    These things are great! I've never had a blow out with them or any leaks. But they do SEEP, and if you're not careful, the can soak EVERYTHING on or near baby.
    What happens is this: the inside of the diaper is waterproof - awesome. But the nice white edging on the diaper is all cloth. As such, it's very soft on baby's skin, but it is also very absorbent. So if moisture from a wet pre-fold diaper seeps onto the edging, it soaks the edging and then the edging soaks baby's clothes and everything baby has on. And this happens often because of the silly little sizing tag that hangs down in the back of the diaper. The tag will get wet, then the wet seeps onto the edging, then the wet edging seeps onto clothes, blankets, etc. Ugh.
    The solution is simple - just cut the tags out. Or it would have been easier for Thirsties to make them with printed in tags so you don't have to guess as to the size when you cut the tags out.
    Otherwise:
    Fit: great! They fit pre-folds lovely. Very adjustable. I've never seen a blow out.
    Clean up: Urine is no problem. I find that nearly every poo requires me to change the cover also and wash it, but the poo stays in the cover and does not leak. Since the covers are cheap, I bought 6 of each size I need. (I do about a load of whites a day, so a few are always being cleaned.)
    Washability: GREAT! these things have gone through the washer so many times and still look fine. they haven't stained for me.
    Comfort: no diaper rash and counting. and baby doesn't have wrinkles on her butt like she gets from disposables
    Hassle: for a cloth diaper, minimal. pre-folds (Well, at least the ones I use) don't "wick" away moisture, so I never leave her in them for long, so I change her diapers more often with the cloth. I do NOT travel with these or leave them for sitters. these are at-home, mom-or-dad-on-duty only diapers. but since that's most of the day, it's awesome.
    Economy: great! they hold up, last for a long time with adjustability, and were cheap for a very nice product
    Looks: they do give baby a big butt, but seriously, it's not like baby has a really svelte figure anyhow. they do require me to dress her a size bigger for a good fit, though.
    OVERALL: nice! just fix that stupid tag in the back thing and these would be perfect (but again, you can just cut them out)

    When my husband and I decided to cloth diaper our son, we first invested in one of each of the most popular kinds of cloth diapers, including both prefolds and pocket systems. For wraps we tried the Bummis super whisper wrap and the thirsties. The Thirsties are by far and away better.
    1. They fit his body better because the waist can accommodate the typical baby budda belly more comfortably.
    2. The cut of the legs fits his legs better, whereas the Bummis always gaps.
    3. The fabric of the Thirsties is more flexible. By comparison, the Bummis feels cheap and stiff.
    4. The gusset at the leg of the Thirsties prevents leaks and also better distributes the tightness of the elastic better so it doesn't cut into my baby's skin.
    When using them with the prefolds, you have to make certain that the wrap completely encloses the prefold diaper around the leg. If it doesn't, you can get leaks. But if you fit them correctly and make sure the cotton prefold is entirely tucked inside, they are perfect!

    I was impressed with this cover. I bought several different brands before my daughter was born and this was one of my favorites. My daughter was tall and slender and it fit around her legs better than others. For a chubbier baby, it might not have been such a good match.

    ...And Thirsties is the best! We have been using Thirsties Diaper Covers for over 18 months now & LOVE them. We have tried several other brands, but always come back to Thirsties for one reason or another. These covers are so pliable...they definitely are the most comfortable for our baby and allow him to move about. Other wraps are stiff and bulky and don't seem very giving on our active baby. The gussets are a must- have and really work well to contain messes. I use Thirsties Covers in combination with their fitted diapers and we very rarely spring a leak. LOVE all the colors, too!

    I purchased these to use over Kissaluvs and they have worked well. Although we use both cloth and disposables, we have not had a "blow-out" or a leak in these. (We have had "blow outs" with disposables). I give them 4 stars because they do restrict movement in the legs a bit- that could be the cover or it could be because the diaper is so thick but either way it looks a bit uncomfortable sometimes. Overall, we are very happy with them! Size note: my son was 7 1/2 lbs when he was born and the smallest size worked but was not necessary, X-small is what I have used most and he is almost 15 lbs now- still using them.
