Thirsties One Size Pocket Diaper Review

Thanks to Tina M for trying out the Thirsties One Size Pocket Diapers and writing up a review for us! Here is what Tina has to say about her experience!

******************************************

Likes:
- No leaks, not even with a newborn breast fed poo-splosion (I used some disposables during this period and it would always end in a blow out).
- The double leg gusset definitely helps with the no-leaking.
- My son is already a heavy wetter and I found this diaper to be very absorbent.
- Cute print(s) (I purchased Scottish Storm).
- Easy to wash, and doesn't take long to dry.


Dislikes:
- It can sometimes be tough to snap the diaper on a wriggly newborn. This is where I can see velcro would be a little easier, but when baby is older, they can undo the velcro a lot easier than the snaps.
- As most cloth diapers, they can be a little bulky for a newborn, even on the smallest snaps.
- I find the pocket really narrow to stuff the insert. I personally don't like the opening on both ends of the diaper for the insert (but you don't have to remove the insert before throwing it into the wash, it agitates out on its own).
- The gussets are white, and with the yellow newborn poo, it stains (hung outside in the sun, still has a light stain).

Wash Routine: My diapers are washed using an HE LG front loader. I rinse on delicate. I use regular powdered Tide detergent at line 3 of the scoop included in the box. I wash on a regular cycle, hot, with extra water (button on machine). I then rinse and extra rinse on delicate. I then either line dry (depending on the weather) or I use the dryer on low.

 
Additional notes:
I used the infant insert only, placed inside the pocket. My son was born August 18, 2014 at 8lb7.5oz, the diaper was used from about that weight until he was about 10lbs. I think it will fit better once he grows a little more. I would definitely recommend this diaper and want to purchase a few more for my collection.

~ AMP One Size Diapers
~ AMP 2 layer hemp inserts
~ AMP bamboo inserts

& NEW to Tiny TreeHugger - AMP hemp wipes

ALSO NEW is the Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted in Size 1 & Size 2! They are great paired with a Thirsties Diaper Cover or Duo Wrap for the perfect adjustable fit and unstoppable performance.

Only the best components come together to make Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted diapers. The internal soaker is composed of spongy microfiber terry that can absorb up to seven times its weight in liquid! A maximum absorbency of 18 oz. makes this diaper appropriate for both light and heavy wetters alike. There is a tunnel behind the soaker which allows for stuffing additional absorbency, and for better washing and quicker drying. Touching your baby's skin is an entirely unique microfleece that is oh-so-soft to the touch and works to keep your baby feeling dry, thereby helping to prevent diaper rash. Finally, the velvety cotton velour outer layer comes in a variety of fresh, fun color options (plus white).

Is it summer time now? Sure feels like it here!  Although it is hard to get used to loving my boys playing in the dirt. We have no grass yet. Just dirt and TONNES of mud after the rains we have had lately. Not something to complain about because after almost 7 long months of renting a dive, we are now in our half completed home that my husband spent so many hours on!  We feel very blessed to have the opportunity to do this. It is quite an adventure.

If you aren't 'connected' to us via facebook or twitter, then I will try to keep you up to date on what is going on around here!  (Especially since I haven't sent out a newsletter lately...)  On the way we have more unbleached infant and premium sized prefolds, also Thirsties NEW Duo Hemp Prefolds!  I absolutely LOVE the feel of their new hemp. It is custom made especially for Thirsties and 25% more absorbent then other prefolds and very trim too!  I don't have too many of these yet in my own personal stash but let me tell you - after wash day is done this is the first one I grab and it is paired great with a duo wrap... 

Also get your AMP preorder in to us before Friday! We are placing an order then. You will get 15% off your preorder. What a DEAL!! Email us if we don't have what you are looking for on our site...

Ok enough fluff talk!  I want to see if anyone has used the Pampers Dry Max at all?  (It's okay to admit it! Even we use disposables and have them on hand 'just in case.') There has been much controversy about them, and about Pampers bashing the use of cloth diapers too! This is what pampers.com's headline said "Pampers Is Committed To Your Baby's Health, Happiness, and Safety."  It still won't convince me, especially when there are so many reports about rashes and bum burns!

Even Huggies are coming out with a patterned diaper that looks like a pair of jean shorts. If you ask me, they are trying to add the cuteness factor just like cloth diapers too!  I wonder when they will come out with a washable one too?  Hmmmm...

That's all my thoughts today! What do you think? Do pictures make a post more exciting?  Next time I will add some for some visual eye candy too :)
