Grovia summer package review

Dr.Loretta · June 2011

I posted Saturday morning that I wasn't feeling the love on these, but my tune has changed after this weekend.

I drove DD from PA to MA yesterday and popped back down to PA tonight. Used the Grovia all the way up. The first one leaked (but to be fair, it was on too long--I just couldn't find a good rest stop), but after that they worked like a charm.

Even though the disposable insert reminds me of a disposable, it seems to be--heftier is the best word I can come up with. After the first one it contained things nicely and we didn't have any further problems.

I'm still going to see how my usual CD stash and a larger wetbag works on another trip, but this is definitely going to be an option for our weekend trips this summer.

Glad they are working out. I pulled one of the biosoakers out today just to see what they looked like, and they look so thin! I'm glad you find them heftier

We are planning to use them when we fly to MI in a few weeks.

Good to know. DH just yesterday, after months of meeting any CD-related question from me with "I don't care, you've done the research, you decide," changed his tune and told me he was upset that I was assuming we were going to CD during our upcoming week-long trip up north (apparently because I would have to do laundry? I don't know). I think he was mostly just feeling really grumpy and was taking it out on CDing, but I told him I'd look up alternate options and when he gets home tonight I'm going to point to the sale as my preferred non-straight-CD option.

Dr. L- how many times could you reuse the shells? Do the biosoakers cover most of the shell? I feel like I'd be afraid all 3 would get poop on them and I'd have to go buy a box of sposies in the middle of vacation anyway.

Glad you are liking them! How long did they last for her? Flip disposables are lasting us about an hour, and I wondered if Grovias are comparable.

Except for the one that leaked, the other ones were OTB at least twice with no problems. The biosoakers cover a majority of the shells. HTH

I was going 2-2.5 hours with them, like I would do with CDs, with no problem. The first one was on for 3.5 hours (I know, I know) and that's the one that leaked.

How big is the pack of 50 soakers? I'm wondering how many I could fit in a suitcase...

Also, did you use them at night?

:::butting in on Dr. L's post:::

I've been a Grovia user for several months now and I love them. I've had great luck with them during the day (with both biosoakers and cotton soakers), but don't use them at night. They hold stuff great when DS is up and about and in the carseat - he can go 3-4 hours easily. I have had issues with side leaks (pee only) at night, so I use fitteds with a cover then.

The only trick I found was that you have to make sure the gussets on the biosoakers are flared out around the legs (not folded in). Everybody else probably knows that, but I had to learn the hard way.

Hi Colo!

And you answered all my questions anyway. I used sposies at night.

As for the size, you can fit a pack in a suitcase.
