token-- a CD question for you...

aerotigergirl · September 2011

Do I remember correctly that you're using Kawaii CDs? Are you using pockets? Are you using the bamboo ones or the ones with a microfleece inner? Have you been happy with them?

I'm trying to increase my stash and try out a lot of different options, and there are a couple on ebay that I'm considering bidding on.

Thanks!

I've been using mostly the square crossover tab (but in aplix, the ones I have I don't think they sell anymore) with microfiber. They've been great - and the price really is unbeatable. They fit well and we've been using them for 3 months and they still look like new. I have a few of the bamboo inserts, and they're good too. i bought some hemp inserts (those are AMP brand) that I use with a mf insert overnight in a Good Night Heavy Wetter - I can go 12 hours in that combo.

If you don't want to order thru eBay, you can get them from the importer website (if you want to buy a bunch): https://theluvyourbaby.com/ (shipping is $$$ for small orders) or https://www.sweetbottomsbaby.com/ or https://www.jackbenatural.com/brands/Kawaii.html to try just 1 or 2.

Thanks! I love the price on the Kawaii pockets, and they seem to have a lot of different options! So far at nighttime, we've used either a BG4.0 (aplix) or a RaR OS (snap) with a MF and a hemp insert. That has been working so far, but the RaR feels a little bit extra bulky (maybe because of the double gussets?) and I like the BG4.0, but I don't want to invest in a full stash of them for overnights until I've tried out a few other brands to make sure I'm getting my favorite.

After reading a little more, it sounds like the bamboo has more of a stay-dry feel than plain cotton up against the bum (which is what I'm trying to avoid), but definitely feels wetter than the micro-fleece against the skin.

And thanks for the links! I'd never heard of JackBeNatural, and I'm definitely going to check them out.

I'm butting in here. I use them too and like them. I don't like the bamboo minky ones though. The square tabs are good though. The snaps aren't that strong, but for 8 bucks its worth it. No leaks here at all. We don't use them over night, the heavy duty night time is just huge on ds and leaks because of fit. Granted, ds is 16 pounds so I don't get it.

Also butting in! We use a wide variety of CDs, but have some regular Kawaii pockets and Kawaii Good Night Heavy Wetter diapers in circulation. We use MF inserts with both.

Violet can go 12 hours overnight in the Good Night Heavy Wetter diapers when stuffed with both inserts. It is bulky, but it doesn't seem to bother her. Kawaii diapers aren't my favourites, and I especially don't like the double row of snaps, but for the price they can't be beat! And I really like JackBeNatural.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of snaps. Other than my overnight diapers, all mine are velcro/aplix. The snaps on mine are hard to do up (and undo) - but I gather that a lot of older babies figure out how to undo velcro but aren't strong enough to escape snaps. And snaps don't wear out as fast. So there are pros and cons for both.

All of the diapers I regularly use have snaps, and I actually prefer snaps to aplix. But the Kawaii snaps are really hard to snap, and I don't like the double rows. But I'll bet they're the hardest for toddlers to learn to take off!

Butting in too Embarrassed But I have been looking up options for over night. I'm definitely going to try a Kawaii or two!

p.s. I also prefer snaps to aplix IMO they wear out much quicker.

Thanks for posting this! Big Smile

I also use Goodnight Heavy Wetters for my boys at night. With both inserts, they can go all night without a diaper change and don't have any leaks.

I prefer snaps to aplix as well, by the way.

I have used a few Kawaiis (the crossover tab and Good night heavy wetter). I like them okay especially for the price. But my true loves are BG 4.0's and the Grovia's AI2's.

I have probably half and half aplix/ snaps.
