Please talk to me about GM ONEs

Any reviews? I know they can be hit or miss, but I'm curious about experiences with them since I decided to try one out and have it OTW.

I don't like them.  They took forever to prep and they tend to wick around the legs.

I have had a little wicking around the legs but only if they are are on for a LOOOONG time (like if I am out running errands and he goes 3 - 4 hours) and the inserts get totally saturated.  Also, the soaker is your standard GM soaker but without the bamboo in the diaper body, you need some extra absorbency.  So, I usually throw in a small or medium Sbish doubler.  All of that said, I actually really love my ONEs.  I currently have two, one otw (for over a month now, ugh Canada Post) and one hopefully otw soon!

I think they're okay. I like the fit, but I am not wild about the laminated fabric outer. I think that hidden PUL + microfleece inner does a much better job of preventing wicking.

I have two and I like them.  They seem to have a trimmer fit and we've never had leaks or wicking with either.  The one outer fabric seems a bit rough, but the baby doesn't seem to mind.  The other one is minky fabric and seems so soft for baby.

I had a few and they were fine. I added some absorbancy. Just a little wicking if they were on too long.  I ended up selling them for cute AI2s though.  They just weren't my favorite.

Personally, I love them.  I like that the inners are made from natural fibers.  As with my experience with ALL AI2s, if you leave them on longer than 2 hours, they will wick.  This happens with every single brand I own and is generally my fault since I know to change DS when it gets close to two hours.  They are hard to come by NIP, but when I do, I try to grab it as she hasn't made any in over a year.  They do take about 5-6 washings and dryings to fully prep.

Thanks for the reviews! The one I'm getting is used, so prepping shouldn't be a problem. Will definitely remember the tip about adding absorbency, I have loads of doublers anyway. Can't wait to try it out!
