Great fit for my petite (5th % h/w) baby from newborn to 15 months. Use with green mountain prefolds + snappi, leaks are very rare. Very economical, functional and durable.

Love this cover! Somehow my XS still fits my 16 lb/4.5 month old ds... just a little more snug than his size 1 duo wrap! Never any problems with leaks. Always my go-to cover for prefolds.

This cover just does not fit my little guy at all. He is a big baby 21 lbs at 6 months but is well porportioned in my opinion anyways and the medium cover I have is way to big in the waist and when I try to tighten the waist then the legs get really tight. It would be better if they had two rows of snaps so that you could tighten the waist and legs seperatly. Other then that the cover does its job as long as the diaper underneath does not get to wet.
I don't think I would recoment these covers I have found much nicer ones for just a small amout more $.

I love my Thirsties Diaper covers. The double gussets are what have been a life saver for us. We are currently using the Thirsties Duo size 2 for both my 6 month old baby girl (she is 20 lbs) and my 2 year old boy (weighs about 30 lbs). The quality of the product is great and they fit well for both my chunky baby and my thin babe.

At first I loved and recommended these covers. For a newborn the sized newborn and small sized covers are perfect. They fit like a glove. The gussets on the legs do their job. I have a big pee and poo baby ... he has always gone a LOT and these do the job with prefolds folded in tri-fold.
As my baby started to want to be seated I noticed the edge across the belly folds inward and the velco across the front cuts into his skin. I've seen people complain of this elsewhere. It happens with the sized AND the new Thirsties DuoWraps. I had to stop using them because of it leaving marks and I was worried it was hurting him. Also the edges of the velcro snap poke sharply and caused scratches on his forearms and on my own skin when holding him.
I'll save my covers for when I have another newborn but I won't buy anymore and I will stop using them as soon as the baby gets in sitting position. Limited use bums me out. My son is taking off his BG 3.0's at 8 months old so even if that wasn't a problem I'd not be able to keep them on him now anyway!

This diaper is extremely dissapointing. I would not recommend this to anyone. The ALWAYS leak no matter what is inside. I even bought the fitteds and they are equally as aweful. I own many types and have used several covers, and these are terrible. The only reason I did not give them a 1 is the quality seems good and they do wash well.

I LOVE them, the first covers I reach for. If I am using a prefold (or trimmer fitted) I can still use the x-small and my daughter is 13lbs. If it is something with a little more bulk (like a os fitted) I usually size up for comfort (and to catch that higher rise). I highly recommend them!

This is a great cover. I really like the gussets in the legs. It runs big to me. I use it with prefolds. I gave it a four because sometimes I just lay the prefold in the cover instead of using a snappi and I don't like that is is very easy for the sticky feeling PUL to touch your baby's skin if your prefold moves around in the cover.

Love this cover! Best PUL cover we have tried. Never had a leak... not once. Super cute too. It still looks new after dozens of washes, I can't say that about other PUL covers we have tried. Leg gussets really keep the mess in, and my PF's never stick out at all.

For us, these are the best PUL covers out there, and they were made even better with the introduction of the 2-size duo system. When my son was a newborn, we changed his diaper up to 20 times a day. The thirsties consistently kept that poo where it belonged, and the colors are adorable. Now he's on the size 2 duo covers and they still work great. I highly recommend these!

For all the raave reviews I foudn these covers to be pretty disappointing. They're very big and I found them to be very bulky. My daughter has very chunky thighs and these covers leaked constantly, no matter what I put inside. I also found that the colors were a little different than what they appeared to be online which is not a big deal but a little disappointing.

This is my go-to cover for my newborn. I love the leg gussets - haven't had a blowout or leak. My daughter has thin thighs, and these secure quite nicely. The price is right, and the extra small size will fit my babe for much longer than any other newborn cover I have (at 9.5 lbs she has outgrown all newborn covers but these).

