BabyKicks Premium pocket diaper.... to the rescue!

          I have won and been given a most of the diapers I use on baby Ray, almost all of the diapers I have are Pocket Diapers. I just am not a big fan of them.
           Dont get me wrong... I like them I like that they are convenient, I love the look and they are pretty easy to wash, Microfiber inserts are very very easy to hand wash! As an advocate for cloth I promote them because the concept of pockets are great for sceptical parents dipping a toe in to the cloth is cool pool. But my Baby seems to no like the way wetness feels on the microsuade and fleece in them Enter BabyKicks Premium Pocket diapers! I recently got the opportunity to try a BabyKicks premium Pocket diaper, Well I am changing my tune has changed here! The inside of these are different than anything I have ever seen in a Modern Cloth diaper,
This from the babyKicks site...
 

• Natural fiber inner lining is incredibly soft Bamboo Velour (against baby’s skin) made of luxurious 30% Certified Organic Cotton and 70% Rayon made from Bamboo. The material will remain soft, absorbent and silky wash after wash

and I tell you what, it really really makes a difference, My baby had been circumcised a few days before and the normal pockets were not comfortable at all for him so I was using flats and disposables, every single time he peed he was getting upset. so I said "ok I will try the New diaper" he was obviously more comfortable and wore it for a couple hours, the diaper was so absorbent and soft on his skin that there wasn't even a hint of Urine left on his skin.

Baby Ray is 6 weeks old and Weighs 10lbs he is Tall and some of his diapers are still loose to fit his skinny booty, NOT the BabyKicks the Amazing hook/and Loops adjusted to both make him fit in the waist and took up the slack in the booty that cause a gap in some diapers. I was actually shocked at how well the diaper fit Raylan, it didnt look bulky and while I have NOT yet put pants over the diaper, I have no doubt that it was trim enough to look normal in his correctly sized clothing. THe Adjustability is such that a baby much smaller than Ray would fit in this diaper, I believe a 6 or 7 lb baby would be just as "Fit" and trim in the Premium pocket.

The Adjustable hemp insert fits in the diaper and Unlike other popular pockets is inserted into the front so the folded over part, (folded over for smaller babies) doesn't slide around and bulk up the front of the diaper. Hook and loop closer actually helps in this because the wide loop section keeps the diaper and insert where it belongs!Another thing about the Hook and Loops, they are not like velcro in other diapers it has shorter more organized looking hooks and the laundry tabs actually work to keep it from sticking, I prepped this bad boy with towels and with diapers and it stuck to Neither!
I am very curious about the Side Snaps on the other BabyKicks Closer. I Never have tried it but as a person who normally picks snaps I fear I have fallen too in love with Baby Kicks H/L to order them! Whats a Mom to do??

THe only even remotely negative thing I can think of so far is that the fleece "Air Gussets" seem to have some pilling after laundering a few times, I am going to take some scissors and fix this later and The Air flow seems to agree with my baby so dispite the pilling I am a fan of the "air gusset" technology and I wish other diapers would employ a similar style!

I am hope to be trying a LOT of babyKicks products in the next year and I will be surprised if any are  as Cute as the Premium pocket I got this month but I am looking forward to the quality that I am experiencing with this diaper!


BabyKicks Diapers are available at a lot of online retailer, and on the BabyKicks Website
