BabyKicks Organic One Size Fitted Diaper, Natural reviews from buyers.
Awesome nighttime diaper with hemp inserts and wool! Bulletbroof!!
My heavy soaker was leaking through pockets and normal fitteds were saturated in no time! So I tried these and stuff with one extra hemp insert and it's wonderful!! Worth every penny and wash well! Paired with wool is a dream night time solution for us:)
I like it, just one 'small' problem...
I really like the BabyKicks Nursing Pads - Jersey, Set of 3, so when I saw they had a diaper made of basically the same material, I wanted to try it out. I liked it, but there were a few things (for me) that don't make this a 4- or 5-star item...
The Material-- (This I actually give 5 stars)
The item is primarily a Hemp/Cotton blend-- hemp has great absorbency without a lot of the bulk. Very importantly-- you have to wash and dry it a few times to get all the natural plant oils out, so that it softens up and absorbs more. (Some people short-cut this and boil their hemp for 20 mins and then cool them down and wash them) I knew this going in, so this wasn't an issue for me. Just know that it'll be a bit rough at first until it breaks in.
YOU STILL NEED A WATERPROOF COVER. This is important, else the material will saturate and leak through to clothes, bedding, etc. I *will* say that...
Not all natural - Polyester
The label reads as follows:
50% Organic Cotton
33% Natural Hemp
17% Polyester
Now when you are buying a diaper that is advertised as an Organic diaper, don't you expect it to be just that? Polyester is not and cannot be Organic. (Yes this is partially my fault for not reading the ENTIRE description of the product. The title is very misleading) The diaper is very rough even after multiple washings. It is also VERY bulky. I would not use with the original insert unless it was overnight. I use with a 2 layer hemp fleece insert and it has to be changed every 2 to 3 hours which is fine with me. I do somewhat agree with another users review that this won't fit to 40 pounds. My daughter is 5m old and 19 pounds and the thigh gets snapped on the biggest setting and her tummy gets snapped at the snap right before that. As far as rise goes, she is on the orange so there is some room for length. I know she will most likely thin out when she starts crawling...
