So I have happy heiney pockets and prefolds with thirsties and bummis covers. I want to add a couple more pockets to my stash (want more colors!) but I have no clue what I should buy. I am happy with the ones I have but I may want to explore brands. What are your favorites? Also any recommendations for a nice cloth swim diaper with snaps? Thank you!
-
We use BGs (mostly Elementals) and love them! Overheard good things about iPlay, Bummis, and Imse Vimse swim diapers.
-
My favorite pocket diapers were Bum Genius 4.0'sand Rump-a-Roos. My favorite AIO is Ragababe. Cannot go wrong with a Ragababe! Do you want absorbency in your swim diaper or no? If not I would suggest the Apple Cheeks swim diaper. It is just mesh, so it will only contain solid messed really, but LO never went in his and it was great and snaps on. You can also use a regular diaper cover you already have as a swim diaper. We also had iplay swim diapers but they do not snap on and have some absorbency in them.

@Weagle: Thank you! I'm thinking about trying BG's.
@anbanan15: I've never heard of ragababes, I will look into those. I havr no clue if I want an absorbent swim diaper...is that important? My lo does pee a lot lol. -
My favorite pockets are BG 4.0s! They are pretty awesome. My favorite AIO are Peachy Greens. They are side snapping and are super trim and come in adorable prints. Plus, they are made in the US and are made from organic materials.
-
@zippylef: Thanks, I will look these up. Are AIO's really absorbent? I double stuff my pockets for daytime use for reference.
-
@cheesetomywhine: YES. Hemp and bamboo are both insanely absorbent. I've never had to double stuff my PGs and she's worn them overnight.
-
Another vote for the BG 4.0's!
-
@zippylef: Wow! Maybe I should get some bamboo and hemp!
Plus some BG's.
@Beebug: Thank you! -
@zippylef: not to thread jack, but would you recommend getting the pg hemp doubler to use in bg 4.0s and free times?
-
@StrawberryBee: For hemp doublers for pockets, I recommend get the Baby Kicks/ Joey Bunz hemp ones. They're amazing. You can get them on Amazon, they come in s/m/l.
-
Swim diapers and Pockets: Applecheeks. They make a great swim diaper as well as a great diaper that can be used as a pocket or AI2.
-
@cheesetomywhine: Personally I liked not having any, but some public pools require them for the CD to be used.
Ragababes are hard to get your hands on! You have to have fast fingers, but they have become a little easier more recently, especially in the smaller sizes
You have to watch their Facebook page for stockings dates/times. http://www.ragababe.com/@zippylef: I have always wanted to try one of these! I have heard amazing things but always put off buying one because side snapping never seemed to fit well on LO's chunky thighs but they might now that he is leaner.
-
@zippylef: thank you so much!
-
@StrawberryBee: jumping in
I love my 4.0 pockets but hate the microfiber inserts they come with.
I also really like my Thirsties pocket diaper and the insert that comes with them is great.
-
@T.H.O.U.: thanks!! I've heard that about the microfiber, so I want to be sure that we're set up as much for success as possible :). Will look into thirsties!
-
@StrawberryBee: I layer my MF with the hemp. MF is fast absorbing but doesn't hold as much. Hemp is slower to absorb but hold way more. I like to put the MF on top of the hemp to keep the moisture away from her skin.
-
My favourites so far are AppleCheeks! They fit super well, less bulky than a couple other brands I have and if you use them as a pocket they unstuff themselves in the wash!
-
@StrawberryBee: Awesome questions! Thanks for asking
-
@T.H.O.U.: Do you use the thirsties duo diapers? I love our thirsties covers so these intrigue me!
-
@lolabee: Thanks! Awesome about not having to unstuff.
-
@cheesetomywhine: yea. The duo diaper. I love that you don't have to unstuff before washing.
-
@T.H.O.U.: Awesome I will take a look at them.
-
@zippylef: awesome, that was my plan. We'll see how it goes in August ;).
@cheesetomywhine: thank you for being so understanding over the fact that I completely hijacked your thread! The swim diaper recs are super helpful
