Alva

"What is best for our family is Alva Baby pocket diapers. If you buy in bulk direct from the manufacturer website they are FAR cheaper than any other cloth diapers."

"I've used my Alva since my first born which is 6 yrs ago."
"We still use the newborn inserts as boosters at night at 15mo."
"On the alva website you can buy the pockets without the microfiber! I think it makes them slightly cheaper too."
