Best velcro for covers or pockets

centralperk · September 2013

I need to buy some velcro/ hook and loop covers and pockets for daycare. Which brand holds up the best? I have BG 4.0 and a blueberry in snaps but am open to trying other brands. Double gussets are a bonus and my LO has pretty chunky thighs.

BG and flip aplix is definitely the worst I've encountered. I got one of each to try despite bad reviews, and they just don't last. Best aplix I have is tots bots, but its pricy. My daycare/DH dipes are RaRz and Happy Heinys all for one. Both have good aplix that shows little wear. RaRz has double gussets, both pockets and covers.

I had BG and Blueberry both in h&l. The BG sucked and I liked and would recommend the Blueberry, but now they are both snaps because I don't care for h&l diapers.

I love the Rarz pockets and aplix. Some people say they seem to run small, but I think they're comparable to my other OS brands

I agree with the RaR recomendations. I also have 5 Kawaii bamboo pockets that have had really good h&l.

My Kawaii aplix has lasted between 1 and 2 years, and the loops don't fuzz as they wear. I've replaced a few hook tabs and the diapers are going strong. HD2 are great diapers.

I agree that RaR aplix is good, but I've got a very chunky baby and I've sold all of mine because the rise is too short for him. Blueberry aplix is AWESOME and those have a roomier fit so you'll get a longer wear out of them.

I haven't had mine this long, but my Kawaii have awesome aplix!

thanks for all the recs. Which kawaii*s does everyone like?

The Aplix I like the best is TotsBots and Kawaii (I only have the NB Kawaiis though). Luckily our daycare provider doesn't care if it's snaps or aplix. I much prefer snaps overall.

I hate hate hate BG aplix. It is the worst. And while the aplix itself on the Happy Heinys is okay, I really just don't like the design of the diapers. They are the only ones that I can say that about, and I've tried a bunch of brands.

I really really love the aplix on my Soft Bums. They are more pricey and aren't double gusset, but I've never had a leak. I also like the Blueberry aplix.

I haven't tried them, but I think the Kawaii's everyone likes is the square tab aplix ones.

The only applix/H&L I have are my Bummis Super Brite covers. I like them and have had no issues! However, I've only been using them on and off (we have a bunch of pockets and AIOs) for two months.
