Charlie Banana Baby Disposable D+C2:C22iaper Inserts for Ba+C2:C22bies and Toddlers, Works with Most Cloth Diapers, Unscented, 32-Pack

I bought Flip diaper covers and were excited to use them. After doing some research I settled on Softbums Hpods to use as disposable inserts. Even though their website it up and I ordered from them, I never received my items so I was stuck trying to find another disposable insert. Pampers used to have some (exclusively at Target) but discontinued them. Hybrid systems are a great alternative to putting more waste in landfills and Pampers suggested using Charlie Banana inserts, so I relented and bought them. (I've been using Honest diapers normally).First off, I'm not sure why inserts are more expensive than an entire diaper, which has more material, adhesive tabs, etc. These are even more expensive than an Honest diaper, and these inserts are made in China to boot. I used them several times but I was not impressed with the absorbency. When I would change my boy it felt like the moisture was very close to the surface and against his skin, instead of getting wicked away like in normal diapers. They were ALWAYS saturated too, even though I checked and changed more frequently, because I didn't have that blue line on the exterior telling me he was wet. The quilting on the pad isn't very deep, and I wonder if that is the problem...?The good news is the size seems to fit my Flip covers perfectly.Really wanted to like these, and perhaps doubled up they might work, but that would be really expensive and kind of defeat the purpose.

I usually get GroVia disposable inserts but they have been out for months. Also GroVia cost more. These are the only ones that do the job. You won’t find any other ones for a decent price. You might as well go all cloth or switch back to disposable.

I was using a different, more natural insert until it was unavailable for a long period of time. That's when I discovered Charlie Banana. It's a nice alternative to what I was using. Though it's a little long, it still gets the job done without traces of those pesky little gel breads stuck to my baby after him wearing it all night. I won't go near Sposie for that reason. This is a good fix.

My daughter had an allergic reaction to these inserts. Don’t absorb very well.

For a mom who uses both cloth diapers and disposables (for night time and traveling) I thought I would love this product, the best of both worlds in a sense. Sadly I disagree with myself now, it’s all the hassle (I love cloth BTW) of cloth (washing the shells) and the added trash from the disposable inserts.Do they work, yes technically, they catch pee but don’t hold as much as a disposable diaper would. They also kept all the poop contained at least for my toddler they did.As a price comparison the disposables I use cost .20 a piece and these are .50 a piece, so you pay more for these and they don’t work nearly as well as a disposable. Only 1 scenario I could see these actual being efficient, you cloth diaper more than one child and those children wear different size disposables and you use these inserts so sparingly that your afraid you wouldn’t use a package of diapers in that time frame (these adjust by just folding them down so they fit all sizes).
