I purchased this at a very reasonable price of 7.49 and now it's up to 8.49 and I would have to say that Thirsties are a better bang for your buck at a few dollars more.
- CLOSURE: Velcro is very flimsy. My daughter - 5 months old - can easily wiggle out of these diapers unless I have a cover waste band tightly over the velcro, holding it in place - with movement the velcro easily pops open on its own. Thirsties uses I believe aplix velcro that is much sturdier and withstands wear and wash better. There are also no tabs to secure the velcro for washing, so you get lint build-up that further weakens the velcro.
- FABRIC: Cute pattern on a plastic material, but has its limitations. Thirsties is more of a PLU, plastic-lined polyester, which is more like fabric and has a bit of stretch, so the size range is greater. I purchased the Kushies medium size, as I recall a 15-18 lb. range - ??? - and it fit our baby very well at 14 lbs., but I don't see it lasting much longer than 16 lbs. It is a nice compact design, but because the fabric has no stretch, it has a more limited fit range.
Overall, it was a good product for the low cost that I initially paid, but as they say you get what you pay for and it will not last as long due to the limitations of the materials used. Get more detail about Kushies Taffeta Diaper Wrap - Infant.
