For those of you who DIDN'T like FB OS...

...when did you start to dislike them?  I've read lots of reviews citing difficulty getting a good fit and leaking but, for me, these have fit like a charm! (I know all babies are built differently.)  In fact, I've been having trouble with BG OS leaking out the leg lately and I know lots of people seem to be absolutely in love with them.  What I'm worried about is that I am loving the FB now for fit reasons, but they are new.  I'm worried that I've also read reviews about repelling, stink, and wicking and that over time, I'll come to dislike them, too. 

Just trying to figure out what I want to buy to fill out my stash.  I'm thinking I'll probably wait a little to order anyhow since FB is coming out with the "elite" OS that I might like to try. 

Thanks in advance for any opinions and help...this might be a post-and-run since the little one is starting to stir!

    I think every cloth diaper has someone complaining about wicking, repelling, stink and the like. That's a personal thing and a lot of times all in what you do with it/what your water is like etc. So if they work for I wouldn't worry about it. I love my BGs personally but I know people complain about the above issues all of the time with those too.

    If you like your FBs go with them. Everyone is different. I have 4 and hated them from Day 1. No real reason, just a personal thing. Basically I'm lazy and hate fighting to get the elastic adjusted right. I have a tall skinny baby so the size chart that comes with is pretty useless for me.  I use them on laundry day/bottom of the diaper bag and they work fine, just not my faves.

    That's kind of what I was thinking, but appreciate the feedback. Thank you!

    ugh, I really didn't like them because I could never get the fit right. I still use them as back-up, but I was unimpressed.

    For me, I've never consistently got a good fit. But I'm enamored w/our BG4s so I'd say our kiddos are just built differently. Go w/what is working well for you!

    I trialed one and it did not fit my bigger baby. The rise was not high enough for her
