My first experience in cd'ing, and I started my newborn (6lbs. 12oz) in this Thirsties Diaper Cover size xs with prefolds. Have to say I love it! No leaks at all, fits nice, and looks like it will last for a while before I move on to the next size. I am much more satisfied with this cover than the Bummis. Highly recommend this cover!

wanted to say I've been using these for 2 years now (various sizes) and the mediums for over one year and they are still holding up great.

I adore my thirsties covers! I'd read reviews before I purchased them that swore they never leaked, and they don't. They're insanely easy to have ready and put on baby, you don't have to use snappis like you do with some other types of diaper covers, and they stay clean enough to wipe down, air dry, and reuse in a day. I love them and can't say enough about them. They're great to have in my diaper stash. They rank right up there with my BG and Flip covers. The only one up I'd say they have is that there is more color variety with Thirsties.

Okay, I like these covers, but I have to admit it's mostly because I am a junkie who loves to have a little of everything! My favorite thing about the Thirsties is the variety of color choices. I like that the binding and leg gussets are white (my red one goes great with all my little guy's STL Cardinals stuff!), but I was disappointed when the inner gussets discolored almost right away (first or second use). I do also like that the velcro tabs seem better (have held up better with months of use) than those on other brands' covers. I do NOT prefer them to Flip, Bummis, or even Econobum because these covers feel very damp inside when the diaper/insert is wet. The front flap especially gets damp, whether I tuck the diaper or insert under it or leave it on top. This front flap is made of PUL fabric, but it is folded over and sewn so that the outside fabric (not the waterproof backing) lays against baby's skin in front (or against the diaper/insert if you don't tuck it under), so of course it gets wet. For this reason I hardly ever reuse without washing, because even a wet diaper/insert makes it wash-worthy. I will reuse in a pinch, but fear a rash. :(

These are amazing I can use the same cover over and over again. The only disadvantage to these covers is that you do not need to buy more than a couple, so it is hard to rationalize buying every colour!! I highly recommend these covers I had the Bummis super brites before and they leaked awfully I thought it was my pre-folds but I was wrong. I have had ZERO leakage with these. When I first recieved them I almost sent them right back because they look so flimsy and uncomfortable, but I was so wrong they fit better and are definitely more comfortable on my little ones, no red marks like with the Bummis. Like someone said previously buy just one and try it out you won't want any others, plus they are cheaper than the others.

I like the Thirsties Diaper Covers, they are the only cover I have currently and have been using the on and off for almost a year now. I have had leaking issues with them which has made it difficult to convince my family that it is worth using cloth. The first leaking issue I have is with the leg gussets. The elastic starts to get wet as soon as the diaper becomes moist and starts to wick out onto everything else. It is much worse when my daughter is very active. I can't imagine the mess if she ever had a loose bm in these. My daughter is 19 months now and they work great at night now, but when I first started using them they leaked every night. With a doubler in the diaper the bulk would make the diaper gap when she rolled on her stomach. With out the doubler, the prefold would get too soaked and leak out from every opening. When I actually wrap the cloth diaper (traditionally with the use of a snappi) instead of using like an insert by sticking it up under the front flap, the front flap gets wet and wicks the moisture out the top of the diaper also making a mess.

Fabulous covers! These are the only covers that I have ever used... (I use prefolds and covers at homes.. and one-size pockets at daycare) so I don't have anything else to compare them to. BUT.. I have never felt the need to ever try anything else out. They are so great.. the fit is great (my 8 month old is still in smalls with plenty of room to grow).. they never leak.. they are just all around an excellent cover. They do leave red marks on my daughter's chunky thighs but they don't bother her.. so they don't bother me :). This cover, in my opinion, is definitely worth the money and more. It is a relatively cheap option, but is still very nice. My advice (as others have said) is to hang them to dry. My velcro looks untouched but I have never put them in the dryer.

In my opinion, these are some of the best and more affordable wrap style covers around. While not essential the wide range of bright colors are lots of fun. I like to order all one color for each size so that when digging through the drawer it's easy to tell each size apart, especially if diapering two different age children at once. The gussets saved us from many a blow-out. Even if the poo gets on the cover, it almost never escapes the diaper. These are by far my favorite cover. They are easy to use, reliable and durable. I have had some minor staining on the white trim on the gussets on a few of them, but that seems to happen with almost any cover I’ve used.

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.

(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.)

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 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.

By morning his diaper and doubler were soaked front to back and all the way through and the cover leaked at the waist due to heavy wetting and likely the loose fit of the waist. The problem I have with this cover is that it left deep indentations on his thighs. These will probably not work well for a mobile baby with this type of fit. My recommendation is if you purchase several of these to only wash and try one so that you can return the others if it doesn't work out for you.

They are also holding up much better with washings than any of the other wraps I have tried. This is the ONLY wrap I will be buying from now on.

I just started cloth diapering a few months ago. I didn't know what to get, so a got a little of everything. The thirsties dieaper covers are by far my favorite covers (compared to bummies, and 'old school' plastic pants). My two favorite things about them, are they don't retain odor when wiped off, and they are not as big or bulky. Hope this is helpful.

