Can someone please clarify how I use this product? I received as a gift. Do they go inside pocket diapers or inside a shell like Grovia Hybrid?

Either or...I use the KerrBear diapers and they have the pockets where you can slide the insert inside. It's up to you...I put the clothe insert on top instead of inside more so because if you put the insert on the inside of the diaper then you'll have to change both the cloth diaper along with the insert. I put mine on the top because my babe does not always leak through to the cloth diaper, so I can keep the diaper on her longer...hopefully all this makes since.

The inserts go inside the pocket of the diaper. With the GroVia Hybrids you could set them inside the shell. I use them in my Rumparooz pocket diapers. Make sure you prep your bamboo inserts... 5-8 hot washes with little or no detergent and dry in between each cycle. I hope this helps.

Since they are bamboo in the outside (ie natural fiber), you can use them either way!

I added extra inserts for more absorbency. And when you're putting the diaper on your baby, grab and kind of tuck the front of the diaper right inside the creases of your baby's legs. Adjust your snaps, you want a snug fit but not too tight.

To be honest, I thought the same thing and bought some myself, but never used them. I think you use them on the insert and then put the cover on? Never tried it that way. I do use the snappies on the other cloth diapers we have from our second child.

I haven't bit I've found that they work best for me when I fold them in a way where the back is wider. Then when I put it in the cover I fold down the front just a little. This way there is more coverage in the back for poo and a fold in the front to prevent pee from leaking at the top. Hope that helps.

These are pretty awesome, btw - one of the best cloth diapering inserts on the market. This product is an insert - you lay in inside a diaper cover like this bumgenious one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072FRFI6?tag=blself-20 . Assuming your child has only wet the diaper, you can just pull out the wet insert and put in a dry one, reusing the cover. This means you only need one cover for ever 3 or 4 changings. When your child goes number 2, the mess will likely spread onto the inside of the cover, and you'll want to wash both. If you are serious about cloth diapering, get a diaper sprayer: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00938R0XA?tag=blself-20 . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

I image. I use the FLIP and BUMGENIUS brands. These look like tissues, with a different type of material. You just lay them on top of the diaper so they should work with anything.

Thirsties duo wraps with osocozy normal (not better fit) works best for my little guy. The normal size diaper lets you fold over front or back, which kept him from leaking more than the better fit. I also like snappis to hold the diaper in place before putting on the wrap. I read you can use the wraps without snappis or pins, but my guy moves around too much. I've also been impressed by the ability of the thirsties wraps ability to contain all but the worse blow-outs.

They go inside the pocket diaper and work very well. Ive been using these with my daughter for 5 months and they absorb a lot! super easy to wash also.

I prepped in hot water. I washed them 3 times. They were super absorbent. Im now 4 months in. My son is heavy "front" wetter so I use 2 inserts in his pocket diapers now.

I am also not totally sure. We also used disposables for the first week. We had not yet discovered these. These have a pretty low rise though. They have a much lower rise than our one size pocket diapers did. I would guess that they would work fine for an average size newborn.

They are the diapers. There is a pocket that you can stuff a microfiber insert, a bamboo insert, or both. They come with both inserts.

You put them over the prefold cotton cloth diaper to keep the moisture from leeching onto your baby's clothing. If you don't have some sort of barrier, you will just have a wet baby! These are great because they are reusable and easy to wash. They don't last forever though, so don't be suprised if you end up needing to buy more after a few months. This brand is a little more durable so far than the store brand at Babies R Us though so we'll see!

The short answer is Yes, but I like my Traditional Fit diapers much better. The are easier to get on because they are longer, especially when my son is wiggling around (I use Thirsties wraps and Snappis to hold the diaper in place). And they didn't leak as soon. I stopped using my Better Fit diapers months ago, but my Traditional still work great. I have a few pocket diapers and the Better Fit worked better for those, but I would recommend the Traditional size if you are primarily going to use wraps.

Dear Amber, these inserts can be put in and out of the pocket diaper, washed separately.

mmm, no, the insert are for those cloth diapers that have pockets. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r15KaJmssKM this is where I learned a lot. No affiliation with the girl in the video, I don't know her, but I like the video. If you watch at minute 01:55, then after minute 09:40, you will know what I mean. The one we both have is designed to be re-used several times, while the ones with pockets you use inserts then put the whole thing in the wash. What you need with these are prefolds. Either buy them (some are really bulky, I regret buying them) or make your own. ANy cotton material should work. mmm, no, the insert are for those cloth diapers that have pockets.

Sallie, yes roll them up into a ball and drop them in. I wear XL and can get 14 diapers into one bag so I know when I finish a bag of diapers it is also time to change my bag in the pal. I know they say they can hold up to 25 diapers which I am sure they can depending on the size of the diapers. They are based on children sized diapers I'm sure. But by rolling the depends into a tight ball you can get a full pack inside. I have IC/Incontenence so I go through a diaper bag in 2 days-3 days, on bad days sometimes 1 bag a day. I love the locking/sealing/odor fighting mechanism that this diaper pal has so it does lock in the odor. On a good week I did go 4 days without having any smelly odors in restroom. I love it. I replaced it with another brand and will stick to this one again if I ever have to replace the pal again. I just reordered the 30 count bags as I am so pleased with them. They are also easy to take along with you in your travel diaper bag and no on knows you have been carrying diapers around with you if you have accidents where you can't leave diapers (like restaurants). I just go home and place the bag in the pal and use that as my next bag and sit it in the bottom of th4 pal until I'm ready to lock into the 4 slots. My own tip of the day making incontinence easier to live with.

They could be placed inside a prefold if extra absorbency is needed. You can place these in pocket diapers, layer on an All-in-one diaper, or even lay these inside a diaper cover (like a bum genius brand Flip diaper.) these are versatile and can be placed directly against babies skin if desired.
