Alva/Sunbaby/Kawaii??

firewiferut · April 2012

Are these all made by the same people? I know Alva sells direct out of China, I've heard so does Sunababy, and apparently Kawaii is sold out of Canada but I'm thinking they get imported from China.

They all have the same prints. So I'm just wondering if they are all technically the same diaper? I have a few Alvas and a few Kawaii's.

While some of the prints are the same, they are definitely different diapers. I have Sunbaby, and neither of the other two, but I can tell from pics that they are different.

Fwiw, I really like my sunbabh diapers.

Sunbaby and Kawaii are not the same. I'm not sure about Sunbaby and Alvas though...I think I've heard around here that they're the same but don't quote me on that.

Lots of places use the same PUL prints.

I have sunbaby and hawaii and they are very different. 8 could use a Kawaii at night but not s sunbaby. I like both though.

My alva's have one row of snaps my Kawaii two. They both fit kinda differently too. I wouldn't be surprised if they are made in the same factory but they are different patterns.

They may be made in the same place (I don't know) but they are definitely different diapers. I have all three and none of them are the same.

We have alvas and kawaii and they are definitely different. I love them both, but prefer the alvas.

I don't have Sunbaby but I do have Kawaii and Alva and they are not the same. My Alvas fit a lot like a BG.

China is a big place and several companies have figured out there's a market for cheap cloth diapers. They do seem to source the same prints/PUL, but so do some higher priced diapers. Alvas are resold under a long list of brand names (they openly sell diapers without labels that can be anything you want them to be), but not as Sunbaby or Kawaii.

I've only tried Kawaii so far, but I might pick up some Alvas from a co-op - they wholesale really cheap.

Yeah I guess I just thought it was weird to see the same PUL prints on different diapers. I like the alvas I have- can't beat the price- and it's hard to tell the difference between those and my bg 4.0's. I just got the Kawaii's in the mail so I'm excited to try them out.