I love these covers. They are very cute and have always prevented BF poop blowouts. We use them with the Kissaluvs contours which do leak big blowouts, so the cover is all that is keeping them in! I would give them a five-star rating, but we have had urine leakage. I think my son is a soaker, though (no std for comparison, but I'm pretty sure!), so if your kid isn't, it shouldn't be a problem. The size range seems more generous than the charts indicate as well. My son is 4 months old and about 15 lbs and still fits into the XS easily (though if your child is in this range get the S because they will fit now and last you longer). He is a skinny kid - no chubby thighs - but I'm still impressed! Hope this helps! (Oh, and if you need to prevent overnight leakage, we have used the bum genius one-size-fits-all with both inserts overnight with great success.) Hope this helps!

Why aren't all diapers designed like this cover? No leaks, ever, super thin and not bulky or crunchy, excellent velcro closure that washes well (much better than bumgenius velcro, btw), pretty cute in its simplicity. We use these over bamboo fitteds, or when we are behind on laundry we just put some pocket inserts in these and use them like old-fashioned cloth diapers with this cover. Even though we mostly use pocket diapers, this is an excellent backup to have around. It is so thin and light it doesn't add any bulk over the fitteds. The best feature (aside from never failing): it has an extra little panel in the thigh to keep snug around our son's chunky thigh, unlike other diapers in which pulling the waist tighter results in a poor around-the-thigh fit. Love these. If I were starting again, especially on a budget, I wouldn't hesitate to go with prefolds or fitteds and couple thirsties covers.

Excellent cover! No leaks, works really well with prefolds, and seems to be comfortable on baby. It does not leave any red marks!

I have used Thirsties covers from newborn - size XS up to MD and my now 22-mo. daughter weighs 27 lbs and the mediums still fit! I have also used Bummis, Prowraps, and Imse Vimse covers. These have been by far the most leak-proof and breathable of those. Plus, who doesn't love a brightly colored cloth bum!

I really like the Thirsties diaper cover. I already had a couple Bummis Super Whisper Wraps, but I thought I would try the Thirsties, and I ended up liking it better. There is nothing wrong with the Bummis, it's just personal preference. I like the way Thirsties fit, and I love the leg gussets! Plus, I prefer the large selection of solid colors.

My FAVORITE cover! They are lightweight, the gussets stop every mess from getting onto the clothes, and the slick surface makes it easy to wipe clean and re-use when diapers are only wet. The x-small size were *almost* too big for my 6lb, 5 oz baby, but I am able to overlap the velcro tabs when fastening (which you can't do on Proraps) and make them work. In addition to working well, I LOVE the variety of colors that are available. I started with a variety of covers and have already purchased more of these given that they worked the best!

Thirsties diaper covers are our absolute favorites! They fit wonderfully (better than Bummis), are well made, and contain messes. We have nothing negative to say about them.

These covers are AWESOME!!! I got the size x-small for my 6Lb newborn and they fit better than the small, so i reccomend the x-small for newborns. They dry really fast and are really easy to clean, hold in odors, keep in the poopy messes, and have never once leaked on me! Awesome product, everyone should give them a chance!

I use medium sized covers on my big, chubby 5 month old with premium prefolds and love them. I haven't had any trouble with leaking at ALL. They wipe down well and don't start smelling like pee at the drop of a hat like some other covers I have tried. These covers are extremely lightweight and trim, and minimal velcro on the front makes for a comfy fit on the tummy.

I highly recommend thirsties. They are the covers I most look forward to using. The gussets hold in the most explosive BF poops. One thing you should know is that the sizing is very generous. Our son is almost 2 months old, and I imagine the XS will last us quite a while yet. The colors are great. Overall an excellent value for the money. We prefer them to the Whisper Wraps, primarily because of the gussets. The only complaint I have is that the velco often gets stuck on the white edges and sometimes even rips it.

We started using thirsties when my baby was only a few weeks old and the x-small size worked perfectly. We use them with chinese prefolds and with kissaluvs fitteds and have experienced no problems: no leaks, no wearing, tearing, etc. An added bonus is that we love the fit, feel and look of these covers. We use bummis as well, but definitely prefer these on most occasions. The size small is definitely for a 12-20 lb baby. My daughter weighs around 20 lbs now and she still wears the small very comfortably.

Wonderful cover! I bought two of these about 3 months ago for my now 18 month old daughter. I love the colors, so bright and vivid. The material is awesome, so soft on the outside. They've also held up fabulously, better than any other cover I've had. We machine wash and line dry and after 3 months of daily wear they still look brand new. To top it off, we've never had a leak.

These covers work well for my baby. Haven't had any leaks yet, but I change him often and he is not a heavy wetter. We use these with the Chinese Prefolds and the Cotton Babies Sock. The quality is only ok though. The stitching came out of one of the corners of the gussets after my 2nd wash. Not a big problem. I was able to do a couple quick stitches and its fine again. Its great because it can be used with a few diaper changes. Its very thin (great for our 100+ degree summers) and comes in very cute colors. Even with the ok quality, I would still buy more. All the pros outweigh the only con for me.

I have made major issues with these covers because they leak so bad. I don't think we ever had a time that they didn't leak. What I've noticed is that the seam where the leg gussets are sewn to the cover leak out urine. So you're thinking the gussets are supposed to hold everything in, when actually that's where the majority of the leaking took place. Not happy with these covers at all.
