will be visible. Do your baby's butt a favor and just rinse right away, or fold the diaper closed so you can rinse as soon as you are able before that night. 3 Only use a couple tablespoons of soap. Too much soap builds up even through the rinses and irritates baby's skin. I've learned that my son's diapers look clearer and fresher when I use less soap. I know it seems like it should be the other way around, but trust me. 4 Never use dryer sheets! Get a couple wool balls or something, just never put any kind of clothing conditioner or softeners on them. They also coat the liners and make them less absorbant. Baby skin does not like that. 5 Two rinses in the machine is enough if you have a machine that allows you to customize that. One is usually fine, but if you are worried, go for two. It won't hurt. 6 If you have time, dry on medium heat. High heat can degrade the structural integrity of the elastic that goes around the legs. I haven't ruined any so far, but I have found some second hand that had no stretch at all anymore and were essentially useless. I got them because I needed some extra and that's all they had. I put a vinyl panty on top because they leaked the entirety of a single pee immediately. Granted, those were not ALVA, but it's best to be cautious to high heat drying. If you have any questions, holla. My son is 11 months old tomorrow (March 2), and cloth diapering has been one of the best decisions I have made for our little family. It just takes a bit of getting used to the routine, and considering the average parent spends $900 on diapers per year per child, I think I dodged a very expensive bullet. They truly do pay for themselves.

As someone who, when making my first Alvababy diaper purchase, was highly skeptical of the quality of these cloth diapers, let me tell you how AWESOME they turned out to be!!! I was lucky to have a friend lend me a variety of cloth diapers to try out when I was debating cloth diapering my little one. Out of the multiple brands and styles she gave me to try I never really found a cloth diaper I was in love with or that fit my little one perfectly. Also most of the cloth diapers I tried were on the upper end of the price scale, which was intimidating since with a little one there are already lots of expenses. After googling and reading Amazon cloth diaper reviews, I decided to give Alvababy cloth diapers a try. I wasn't expecting much due to their reasonable, low cost. I figured for the price I paid for the six diapers in a pack I would be happy if they lasted six months. Well, I have been using my Alvababy diapers for seven months now and they honestly look almost as they did when I first got them! There has been some minor staining on the inner fabric of the diaper, but that I know is due to our hard water and washer and when possible, I hang them out in the sun and let it do its bleaching magic. These diapers are the only diaper that truly fits my little one. There have only been a handful of times when the diapers have leaked when my baby was laying on their stomach or had a major blowout that came quickly. I love that the diapers are easily adjustable and can grow with my little one. One of the diapers seemed to be a tiny bit larger in fit than the other diapers in the pack, but it still fits fine and I don't have any issues with it. The elastic around the leg holes is also a good fit on my little one. It's not too tight that it is uncomfortable, but yet it doesn't allow for leakage. My Alavababy cloth diapers get used every other day in my diaper rotation (with other Alvababy diapers of course). They have been washed every other day for six months following the cloth diaper washing: soak and rinse in cold water then washed in hot with cloth diaper safe detergent. I dry the inserts and hang dry the diaper shells. The diapers have held up AMAZINGLY! I haven't have any rips or tears around the snap area that get buttoned and pulled apart so many times. Since these are pocket diapers the pocket opening also gets a lot of use. It is easy to insert the bamboo inserts into the diaper and I feel the insert fits in nicely and lay flat. On a few of my diapers I have noticed that the elastic opening has gotten a tad bit wider, due to putting in and taking out inserts. The bamboo inserts are super absorbent. Each diaper comes with two inserts, but I only use one during the day, and two for nighttime diapering. The outer shell of the diaper is very waterproof. I haven't had leaks from a soaking insert (because who wants a leaky front or back of a diaper?). The outer material of the diaper has held up and hasn't faded even with washing in hot water and hanging outside in the sun. I was also drawn to these diapers because of the variety of cute designs. When I purchased this pack I got each diaper for under $7. Knowing what I do know about how well these diapers have done for my little one, this was a steal! If you are unsure of cloth diapering and overwhelmed by the price, give Alvababy cloth diapers a try. They are user friendly, hold up through all stages of potty and poopy from your little one, and are affordable and adorable!

