Does anyone have these!? I ordered 12 sunbaby diapers earlier this week and I plan to order 12-18 diapers to finish my stash! Most CD mommas say to order a few different kinds and to not invest in one brand. How well do they hold up and would you recommend them?

I would definitely try one before ordering a ton. I ordered 12 of the regular Kawaii pocket diapers...w/ microfleece and mf inserts. They did not work at all on my kids. Hated em. So I had to sell all of them.

Turns out though the Kawaii mom label work fantastic! LOVEEE them.

Maybe just get 1 used to try and then order more if you like em?

A good chunk of my stash is Kawaii. I bought them used and my only complaint is that they are quite large. It's a great trait for longevity, but takes a while for babies to start fitting into them. E was probably 14ish pounds before he could wear them well.

The mom labels are my favorite. I'd try a few before ordering a ton.

I love kawaiis. It was DD's first nighttime dipe and was most of our stash for a while. Now I'm about 48/48/2 with the stash. 48% Kawaii, 48% Fuzzibunz and 2% other
I recommend them!

I love the Kawaii mom label bamboo diapers. They are a generous diaper, so they won't work on newborns. My son is 22ish pounds and 15 months and is still on the medium rise setting (where in others he's on the top rise setting). The hip snaps do help them fit a bit better earlier than my regular Kawaii pockets did (though do note I sold those and only kept the mom label bamboo).

I hated coolababy, the legs were too big for my son. Kawaii were ok but smelled. I really like my alva 4.0's, they run $6.99 each on ebay and have double leg guessets

I agree Kawaiis work okay, but they do run larger than the Sunbaby OS (speaking of the Sunbaby size 1s, I know there's two sizes now). So the Sunbaby (size 1s) would work much earlier for a new baby.

I used to have what I now realise were Coolababy's - even though the company I bought them from slapped their own label on & told me it was their own design, and other assorted lies. They didn't hold up. 19 months in I haven't used one now for about 5 months, and well before 12 months I had thrown over half of them out. They didn't stand up well to hot washes - to the point they'd delaminate.

I MUCH prefer Sunbaby

I have 3 coolababies and I use them as a last resort. The way they snap makes them prone to leaks, IMO.

The rest of my stash is BG 4.0 pockets and Kawaii pockets (mostly the ultra-soft square crossover tab). I got rid of all my microfiber inserts because I hate them, and stuff all my pockets with bamboo or hemp. I love my Kawaii's the most and they fit so good (18lbs, 27 inches, 4 months old). My BG are more of a pain to wash because they hold poop smell longer than the Kawaiis. They are my second choice, after all my Kawaii are dirty.

Hope that helps.

You may want to order only about 2-3 of each type to start. I love Sunbaby, but Coolbaby leak on my son. Luckily I only have 2 of those.
I don't have any Kawaii, though have heard many good things about them.
