Let me start by saying these diapers are THIN. Like, 'is-this-even-going-to-work?' thin when you first hold them. But surprise - after a month of testing with my 8lb newborn, we've had ZERO leaks during daytime use. The ultra-soft material feels gentler than Huggies on baby's thighs.
The absorbency shocked me - they wick moisture away impressively fast during regular pees. However, I learned the hard way that diarrhea is their kryptonite. Had two explosive blowouts that ruined cute onesies (RIP dinosaur outfit). The narrow tabs also struggle to contain my wiggly baby.
Nighttime performance is decent for 6-8 hours if your baby isn't a heavy wetter. But for heavy overnight pees? You'll wake up to damp PJs. The lack of wetness indicator is annoying - I found myself doing the awkward 'sniff test' way too often.
Biggest win? No rashes! My eczema-prone baby's skin stayed clear. At this price point, they're great for daytime changes when you're home and can monitor frequently. Would I trust them for a long car ride? Absolutely not.
Pro tip: Size up! The Size 1 fits more like newborn size. We're transitioning to Size 2 at just 9lbs.
