The Happy Heinys cloth diapering system works well for us. I use a variety of cloth diapers and found the HH diapers to be the best nighttime pocket diaper. If stuffed properly, they are very absorbent. They also hold up well after repeated washing. I've tried BumGenius, Bumkins, as well as many others and have not been as happy with the absorbency or the quality of the diaper. Both the velcro and snaps hold up well. I wish I had purchased HH first.

These are great diapers! I'm not a fan of velcro closures, but the Happy Heiny's are the only velcro diaper I like. The velcro has not stared seperating and the laundry tabs work well.

I've had very few leaks and it is workhorse of a diaper for me. Better then BumGenius and FuzziBunz in my opinion.

One of my top three favorite diapers along with Incredibellas and Sweet Pea diapers.

The one size is great. A little bulky, but all in all a good diaper. It was one of our first pocket diapers and they are is still holding up well, 20 months later and on child #2. My daughter was a heavy wetter so we experienced some leakage. We have a dark oriental fabric design HH pocket diaper that lost it's waterproofing outer early on. Throwing it in the dryer helped reseal it, but eventually the wetness comes right through anyway..it has basically earned an early retirement on the uppershelf in the closet. The other standard HH fabric outers have held up great and are still going strong through child #2 - a standard / light wetter. Comparable quality to FB... good name brand quality, nice doublers, cute designs, snug fits, easy wash, fleece holding up well too.

These diapers have held up really well. I have a heavy wetter and my only issue seems to be wicking from the top if I don't get it just right. I have a really chunky man and they fit him great. They would even fit on my 3 yr old (wanted to make sure they would last until potty training.)

The only cons are: the top sometimes rolls down causing wicking in the front and the rise snaps on a few of mine (I have 14) continually come unsnapped.

I would really recommend this diaper (with snaps) to all you mamas who want a diaper with a truly generous fit. Most of the OS diapers I've purchased are not going to last us until potty learning but I am certain this one will. The only minor detail that could be improved is that one of the snaps on the rise setting comes undone frequently, but this doesn't make enough of a difference to harm performance. Love this diaper.

I have been so pleased with this diaper, it is all I own. The only dowm side of it is that it is a little bulky on a newborn to 3 month old, but now that my son is older it fits him well and is not bulky at all.
I have been dealing with the happy heinys store and have been talking to Linda Byerline CEO, she has been so helpful with all of my questions. Great customer service. I appreciate it alot to have that with a company I am dealing with.

I have this diaper in a print and it leaks withen an hour of putting it on. I double stuff it even during the day because if I dont I will be changing DS clothes immediatly. I still try to use it as much as I can because it would be a waste of money not to but it seems those times are only during wash times. I would not reccomend this diaper to anyone.

I have 3 HHOS 2 prints 1 solid. My solid works fine. The prints leak out the front of the PUL. After many attempts to resolve this with Happy Heiny they refuse to acknowledge the defect or resolve the problem. Their customer service is horrible. I would never purchase from them again based on my email contact with the CEO of the company and quality of the product.

We have the HH One Size Pocket with SNAPS. We LOVE it. It is one of my favorite diapers. I wish we had more than one of them.

Our baby is a chunky monkey and even as a newborn had to wear larger size diapers because her thighs were so fat! This diaper worked great for us right from the start. Super soft. Super cute. Many size adjustments both in rise and at the waist. Two rows of snaps keep it from drooping and the overlapping snap closures were great when used on her at the newborn stage.

We have not had any leak issues with this diaper. Even when used as a night diaper.

These are my least favorite diapers. There are very many things that I do not like about these. 1) The elastic has no give. 2)They leak like crazy! 3) They are wayy to expensive considering the quality of the diapers 4) The velcro never stays together in the was and makes a diaper chain with every single thing it can stick to. I got these as a shower present I am very happy I did not buy these myself. I do not like them, they are my I need to do wash diapers. The diapers I like much better that are comparable would be Haute Pockets One Size Pocket (much cheaper) and the great Bum Genius 3.0 One Size Pocket. Save your money or atleast choose a better diaper.

