 "Good for Toddlers at bedtime, but probably not infants." | 2010-01-10 |
| - Reviewed By M. Miller |
I bought these for my 4 year old who occassionally wets the bed at night. They are great for this light-duty purpose. My dauther loves the fun designs and they are easy for her to put on/off like panties or she can pretend to be a baby and mom can put it on like a diaper.
I used cloth diapers from the time she was born. I wouldn't recommend these for infants or toddlers who are not yet potty trained. They are not very absorbant (but work well enough to contain any night-time messes)and they are very bulky to wash and take a long time to dry. For those just starting out with cloth diapers I would recommend gDiapers. |

 "Great AIO" | 2009-09-19 |

| I have used cloth diapers on both my girls and these all in ones are great. They are not bulky and they are absorbent. I would not recommend them for naptime or bedtime because if the diaper is too wet it will leak, although there is a pocket to stuff with a doubler. I used to not like Kushies because they were so bulky, but these diapers are not bulky and you can snap a onsie over them. Good diaper and excellent value. |

 "Attention new cloth diaper shoppers, read this review first." | 2009-08-18 |

I used Kushies ulta diapers for over 6 months. When it was time to move from the infant size to toddler size, I decided to try another AIO brand. It is important to share with anyone searching for a cloth diaper, that I did extensive research prior to buying Kushies. I read all the bad reviews, but due to the good reviews, and the affordability, I choose to try them out.
The first thing I noticed was that the outer covers rubbed on the inner part of my daughters legs. So, I bought a pack of the basic cloth diapers, the ones that velcro but have no outer cover, they are just soft cotton. These soaked through all of her clothes. I bought one of the kushies diaper covers, it ripped in the first wash, so I never got to try it out. I ended up by Thirsties covers, which are soft and worked very well leak wise. I then noticed that a slight odor never came out of the diapers. I was soaking and washing the diapers just as kushies instructed. I tried different soaps, even charlie's all natural soap, that advertises that it will get any smell out. The smell persisted. And my daughter still got rashes with the Kushies. So, when it was time to move up a size, I decided to try another brand.
I just purchased Fuzzi Bunz AIO perfect size diapers (12pack FuzziBunz Perfect Size Diapers - Gender Neutral Colors MEDIUM. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! They were a little higher in price, but I did get them on sale and so worth the extra money. They are so soft on the outside and inside. My daughter doesn't get rub marks on the inside of her legs and no rashes. The care is by far easier than the kushies as well. You don't soak, you use the dry pail method. The poop comes right off the micro fleece, no bending over the toilet with gloves, scrubbing poop. They dry almost twice as fast as the kushies and the snaps work way better than velcro. Not only did my daughter constantly un-do the velcro, but even after you fasten the velcro together, the diapers come out of the wash all strung together. No smell yet (it's only been a couple weeks). They don't leak, they even do well at night, which is a true test with my daughter (she's a heavy wetter at night, she also sleeps 12 hours).
I really have to say micro fleece is 10 times better than the cotton. Not only for the easy clean up, but my daughter seems to move better, and no rashes. Sometimes I have to use a disposable diaper, and she usually will start to get a rash with just one disposable. I put the Fuzzi Bunz on her, and at the next diaper change, all redness is completely gone. I highly recommend a micro fleece diaper.
You will read review after review about AIO's not fitting snuggly. They don't, and it's just something you have to deal with when using cloth diapers, but it's a small trade off compared to all the good benefits. The fuzzi bunz don't fit any more snug than the Kushies. It may be because I probably could have gotten by with the small rather than a medium, but I didn't want to chance it.
Overall, I would never recommend Kushies to anyone after trying just one other brand. I am not one of those people that likes to write bad reviews, but with AIO's we are all making a pretty big investment and want the best for our babies, so I felt it important to write this review for other potential first time cloth diaper buyers. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I did for 6 months, and I really am kicking my self for taking the more wallet friendly option. Spend the extra bucks, it will be worth it. |

 "Inexpensive, easy, and LEAKY" | 2009-07-05 |

| We bought some of these in the newborn and infant sizes before our first daughter was born. We quickly found that the newborn ones are useless, as no matter what combination of liner and diaper you use, the poop will get out of the diaper. Later, the infant ones became part of our cloth diaper rotation only as back-ups and only for use at home. The reason is that the legs lack proper gussets, so urine leeches directly from the lining of the diaper onto whatever clothing the little one is wearing. If your baby is still in the liquid poop stage, the legs completely fail to keep it in. The most absorbent, leak-proof, inexpensive, and eco-friendly option we've found is a combination of bamboo terry squares (fastened with Snappies), Kushies cotton liners, and Little Beetle one-size wool covers. If you want an all-in-one that won't turn you off cloth diapers forever, spend more money to get something good. (I've heard great things about Bum Genius, for example.) |

| I PURCHSED TWO PACKS OF THESE AND SOME POCKETS. These beat pockets by far theyare very absorbent Im very glad i found a great diaper at an amazing low price i am planning on buying more. Pockets just didnt aborb alot, they leaked and if i stuffed them with more liners they were to bulky on my son.I also like how these have the convenience of a pocket incase i need more protection. |

| I used these once my daughter started wetting through her nighttime disposable diapers. These diapers work very well for heavy wetters with the use of 2-3 inserts. I don't even bother to stuff the pocket- the inserts just stay in place. I made a big mistake and left some of them soaking for over a week when my washing machine broke. The diapers' outer shell was damaged. I emailed the company to see if there is anything that could be done to save them. Kushies sent me replacement diapers free of charge plus a cute little tote bag. Who has such great customer service these days? I was very impressed. |