I use Alvababy and Happy Flute cloth diapers. I'll try to give as much info as possible on my experience so far (we've been using cloth diapers regularly for about four months). I spent the first three months of my pregnancy researching everything cloth diaper. I was super overwhelmed and it turned out most of the info was a bit extra or didn't work for us. You have to try different things because in the end what works for some babies doesn't work for all. Also, water types and washing machines vary as well. So...here we go... First, what I like about Alvababy diapers: They are great double stuffed for bedtime. At bedtime I put two pads inside the pockets of baby's diaper for extra absorbency, and the Alvababy diapers seem much more comfortable to wear double stuffed. Our baby always sleeps in Alvababy diapers at bedtime. The Happy Flutes seem too bulky when double stuffed. I also love that Alvababy comes with so many pads, no need to buy separately. Now what I don't like about Alvababy: Alvababy diapers don't have enough stretch in the waist. When in Alvababy our baby is more likely to spit up when put into a sitting position. I love the stretch the Happy Flute diapers have. Compared to Alvababy, I noticed Happy Flute has more give in the waist and leg area. This is especially important to me when putting baby in the carseat or sitting in general. Also, I don't like that the PUL fabric is not at the inside top of the diaper as well. I feel that baby has more leaks from the top/belly area, especially when baby in laying on me while feeding and napping. I also don't like the snap layout on Alvababy compared to Happy Flute. There are less snaps making fewer size variations around the waist, as well as, length wise. When baby has a rash, I line the diapers with one Wegreeco disposable liner to protect the diaper from creams, as they do ruin absorbency. The Wegreeco liners do a great job! I have hard water. I use one scoop of Rockin' Green Cloth Diaper detergent per one days worth of diapers. I usually wash diapers everyday, with one scoop. If I skip a day, I use two scoops. I run a rinse and spin cycle, followed by a wash cycle. My wash cycle is like this: hot water, full spin, heavy soil, 2- 3 extra rinses (depending on how many poop diapers). *I tried washing in cold water every other day and the ammonia smell built up and was terrible, we had to strip the diapers which was stressful. For heavy stains, I put the diapers or pads in full sun for an afternoon and it clears up. I also use silicon agitator balls to knock loose any extra gook. I hang dry diaper shells and machine dry pads. We have a bidet sprayer attached to our toilet to spray poop off diapers. We do this in/over a bucket then dump and flush. Lastly, I have (2) Wegreeco Large Reusable Hanging Wet Bags (one in use, one in wash) to store dirty diapers. I know this is a ton of extra information, but I hope it helps someone who may be feeling overwhelmed or discouraged. I didn't use cloth diapers with my first two and I wish I would have. It's really not hard and its so much better for baby and is a long term money saver. *photos: the blue diaper on the bottom is Happy Flute, the purple top diaper is Alvababy.

I’ve been using these diapers for about 3 months now. I was very hesitant to cloth diaper at first, but these were such a good price that I bought the least expensive pack of AlvaBaby diapers to give them a go. I immediately preferred them over disposable diapers, mainly because they were so soft compared to disposables! I had never thought about how uncomfortable it must be to have that scratchy papery material against your skin, especially as a new little baby. I liked the first pack that I bought so much that I got another pack or two, and then ordered the rest from AlvaBaby’s website, since they have lots more options and are slightly cheaper. (They do take a week or two to get to you, though.) I have 35 diapers total, and wash them every night in hot water with Tide powder. They’ve held up perfectly, and don’t even have any stains! (The Tide does help tremendously with stains). The reason I docked a star was because these say they fit to 35 pounds, but I don’t think that’s going to happen for us. My 4.5 month old weighs 18.5 pounds, and is already on the end snaps on the wings. I’m hoping they’ll make it through the first year, and maybe we can potty train early, since he’s already very aware of his dirty diaper. I’ll update as needed. Another reason that I docked a star was because a couple of the diapers will leak at the stitching. I don’t understand why it’s only some, but I’ve noticed it several times before. Overall, I love these diapers. They’re so cute, and do a very nice job of containing even the most blow-out-y situations. *Update* They are still in perfect condition, after about 6 months of daily use and nightly washings. I am updating to 5 stars because he now weighs 22+ pounds, and the snaps seem to be adjusting as he grows. We snapped up to the middle size, so the belly and leg snaps were able to go down one snap; difficult to explain, but I believe these will fit fine for as long as we need them. The occasional slight leak doesn’t seem worthy of docking a star because disposable diapers blowout so much, and these have never blown out. It’s not often that they leak either, especially with bamboo inserts. We love these diapers!