These are excellent. I have been using these for 24 months on my son. Started out with 12 of them, but I liked them so much I bought another 6 and they are ALL that we use ie. We've just been using 18 nappies over and over for 2 years now. The fleece does start to pill after a while and the aplix tabs do curl up at the corners a little, but I'm not bothered about that cos they hardly ever leak at all and the PUL fabric still looks new after 2 years of repeated washings, the elastic has held up well, so it would be ok as handmedowns.

Shortly after I put the four HH OSed into our cloth diaper rotation I began noticing things happening to my THiRSTiES Duo Wraps' Aplix and noticed pilling on the outside of the wraps themselves. I noticed the Happy Heiny’s laundry tabs were open when I pulled them out of the washer and dryer. I searched the net for ways to correct this and overtime worked through some suggestions I found including cleaning out the Velcro and most recently the twist and Velcro method mentioned on the Happy Heinys site. None of it worked and over the course of the last few months the Happy Heinys laundry tabs have completely ruined one of my three Duo Wraps and began damaging the other two and my blue Duo Diaper. When I realized my Lavender Duo Wrap had become so extensively damaged it's now unusable I went to both the Happy Heinys site and BBB to look for contact information.

I sent off an email to Linda Byerline telling her about the issue. I attached a couple pictures to show her the damage. I asked her to refund or replace the HH diaper I bought new from Nicki's with one that has snaps, telling her I would supply invoice if she wanted it, and $12.25 so I could replace the Duo cover that I can no longer use because the Velcro strip across the belly was separating from the cover because of the HH. I even offered to return the refunded/replaced HHs with Aplix to her at my cost.

I have heard nothing back...not a confirmation that they received my email, not an ""I'm sorry"" or even an ""I'm sorry but we can't do anything for you!"", not even a ""Screw off!""...NOTHING!

I am a ####er for cute prints, and these come in some awesome, no-wicking prints. They do not fit well on a newborn (HH has a mini-one size that fits newborns up to about 10-15 pounds). After my daughter was into mediums, these fit her well. We use these often and have no leaking issues. The hook and loop is not as pretty as on some of my other diapers, but they are very useable.

EASY to stuff! Lots of rise adjusting snaps. Great diaper overall.

Happy Heiny makes a *fantastic* diaper. These diapers have outlasted every other diaper that I have bought and they are STILL looking good (unlike other pockets that I had to throw away years ago)! MY favorite part of this diaper is the pocket. I can stuff as much I need to and the diaper still fits well without leaking. Both my kids are heavy wetters and the Happy Heiny is the best thing that we have found for night time diapering. Diaper changes are easy and so is care and maintenance. I don't like how the Velcro gets attached to other diapers in the wash, but it has never affected the performance of the diaper so I can't complain! My son is three and still wearing his original diapers that I bought at night (he potty trained at 18 months!) and now my 11 month old daughter is wearing his hand me downs. They are lasting so well that I'll be able to pass them on.

When we first tried these, my daughter was 4 months old and petite with skinny legs. These leaked every time. I always made sure to never leave the house in one of these because we would end up in a puddle of pee and/or pooplosion.

But she is now 10.5 months old, about 18 pounds, getting bigger and chubbier (albeit still small for her age) and these are working much better for us. These are just not for smaller babies at all.

Pros:
~When cleaning, poo sprays off the inner fabric more easily than with Bum Genius
~The aplix fits much more securely than my Bum Genius aplix, and looks easier to replace should the need ever arise

Cons:
~Laundry tabs have never worked; we are always pulling diaper chains out of the washer
~Sizing snaps don't hold well and often pop open when I'm trying to put the diaper on
~Leaves red mark across my baby's back
~Inserts do not have snaps
~Inserts stick out of the back

All in all, a decent diaper. I'm glad I was patient with them because they're turning out to be OK.

Not a big fan. We have tried other pocket diapers and these ones have ended up at the bottom of the list. It's funny because I was reading reviews and a lot of people complain that these diapers are not for kids with slimmer legs. Well my little one has chunky thighs and they still don't fit. We get leaks ALL the time. Also, the velcro tabs are so annoying, if you forget to close them up before you throw them in the laundry, they get caught on everything (and I do have other velcro dipes that don't do that, that said, I'm going off velcro more and more anyway). Just not the diaper for us.