I have loved this wrap up until now only because it seems we are between sizes. I am sure the Thirsties will fit better in a month or two. The pros have been a great fit with almost no leaks (my DD has been ebf until recently when she started solids) and easy wash and dry (size 1 still looks new). The cons are some wicking with size 2 when wearing pants or elastic waists and long wait for good fit between sizes. Overall I would buy them again and recommend them.

I did a lot of research before I bought this cover, and decided to go with thirsties since I had read so many great reviews about them. I purchased 3 covers, and am SO, SO sorry I did. I used this cover twice, and never wanted to use it again. I think the thing that bothered me the most about it was the front flap would sag and droop (at the sides, behind where the aplix attaches). I really don't know how anyone can get a good fit in these covers. Imse Vimse covers do not have this problem at all, since their aplix is positioned the opposite way (vertical). I also hate picking up my baby and feeling an unnatural material in my arms - it feels worse than disposables. I have to admit, that I am partial to wool - I do not cloth diaper my baby, just to put him in plastic pants that don't breathe. But, if I have to put him in a PUL cover, I prefer the Imse Vimse ones by far. (It was actually using the thirsties covers that made me want to switch over to wool.)

I've been using my size Medium Thirsties covers for 14 mo now so I guess it's time to write a review! I tried a few different PUL covers but none compared to Thirsties. The fit is awesome. I love the leg gussets (I've only had elastic go bad on 1 cover). After 14 mo of constant use these covers look and feel like they have hardly been used. Thirsties velcro is the best. No curling or sticking to everything. In the future I will only use Thirsties covers.

If I only recommended one diaper cover it would be Thirties. Never a leak, simple, trim, affordable. My only advice is to order down a size. We currently have a medium for my 32"", 19lb, 11m old son and it is HUGE on him. We use it at night and have never had a leak.
Oh and the orange is BRIGHT!

These are great. I used them on my son from when he was a newborn until he was about 6 months old (then I graduated him to a one size pocket). We never had a single leak with these and it kept in all the runny baby poos - and trust me, my son was breastfed so he poo-ed ALOT. The fit was great around the legs and when he got chubbier, it still fit well without leaving marks!

These covers work great! They are very well-sized, trim and the double leg gussets do the job. The only leaks we've ever had were from user error (twice). We use prefolds exclusively and nearly always use pins. But we have used snappis and we have also just laid the diaper in the cover. Always, always, always works. Highly recommended!

I love the double gusset and I have never, not ever, had a leak with these, whether I am using a prefold or fitted. I highly recommend Thirsties covers!

First of all, these diapers work well. As far as effectiveness goes, I have had no leakage problems at all.
These diapers are really thin. I don't like it since I'd rather change the cover often than feel coldness through the cover. It's very plastic feeling, and looks cheap to me. As far as looks go, it's my least favorite cover. And although I let him hang out here in a diaper and shirt, I find if people are coming I won't do that with this cover.
Also, the gussets are too tight for my baby. His thighs are a little chunky and these leaves marks on him :(
I've also found I can't stand velcro, but I'm not using that as a factor in the rating as I've found no velcro closure covers that I love.
For all the reasons above this is one of my last resort diaper covers.

Thirsties were the first brand I carried when I opened my cloth diaper store 4 years ago. To this day, Thirsties outsells all of my other products. I have sold thousands of Thirsties covers with only 2 returns due to defects!
I have used Thirsties covers on my daughter since she was born. I like the new Duo Wraps fit better since my daughter is skinny, but the original covers are still going strong and look great. These fit better on chunky babies. Since they last for so long, if you plan to have more than one child, this is the cover I would recommend.
We almost never have leaks in these covers - the only leaks we have had were due to long naps with inadequate diapers underneath.
Disclosure: I am the owner of Little for Now and I sell Thirsties products.

**This is no way is a reflection of the seller**
I purchased these covers in medium when DD was about 5 months old. They fit her fine. Never had any blowout, leaks, etc. They kept their new appearance, due to always handwashing and air drying. However, after a few months of use, the gusset elastic started leaving red welts on DD's chunky thighs. Fine...I sized up to a large. The large was way too bog on the rise and waist, and the legs were still too tight. I don't hate the cover, it is extremely well made, and hold up very well (with my type of washing routine) These are just not made for non-skinny babies.
I switched over to Bummis Super Whisper Wrap, and could not be happier. There are no leg gussets on those, so DD's thighs are nice and comfy!

