Leekalos Cloth Diapers Reusable for Boys and Girls, Baby Diaper Cloth with Inserts & Wet Bag One Size

Bulky and tall for newborns. Better for larger child.
For pocket diapers, these are a good product for the price. The diaper bamboo inserts are very absorbent, and I have never had a problem with leeks for either pee or poo. My baby does have chunky legs though! The fabric that sits against the baby skin is also super soft and feels fairly dry When Wet.This is a one-size-fits-all styled diaper that is meant to fit newborn infants. Of course there is quite a big size difference between a newborn and a one year old so these diapers are a bit bulky for the smaller baby. They are also rather tall even when snapped down to the smallest size, so for my 12 pound 3month old they nearly cover her belly button still. This is a problem when the diaper is soaking wet as it seems like the fabric does wick moisture all the way up to the top of the diaper.As far as washing, I did find them a bit difficult to spray out when the baby pooped. This is partly because I am still dealing with sticky smeary milk poops, which I know some people don’t bother spraying out as they are water soluble- but I do as it keeps my wet bag from smelling terrible between washes and also reduces staining. The other thing that makes it tricky to spray out is the elastic at the legs which make it very tricky to lay the diaper flat. I have also found that the very absorbent inserts do take a while to dry. I also have prefolds which dry in almost half the time as the bamboo inserts.I have only had these diapers for a month and so I cannot speak into how long they will last, though I can say they appear to be well made. I also have not used the wet bag (already had another one that I’m using) but it is the size convenient for carrying along in your diaper bag!Overall, I’d say these are very nice diapers, but more suited for a larger child. I anticipate liking them better once my child is not so small.

I wish I did this sooner
I’ve always felt guilty about using disposable diapers. But when my daughter was born we were living in an apartment building without an in-unit laundry machine so we decided to stick with disposables and didn’t bother doing any research on cloth diapers. It wasn’t until my friend who started cloth diapering her 2 month old son that I started to reconsider. I’ve since moved into a house with our own laundry machine and my daughter is now 15 months old, who for the most part poops in her potty so we usually get pee diapers only – figured this is a good time as any to try cloth diapers!My friend recommended me this listing as it was one of the more reasonable priced cloth diapers. She especially liked that it is bamboo material which is better for the baby’s skin. After using the cloth diapers for a week, I can say that my daughter adjusted just fine to the cloth diaper, without any skin irritation. Initially there were some leaks, but I realized I just need to make the diaper fit a bit more snug. I do have to change her a bit more often than disposables, which is fine since I don’t want the soaked diaper be against her skin for too long anyway. I have put my daughter in the cloth diaper overnight, but I’ve learned that it does cause some minor rash, since her bum is against a wet diaper for 10+ hours. So for now I’ll stick to disposables for night time, until she gets a bit older and can better control her night time pee.One of the more pleasant surprises I’ve found is how easy it is to clean these cloth diapers! There are two parts, the bamboo insert and then the outer layer. The outer layer is SUPER quick to dry. The bamboo insert takes a bit longer to dry, but hanging it overnight tends to be enough time for it to dry out. I really didn’t want to run a load of laundry every time I want to wash these diapers so glad to find how it is easily washable by hand.So all in all transitioning to cloth diapers is surprisingly smooth, at least with these cloth diapers! Highly recommended for those who are curious about switching over to cloth diapers, and have been feeling guilty for far too long with using disposables 🙂

High quality at a great price
Update- I’ve had these for 3 years and 2 babies now. They look the same as when I bought them. I bought more patterns since my initial purchase to have enough between washes and love them all. They fit from about 10 lbs (8 lbs fits, but I get some leaks overnight especially, no leaks after 10 lbs) to 30+ lb (they fit my 3YO, but he’s potty trained so doesn’t wear them anymore). Really great investment that will save you tons of money over disposables!These diapers are so cute and premium quality. They are very similar to higher priced brands. They come with a very nice wet bag good fro travel or day care, and 6 liners. The liners seem to be thicker and a bit more absorbent than the higher priced brand. You can also see that these similar patterns are equally bright. I thought these would not be as nice given the price point, but I was happily proved wrong. I wanted to compare the two then buy more of the better valued brand and I will be buying more Leekalos. See the pictures, that show Leekalos compared to Alvababy. Also, Leekalos should get bonus points for shipping in one plastic bag versus Alvababy’s 7 plastic bags! I wish neither used any plastic (isn’t that why most of us choose cloth over disposable?), but 1 is far better than 7!

Average quality.