So far I really like these diapers. I liked the idea of having them for when my mom watches our son so she doesn't have to deal with pre-folds and wraps.

I love the store I went to, they just opened up and the owner was really nice and helpful.

I hope I continue to like these diapers, they are just a little bulky right now for my small guy.

Pros: Great fit, generous cut, soft fleece, well made, no leaks (I like to use it at night), easy to use (I have aplix), microfleece leaves my son's skin looking great even after overnight.

Cons: The microfleece gets stinky before any of my other diapers. Easily fixed by stripping or adding a little bleach occasionally. I've had trouble lately with the velcro irritating my son's tummy, but he has very sensitive skin.

Overall, I like this diaper, but I don't reach for it consistently because of the aplix irritating my son's skin. If it wasn't for that I would love it.

They are okay but if I had more CD experience before buying I would have bought something else. I have found that I prefer natural materials and I dislike velcro. The laundry tabs don't work and the hook and loop closures grab onto and snag dipes in the wash/dryer. These diapers are not bad, I just like others so much better. I prefer trimmer options. However, I got my HHs at a great price during the holidays and for just $14 a piece they are a great all around diaper that I do use frequently.

This diaper is passable. Def not the first I reach for. But the inserts are nice and the diaper is fairly trim. My youngest pees a lot less than my oldest so they are fairly reliable. My issue is with the velcro tabs, they roll in and scratch my son's belly so bad that it welts.

I have to quote ""September"" for most of my review because my experience is similkar!

""I ordered this diaper in the Cow Hide print with the Velcro closure.""

""The reason I gave it 4 is because the snaps kept popping open as I was trying to diaper my baby.""

I'd also have to complain about the velcro not sticking on the laundry tabs well and coming out of the washer stuck to other diapers. But the inserts dry quickly and we haven't had any leaks since the beginning, when my sons legs may still have been too skinny for the best fit.

""As far as quality and materials go the outer, waterproof material is thin, the inside is soft, and the inserts are thick and very, very absorbent. I also really like the colors and prints available. ""

I bought them because I couldn't resist the cow print!

The positive thing about these diapers is that they are super soft, fasten very securely on baby (much better than BG - best velcro I've seen), absorb well without being too bulky, are big enough to likely fit through potty training, and have great colors.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of things Dad and I dislike:
- the velcro always comes undone in the wash and gets caught on everything;
- when my baby is between sizes they fit terribly causing either leaks in the legs or leaving a big red line across her back (this can be fixed by pulling the fleece up in back so it sticks out, but is too much extra work in my opinion - especially for daycare workers);
- not the easiest to stuff since we have to fold the liner in (no snap to keep it folded) and the PUL lining is kind of rubbery on the inside;
- baby was between 10-12 lbs before she initially fit into them.

I wanted to like these but just found them to be leaky. I tried to work things out for about 10 days before giving up. When my 2 year old DD would wet, the pocket liner would bunch in the middle and then the liquid would seep through to the insides of her legs. I had to change her pants several times a day.
The fit was fine, the velcro sturdy, the colors cute...but she couldn't stay dry in them for more than an hour or so.

I have been using these diapers for 3 months now. They are the first diapers I reach for at changing time. They are a workhorse. Look cute, great color selection, and never a leak, even overnight. I really love how sturdy they are, strong fabric and strong seams, but super soft against my daughter's skin.

They are easy to clean, I have no stink issues or staining problems. If the inserts get stained, I simply sun them out for about an hour and they are good as new. But, do not bother using the laundry tabs, they are useless. Simply fold the tabs and twist like others have mentioned.

Overnight I simply use both inserts and set the rise one size higher than I normally would. We have had no leaks doing it this way.

My daughter is a slim and tiny baby (only 15 pounds at 9 months) and these fit her just fine. Nice and trim for a pocket and super cute.

