Blueberry diapers

I got my first Blueberries thru a friend of a friend that was destashing.We started out with the Cow print minkee,Fire Opal Minkee,Orange Minkee, and a basic Aqua Blueberry.The minkees have Aplix or Velcro and the Basic has snaps.First of all these are my night time solution .I stuffed them til recently with a Thirsties hemp contour insert and 3 microfiber doublers.All the sudden J has become a heavier wetter and needs more absorbancy.I have added a fun Blueberry in a Blue dot print from Diaper swappers recently and I am loving it.
These diapers fit great everywhere give J lots of wiggling room and are just overall a great diaper.There is one downside and that is the cost they are more spendy than some pocket diapers. They run about $25 a diaper.I would definitely say they are worth the investment.
They get my seal of approval and rank among the top diaper in our stash.I give them a 5 out of 5.

Kushies diapers

My friend Ann gave me a Kushies diaper to try that she got on Ebay.First off I have to say I was a little skeptical cause I immediately noticed how plastic and stiff the diaper felt.The way a diaper feels on the outside and the way it moves on my now mobile and crawling 9.5 month old is super important to me.J needs something that can accomodate how much J is moving now.It did quilt up very nice on the inside it was super soft for J to wear from that standpoint.
Another big issue was the leg holes.Josh has super chubby hips and upper thighs so they left red marks on his poor little legs.Plus they were so wide that he peed right out the side.
The one plus of this diaper was the velcro tabs they stayed put after I put the diaper on him and also when I fastened them in the wash they didn't create a diaper train.If you have mostly aplix or velcro diapers like I do then you know what I am talking about.
Overall on my ratings system of 5 points I give this a 2 points out of 5.I definitely won't reach for it as my first choice but rather as a backup so I don't have to use a sposie when everything is in the wash.
