ALVABABY 6 Pack Cloth Diaper with 12 Inserts One Size Adjustable Washable Reusable Diaper Cover for Baby Girls and Boys

Great quality and so easy!
These Alvababy diapers are great! I’ve used them on my first baby for 8 months, and they definitely hold up after all that use and washing. I have researched a lot about cloth diapering, as I’m sure you have if you’re looking at this product. I’ll try to answer everything I wanted to know before buying these.Sizing: They were a bit too big for the newborn stage, so I ended up not using them for that stage (she was 6 1/2 lbs.); but when she reached about 8 lbs. they would work on the smallest snaps. I love that you can gradually work up and out as needed on the snap size. I’ve used the microfiber inserts the whole time, and as long as I make sure it’s not scrunched up inside the pocket, it works great to keep everything inside and dry. Since she began sleeping through the night (up to 12 hours!), I’ve used two inserts in the pocket, and the diaper doesn’t leak. I have found that one insert will over-saturate and leak after about 5 hours. The diapers are bulkier than disposable, which means that sometimes you need to size up on pants; but that’s not a problem, just an observation.Rashes and creams: We’ve experienced all the different kinds of rashes, but she’s also gotten them while using disposables, so I don’t think that has any particular link to cloth diapers; I think it just comes with the territory of wearing a diaper. 🙂 I’ve used various rash creams and ointments with these diapers (beeswax, petroleum, zinc…), and at first I noticed that the absorption was not as good and there was sometimes a smell after washing and drying. So I changed my washing procedure, and it took care of those problems and they absorb well and don’t smell.Cleaning care: When I take off a used diaper, I drop it into a wet bag that I keep hanging off the changing table. Wet ones go right in; when I was just breastfeeding her, soiled diapers went right in, too, because it is water soluble and washes right out, no stains or residue. Now that we’ve started solid foods and have been using formula, I shake solids off into the toilet, but I don’t scrape or rinse anything that doesn’t fall out. Then I put that diaper into the wet bag. As long as I keep on top of washing them every other day, they don’t stink up the room; but left too long, you know they do! 🙂 To wash, I dump them into the washing machine as is, and drop in the emptied wet bag. I add Tide’s liquid Free and Gentle, just up to the 1– too much soap causes a residue buildup and ruins absorption. I wash it with the hottest water and the fullest water setting (even though it’s a small-sized load) on the “super dirty” setting for the most agitation. Then I wash them again with a few changes: I do not add more soap, I turn the water level down, and the temperature to medium; this is more of a rinse cycle to make sure all the soap, creams, and any extra residue is removed. Finally, they go into the dryer on low heat, and they come out fresh and clean!Discoloration: After 8 months, the diapers still have no stains, even from a bright orange petroleum-based rash medication she was using for a few days. The inserts are beginning to get a darkened grey stain look, but so far their performance is still good. They are not as soft as they were at first, so I think in a few months I will have to retire them from service, but we’re not there yet. Of course, the diapers’ color is not as bright as at first, but you would expect that after washing them 50+ times. I’ve not had any stitches come apart, except a few spots on the microfiber inserts; but it doesn’t compromise their efficiency at all.Conclusion: As I said, this is an excellent diaper, simple to use even for someone who has never experienced cloth diapering before! I give them a hearty thumbs-up. May the beautiful flowers and patterns bring a smile to your face as you care for your sweet little one, even on the hardest days. Happy diapering! 🙂

Alva compared to bumgenius
First let me start by saying that I am new to cloth diapering. And have only recently starting using cloth diapers with my newborn. While I only have two other pocket style diaper brands, bumgenius and imagine, the Alva baby cloth diapers have already impressed me for its style, quality and price. Comparing the Alva to the much pricier bumgenius they are very similar. They both have a stay dry lining that looks and feels very alike and the outer printed waterproof lining also is very similar in feel and quality. Comparing them both side by side, the Alva is larger overall even with both set on the smallest rise. This makes for a slightly bulkier diaper especially on a newborn but I imagine that for a larger baby that won’t be an issue. It might even be a better alternative for chunkier babies and still fit quite well into the potty training stage. Each diaper comes with two microfiber inserts. The insert is not quite as long as the bum genius regular size insert but looks and feels very similar, as well. Stuffing the diaper is a little more work than the bumgenius since the opening of the pocket is at the back end where the elastic is located. It takes a little more work to get the insert to lay just right. Overall, I am very pleased with the diaper so far. I’m hoping that the Alva diapers will be durable but so far I am please with the quality and style and for the price I can invest in a nice collection. The Alva seems to be a nice budget friendly alternative to BG. I will include pictures comparing the Alva to the Bumgenius side by side. Also the Alva insert in the picture is the one in between of the BG regular and newborn insert. And finally, how the Alva looks on a 4 week old 10 lbs. baby.

Muy buenos pañales. Estoy sorprendida de lo fácil que se les quitan las manchas a las cubiertas con solo ponerlas al sol. Los insertos (vienen con los blancos de micro fibra) sí se manchan, pero con vanish las he quitado sin mayor problema.