I have been using Thirsties for about 4 months now on two diffrent children. I have also used other brands, I can say the only reason I am glad I tried the others is so I realize how wonderful these are. Thirsties have leg gussets that my others don't. They fit well in multiple sizes. They don't pile on the trim like other diapers and the aplix has held up better than over covers. I am sold and have ordered their product three times now. Skip the others and get the thirsties they are money well spent.

In the nine months I have been using these covers, I've only had two leaks. My only complaint is that for the last month my DD has been too big for the small and too small for the medium. There is no over lap in the weight range between sizes. Other than that I would have given five stars. In the mean time, I've had to buy an alternative. Once she grows a little more we will go back to them.

We have nothing but love for our Thirsties covers. We bought these in a size Small when our son was 2 months old and got 3 months of use out of them before he outgrew them. Then they went on loan to a friend for a while, and she used them for several months as well. They still look new. The quality is excellent. The colors are cute. The fit is amazing. We love the leg gussets, keeps everything nice and neat!
The only reason we quit using Thirsties is because we have to have snaps now since our boy undoes velcro, so we use work-at-home-mom covers now, but would have stuck with Thirsties if they came with snaps. They're outstanding covers, and we have only great things to say.

I thought these were awesome diaper covers! NEVER once had a leak of any kind. Held up well in the wash. Well made, good quality aplix...did not fray like some other kinds of diapers I've had with aplix. My only complaint is that on my walking toddler, the wings start to droop no matter what I do which is annoying but doesnt seem to affect the function. great product over all!!

I know that I am in the minority when it comes to these diaper covers, but I'm extremely unhappy with them. I've used many different diapers, and never had the problems I have with these even when the other products didn't meet my expectations.
I purchased several small Thristies covers for my daughter after reading the reviews posted here. They do come in cute colors, and were a good price, but they are terrible quality.
My first impression was good because they looked nice, fit very well and didn't have any issues with leaking, at least not until they began to fall apart anyways. I washed the covers with Charlies soap and hung them to dry, but none the less within a very short time (maybe 2 months max) the PUL cracked and bubbled and the aplix tabs came unsewn and fell apart.
Overall I would not recommend these to anyone. The price may be good, but you definitely get what you pay for with these.

I know that I am in the minority when it comes to these diaper covers, but I have been totally dissatisfied with this product. I am a veteran at cloth diapering and I have used many different products, from prefolds with covers, to fancy AIO diapers. I purchased several large Thristies covers for my son because a friend recommended them. They do come in cute colors. But they are bulky and they do not hold up well at all.
Even though I washed the covers (like all my diapedrs) with Charlies soap and hung them to dry, the PUL cracked and fell apart within the first month of ownership. I called the company and they sent me replacements. The same thing happened to the replacement covers. Only this time, they also came unsewed and the aplix tabs frayed and fell apart!
I barely got any use out of these covers due to the problems. They were always my ""last-resort"" cover. Not to mention, they leaked and gave my son terrible red marks on his legs.
Overall, the quality was lacking with these covers. The price seems good, but only if you actually get use out of them. I've known other people who have not had the problems that I have had, but I won't risk wasting more money on thirties covers. You get what you pay for with these.

We never had a leak but I wish they would have been a little more durable. I washed and dried mine every 3 days and within 3 months the insides started to crack and peel on 1/2 of the 10 I owned. They would probably have lasted longer if I had not always put them in the dryer, but other PUL items I own are fine after 6 months of every other day to sometimes daily drying. After cracking they did wick a little when used overnight but still worked pretty good. I stopped using them when my LOs outgrew them. They fit well, are priced well, and come in a lot of colors. I don't like velcro and wish they came in snaps. I don't know that I'll buy anymore, I now use blueberry OS coveralls that I adore, but I will keep my thirsties to use on future LOs.

