Love the idea of better fit. Am I compromising on absorbency compared to regular prefolds? & Premium vs toddler? Moving to Africa need to pack light!

They are smaller than normal prefolds-my grandchild is 6 months old and he uses the inserts. PM me for more information at marthathomasr@gmail.com

These absorb well for us. There the only prefolds I've ever tried. I also boiled for about 40 min and they quilted up nice and thick and shrunk significantly. They lay perfect in a cover I don't imagine I'd be able to wrap around my baby and snappi them. This might sound dumb but I didn't realize before I bought them, these stay very wet on babies bottom. Definitely use with fleece liners or it's like a wet rag on their bum every time you change them :\

I love mine. I boiled mine before using them. It is important not to skip this pre use step. You could wash and dry them many times too. Get the bigger red size and skip the purple edge ones. Our baby was out of those pretty fast. One thing I like to do is get a regular prefold and layer one of these folded inside and snappi or pin it all together. It really keeps the poo off the cover. However once the baby is mobile just packing it in a cover and snap your done is best.

Better fit always leaked for my son. Doubling works, like some of the others suggested, but then you might as well use the regular prefolds. I used premium for a long time until he started regularly leaking/blowing out, then switched to the bigger toddler size and haven't had an issue since. Toddler size is large and can be bulky and affect how pants fit, so you might not want to use them too soon.

These seem very absorbant but I haven't used the regular prefolds so I couldn't answer...

I think you are better off with the larger of the two. Straps are adjustable and the issue of space for shoes and ball is more important. It's not like a school pack where more space for books makes a bag too heavy. Most of the stuff in a soccer bag is light except for the water bottle. Plus as he moves up to full size ball and bigger shoes you'll want the room.

I love them! I have flip diapers also, and I love that I can throw away most I the poop, and toss the diaper cover and pad directly into the laundry! I'm not afraid of poop either haha but it gets everywhere and it can be a real pain to clean! My suggestion would be to try a box, see if you find it's worth it! Good luck!

They work great! Just lay them over the top of the diaper and you might have to tuck the sides of the liner into the diaper a bit once it's on so that it doesn't stick out. We've used these liners with prefolds, pockets, and aio diapers they work well with them all.

Totally worth the cost. They are way thinner than regular prefolds. I used these at night a lot because they held so much. As for size, it depends on the size of your child. I had toddler sized ones because my child was about 12-18 months when we used them and he peed a LOT.

I find it absorbent and not really rough. I think this one is better than Marcal, but obviously, TP is personal preference! :)

I prepped in hot water. I washed them 3 times. They were super absorbent. Im now 4 months in. My son is heavy "front" wetter so I use 2 inserts in his pocket diapers now.

Love your creativity! It will be a little tight... Maybe don't buy too plush a towel and it would work?

we order the flat fold Birdseye diapers for Lutheran world relief not the prefold ones so I couldn't tell you anything about the prefold ones. Sorry.

yes. they are certainly big enough; it's all in how you fold it! you might want to use 2 if the child is larger just for more absorbency, like a double thickness for night, etc.

I also use green mountain diaper and imagine brands and the osocozy are just as absorbent, but they don't fit as well on my chunky baby. They did take several washes before they reached full absorbency but that should be expected.

Its a much tighter fit. The "betterfit" feature is shorter meaning once trifolded it should fot the exact lenght of the cover. With that being said it doesn't have that extra allowance to work with to fold around the baby at the top. So if you want to snappi it buy a size larger or so with the standard or premium not the better fit option

My husband moves around and sleeps on all sides. I put several pairs of different brands on him at all times AND a pair of rubber pants. I do feel that the tranquility are the most absorbent and do like the real-fit depends under them. And a cheaper store brand first. This way I ca

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, they are pricey. I always do an internet check to see if I can get a better price & free shipping or check etsy. Sometimes you can get similar trainers for less. Another idea is to buy kids underwear and sew extra absorbent padding in the crotch area. I've pretty much done it all :-)

You can fold them to fit, you will need to double or stuff with another flat diaper or a prefold to get more absorbency.

They are thinner then regular cloth baby diapers, but not too thin. Think they would work well.
