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.

& 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).

Streamlining

Here at Tiny TreeHugger, we strive to have plenty of diapers in stock, as well as a wide selection of brands and types of diapers for you to choose from.  However, it isn't always possible to do both, and so we will be streamlining our selection slightly.  We've been in business for about a year now, and we've discovered what's popular and what's not so popular.  So, in the hopes of being able to bring you more of the diapers you love, we've decided to stop stocking 2 diapers - the Knickernappies One Size diaper, and the Happy Heinys One Size diaper (both the aplix and snap closures).  Our current stock of both diapers is now 10% off, so now is your chance to grab the last few of these diapers at a great deal (the Happy Heinys snap closures are already sold out though).  Both of these diapers will be available for purchase in the future by special order, but we will require a pre-paid order of at least 6 diapers (which coincidentally qualifies you for our 5% discount!), and they will take about 3-4 weeks to arrive. 

We want to make our customers happy - if you think we should continue to stock these diapers, let us know!!  If we find that there is a greater demand for them, we will certainly bring them back.
