These covers are very good and I have never had any leaking issues... even when messes escape the diaper underneath. They are very cute, too, which is a plus. However, my baby reacted badly to the elastic around the legs. The elastic gets wet even when the diaper is not soaked, and the urine-soaked elastic abrades her delicate skin. I end up having to use a new cover with every diaper change. I have tried everything I can think of and even sought out the help of customer service at Thirsties, but these abrasions continue. Finally, I bought some BG AIO's and problem is solved. I really liked my Kissaluvs fitteds and Thirsties covers, but I'll only buy BG AIO's from now on.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! These are the best covers we have used and all we use now. The tabs overlap which is great when you first switch to a new size, the elastic at the top holds everything in, even with BM poo!! They are easy to wipe out and as long as you close the tabs when you wash them they last. We haven't had any problems with the velcro coming off or getting worn out. We use them with chinese prefolds and they are it for us!!! Plus what fun colors.

These are good covers, not too bulky and great at keeping messes contained. My only problem with them is the velcro tabs don't stay put during washing.

These covers work well and are so cute! We've never had a mess. They hold up better if you don't put them in the dryer (they dry pretty fast on their own anyway). My daughter is pretty chunky and at 4 months, I'm about to switch her to the medium size. She still fits okay in the small, but now that she's discovered her feet, she can undo the velcro with all her movement. I think her chunky thighs are to blame! I use them with the Indian prefolds. Four covers per size are enough. Overall, these are great covers and I will keep buying!

My 29 lb 2 year old is still using the Mediums! I was skeptical when we moved into the M when he was 8 months but they are still going strong! I love how generous the sizes are so they really cover the whole diaper. I learned early on though not to put anything with velcro tabs in the dryer, so my covers all still look and work like brand new. We will definitely be using these for our next!

We have since switched to the Flip and BG (wanted a one-size option), but I liked these covers a lot. My son went through two sets (x-small and small), and aside from the fact that it was hard to get stains out of the gussets, I don't have any major complaints. (FWIW, I discovered that Dr. Bronner's unscented liquid soap did a GREAT job of getting stains out of the gussets. Wish I'd learned this sooner.) We put the first set through the washer and dryer, and this seemed to make them wear out pretty quickly (still usable, but sort of beat-up). With the second set, I line-dried them, and they're in great shape. I'd advise avoiding the dryer whenever possible.)

I only bought one of these in the x-small for my newborn. I could use it right away and it fit great even before the umbilical chord stump fell off. I love the leg gussets and the super soft edges. The velcro is nice and strong but not stiff and holds up well in the wash. Very roomy for a prefold including doublers. Never had a leak or a blow out. This is a great cover and I am still using this size for my 13 Lb. 2.5 mo. old. Very adjustable at waist. Awesome cover. Great color choices too!

After buying several for both kids and using them a little less than a year I am replacing all of them with a different cover. The velcro is coming off, laundry tabs have come off completely on one cover nearly tearing the PUL, inner gussets are loose and several other problems. They still don't leak, but I can't have the velcro fall apart on me. I used these a lot, so maybe that's the problem. But I was hoping I wouldn't be paying another chunk of money for a bunch of covers less than a year after getting a bunch. I won't even be able to sell them cause of all the problems with them. I wanted and did love these for a while. But I wouldn't recommend them to anyone using them as their only cover choice. They are only good for part time use so as not to wear them out in 6-8mn. It's really sad they last such a short time cause they work AWESOME when they are in good shape. I am unwilling to give them a straight 1 or a straight 5. A 3 seems appropriate since they do work for a little while and they work well for that short period of time.

I loved these for my newborn, up until she was 6-8 weeks old. she started getting red whelps on her thighs. I don't think she's allergic as we've been using them for almost 2 months until the breakout. I like the velcro, but some are starting to curl and peel on the edges. I do like the fit + the 2nd gussets at the legs. they keep newborn explosions well contained.

this is a great cover! the gussets work so well, and these are well made and hold up nicely. my only complaint is that sometimes the velcro scratched my baby's skin, but this is true of many velcro style covers and diapers. fun colors too!

These covers fit my chubby baby very well. They are thin and flexible and don't leave red marks on her like some other covers do. They are definitely my go-to cover for her. I haven't had any leaks and they are holding up well so far.

I haven't used a wide variety of covers, but these have been in use on two boys for 6 mos. I got 3 in each size, and have been reasonably happy with how they function with prefolds. My biggest frustration has been when they first move into a size - the PUL is thinner than say a Bummis SuperBright, which I used for a while as well. With the Thirsties, I have a problem with buckling at the waist, and the velcro irritating baby's belly. It didn't seem to be as much of a problem with the (seemingly better made) Bummi's SB. I also think the waist elastic tends to wear out faster, making it harder to get a good fit on my older boy, who runs about 50th percentile. I get wicking at the waist quite a bit at night, even with two PF's in the cover, and clothing waistbands seem to work their way down and wick out pee. *sigh* I don't know if this is the nature of PF's and covers, or if I'm just doing something wrong. I hand wash the covers and hang dry, have put them in the dryer just a few times. They do hold some stink, I've been soaking them with a bit of BacOut, dish detergent and either baking soda or borax and that works well. Maybe if I had more covers to rotate it wouldn't be so bad. I would buy this cover again, but I'm going to try the Bummi's SB for a while to see how they do in comparison.

On some of my diapers the PUL is wearing off so I bought one of these covers so that I could still use them (like a fitted). They work great, they're really bullet proof. I've started using it when I know we're going to be out or in the car for a long time and I need to make sure there are no leaks.

My favorite covers by far! Great fit, never had a leak problem at all and they come in great colors! I love the double gussets and the feel of the PUL - it feels breathable. They dry quickly on the line. I think they are the perfect cover. Be advised that they run large and having the X-Small is a good idea for a newborn (even a big one).

at first i loved this cover, but my 18 month old soon figured out how to open the velcro and now takes it off as soon as i put it on him. i think a cover like this is good for smaller babies who dont move much and cant take it off. on a plus side, i have NEVER had a leak with this cover and the fit is pretty nice.

We have been faithful Dappi cover/prefold/Snappi users with our almost-20 month old. To splurge, we decided on the Thirsties, size medium. Within 5 uses the velcro, on both covers, ceased to function. I thought maybe there were too many folds, maybe I needed to be more meticulous in the washing care, but finally concluded that I will not purchase or use these anymore. Were it simply a size issue, I'd pass them on but don't think the next user would have much more luck. I wish it weren't so!

i bought a few of these to use when my son was born in april and i LOVE them! we only used them for everyday for the first few weeks till his cord fell off, but after that, i found that they're GREAT for the pool as well! they contain the mess w/out soaking up all the pool water, and i don't have to throw away my money on disposable swim diapers. now that my older son has grown out of one-size bumgenius diapers, i'm thinking about getting some more thirties covers to use w/ prefold or homemade diapers till he potty trains! :)
