"My favorite is Thirsties Natural Pocket diaper with Hook & Loop (velcro)!"
"Thirsties wraps are great. And Green Mountain Diapers has the best prefolds!"
"Our favorite are esembly and thirsties duo."

"The Thirsties newborn ones are great."

"They have a wide range of sizes and have never leaked on us."
"We cloth diaper with prefolds from a diaper service and Thirsties covers. It is working great! Thirsties work much better than disposables so far for my active kid."

Alva
4.6
(13)
"I bought Alva pocket shells on their website and stuff them with prefolds. It works great! The Alva pockets are really cheap if you buy on their website and do a multi pack with no inserts."
"I love my Alva Baby. I typically order directly from their website, you get more design options and you can bulk order."
"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."
"We use Alva covers and a mix of bamboo, hemp and microfibre inserts as well as using flats for inserts too."
"I need to order a few more and have been debating just going for Alva"
"If its cost you are looking at Alva might be great"
"I love my alva"
"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."