This is THE diaper cover I recommend to anyone who asks. Thirsties offers it all. A nice quality cover in cute colors for a reasonable price! I've used these overnights even with just a prefold and have never had even one leak. The fit is great, I have been using my size medium on my daughter for over 2 years now and it still has room to grow. I thought this diaper couldn't get better and then they came out with Duo Wraps just in time for our 3rd child, I can't wait to start using them.

Love these! My kids have chunky thighs and I ordered according to their weight. The cover did appear slightly bigger on them then expected. I was sure I was going to have some leaks but none at all! I love the fact that all you have to do is whip them out and put in another insert. It really cuts down on my laundry during the day. I've also tried them at night and they worked great to my surprise! I highly reccomend these. If you're looking for a good diaper cover please please try thirsties first!

This review is for the V2 sized covers, not the new Duo covers. These are great covers - we used them for the newborn/EBF stage and didn't have a single blowout! We are still using them now. Most people will say that these run large, but I actually liked to have my baby wear them a bit looser (due to chubby thighs) and they still worked great. Available in a whole rainbow of fantastic colors. Easy to wash clean, although the gussets do tend to stain easily.

holds in the NB poo. no blowouts with a thirsties cover on.
made large didn't fit for a couple of weeks after birth and went down to his knees. bought more smalls as the next size up. fits well past weight limit with pinned or snappied prefold. i don't like just laying in a prefold as it sags like a sposie that hasn't been changed enough, but all covers did the same thing any time i've tried it with either child. does hold a doubler in well though, without the sagginess. will update later with durability, though the V1 i had for DD held up well.

I bought these from the Thirsties Outlet, so technically they were ""seconds"". We used them while DS was a newborn and then we tried a few different styles of diapers besides PFs. I'm now going from AIOs to flats with covers and decided to go with Thirsties because they did so great before. So quick and easy, we were really impressed with how good they did. They were better than disposables at keeping the mess contained and they were cute colors, to boot! I highly recommend these. Oh, the larges that I just ordered were shipped within 2 hours and arrived the next day. I'm very impressed with their company and cover!

These are awesome. If I could do it over, I would have only bought these.. well okay and maybe a couple baby bee-hinds because they have different colors.. but thirsties are the best cover all in all. The fit is great, and versatile. I find myself using three sizes at the same time, because you can really adjust them to make them fit however you need them too. The only time anything escapes these covers is if I neglect to tuck the fitted or prefold underneath the cover completely. I wash and dry these with all my other diapers, and don't do anything special for them, and they seem to be holding up great. I like the bold colors the best, and the newborn size fit well even on my ten pounder.

These are hands down my FAVORITE diaper covers. I have been using them since my son was first born. The cover is very thin and trim, but generously sized to go over a fastened prefold or fitted diaper. The leg gussets catch even the runniest of breastfed poop. The tabs can be fastened over each other to get a really tight fit when you are at the bottom of the size range. These covers are sized bigger than other covers, we were in extra small for almost 4 months, long after he had outgrown other newborn covers.
The inside has laminate which is easily wiped clean between uses and overall the cover washes and dries very quickly. I have found the velcro tabs to be very durable (moreso than my other covers) but we line dry which might contribute. Thirsties come in fun bright colors and my only wish is that they had prints!
This is a very reasonably priced cover and definitely well made. We always reach for our thirsties covers first!

Best cover, best price.

These is the best diaper cover I tried, INITIALLY, but when Thirsties came out with their Duo Wraps, I fell in love, and was very happy I'd only bought one of these wraps to try, because all 6 of my wraps are the Duo Wraps. Buy the Thirsties Duo Wrap instead of this wrap!!!! The colors are even sweeter. But if you find these on clearance or something, I say go for it because there is nothing wrong with this wrap at all. Thirsties are my favorite.

