Esembly Cloth Nappy Inner, Trim-Fitting, Certified Organic Cotton, Reusable and Absorbent Leak-Proof Inserts with Poppers for Eco-Friendly Nappying, 3-Pack Size 1 (7-17lbs)

We took the Essembly diapering 101 class and it helped us prepare to cloth diaper our baby before she was born. We ended up buying the recommended number of diapers (24 inners and 7 outters) as well as cloth safe every day ointment (coconut oil), and diaper rash cream (zinc based). We also bought overnight inserts and the tossers. We mostly use our cloth diapers, but we use disposables on the go, or when our daughter gets a stubborn diaper rash that won’t go away. We specifically do disposables for stubborn diaper rashes so we can use heavier creams (like the 40% zinc decitin diaper rash cream) without harming the cotton inners. And while coconut oil works for the most part for helping her with painful constipation, we also use disposables for when she needs aquafer to help with the constipation. The diapers have held up really well. We have zero issues with the heavy duty cotton material or any stitching. We follow the essembly laundering instructions and use the essembly detergent with the agitator balls. We wash them with a normal wash followed by a heavy duty wash and then 1.5 hours times dry. One thing that can be annoying is that the absorbent layers tend to get bunched up. We have to fold them backwards (to the outside) and carefully flatten them to get many of them to sort of lay flat. When going through as many diapers as we do, we often don’t have time to fold, and then we are just trying to get them flat against our babies skin, and sometimes they still end up rumpled if we aren’t careful. I think those rumbles are why she ends up with stubborn rashes, and I’ve tried to tell my husband we need to flatten them, but it’s difficult and neither of us have time to fold diapers every day. Which gets me to my next point. Thank goodness for cloth diapers. My little girl believes in doing lots of little pees and then crying the moment her diaper is dirty (whether it’s disposable or cloth). We go through about 12 inners a day when we are full time cloth, which is a laundry load a day. As long as we properly enclose the inner with the outer we have no leaks. When my husband is going too fast and doesn’t pay attention to the inner sticking out past the out around the legs or on the back, then the inner absorbs liquid and sends it straight to the clothing. We have never had a blowout. As for fit, they worked really well for awhile. My daughter is below average weight with above average height, and thick thighs. Thus, we are finding we have to size up in ever diaper before the hits the max weight because her thighs become to tight. We have pushed these into the groin as much as possible, and yet we still are at the point of struggling to snap them around her thighs. They are a little loose around the waist even though they are so tight around her groin/thigh (the inners have only one row of snaps while the outters have two rows. We have the inners a snap tighter on the top row than on the thigh row.) they are also quite far below her belly button at this point. So, this means our 15.5 pound, 27inch long, almost 7 month old little girl is moving to size 2 inners in the next couple of days even though size 1 was supposed to fit till 17 lbs. (I’m sad to say goodbye to the cute outers we had for size 1, but I also have some new cute outters for size 2, so just like all cute baby clothes, it’s time for out with old, and in either the new). Overall, we love these diapers. I highly recommend them even with the folding up inside the diaper issue and my baby being a weird fit. Baby girl always seems comfortable in them, the cotton material of the inners is good quality. And they are easy to wash. P.S Essembly has new inners on their website that are sort of a mix between these and prefolds. I really want to try them with the next size up and see if those help with the awkward bottom shape.

Nb baby and loving them even that can leak a bit with a the loose first poops

I have clothe diapered for 13+ years. These are really well made and an excellent leak proof organic cotton diapers. A lot of the negative reviews are clearly coming from user errors or a lack of understanding what happens when you wash cotton diapers repeatedly or wash them with an agitator or let them sit dirty for too many days without washing (people complaining about mold and stains) organic cotton is very soft which means it will wear like organic cotton does. Comfort and abdorbancy come first. Always hot wash your diapers with a pre wash every 2 days, don't soak them. Stains happen without proper dirty diaper detergent. The sun can take out every stain so you can always dry them in the sun to fix stains. Excellent poop diapers. Exceptional overnight diaper. Great fit. Any experienced clothe diapering mama would give these a rave review ❤️

These have been amazing for my little girl, they’re so easy to wash (cold rinse with a little detergent and then a hot cycle and an extra rinse with a little more) and they fit perfectly! I’m definitely purchasing the next size up when she grows out of these. Wish me luck for when she starts solids 🤪

Zero absorbency. We tried really hard to use these. Even with the overnight inserts the wetness goes right through. The idea is awesome but the reality is these are not practical.
