  • Also Zulily shipping is rediculous. its over 5$ for shipping and yet last time I ordered something it took 4 months and by the time I got it, Tiny outgrew it.

  • Once you've spent some time perusing the Alva website, you recognize the prints and snap configuration. It's not your fault! Zulily is really shady in that they keep offering these. It's been a few months since this came up.

    Glad I'm not the only one that falls prey to this type of thing. But I still feel Embarrassed

  • I am confused.  Are they not actually lotus bumz diapers or are lotus bumz diapers alvas?   Sorry if I am being stupid.  I have a couple of lotus bumz and like them pretty well and was considering buying some more.  Thanks!

    If they've got sort of rounded tabs, they're rebadged Alvas. Alva will put any label you want on a large order. They make no secrets about doing this. Like this lady gets her "custom label" done by Alva:

    Some of hers have no label, some have her own label.If they've got the round tabs and the snap placement... they're Alvas. I've seen some of the Alva "colorful snap" diapers rebranded, too. 

  • Actually the lotus bumz on zulily today don't look like Alvas. They look totally different than they have when I've seen them on Z in the past. Maybe they have a new supplier or something? They do have some really cute prints and wet bags! Don't look at all like my Alvas....

  • Whether they are alvas or not, they suck! I bought the purple paisley bc it was too cute to pass up. Pee goes straight through it, even after I dried on high to seal the PUL. Hello swim diaper.
    ETA: The ruffle dipes are freaking adorable though!!

  • I fell for this too a couple months ago. Found out later the diaper was an Alva. Now, whenever I find a new brand of CD's, I google if they are repurposed Alvas - and most of the time, they are.

    Agreed! The cheaper more basic lotus bumz are just like Alvas but the ones with the cute prints are different. I have a few and they leak right through the PUL every time no matter what I do. It's a shame since they are so cute.
