Dappi Nylon Pants Reviews (53) Write Review Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by cristina on Saturday 30 January, 2010These are by far worth every penny! Why:
1. They dry super fast
2. They wash super easy
3. They are super cheap
4. No need to worry about snaps or velcro
5. They do not stain badly, like the Duo which stains terrible on the gusset trims--I am so surprised moms are not bothered by this
I am giving it a 4 star because they only come in white and because they are cut a bit weird (from the same package, one cover is much tighter around the legs and belly than the other cover. Nevertheless, it works great with prefolds and I am getting lots of use out of the NB. My daughter is 2 mo and I have been using them every day since she was 2 wks. I wish they came in more colors. I will definatelly buy them in bigger sizes, if I need them. So far, these and the econobum and the flip are my favorite covers because I can use them with 100% cotton prefolds. I LOVE the BG 3 and I use it at night, but during the day, I want to put cotton on my baby.

I got the newborn size and after reading the reveiws I didn't expect them to fit when dd was born. She was 8 lbs and 21 inches and they were a bit big around the legs, however they did work without leaking. Now she is 12 lbs and the newborn size still fits her, still without leaking! I am very happy with these covers. They are easy to wash, very fast to dry and easy to pack extras in the diaper bag without bulk. They also fit nicely under clothing. Very compact even though they look baggy. They do wick a little bit at the waist and leg bands but only after a soaking wet diaper. So you just rinse it out and lay it out to dry and get another one out. In 20 minutes the first pair will be ready to go again! They do stain a bit but honestly I don't care because they are so inexpensive and work very well. I have not had one leak with these.

And they are cheap. So very happy with these.

Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Mandy on Friday 20 November, 2009 We only have a couple (they came w/ the Kissaluvs diaper package) of the newborn size....and they are Huge! We would surely experience a great deal of leakage if we were to use them on our newborn. Much prefer either the Thirsties or Proraps covers. Maybe they will work okay once we finally grow into them... ?? Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Emily on Sunday 18 October, 2009 We have used these for the last year, and love them! My son is chunky, and they fit great- he is in the mediums and larges (depending on the size of the prefold underneath) at almost 22 lbs. We use these all the time, and occasionally at night. No leaks over snappied prefolds and they fit well under clothes. They are gentle on his thighs and there is no aplix to rub when sitting. You do have to fasten the diaper underneath, we also have bsww for trifolding or use over snappied prefolds.

This is much cheaper than buying training pants! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Karen on Friday 17 July, 2009 I just love these covers....they hold up well and they are inexpensive. I have washed them over and over again and been using them a year and a half and they still look great. I just ordered new ones...just to have extra. Great purchase! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Tonya on Friday 03 July, 2009 I love these covers more than any of the others I've tried and the price is GREAT. In fact, I just got online to order more. My daughter was 6 and a half lbs at birth and I started using these a week after she was born. They are a little big but I have had surprisingly few leaks. They are soft and they fit nicely under clothes, not adding much bulk. Another thing I love about them is that I can rinse them out quickly with hot water and a tiny bit of soap, if needed, and put them in the sun to dry. They dry very quickly and the sun takes out every single vestige of a stain. Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Jackie on Thursday 02 July, 2009 These leak moisture at the waist and thighs way too often. I hate putting these back on after a diaper change with wet elastic. The elastic is also very loose and the diaper will come out of them leaking all over my baby's clothes. Definitely not recommended overnight as they have leaked every single time. These are my last resort covers. Thirsties are a much better buy.

Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Ashley on Wednesday 24 June, 2009 The newborn size in these is ridiculously large. They wont fit my baby for a long time. Also, they look silly and uncomfortable. I bought a bunch of these after reading the reviews thinking they would be perfect and it turns out they are a complete and total flop. I wish I'd gotten more of the thirsties covers, which aren't just cute, but they actually fit my newborn and they work wonders. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Bethany on Saturday 06 June, 2009 LOVE these! There was even a point where I loved them more than the thirsties covers. My baby seems to be between sizes right now though and I do have occasional leaks as his thighs, the diaper bulk, and the rise aren't quite right. I still have less leaks than with disposable though and my baby is unusually proportioned. 7 months and 25 lbs, tall but very chubby too. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Natasha on Thursday 04 June, 2009 I got some of these in Large, which is the correct size for my 18-month-old boy (30 lbs), and have been using these about a month now with pre-folds and a Snappi. This combination is a little bulkier than a disposable, but I've been able to get my child's clothes on him fine anyway.
There have been NO leaks, even with some horribly icky-runny messes and a super-active toddler. (This is better than I can say for the leading brand of disposables, which I previously used.) Easy to wash -- in fact I accidentally washed some in hot water and it didn't seem to do them any harm. One stained a little, but I used Biz on it.
These were leaving some red marks on my son's thighs, but I was able to eliminate this problem by making sure the leg holes are high-enough up on his leg & the diaper is completely inside.
The one huge problem is getting them off when they're soiled with a stinky mess, since they have to come over the feet. With a particularly nasty "job" to clean up that didn't stay inside the cloth diaper, this can mean washing the changing-table cover and possibly the baby, too.
With a toddler, I can predict pretty easily when he's going to do # 2, so I will probably get some Dappi diaper covers (the kind with Velcro-style fastners that wrap around -- wish Cotton Babies would start carrying them) to use at those times of day, and use these the rest of the time. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Susan on Thursday 04 June, 2009 I am new to cloth diapering. I just got these a week or so ago but I love these. I was using some newer gerber ones and some older gerbers that I had gotten from a friend. The Dappis are so much nicer, I love the waistband and legs the material around these are so soft. These also keep him totally dry we haven't had any leaks yet. He actually had an explosive poopy the other day and these kept it all in no leaks his disposables would have leaked. I am planning to order more of these soon. Ps. cottonbabies were very quick to get the order out to me, great doing business with them Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Sara on Wednesday 03 June, 2009 I recently purchased several of these Dappi nylon diaper pants. My son has worn them everywhere- and I mean everywhere; he has sat in the dirt, tussled with the dog, and ridden his little trike in nothing but his Dappi pants covered diaper- and they have held up beautifully! I have not had a single leak, even overnight. Yes, they do stain, but so do his other clothes that go where he goes. They are soft and light, and do not make his skin hot like other diaper covers, even the expensive pul ones. And I love the way I can get several uses between machine washes just by swishing them in the sink and hanging them to dry. I should have gotten some long ago. They are the best combination of economy and performance/ quality that I have come across in the diaper cover world.

I had gotten some as a gift when my son was born and then I actually got a pair off diaperswappers recently and they are still awesome! I like my Thirsties, but these are just as good and so much cheaper! Perfect over my fitteds! Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Ashley on Thursday 07 May, 2009 I haven't gotten to use these yet and I will write another review once I have, but the newborn size is huge! There's no way these will fit on any normal newborn! I couldn't believe it when I opened them. =( Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Alexess on Wednesday 29 April, 2009 These are great!! So soft, you can use with more than one diaper change. Easy to do a quick hand wash and hang dry...and affordable!!!!! Go Dappi pants!!! View all 53 reviews |
