Is it possible to use with GroVia Kiwi Pie Wool Cover and GroVia Cloth diaper shell? Or is it really better to use with Thirsties?

I've never used grovia but I do use them with flip covers and they work quite well.

I do not have Gdiapers, I have the one size kind that you can snap larger or smaller and I will say, these liners wouldn't fit them when they're snapped small. Only when almost to the fullest size. However, you could probably fold them down a bit to make it work as long as it wouldn't cause chaffing or anything from the thickness.

I don't think you can buy them standalone. I actually have hemp inserts that I got from BabyKicks JoeyBunz and I prefer them for a stand alone doubler. The thirsties version can be unsnapped from the microfleece layer, but it does have snaps on it, so you'd want to only turn the soft side toward the baby if you do decide to use it without the fleece layer. I like the thirsties inserts for absorbancy in a quick trip out and about, but if your kid #2s in their diaper, it's a bit of a mess because it gets all over the cover!

You can put the bamboo side against the baby's skin...just not the microfiber side. These make for a great AI2-style diaper when paired with a cover, and you don't need as many covers this way compared to pockets!

Yes, but they are on the small side for me. I love and highly recommend GroVia's liners if that is your need. These are better for adding a staydry layer between the diaper fabric and your baby's bum.

I use a fleece liner on my diapers just to be on the safe side. I also use grandma el's cream without any issues with repelling.

You can use a snappi. I usually just fold them like regular and fasten the diaper cover with out a snappi though.

I've read several opinions on this... I haven't tried them yet because my son is still too little to fit these diapers... some people say they put liners in the pocket & put liners on the inside of the cover to get several uses... hope that helps a little...

Yes. You should change the shell when you change the insert. This is a pocket diaper. The insert goes in a pocket, and that touches the baby's skin. This "pocket" also gets wet or poo on it, so it should be changed. There are 2 inserts per diaper. I have found one is great for daytime and 2 gets me through the night! If you want a diaper that you reuse the shell, I would recommend either the flip system or econobum. Both are great. I have noticed that I almost always have to change the shell as well. EBF poo, rarely misses the leg gussets on diapers, or so is my experience. I would not recommend best bottom. I have used the newborn alva pockets with a g-diaper insert layed on top of the pocket. I can then take the insert out and reuse the shell. I have been able to get a couple of diaper changes out of one that way, but this is not what is intended, and I would not use the included microfiber insert for this purpose.

My daughter is almost 5 months old and 15 pounds. While i have been using this diaper since she was about 10 pounds,and loving it, we use it exclusively for night time as i still find it too bulky for daytime after snapping it down to fit her. I imagine this will change when she is bigger. We use it with a disana wool cover and this has been a bulketproof night time system. I have also used it with a blueberry one size snap cover and it worked great also. I cannot say enough good things about the pooters diaper. So well made, so absorbent, easy to wash. We love pooters. Hope this helps.

I use the waterproof changing pad liners in mine. They fit perfectly and I can take them out easily to was when needed. I use the Boppy brand because the Graco ones aren't waterproof.

I use the thirsties covers. I lay the cotton diaper on the cover then fold it to fit and snap the cover closed. Easy as that!

I would definitely go with flats. At least two dozen. Look up "origami fold" on YouTube. I use the same diapers with the origami fold for my five month old and my three year old who is still not potty trained. Close them with a Snappi and cover them with Dappi brand nylon cover. The nylon covers are easy to hand wash, and dry incredibly quickly. I've had to rinse one off at a rest stop, and lay it out in the trunk to dry, and it was dry the next time we stopped on the road (usually in about 1-2 hours).

I don't use disposable liners so I can't answer your question easily. What I can say is that these are just like any other pocket diapers. So if you can use the liners you wish to use with pocket diapers (say bumgenius, blueberry, hero, etc) then you can use those liners with these diapers.

I use them for one size pocket diapers, but have never tried them specifically with one size thirsties.

You could use it as is but I have bought Aden and Anais cover to protect the changing pad. As well, when the little one was a newborn I used a removable liner that I would put every time (Just in case...You'll see you will change more than 1 changing pad cover as the little one will find a way to do something on it).

I made a wool mattress proctector, or could use a old style city nappy/diaper. Never had any issues. Would clean easily