This diaper is not design for slim or average babies. This diaper would fit better for a chubby baby.
The elastic in the back is to tight. Has not a nice piece of fabric so you'll get nasty red marks. And the most important of all:
BEWARE!!!! Since this diaper has not an extra pocket in the back of the diaper the poop came out of the diaper. And please note: was not a big poop. Do not want to imagine how bad that can be! I'd say: just get one for the picture.(cow)
Good: nice print, very soft, hold up to 10 hours, no leaks.
Good Luck!

This is not one of my favorite diapers. The leg holes seemed to be too big for my son. So I have it on the next to last setting and it seems to be fit but it's not reliable. Sometimes the rise snaps come undone when I'm trying to put the diaper on my squirmy 1yr old.

Also the extra fleece sticks out the top and I'm worried that the pee will leak out.

And the insert didn't fill the entire width of the diaper, so I have to use the doubler just to make sure the insert doesn't shift which makes for a very thick diaper.

I don't hate this diaper but like I said this is not my favorite. It is usually the last in my pile.

After trying Happy Heinys in a sampler pack, I purchased an additional 6-pack. I thought I was going to really love this diaper. I do like it, but it's not my favorite. Over the 4 months I've had them, I have sold 5, leaving 2 in my stash.

They fit my ""average"" guy really well, though I can't see them fitting small or thin babies. I love the 4 rise settings, and the colors are great! I also really like the wider aplix tabs that have a nice crossover for lots of adjustment. The fleece lining is a bit thinner than my other OS pockets, but it has held up well and keeps DS dry. I haven't had any problems with the laundry tabs. The inserts have been more than enough absorbency for my guy during the day. I originally was able to use them overnight, as well, but they have since stopped working so well for that. They do have a nice big pocket for stuffing though. The crotch seems a smidge wider than my other pockets. This can be both a pro and a con, but generally, I haven't found this to be a problem.

Even though I only have 2 of my original 7, I am still giving this diaper a 4. I think it is really well made and quite versatile in terms of fit. There are just other pockets that I loved more. Still, I would recommend that anyone try this diaper!

I purchased these brand new but was unable to really use them until my son was much older. The leg holes are meant for babies with chunkier thighs. I did not care for the velcro being so thick. Also, I had a hard time with the laundry tabs. The HH's I had ruined 2 other diapers before I saw you should attach the tabs to each other, not the laundry tabs.

The function is great once they fit. I rarely had a leak. I like the two inserts, they aren't super absorbent but my son isn't a heavy wetter.

I would probably like the snaps version much better than the velcro. I would have given it a 4 if not for the velcro.

I bought 12 hh's last summer in anticipation for our new little boy who was arriving at the end of december. I heard lots of great things about these diapers and I was new to the whole CD'ing thing so I thought I would give them a try. I didnt get to use them until he was just over 2 months old as he has small legs and they just didnt fit. I used them with 12 other used hh that I had bought. I used them for about 2 weeks. I find that they leak horribly, but I read that it could be that its because he has really small legs. I sold my 12 used hh's and bought 12 BG's instead. I have been using the 12 BG's only and have 12 more on the way. I still have the 12 new hh's and I am hoping that they will fit him better when he gets bigger. I love the colours, especially the cow print..i bought 3 of those! I am optimistic that these will work for him, we just have to give it time.

I also found a defect in one of the diapers (the fleece was attached underneath one of the snaps so that the insert couldnt be pushed all the way in) I contacted Laura at MTCD and she contacted HH and she was able to send me a new dipe at no charge. I am happy with the customer service that I recieved

I like these diapers, but had a problem with a snap on a diaper. It fell off on the first use! When this happens Happy Heinys will repair it but you have to pay for shipping to their company according to the owner, Linda. Luckily when I phoned the company I spoke with Heather and she was great - excellent customer service from Heather.

About the diapers themselves, I find these work so well for nighttime, I have a hemp insert under a microfibre insert. Never had a leak with these (I had leaks with Fuzzi Bunz every time). They wash well, easy to wash the snaps version. Although, the fleece really looks worn after a few washes. Still functions, just doesn't feel nearly as soft as when brand new.

