Oh Katy One Size Pocket Diaper, Twilight (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

In my cloth diapering adventure (I have been using cloth for basically 13 years now for all of my many children)I have discovered there is positive and negatives about pretty much every diaper. I would have to say I sort of like these. Not like, not love.Things I like:Snap color: I LOVE when diapers and snaps match. I think it looks so much nicer than white snaps on colored diapers.Exterior fabric: It feels nice sort of softer and more pliable than some other diapers. I also like the way the fabric has sort of a sheen to it. Very attractive looking. They also have really nice looking colors and shades. I look for new different colors when I add to my diaper stash. The bluebird color is so pretty and a nice different shade from my many blue diapers. I also like the Twilight one for another unique color shade. The grey color is another option that isn't seen a lot in diapers. I bought 6 of these diapers and had a hard time narrowing my final color selections down there were so many nice options.Inside fleece: First, I prefer fleece over micro suede. This fleece is softer and nicer feeling than some other diapers. It has held up without much piling from wash too so it holds that soft feeling.2 inserts included: I love when diapers come with the average size insert plus the one often referred to as a newborn size. I use the newborn size in addition to the regular to make a great overnight diaper that has less bulk than 2 of the regular inserts together.Dislikes:Fleece shows on outside: I don't like the way the inside fleece turns to the outsides along all edges of these diapers. I have quite a few other brands of pocket diapers but none seem to have this much fleece turned to the outside. It has not effected the performance but I just think it makes it less attractive looking.Seems small: They are not nearly as big as some of my other diapers. Definitely shorter in the rise. My 2 year old doesn't wear diapers except at night anymore and I keep forgetting to try one on her. I think these might not fit a chubbier toddler very well.Only 2 snaps to adjust size: This is my biggest complaint about these diapers. Where most diaper have 3 snaps to snap down the adjustable size, these only have 2. My baby is a super wiggle worm. As I pull up the front of the diaper to to get in in place as he twists around they ALWAYS pop unsnapped on at least one side. Then I have to resnap them making the wiggle worm wait even longer till he is done. Sometimes they will pop undone more than once during a diaper change and then the inconvenience becomes a true annoyance. Its this reason alone that when an Oh Katy is next in line in my diaper pile I will skip over it.Since I got a special deal on these they were a pretty good deal. Would I buy more at the regular price? No. The snap issue would keep me from doing it. Would I buy them at the discounted price I got. No I don't think so. I might think about but ultimately buy another brand I like better. Would I buy them if I found them at a super price on clearance. Yes, I probably would. Do I reach for these first, No. Do I hate them, No. When my baby fits into them better at the unsnapped size I see myself using them a lot more, too. Hope this helps.

When I started researching cloth diapers, I was a little overwhelmed...and the worst part was that I didn't have any other mom friends' experience to help me narrow down which type and brand of diapers to use. So I bought one of those starter kits that lets you try a few different "systems" I decided to go with the one size pocket diapers. They seem the easiest to deal with and most economical since you don't have to buy a variety of sizes.Once I made this decision, I looked on Amazon for the brands with the best reviews. I ended up buying a Bumkins one size with the panel sewed in, 2 Bum Genius diapers (one velcro and one snaps), a Fuzzybuns and, finally, an Oh Katy. After rotating all of these for a few days I thought the Oh Katys were the best and filled out the rest of my stash with this brand. I've been using them for about 4 months now and am still happy with my decision.1. They are relatively trim (when you choose the one size diapers they will always be bulky on a little baby)...definitely trimmer than the Bumkins and Bum Genius. Fuzzybuns might be a little less bulky but I wasn't a fan of that diaper for other reasons below.2. The variety of snaps have made the size very customizable. I have had my daughter in several different configurations over the past four months or so and all have fit her well based on her size at the time. The Bumkins and Bum Genius diapers don't have as much flexibility in sizing. The Fuzzybuns system with the elastic is also pretty flexible but I think adjusting the elastic is a pain and wouldn't want to do that with my whole diaper stash.3. I like the snaps better than velcro. This might be personal preference but they wash easier (don't stick on each other) and my baby can't pull them off like she's starting to do with my few velcro diapers.4. LOVE the front pocket. I'm actually surprised that Oh Katy is the only cloth brand with the pocket in the front. It is definitely less messy to get them out and I think they're the easiest brand to stuff. Fuzzybuns, especially, are really difficult to get the insert into the pocket for some reason. It's also great that the inserts can snap down when you're on a smaller setting.I've seen some other reviewers talk about leaking. I haven't found that Oh Katys leak significantly more often than my other cloth diapers. But all of the cloth require changing more often than disposables in my experience. So we just make it a point not to let my daughter go more than 1.5-2 hrs without a change and we're usually good. I do put her in a disposable at night, though, because of this reason.My only complaint is that I was looking for more instructions on how to use all the snaps when I first started with Oh Katys. The diaper didn't come with a good set of instructions and I didn't find the Oh Katy website to be much help either. I've just been winging it and snapping the diaper wherever it seems to fit best at the time so I guess I'm doing it right but some guidance early on would have been helpful.Overall, would definitely recommend...great diaper for the money.
