We use cloth diapers for our son. Although we do buy some disposables for preschool, trips, and over night, I love that we aren't shelling out a ton of money on diapers with each trip to the store. Not to mention that I'm not contributing as much to the landfill!We've been using pocket diapers, but I wanted to try the convenience of an all-in-one. Kushies sent me a package of ultra-lite washable diapers. The five pack for boys featured five different boyish prints. I have to admit that they look so good that I often don't bother putting pants over them when he's running around the house.
These diapers are a little different than I am used to . The taffeta outer fabric swishes a little, kind of like track pants. They are slick. The fit is generous and I think that although they are sized (as opposed to diapers that are one size) they will fit for a while. I snug up the waistband with the hook and loop closures for a good fit.
I haven't had any problems with leakage so far and they are definitely easy to use since I don't have to separate the liner like I do with my pocket diapers.
I've been washing them according to directions and then air drying. I do find that the laundry tabs come undone while washing and they stick together. Maybe there's something I could do to avoid this, but I'm not sure what. (Let me know if you have an idea!)
When ordering from Kushies, you can order in different quantities including a trial pack and a five pack. I love the try before you invest option!

(From Kushies:) The Kushies Ultra-lite All-In-One form fitted washable cloth diaper is easy to use and easy on the environment too. This diaper features five layers of 100% soft cotton flannel with a special absorbent soaker layer inside and a lightweight waterproof shell on the outside. The closure system is hook and loop and the tabs are extended for optimum adjustability and a snug fit. The patented, built in-flap can be folded up for boys or down for girls for extra absorbency. Better for your baby, better for the environment and better for your pocket book.This was written by Leighann who can be read at Multi-Minding Mom where she dishes about family, food, foraging, frivolity, and more!