I have two children in diapers. These fit my two year old very well, with room to expand to the largest setting later. For my six month old, however, I cannot get a good fit with the snaps version. I think when a child is in between snap settings the fit is compromised. You either have to have it too tight (and bunched up at the top) or too loose. Also, the crossover tabs are good in theory, but my daughter would need the snap setting on the crossover tabs that is capped off - my only way around this is to leave the first two snaps on the tab unsnapped.

With pocket diapers I have found that you need to discover the brand that fits your child the best to be satisfied with the diapers performance.

Happy Heinys one-size has lasted my daughter the entire time she's been in diapers. This diaper has so much room, even for her puffy thighs. I love everything about this diaper:
1) It works well day and night- I stuff it with a couple hemp stuffins or a few Hemp Babies to go through the night.
2) It allows for her chubby thighs
3) The velcro still holds strong
4) The velcro tabs work well
5) It wash up like a dream
6) Easy to stuff
7) Doesn't leak
8) And has stood the test of time

Happy Heinys you rock!

We LOVE this diaper!!! We have never had a problem with them, they have held up great to our 2.5 year old super soaker as well as our baby ... LOVE being able to just grab and go diapers not having to worry about size, just snap, snap, snap and you are set! The prints have been a great hit with our son as well. He loves picking out his diaper and head over heels in love with the Silly Monkey print.

We have a Happy heinys onesize diaper with snaps that we use overnight with our 37 lb 3 year old. We did switch the inserts to our own favorites, but we love the diaper! The snaps work well, it has never leaked, and it holds her 12+ hours overnight easily. (We use a SuperDo insert with a Just-Hemp insert together.)

The fleece inside has stayed soft and hasn't pilled hardly at all. It fits our daughter well (tall & skinny) and doesn't leave gaps at the legs. No red marks either.

At 37 lbs, our daughter is technically at the top of the weight range, however, the fit is so nice that she'll be able to wear these until 40 lbs pretty easily. She has plenty of growing space.

The one-size feature is a nice idea, but it doesn't work in practice. Either it's too tight around the waist or there's a gap; and in either case will still leak. Our son's clothes are regularly soaked (both tops and bottoms)--and it's not because the inserts are overfull.

Also, these diapers plain stink. The inserts (I assume) begin to emit an awful odor after regular use which does not come out upon washing. Although they may smell fine immediately after being laundered, they become foul with the first bit of wetness. (I've read that bleach remedies this, but haven't tried it yet.)

Finally, there's virtually no product support from Happy Heiny's. They provide only the most basic usage and laundering instructions. If you want to know anything else, you either have to undergo a tiring process of trial and error or you must spend hours scouring the Internet in the hope that some other parent has already had a similar problem and has been kind enough to share their solution.

Surely there's a better diaper out there!

Fantastic one size diaper! The package price for 12 is a deal. No leaking, easy to stuff, durable, great color selection! Works great at night time and washes well. It now comes with snaps instead off hook and loop!

I loved dealing with Laura form More Than Cloth Diapers. She answered all my questions and had great ideas about how to stop these diapers from wicking. Which is my problem with these diapers. I literally can count on one hand the times these diapers have NOT wicked. They were horrible. The insert wouldn't even be wet and they would leak. I stripped them several times. I used the exact detergent to the exact amount they recommened and they still leaked.

I used many different inserts and combinations of inserts. (bamboo, hemp, microfiber, etc.)

I would have given them a 3 because I really liked the snaps. (I bought the snap version instead of the velco.) However, I contacted Linda from Happy Heiny's and wanted her advice because she is the manufacturer. She told me basically the same stuff that Laura did. I was hoping she would do something for me as these diapers have leaked since I bought them and I was following all their instructions. (I know that no one covers leaks, but they drove me insane.)

At first she returned all my inquires promptly. Then, it was like she dropped off the face of the earth. I have not heard from her since e-mailing her several times in the past month. I don't have the money to spend on expensive diapers if they don't 'work' and if the customer service is not great on the manufacturer's end. I have heard the exact opposite comments about Linda and had hoped for better as I wanted to love these diapers (they have great colors), but I would not recommend these diapers.