This was a great cover at first but the Velcro tabs began to wear out after about 8 to 10 washes. I emailed thirsties about this and they wrote me right back and said I could mail it to them and have the tabs replaced. Great customer service...but I never mailed it in, too much trouble. I just use other covers instead.

I purchased Thirsties as part of my stash before I had my daughter, and they were by far my favorite covers. They fit her for a long time, they rarely had leaks (usually caused by me not covering the diaper properly or going too long between changes), the gussets were great for keeping in poo, I love that you can use them over and over until they get soiled instead of washing every time you change the diaper and they are very trim. Also the colors are cute and the price is right! Of course no product is perfect, and as some others have mentioned, the velcro will snag on the elastic causing it to pill some, but it doesn't affect the usefulness of the diaper. Also, the elastic does stain sometimes because it is white, so it would be nice if it was a darker color. I found that when washing these with my homemade fitted diapers, the velcro from the diapers would catch on the covers and kind of snag the fuzzy side of the velcro as well as the pul sometimes. But, all that said, the problems are all minor and the pros far outweigh the cons - I can't wait to try the new Duo!!

I was using fitted diapers and covers. This was great. I used to have a couple of bulkier diapers and the Bummies cover did not fit well. This one held better. No leaks, no red marks. No chains in the washer/drier.
But it got old fast. The bummies were like new condition while the thirsty was pretty wore out!
Light and breathable. I'd recommend it.

I initially loved these wraps and recommended them to all my friends, until I purchased the Medium size. My son fit great in the small, but when he out grew that size I purchase the medium and it still does not fit him at 2 1/2 years. It sags no matter how many prefolds I put in it and leaks because the sides fold down through the leg holes. I don't believe my son is small, I just think the medium size is too big. I recommend the small, but not any size larger. Don't buy a whole set of mediums until you try one!

I purchased this cover as part of a sampler pack. The small has been a great fit on DS from 3 months, 12lbs to 7 months, 18lbs, and he still has some room left to grow. This cover has a nice rise, not too high, and never leaves red marks anywhere. I feel like this is a fairly trim cover. The cross over tabs allow for a good fit and have never come undone in the laundry. I've never had a leak in it. Even when the breast fed poo ran out of the flat, the Thirsties contained it.
I'll be getting another as soon as DS outgrows the small. I would definitely recommend this cover to anyone!

I really like Thirties for the NB/Sm sizes, but once you get to Med, they just aren't my favorites. They have never fit my son right and the front always folds down, exposing the diaper which causes wicking with his shorts. I have tried different diapers, loosening it up, tightening it, pushing it down, pulling it up - no use. Also, the velcro rubs his tummy raw when it does this. I bought a V2 hoping to would be better, but still had the same problems, plus the PUL rubbed off after just a couple of washings. For smaller babies, I really like the fit over prefolds and they really do contain some messes.

this diaper cover isn't my favorite (too thin for me), but i love their deep leg gusset. Great for my skinny baby. doesn't leak. the reason for my 4 is that because it's so thin, the front part tend to fold in at times. Other than that, it's a great diaper cover.

I am new to cloth diapering and I LOVE these covers! I use them with prefold's and there are never leaks unless I let it go to long without changing him. They are soooo easy to clean and I like the fact that you can reuse them, just take the wet prefold out and pop another one in and away you go!!! If any ""solids"" get on the cover just wipe it out and put in the washer (don't reuse:)) These covers are reasonably priced and come in cute colors. And they look pretty comfy!! I actually just purchased more in a bigger size as my son has grown out of the smalls. Can't wait for them to get here!
I highly recommend these covers!! And FREE shipping at Nicki's:)

Love these covers. We started out with Bummis and had leak issues. Never had a leak with these. They fit snugly and they are trim and fit well under clothing. They work well with a fitted diaper or with prefolds. I started out with just a couple Thirsties in my stash and now I am replacing all of my covers with Thirsties covers. They are the best!