We love our new fluff! My daughter just turned a year old, and at a friends suggestion, we decided to try cloth. She sent me some diapers, in different brands to try and see which ones fit the best. My daughter is tiny is height and weight, but has big chunky thighs, and from the beginning, the Alva's seemed to be the perfect fit for her. The microfiber insert holds alot of wetness, which we could tell right away even though we change her frequently. Even if the insert was wet, her little but wasnt all clammy like we had with disposables. The rise snaps and 3 side and hip snaps allows to get a perfect fit. At night I use the insert, and also put a charcoal bamboo insert on top with a liner in case she has a movement during the night. Usually I use the middle rise snap but at night I dont cnap them to allow for the extra bulk of the charcoal insert. While the Grovia liner catches most of her movements, my daughter still get breastmilk so her "solids" aren't quite so solid. So when some gets on the diaper, it easily rinses clean with cold water. They have held up in the wash well. I've only been using them for a few weeks now, but we are definitly it took about a week or so to get big fans. Even my husband ,who was not so thrilled about the switch at first, has come to admit that it's not nearly as bad as he thought it would be. It took about a week or so to get quick enough to where my daughter wouldn't get antsy and start squirming around, but now we are able to get it done almost as quick as a disposable. And lastly you just cannot be the prints. They are absolutely adorable! I will definitely be ordering many more of these, and the price point is excellent. The set of six comes with 12 inserts which is a bonus, and at a cost between 30 and $45 depending on the set they are much more affordable than other brands that easily cost between 20 and $40 per diaper!

I started using these cloth diapers when my kiddo was around 1 month old (at the smallest diaper setting, she was around 8-9 lbs). At 4 months old, we have moved up a row of snaps, and I still love these diapers! They have saved us so much money by switching from disposables. The frequent washing has worn the fabric of the interior, but that is to be expected - they are used and then washed every other day - and it hasn't impacted my baby's comfort or the use of the diaper. I have been using thin disposable liners on top to catch the solids, anyway (so I don't have to spray it). Leaks: happen on very rare occasions, usually when she floods pee out the back while sleeping (especially with microfiber inserts). The leaks haven’t been a big problem. Poop leaks have only happened when the diaper was not snapped to the correct settings for baby’s size and she happened to squirm too much. The same situations have occurred with disposables, compostables, and cloth diapers of other brands! These seem identical to BabyGoal, and very similar to both Sigzagor and Wegreeco brand pocket diapers. I have some from five different brands. I would rank them 1) Wegreeco (slightly larger width but same quality, I just find them a little easier to stuff and they come with bamboo inserts rather than microfiber), 2) Alva/Babygoal tie, 3) Sigzagor (slightly lower quality graphics on the cloth and a tiny bit smaller, but just as usable with a small baby). I cannot really rank them against Mama Koala as that brand is too different with just two hip snaps per side, a wider pocket opening with a flap, and extra-long microfiber inserts. HOWEVER, all 4 brands are single-gusset, and I had to get double-gusset covers later. I do prefer using the bamboo inserts over the microfiber (purchased separately, Alvababy brand), as the bamboo is easier on my hands while stuffing them into the pocket diaper after washing, and I think they absorb much better than the microfiber inserts. My washing methods: toss out poopy top-liner (purchased separately, I am using Grovia liners), remove insert and store both in a diaper wet bag until washing, run prewash cycle (cold), add clear-and-free detergent and wash normal (warm), and then toss in my dryer with dryer balls. Sometimes the inserts are still a bit damp, so I may run those a second time if needed, taking care not to overdry the PLU covers. Then I spend about 10 minutes stuffing liners into the diapers for use! Some of the inserts have developed some faint stains that will probably clear up easily in the sun; the pocket diapers themselves are still stain-free and snowy white inside! UPDATE: at around 6-7 months old as my baby began increasing mobility, all of her diapers began leaking around the legs. This even happened with disposable, and even overnight, no matter the fit. The only solution I found was to get double-gusset covers to go overtop of all of her diapers, including these. Using the covers has stopped all leaks. Personally, my favorite is the Thirsties Duo Wrap (size 2).

Súper bonitos Se sienten de una calidad muy buena Excelente producto

Ich mag die Einlagen sehr gerne. Sie saugen gut. Sie sind schön dünn, weich und flexibel. Für neugeborene kann man die Einlage auch doppelt legen. Da die Einlagen so dünn sind, kann man sie auch super als Boostereinlage verwenden. Sie brauchen nach dem waschen etwas länger zum trocknen aber mich stört es nicht. Hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis auf jeden Fall, ich kann sie weiterempfehlen.

Very nice

Me ha gustado mucho la calidad. Son muy suaves y absorben lo bien que lo pueden absorber. La única pega es que son más grandes que mis pañales de tela, pero eso se arregla mirando las medidas antes de comprarlos. Además cogí una oferta y salieron muy bien de precio.

Ho deciso di acquistare i pannolini lavabili per mio figlio e devo ammettere che è stata una scelta giustissima! Non solo perché si eliminano del tutto i rifiuti ma anche e soprattutto perché questi pannolini proteggono la pelle dei bimbi al punto da non necessitare neppure della cremina per il cambio. Si lavano in lavatrice e vanno in asciugatrice. Io ci metto sopra un foglio di carta di riso (organico) in modo che sia ancora più pratico raccogliere le feci. Adatto a tutti i bimbi!
