So like I said I did a small review on my Sunbaby, Alvababy and a couple Gen-Y universal covers. Some things to remember are that I haven't used these diapers that much yet. I just got my order in of 20 Alvababy diapers B series Monday so I will update after I've used them a little bit. I'm also putting in an order for some 3-layer Alvababy bamboo inserts and a few Kawaii diapers. I have microfiber now.
The quality of the 20 are same as the E series (the one I revewied here) except that they have elastic on both sides of the pocket and no flap to cover the insert. Not sure if I'm going to like this or not but it doesn't really affect stuffing that much. I've had one leak with my Alva diaper so far and it was in the morning and I think that it was because there just wasn't enough absorbency for him. I did double stuff him for his nap and morning diaper today and he didn't leak with either (the nap was a Sunbaby). One thing to note that I've noticed right now is that when I double stuff the B series diaper it seems to stretch out the elastic in the back to where it doesn't hug his back. I didn't adjust my snaps on the rise though and I think if I did next time it would fit better.
After doing some internet research I found I could use my covers for swim diapers so we took a bubble bath yesterday with the smaller white Gen-Y cover and it looked like it would catch poop no problem. :D
I also wanted to share this website I found. It seems to be straight to the point and makes the most sense to me. http://thecloththatcounts.wordpress.com/2012/01/30/the-ultimate-cloth-diaper-care-resource-page/
***UPDATE***
I have fully switched to just Sunbaby pocket diapers and have been using them for about a year. For me the Alvas though wide in the crotch didn't seem to fit my sons chunky thighs as well as the Sunbaby's did. Also Sunbaby has a softer microfleece and is much more gentle on my sons thighs. I still like these diapers and they hold up great, I don't think I'll have a problem using them with my second due here in November. For the cost you can't beat the quality of these diapers. Right now I'm working on converting prefolds into fitteds for the new baby until he or she is large enough to fit into the pockets, plus from my understanding it's easier washing prefolds when you're washing that much. I had so many blow out issues with Johnathen until I started him on cloth at 8 months that I feel like a fitted will be better at catching poop. I'm currently trying to find out the best system for my time but it is hard to not have a baby to practice which methods works best. I plan on updating the blog with my conversions soon. :) Along with the Sunbaby's that I get through a co-op for about $4.50 a piece, insert included I buy bamboo liners from Bububibi to catch my little guys solids so it's an easier clean when out and about, I can get a roll of 100 liners for $5. They're awesome. I also am going to be using cloth wipes with the new baby so a post will be coming up soon about how that is going. I don't seeing it being a big deal since I can just wash them with my diapers anyways.