I have tried several different diaper covers and this one has to be my favorite. I have two babies just fourteen months apart and the younger one is a lot bigger than the older one, so I have used them on both of my daughters. Since I have started using them I hardly get any leaks. I'm not sure how durable they will be though. I have always air dried them, but the elastics are fraying and one of them has started to leak right through the cover when my baby has a very wet diaper. I have heard that could just be a problem with detergent residue though. Overall I have been very happy with these covers.

This cover works very well. I used it for about a month and am still using it. We have had no leaks and I did buy this product a little big for him at first since we were so close to the pound change. My only problem is the space between the velcro & the top of the rise is not large enough and the top of the cover turns inward leaving the velcro to scratch my LO's buddha belly (small waist). It continued to do this well after his being within the correct pounds for the diaper size. Because of that we will be looking for other covers but this one was great in every other way.

These are my favorite covers because of the color selection and the fit. I've had probably one or 2 leaks through these covers ever, and they were likely because the cover wasn't put on tight enough.
That said, I would be happier if the trim/velcro was not white, because the poo that does leak out stains the trim.
I still have recommended this to my friends and will continue to buy them as my baby gets older.
The sizes do run a little on the big side, they didn't fit my newborn as well as some others, but 1-2 weeks later they had the best fit out of all of my covers.

I know everyone loves these covers, but the leg gussets leave horrible red marks on my son. I thought maybe I needed to size up, but that didn't help. The cover still left red marks and was too big around the waist in the larger size. My son is a small guy, so it wasn't because of super chunky thighs. I gave it a 2 rating because they never leaked on me and looked super cute.

This is a great diaper cover except for the way it fits my girls. I don't know if I am using the wrong size, but the cover falls down really easily. I have it velcored as tight as it will go and the side wings that don't have the velcro on them fall down by their legs. This causes leaks and frustration. :(
I do love this cover for my babies that aren't crawling or running around. great colors, great coverage for the non-moving babe :)

These diaper covers are our favorite. Because they are not perfect, I cannot give them a 5. We have 4 of covers in medium that we use regularly. Before that we had 6 small covers that we constantly used. We rarely have leaks with these covers. When we do have a leak, it is almost always because someone did not put the cover on correctly (ie the cloth diaper was not completely covered – usually around the legs).
I love the colors they come in. I love the gussets around the legs. I love that the Velcro makes it possible to have a really good custom fit every time. I love that they don’t leak.
The only downside to this cover is the Velcro. I have noticed a couple things over time. First, the Velcro can catch on the stitching of the diaper (like around the legs) and it gives the diaper cover a ragged appearance. Second, and more importantly, the Velcro is starting to wear out on some of the covers. It is getting shaggy & does not hold quite as well as it used to. And lastly, the baby likes to “help” open up the diaper cover. He cannot do this with the diaper covers that have snaps. On the other hand, the diaper covers with snaps don’t fit all that well (or stop leaks as well).

Love, love these covers!! Pros: They fit great, they are cheap, my husband loves that he doesn't have to use snappies, the colors are great, they wash easily, they are trim.
Cons: They stain and they wear a little with washings (I line dry). My ebf poop has stained all the elastic parts. Maybe they should make that fabric a different color and it wouldn't be noticable!

My favorite covers!!!! I have had no issues with leaks at all, and the fit is great. I love that its real trim. Others have said these are big, but I've found I've had to move up sizes way before my baby reaches the suggested weights because of his chubby thighs. The tabs would be almost touching still but it was just too tight on his thighs and I started to have leaks. Once I moved up to the next size it was back to a great fit and zero leaks.

Oh my goodness, these have become our favorite covers! The colors are just gorgeous, they are super trim, and they don't wick. We love them! They don't seem as well sewn or as high quality as Imse Vimse or Bummis Super Brite covers, and they might wear out sooner. But it seems like these covers will last longer than any baby will wear them for, anyway.
They are one of the best overall, reliable covers, great for overnight. The new sizing seems to be better for chunky babies (or thicker diapers underneath).

