what parents are saying
We love Alva cloth. Most of our stash is Alva, and we have no complaints. We had some leaking at first, but it was more of a absorbency issue (what we were putting inside the pocket) vs. a manufacturing issue. (Jan 22, 2016)

These diapers are only good if you have a petite baby, otherwise it is hard to get a good fit. Also, the inserts that come with them are not super absorbent. Mar 11, 2024

Too hard to stuff pockets. Mar 01, 2024

I like these cloth diapers, they are easy to use and I like they they grow with my son. Dec 29, 2023

These cloth diapers are such a great value for the price! We only use cloth diapers part time so these are perfect! Dec 25, 2023

I have tried many but these were actually the best for and least leaking diapers. Must get different inserts though. Jul 03, 2023

A great affordable start to cloth diapering! My Alva's have held up well. I did replace the microfiber inserts with hemp but other than that these work fabulous! Jun 10, 2023

These are a really good value and are good quality. They fit my daughter well. When my daughter had a reaction to the Honest diapers I put one of these on her and they helped clear up the diaper rash. Apr 19, 2023

Fit is good. Microfibre inserts cause some compression leaks as baby gets older also a little bulky Oct 24, 2022

I wanted to love cloth diapering, but…poop is not fun to clean. These fit my son great and for a wide age span. I used them only when I was home. Will use again for my daughter as they still look new! Sep 28, 2022

Inexpensive cloth diapers. Not as easy as bum genus but simple enough Sep 21, 2022

We love these diapers! Great quality, and they have held up against many, many washes. We have a big boy and these fit him perfectly. 10 out of 10 Aug 06, 2022

We have cloth diapered from the beginning. All of our diapers are alvababy, they are now 2 years old and still look new. We love them and they are a great price! May 15, 2022

Love the covers (prefer other inserts over microfiber). There’s a slight learning curve but overall easy to use and clean and great value for the price. Used for over 6 months and holding up strong Apr 28, 2022

Best affordable diapers are Alva’s. I think these are better for curvy chunky babies too. These pockets are great if you are just starting your cloth journey with pocket diapers. Apr 21, 2022
- Lili P.

I have only been using these for one child for 6 months. The inserts are bulky but most often I sub out for a hemp, and the covers work well. Nice fit, great pricepoint! Dec 01, 2021

Not my favorite in my rotation but still a good diaper and they come in second place. They are soft and still holding up to daily use one and a half years later Nov 06, 2021

Cheap cloth pocket option. I use many different inserts and I like the space these provide. Leg fit is not as good now that she’s walking but prior had few leaks. Lots of patterns available. Oct 29, 2021

They are soft and hold a lot. They have many cute designs. However I’ve noticed that why my baby doesn’t have her legs straight that buttons end up digging into her inner thigh leaving marks. Sep 03, 2021

When my daughter got really bad rashes I’d use these instead of disposable diapers and by the next day her rashes were gone. It also helps save money which is a plus. Mar 23, 2021
Great quality especially for the price!! Mar 15, 2021

Alvas are the perfect cloth diaper if you need something economical that just works. I would recommend getting better inserts (5 layer bamboo/ terrycloth). Half my stash is Alva as a full-time CD'er. Feb 17, 2022
- Jess K.
Gautier, Mississippi
These are great! The price is fantastic, but I would just buy the pocket diapers and invest in hemp or bamboo inserts to avoid compression leaks. Aug 30, 2020

These ones size down well and fit my tiny 5 month old. They are easy to stuff and wash. Apr 07, 2020
- Elizabeth H.

Sizing is great and adjustable, totally eco friendly and my daughter can’t take these off like she can regular diapers. Easy to clean and car for. A total must have recommendation for me Nov 26, 2019
- Mallory D.
Plainfield, Connecticut
These are by far our absolute favorite cloth diaper. They are super absorbent, and we haven’t had any leaks or blowouts with them. The simple snapping method is easy, and they have cute patterns! Nov 22, 2019

These diapers fit really well. We just have a little leakage problem still. Jun 19, 2019

For an inexpensive, non-US-made diaper, they do the job. You don't have to worry about damaging them in the wash, or spending $$$ only to have them stained or the elastic damaged. Apr 16, 2019
- Justine L.
Penacook, New Hampshire
Love these! Super affordable and quick to dry. The tabs aren’t as stretchy as some of the brands I love. Each diaper comes individually packaged and includes two microfiber inserts. A must have! Sep 03, 2018

We love these for the affordability but we experienced some leaks with them. Not sure if it was the PUL or if we needed to look into better insert options. May 10, 2018

Spend a few more dollars on a better quality diaper. It’ll be worth it Feb 24, 2018

Good price for a good cloth diaper if you’re looking to try it out. No issues with leaks and cute patterns. Jan 09, 2018

Leaked within a week of buying. I prepared them and all and washed according but they leaked. I would skip this brand. Dec 31, 2017

Very cheap for a reason. They all leak through the snaps and the suede cloth liner caused horrible rashes. Difficult to get stains out. I really wanted to love these. Dec 08, 2017

Even after following the care instructions, the elastic went on all of the covers I’ve purchased from them. Worked great while they lasted. Dec 04, 2017

Before returning to work we exclusively cloth diapered. No blowouts, no leaks, no diaper rash! Will definitely be exclusively cloth diapering the twins when they arrive! Oct 15, 2017
- Emily S.

We have lots of these. Can't beat the price, but they don't last through one child. All the elastic is stretched out and now they leak. Can't beat the price though, and they've always fit! Oct 11, 2017

Most of my stash is Alva. Great fit. No leaks. And best price out there only 5-6$ you can beat it Jul 16, 2017

Awesome, affordable cloth diapers. I've had zero blow outs with my 5 month old while using these! Jul 07, 2017

Terrible diapers! Leaked all the time and fit so poorly. Sold mine within a month of buying them. Apr 30, 2017
- Morgan B.

These have worked great for about a year. Now, I think we need to buy a second set because they are not longer absorbing, even though I've stripped them multiple times. Mar 31, 2017
- Renee T.

One of my best purchases ! Not the best for newborn, but they are adjustable. My 3 month old (about 15 pounds) fits in them , and my 3 year old (about 30 pounds) just retired from using at night. Feb 08, 2017
- Jessica M.

They are good for the price, but there are much better options out there. These run a little bigger than most, but that's not an issue with older/bigger babies and toddlers Dec 08, 2016

These work if you really can't afford more expensive diapers. I do think they are a little more bulky than some other diapers though. Aug 22, 2016

I really am a fan of Alva cloth diapers. There is no need to spend alot of money on a cute pricey diaper your kid is going to poop in. If they leak you have a insert issue or they need stripped. Jan 28, 2016

I bought a batch of Alva cloth diapers -- some are great, some leak through the buttons. I've read that some people had the same issue & Alva replaced them so I'll see if they'll do the same for me. Jan 23, 2016
