I've read that these diapers are only supposed to last for one child. Our daughter is a year and a half now & I've had to do some minor sewing on the diapers and they do occasionally leak with a heavy heavy pee.

I also use disposables for night time & for going places. Just makes life a little easier & keeps these diapers in better shape longer. My only complaint is the laundry tabs no longer work. I have taken excellent care with these (scrubbing the liners & bleaching the inserts) & I plan to use them for our next baby in December. I have 24 diapers and since I use both cloth & disposable, I only wash the diapers once a week and that's usually on the weekend when it's the cheapest (Ontario Hydro).

I wonder if the Bum Genius diapers with snaps would be better than velcro??!!
Overall, I do love these diapers and it was totally worth it!!