I use Bum Genius 3.0 OS or fitteds/prefolds now and have not had any problems.

I've tried many different one-size diapers and this is my favorite so far, and one way I can get my husband to use cloths on the baby because it's so easy!

It's a great fitting diaper. It fits my 4 month old and my 2 1/2 year old perfectly! It's so much less bulky between the legs than other pocket dipes, yet really keeps the stuff in! It keeps baby dry, and is so easy to use. I love that they are velcro (easier and faster than snaps) and the opening is nice and wide so they stuff easily too.

I highly reccomend this diaper but first here is a bit of advice:

If they seem to leak at first, just wash them more! It sometimes takes a few washes for the fleece to work properly, or u could try stripping it. Mine leaked at first but now they work great and I luv them! The only time they leak is if I don't stuff them enough or forget to change baby for too long.

If the laundry tabs don't work well for you, try just fastening the diaper like u would on the baby b4 washing. Works for me!

Keep in mind some of the reviews are for the old-style ones where the fleece rolls out along the legs. Those aren't really on the market anymore! But I did like those 2!

I have found that these diapers wick mosture out the side as the nice soft fleecy inside is rolled out for the baby's comfort. It may have been because I have a little boy and if he is pointing north-west instead of due south then the accumulation of moisture on the edge of the diaper causes wicking. I found I could only use them as an around the house diaper for short times and mostly even them came away with wet undershirts. They did hold up well, and dried quickly. I also found that you need to make sure the fleece is pulled up over the ""pocket"" to cover the rear elastic,or red marks are left across bubs back - this can be tricky on a wriggly, just learned to turn over and crawl baby.The one size is quite generous with four possible sizes, however at verging on 10 months we are growing out of them. Prefer Bum Genius (out-grown also).Was able to resell locally at resonable price.

I probably would have rated this a 4 if not for the new snap version. I don't have that version but I'm very happy that they made it since it seemed for a while that all the pocket one sizes were velcro.

We've had this in our diaper bag for outings since day one. The velcro doesn't fasten as well anymore and always has been a bit awkward / bulky, but it still works. The fit is good though not as trim as the Bum Genius one size, but has contained messy BF poos well and I don't recall having a leak in it. We don't use it daily but the fleece seems to pill than some other brands. The BG suedecloth seems to have held up better with washing and use.

This one seems like it might last longer than the BG as the rise is definitely higher (as long as the velcro remains functional). I like that it came with two inserts. I have other pockets that came with hemp inserts and since my daughter wets more heavily now I put microfiber inserts on top of a natural ones these days anyway so I still get use out of both. We always put it in a mesh bag to wash as this one definitely causes a ruckus in the washer if it escapes its bag.

LOVE the new prints- so much fun to put on my daughter. I am so happy that Happy Heinys came out with snaps. I'm not a fan of velcro but I love HH's diapers so I was so happy when I heard the news. I have all of the fun prints and love that they have a bigger fit and fit both my 1 year old and my 4 year old (for overnight).

Fast shipping from Ecobabies was appreciated:)

These diapers are a great way to save money! Plus, they have adorable new prints (monkeys, peace bears, cowhide!) and great colors.

The velcro tabs are very sticky. They come with two inserts, 1 small and 1 large. You really shouldn't need another insert.

The pocket is large and easy to stuff.

Overall, a great diaper!

I really like these diapers. I like that there are two sizes for the insert which doesn't cause as much bulk as with some that have an adjustable insert. Many people say that the tabs come undone. Which is true, but on the HH website they gave a suggestion that you fold the tabs behind and twist one side and velcro them together. I think they might have a pic. I started doing that and they haven't come undone since I started. I like the patterns and colors. They are lots of fun.

These diapers are so easy to use. I love the idea of a one size. My DD is older now, so I didn't get to experience them through the whole range of stages, but they work great on her now. We typically use Green Earth prefolds and a hand knit wool cover, but DD loves the variety! A great part of our stash! Our babysitter will even use it. :-)
