Baby Products Reviews of Kushies 5 Pack Reusable Ultra Diapers for Infants
Customer Review: These ARE our nighttime diapers
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a 5-pack of these diapers before my daughter was born, as well as some other cloth diaper solutions. We tried to put her in them before she was 10 pounds (born at 6.5lbs), and found they leaked horribly. Disappointed, I washed them and put them away for a few weeks. Once she reached 10 pounds, these diapers magically fit her properly! They do create that funny bubble-butt effect that you get with all cloth diapers - It helps a little with balance sitting up and I find it kind of endearing. We now own 15 of these plus a couple of other AIOs. We use them exclusively and I do a diaper wash every other day.
The plasticy outer layer definitely prevents soak-through. She sleeps a full 9 hours at night and wakes up happy and comfortable in these, and her bedsheets are dry. My husband is very happy to use these, and so is my mother! (My husband was on board initially, but not so much my mom...)
I made sure to wash these at least once for better absorbancy when they were new before I put the baby in them. I wash these with clear & free laundry soap, (but NOT baby laundry soap) for better stain removal, and I use a scoop of Oxi Clean. When drying them in the dryer, I use the timed-dry setting for 40-45 minutes. The dryness sensor on my dryer cannot tell how long to dry these for and they come out damp.

Ok...I truly wanted to be earth conscious...really I did! So I put 2 pkgs of these on my baby registry. He was too small to fit the Kushies as a newborn so I used disposable. Take the diaper off...push it down the diaper genie....easy! I LOVE IT!
Then I find out that I gave birth to a little boy who can go through 10 diapers a day. That's about a $100 of Kushies...and my complete set. SO that means I would come home from a full day of teaching first graders to the joy of scrubbing stains and dirty diaper laundry. (No I can't use the liners as I have a SEPTIC TANK). Now I'd need at least 2 more packs in case I was too tired to scrub. Now my little boy is growing tall and fast like his Dad and I, so I don't think I'll get a year out of my Kushies.
So...BACK TO THE STORE THEY WENT...they are just too expensive to stock up on what I need and MUCH too expensive in the regards of the time I would need to clean them. I'd rather spend the time enjoying my son after work then doing laundry. I give the Kushies 3 stars as they are nicely made, thick and comfy looking. So kudos to all you folks who are enjoying the kushies...I salute you! They are just too EXPENSIVE for me!
Customer Review: Not worth it even for the great price
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm sorry to report that I do not like these diapers at all. When I first ventured into the world of cloth diapers, I was appalled at how expensive they can be so I was delighted to find Kushies since they are such a reasonable price. However, I have found them to be more trouble than they are worth. I had many leaking issues with our girls; if I tried to make them as tight as possible to prevent leaking, they left marks on the girls; they got worn out within several months and started to tear at the seams; they are very bulky, etc.
I also tried a cheaper brand called Mother-Ease and I would recommend those if you're trying to not spend too much money, but also don't want to have leaking issues. But if you are lucky enough, try to find some of the really good brands second-hand/used. I just found 8 Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers with 8 Hemp liners for only $5 DOLLARS at a yard sale!!! What a steal?!? And they are AWESOME! I can see why they are so expensive brand new because they seem to work great and they have long life and they are not bulky at all - they fit just like a disposable diaper!
Sorry Kushies!!!
Customer Review: Another of these Baby Friendly products!
Summary: 5 Stars
My aunt uses these diapers for my little cousin. They are great and easy to use! I would recommend these diapers to any parents who have a washer and dryer at home. It saves a lot money which is a wonderful thing about these diapers. I changed my little cousin in these diapers a lot when I was staying with them. We used the cloths under these diapers though.
They are much easier for a first time parent to use than the old-fashioned cloth diapers.
Now my little cousin is using toddler kushie diapers since she was too big for these infant kushie diapers.
My aunt wishes that she had discovered these diapers years ago when two of their other children were babies. She used disposable diapers then and now no longer uses them since my little cousin was born. She told me that she would have rather to use cloth diapers over disposable diapers. The reason she uses cloth diapers is that is they are chemical free which make less diaper rashes and less expensive.
I learned a lot from my aunt while I was staying with them and I will definitely use cloth diapers for my babies one day!
Customer Review: Better than the old school diapers w/pins- a definite upgrade
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased these for my second baby hoping I can save money on regular diapers and also do my part in not creating more waste in landfills. I've used these since my daughter was a newborn and now she's six months old. I love the fact that i can reuse them, when i wash them they're clean and i've saved a lot of money on boxes of diapers. Two things were a little hard to deal with at first, these are good for the baby since they are cotton but i found that they leaked through the sides so i didnt use these for night use since my daughter rolls over quite a bit. Also, as many of you may wonder, washing poop off of these kinda sucks. When they're breast fed, it was no biggy but once she started eating solids...yeah, you have to clean them off before washing them. I didnt clean them completely, just enough to where the bulky parts were off...then i rinsed w/vinegar in cold water, then ran a regular cycle w/ a little bit of detergent. Trust me, the poop comes off and you cant even tell which diaper was the poopy one! I still use them and will continue because the regular diapers are such a waste!
