Kawaii cloth diaper review

Kawaii cloth diaper Review

Eco-friendly Bamboo Minky cloth diaper Mom label


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Price: $11.20 each




About the diaper directly from their site:

  1. Multiple Tummy Cross Over Snaps to fit smaller waist
  2. Hip Snap Buttons help prevent Wing Drooping
  3. Three Rows of Rise Snap Buttons transform the diapers from newborn thru potty
  4. Added Front Panel - Avoid Leaking for Babies Sleeping on their Tummy
  5. Wider Back Pocket with flap - easy stuff and remove inserts
  6. 30 % more moisture absorption, high fiber density thus it's heavier
My review:

I love that they are soft when you first get them. I have notice they are not as soft on the inside after I line dry them even putting them in the dryer for a bit hasn't helped. The outside says soft though. The liners really do absorb alot.

I stuff all my diapers after I get them dried and then put them away. With these diapers I always have to check the liner and make sure they are laying flat inside diaper, they tend to bunch up when not being used. The liner is really thin so it doesn't add much bulk to the diaper which is great since it makes it easier to put pants on her.

The hip snaps are wonderful since they prevent the sides from drooping. The sizing is perfect compared to another diaper brand I have. I have to snap down to medium setting so I know these should last time I decide to potty train.

I have used these for at night, just double stuffed them and so far no leaks. I like all the diapers I have tried she still gets up at least once wanting a diaper change and something to drink. But that's normal for my 18 month old.

Honestly these are great diapers, but I don't know how they will do in the dead of summer here in El Paso. They seem like they might make her hot but we will see. I will update this when that time comes though.

You can see them in a size comparison here.

Now for my review.
I used these diaper on my daughter from 15 months plus. Since I had just started cloth diapering. These would work great on younger babies. I love the different fabric patterns that I was able to get from Sunbaby diapers, also it was a great starter package for me since for 24 diapers I only paid $108.00.

I love the design of the diaper. With the back flap and the hip snaps. I have a chunky legged baby so she did get red marks on her legs even if I didn't use the hip snaps. She also has a small waist so using the last hip snap was impossible to do because then the diaper would bunch and become uncomfortable for her.. My daughter is 18 months and about 23 lbs and she is on the last rise adjustment and no hip snaps, but she fits the waist.

We have had no leaks with the Sunbaby diaper even at night, I double stuff at night. She wakes up atleast once needing a diaper change but she is a heavy wetter at night and gets uncomfortable. She even did that with disposable diapers. The hip snaps are great in preventing drooping on the sides. The lining is very soft. You do have to wash them quite a bit when you first get them since there is a bit of odor from being packaged for so long.

It took about three weeks to get my order in. They come from China so that is too be expected and my word of advice don't call USPS when they get stuck in customs since they will just try to make it seem like you got scammed because you are dealing with China. The USPS was the only problem I had with the whole order and shipping process. I also had ordered before Christmas so that also made my shipping time take longer than what I have heard from others that had ordered Sunbaby diapers.
