The diaper is constructed from a waterproof PUL exterior and lined with microfleece. For added wettness absorbtion, there is a single layer of microterry sandwiched between the waterproof and microfleece layer. The insert is made of four layers of microterry and topped with microfleece to wick moisture away from the baby. The insert is attached only at the back of the diaper to decrease drying time. The diaper has an umbilical cord snap as well as 2 different rise settings to ensure a snug fit on babies weighing between 5 and 14 pounds.
We started using this diaper when Homegirl was just a few hours old. It was the very first cloth diaper that she wore. It fit exceedingly well and did not rub her umbilical cord at all. She was on the smallest rise setting for the first month and the elastic around the legs was snug and we did not have any compression leaks. All said. It was a great first diaper!
Right now Homegirl is five weeks old and 11 pounds and just moved the the largest rise setting and still has three snaps to go on the wings. I do think that she will be able to wear this diaper for at least another month. We have not had any leaks or poosplosions aside from one compression leak that I am pretty sure was my fault since I was wearing her in a carrier and hadn't changed her in 2 hours.
Affordability
Thirsties regularly offer sales through their retailers so it is fairly easy to find them for less than the regular price. I was able to get mine for about $11 each from Sweet Bottoms Baby during their earth day sale. Also watch the Thirsties outlet for seconds for some super savings!
Price Comparison
Right now the best price I could find online is at Kelly's Closet for $12.60 a diaper, but you have to purchase a set of six using the coupon code that will be emailed to you once you sign up for their newsletter.
