Dappi Nylon Pants Reviews (61) Write Review Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Ayrika on Friday 23 July, 2010I love these pants!! I use these with prefolds and pins and they keep my son dry wonderfully! They stain a little, but they keep breastfed poop in without leaking. They are true to size and the price can't be beat! I used Thirsties, Bummis Wrap and Prorap and these are my favorite. I do use BG at night, though. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Charlotte on Wednesday 14 July, 2010 These are SO great! They exceeded my expectations, as a mom of three who is just starting with cloth diapers. I have a skinny one-year-old in diapers now, prefolds with Dappis as a cover. She's 21 pounds, so I got one small and one medium. Both fit, so I'm on here to order a couple more mediums -- I figure I'll get the one she'll keep wearing longest. These covers don't leak at all, even with messy diapers! I don't care the tiniest but about stains on them, or about the puffy look they have. (Who's going to see or care?) People who say they're too big must mean they puff out, but that's fine with me. The elastic bands are soft but leak-proof, and that's all that counts in my book! I heartily recommend these!!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Jennifer on Friday 02 July, 2010 I've used these nylon pants for 2 months now with my daughter, and I love them! I'm using the small, and she still has plenty of room to grow. I agree that they are a little voluminous, but I usually put something else over them (a onsie, diaper cover from her outfit, etc.) and don't think twice. The elastic isn't too tight on her legs, and the nylon is very waterproof. And the price is WONDERFUL! I would highly recommend these to any cloth diapering parent, even if just as a backup cover during washing day. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by KATHERINE on Monday 15 March, 2010 Pluses: lightweight, stretchy leg elastics do not seem to bind. They do seem to be waterproof - we got them to put on over training pants worn around the house. They can be pulled up and down by the child. They are "airy" and provide for good circulation.
Minuses: these are big enough that a slender adult could wear them. We got the ones that are supposedly for 32-35 lbs kids (my son is 32 lbs), but they are voluminous to the degree that my son thinks they are MY underwear. We could fit him into them in a diaper twice over, and the leg gussets hang down around his knees (or I could pull the waistband up to his armpits). There is so much extra room, you could fit a loaf of bread in his pants without squishing it at all. That's how huge these are.

I like that they are roomy, because I think it helps with ventilation. I use with cloth diapers and have never had a leak. These are great for the money! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Lina on Tuesday 02 March, 2010 I LOVE these nappy covers! They work PERFECTLY! I use organic fitted cloth diapers underneath and my son has NEVER has a leak of any kind. I even put them over the fitteds and a wool cover at night so the wool won't wick moisture onto his pajamas. Works like a dream. Rating: [1 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Veronica on Sunday 28 February, 2010 These covers are ridiculously big! My tall, yet proportionate 2 1/2 year old daughter looked like a caricature of herself while she walked around in these. Images of baby new year with an enormous diaper instantly came to mind. I decided to let my daughter put these covers on her dollies. If I could give this cover a 0, I would. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Leah on Sunday 14 February, 2010 By looking at these pants, I'm sure they would work if you have one that would fit your baby. However, the sizing is ridiculous. I have the newborn size, and my baby who is 9 and a half pounds still cannot wear these. They are huge around her waist and thighs. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by cristina on Saturday 30 January, 2010 These 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. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Anne on Tuesday 29 December, 2009 I am really pleased with the dappi pants. 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: [1 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by jenny on Thursday 17 December, 2009 a waste of $5. i had the premee sized for my 12lber and they were still too big! by the time she didn't have leaky gaps in her legs the rise was too short. not worth the aggravation of the messes. 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. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Teresa on Saturday 05 September, 2009 These are great for potty training; my 2 year old wears these over undies. When he wets it holds in the liquid. 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.
