I'm looking to purchase some PUL covers for our new baby and was wondering what everyone prefers. Specifically Blueberries mini coveralls and Bummis Super Brites. We've only had diapers with a solid color PUL. Are there issues with leaking with some print PUL? Also, do you all have issues with prints showing through light colored clothes?
Re: Do you prefer solid or print PUL diapers/covers?
I like both prints and solids. I don't know why a print would make a PUL fabric leak. I've never had that issue. However, I have had print show through Lightly colored clothing. It's never really a big deal. Since I know which diapers do it, I just avoid those with whatever clothing I know it will show through.
I've never had issues with print covers leaking. I prefer solid colours just because of my own personal taste.
As for showing through clothing, I guess any diaper will show through a tight white onesie, but I don't think I've ever had him in public in just a white onesie. And if I did, it wouldn't really concern me, it shows off the fluffy butt
Even solid colors will show through sometimes, but I have never worried much about it. Have a couple ought colored diapers on hand in case you need them and that should be fine. I am just about to list some yellow Bummis super brights on a b/s/t board, lmk if you would be interested in them (new, never used).
Print PUL vs solid PUL wont increase or decrease the leaks.
I did have serious issues with the Bummis super brites/whisper pant
The issues with covers are the ones that have a fabric over PUL. A lot of the time they'll wick the moisture onto the outside
ETA: As for showing through clothes the only issue I would see is a white onesie...
though in the summer I did intentionally put DD in skirts that would show off her fluffybutt

I believe swaddlebee's just came out with a new system very similar flips! They have some cute prints I believe they are called Capri Covers.