I am pretty new to cloth and have been on a search for a good cover for my chunky little baby boy. I tried the medium at first and it left terrible red marks on his chubby thighs so I switched to a large and it is a great fit for him! I love the colors and you cant beat the price for a brand new cover! I would definately recommend this cover but be careful about sizing if you have a very chubby thighed baby :)

I like these covers much better than the bummies. I like the leg gussets especially and I appreciate the fact that the fit is generous. I thnk the gussets help prevent little lines from too tight diaper covers on babies legs. I also have noticed that the edging material on the thirsties seems to resist pilling better than the bummies.

These are very cute, and if you have a very large child maybe u could use these. It was hard for us to find a cover big enough to fit my kid. But these are just huge. For my 2 1/2 year old, the large size was just waay to big. She's still wearing them with the tabs touching!! And they still fall off when she runs around!
The leg gussets are a great idea, tabs are good, colors are cute, and they are a nice thin material, but I find this is our ""last resort"" dipe when all the others are in the wash simply because of how poorly they stay on. It's also very bulky between the legs, and tend to leak or at least feel damp on the outside rather quickly.
But if they work well for other people...maybe I'm missing something? Maybe I bought the older version I dunno!

I love this cover. The gussets keep everything in. The velcro is soft and makes it easy to get a great fit. The laundry tabs stay done up in the wash. The small size is generous and still fits my chunkster.

love my Thirsties Covers!! When I initially did my research I didn't think I would be using a prefold/fitted and cover because I considered it to be ""double diapering"". Turns out I was wrong and it's all because of these fantastic diaper covers!
They are easy to use. If you are using a prefold, just fold it in thirds, tuck the front under the flap on the Thristies and you're ready to put on baby. If there is any pre-fold hanging out the back side of the diaper, the easiest thing to do is remove the diaper, roll the front of the prefold down an inch or so, then re-tuck the folded part of the prefold into the flap in the cover.
I have yet to have one leak on me. They wash great. They are so easy to use (thanks to Velcro.) They pack great in the diaper bag. I even use mine as a night time cover as long as I have a doubler in my pre-fold.
It has been said that Velcro doesn't hold up as well as snaps but I don't believe this to be true. If you get 'stuff' in the Velcro, wash and dry it, then clean the 'stuff' out with a toothpick. If your Velcro starts to get less sticky, wash it then dry it in warm heat because the hooks will retract and become sticky once again.
I would recommend this diaper cover to anyone!

These are my favorite covers! They are super-trim and I love the leg gussets. They fit very well, come in cool colors, easily wipe/rinse clean in between changes. They have stood up to many washing cycles and still look new. They are great over flats, prefolds or fitteds. I would highly recommend these covers.

This rating is for the version 1 extra small cover. This was one of our favorite covers for the newborn stage. Loved the umbilical swoop, plus a generous fit for use over prefolds or kissaluvs in our experience. Our daughter was a healthy 8 pounds at birth, a bit roly-poly and we appreciated that the legs weren't too tight and didn't leave marks on her, and the cover lasted us through 15 pounds so we definitely got our use out of it.
That said, the tabs started to fray after a bit (not just on the one I bought used, I subsequently bought another in size small and it also happened). I don't like the fit as much in the larger sizes, and I now prefer covers without velcro (who wants to wake a baby up to change, or have the tabs come undone in the wash to cause much destruction :). Still, I would buy this cover again in the extra small size but not in the larger sizes, and they may have fixed the tabs in the most recent version.

We just LOVE these Thirsties Fab Fitted Cloth diapers! They are so soft and absorbent! They come in a great selection of beautiful colors!
We have a 9 month old little girl and have been using these covers ever since she was born and have experienced NO LEAKS!

I started out really loving these covers (and the fitted diapers), but after about 2 months, the velcro tabs started pulling away from the fabric to the point that they were no longer usable. I was very disappointed, because I had hoped to use these diapers/covers through our next child as well. I contacted Thirsties, and they said these defects were very rare, but they happened to every single diaper and cover I owned, even though I followed the care instructions to the letter. I sent the damaged items to Thirsties, and they repaired them and sent them back, which was nice, but I am loathe to buy them again...
