One Size Pocket Diaper Snap, Aqua

I really, really wanted to love this diaper. After cloth-diapering two previous babies I knew what I liked: Pockets. My favorite brand was no longer being made (Preston's Pants), and I had a pile of older and new Blueberries that fit my little one OK but not great. The biggest issue I was trying to resolve was this: My little one has ginormous thighs. At 7 months old they were 11" in circumference, with baby having a 17" waist and overall weight of around 18lbs. Several other reviewers seemed to feel these fit their chunky babies so I was ready to give them a whirl.They just don't cut it for my thunder thighed offspring. We are on the largest of the leg snaps and the largest of the waist snaps, and at 8 months old will probably outgrow this diaper by 9-10 months and 20+ pounds.The diaper itself is well made, but the liners were only moderately absorbent (I also have a heavy wetter here). The opening to stuff the pocket from front or back was far more annoying than I expected - I had to work at it to get the liner to fit just right and not sag. As for the leg gusset - it is a nice addition, but I also question the "patent" for it - leg gussets were very common when I started CD-ing over 8 years ago, and I really question the integrity of the person who decided to patent what was a commonplace design feature.The pattern was cute enough, although it seems upside-down unless you see your baby crawling away from you. I thought the plain color choices were muddy and ugly otherwise.Overall, if you have skinny or petite babies this may work for you. We are still looking for a solution to the chunky thigh diaper problem, ourselves.****Update**** May 28, 2014 *****This diaper actually lasted one more week after the initial review was written before it was too small to wear. This is a baby that was still around 18+ lbs, and just under 9 months old. Very disappointing to say the least!Edited on 11/22/14 to fix the 11" diameter to circumference since my little one's thighs are indeed not quite THAT chunky :)

My first experience with Thirsties were the duo one size. Yes, I liked the diaper, but no I did not like the fact that my skinny legged (75% height, 3% weight) grew out of the size 1 pocket diaper at barely 4 months, as the rise was too low and she loves to be on her tummy. Then, I discovered the OS pocket diapers. While I've had issues with my BG 4.0's repelling and leaking at daycare and at night, these pocket diapers have been bulletproof. (And yes, I've gone through the whole stripping, bleach, etc- I feel that BG suedecloth just can't handle my super-fast peeing baby whereas thirsties fleece can). No repelling, and the hemp/MF combo is great for super soaker babies. I can sleep easy at night when she has these on, knowing I won't have to deal with a wet and cold screaming baby at 3 am. Our alternative choices at night include Thirsties fitted with a Wollybottoms organic interlock cover which works equally well. I've bought 5 more of these pockets and seriously considering de-stashing my 30+ stash of BG 4.0's because of my new-found love for Thirsties OS. I hope to update this later on and hopefully do not have the repelling/leaking issues that I'm currently dealing with my BG's. Fingers crossed! My only wish is that the Thirsties company considers choosing darker colored piping/lining for their diapers, as white lined gussets can be difficult to sun out- that is my only complaint. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend.

These are my least favorite from my Grovia's, Bum Genius and AppleCheeks. They are a bit snug for a one size pocket diaper. My 7 month old is average size at 16 lbs so it makes me feel like these will be the first he will out grow. I will admit though that because they are on the slimmer side they fit nicely under his clothes right now (but so do my Grovia's). The leak protection is great and the inner gussets are my favorite part of this diaper. They also clean very nicely and the blackbird design is so pretty. The really nice part is the combination of inserts that can be used with this one size. I use the stay dry duo insert, 2 cotton velour doublers together as 1 insert or with the duo hemp prefold. The 2 lost stars are due to the fitting on my child, at first I made them too tight but once I got a proper fitting it still made marks on my baby's legs. I want to love this diaper because it's made in the US and so many recomend but I don't think I would get another since this is usually my last pick.

I originally bought the prefolds and thirsties cover and it worked well for me but did not wick the moisture away as well as the pocket diapers. The only complaint I have of this pocket diaper is that the insert is not as wide and when the baby pees it will seep through the sides and get his clothes wet at times. I used these a lot when he was a newborn now he is 4 months and I tend to reach for the bumgenius. I am new to cloth diapering and love it. Pocket diapers seem to work best for us vs. prefolds. You spend a lot of money up front but over time will save. My son was a preemie and we spent probably $200 on disposables in the first 2.5 weeks.

First, on a positive note, this diaper is adorable. I bought this pocket-style diaper after I migrated towards AIOs and pockets. I started off with prefolds and Thirsties covers and quickly grew lazy with those. Loved the Thirsties covers and thought I'd give their pocket a shot. Unfortunately, not such a huge fan. It seems very small for a one size diaper. Comparing it to my BumGenius pockets, it's quite a bit smaller. Since my son is only 11-weeks old and 15 pounds, it's not a problem now. I just anticipate him sizing out of this one sooner. My least favorite quality about this diaper, however, is how narrow the actual pocket is. It's open at both the front and back, which means that you don't have to pull the stuffing out after baby soils it (it agitates out in the washing machine), but, the pocket is *really* narrow. Like, I have small lady hands and can barely stuff it narrow.

Great diaper, I love that it comes with both microfibre and hemp. Some leaking around the legs for my 2 month old, but that changed when I added a doubler and his legs chubbed up a bit more. I do recommend for 11 lbs and up. I've bought more since my first Thirsties pocket, and plan on buying more. Great price, North American made and super-cute prints.

My favourite pocket diaper! Narrow between the legs. Extra gusset to prevent leaks. Adjustable ride. Nice wide pocket opening front and back so insert agitates out in the wash. Pricey but hope to get my monies worth through use.

I love this diaper! Fit my son when he was over three months, as it didn't fit him as well when he was a newborn. I lobe the two inserts and the gussets keep everything... contained ;) I recommend this diaper, and I plan on buying more.

Good fit and absorbency.

Fits him perfectly.
