Rumparooz Newborn Cloth Diaper Cover Snap

I have been using my Rumparooz diaper covers for 8 months. Do not buy. Elastics are fine and good condition. It would be a good diaper but they have stupidly sewn the label through the PUL damaging the PUL. There are always leaks around where the brand label is sewn. As you can see in my photo, the area around the label is saturated.

I bought a few of these for my daughter who cloth diapers my granddaughter. They are really great covers. They are leak-proof, she's never had a diaper leak, neither urine or feces, and she is breast fed which is a softer, liquid type bowel movement, and it holds it all inside, something my other daughter always had a problem with she used disposable diapers.How to use them:She uses them with either pre-fold, flat, or fitted cloth diapers. For pre-folds: She purchased a few dozen organic newborn size at Green Mountain Diapers and uses snappi diaper fasteners instead of pins. We lay the pre-fold down, with baby's waist at the center top, then take each side where her legs, feet were are and roll it in "jelly roll style", to where it is a triangle'ish shape, then pulls the bottom up between her legs. Then take each side of the top and pull in on top of the part that was pulled up and fasten the little hooks on the snappi at the bottom onto the crotch part, then stretch each of the snappi's arms to where the teeth grap the cloth on each side. It holds the diaper on perfectly without having to use pins.Then, we take the rumparooz and adjust the snaps to fit. It has multiple ways it can be snapped, so that it will fit a newborn through the first 3-6 months, depending on size of your baby. For a newborn, you snap down the "rise", which is the bottom row of snaps in the middle, for the first several weeks we needed it to be snapped to the bottom row, then as she grew longer, we snapped to the top row, now that she is 3 months old, we don't need to snap down the rise because it fits fine without shortening the rise. The sides come in and snap on whichever snaps fit your baby's size, at first we used the very center snaps, at 3 months she just got big enough we've moved out one snap on each side. After getting it one, we check around the legs to be sure all of the cloth diaper is poked inside the cover, if not the urine will wick out of the diaper and you will have a leak, otherwise if the cover goes around all of it, you never have a leak. We check the top back of the diaper/cover also to be sure all of the cloth is covered in the back. You can usually use the cover through multiple wet diaper changes. The only time you have to change covers is if it gets left on too long and urine kind of wets the elastic around the leg gathers, since it has double "gussets" which is two separate layers of material that are gathered along the legs, to be sure nothing can leak. The other reason to change the cover is if baby has a liquid bowel movement and it may get on the cover if it comes out of the pre-fold, but the jelly roll will usually prevent that.Alternate way to use a pre-fold, just fold it in thirds and lay inside the cover, works great for urine, but not so much for poo. A fitted cloth diaper can be closed and wrapped in this cover and makes a great leak-proof combo. There are many websites on cloth diapers out there Green Mountain Diaper does a good job explaining different diapers and how to use them. Youtube has videos on folding "flats", cloth diapers that are not pre-folded, basically a really large square of cotton material that is folded down and used to soak urine just like pre-folds do.When washing the Rumparooz, it's better if you don't dry in dryer, they tend to look new longer if you don't dry in dryer. Super hot washes also will make them look worn faster than a shorter hot wash cycle. When we take the diapers off of the baby, since she is exclusively breastfed, we take the diapers off her and put straight in a diaper pail liner, then washed every other day, no rinsing out in the toilet, especially when she was a newborn. Now that she is 3 months old, we're starting to need to spray off the diapers a little more. We use only Charlie's soap powder when we wash diapers, but we only use cotton cloth diapers. Some who use microfiber diapers, I've heard have to was differently.We use cloth wipes and diaper wipe juice for spraying her off, seems to work best and doesn't irritate her skin, she's never had a rash that lasted, did have a pinkish rash after using disposable wipes and cried a lot, but doesn't seem to mind Thristies Booty Luster at all. We take cloth baby wash cloths or the many different cloth wipes, or old flannel pajamas made into wipes, and then wash them with the diapers.Hope all of this helps, but I know we were in the dark when we first started.

I am a new Father and lack the experience of many great mums out there .. but after reading reviews I decided to purchase newborn and one size diapers.My daughter was born pre-mature and was barely 3 kilo's or i think 4.5-6 pounds. At first the newborn diapers fit her perfectly, sadly even only after a week or two, they are a bit tight on her. Maybe that's normal I am not sure.The one size are great and really adjustable... no fitting issues.My baby girl has been gaining weight very steadily since arriving home about 300 grams to 1.5 pounds every week and has already grown 3-5 cm in length. In the month she has nearly doubled in weight.Besides the fit, I have not had one spill, the cover is really made well, easy to wash and dry and looks good too and this is a Daddy doing this..I failed to read the special washing instructions and just threw them into the washer/drier .. Yes my wife was a bit upset I didn't pay attention.but alas they all survived ... and still look great.Easy to use, easy to replace the insert, and easy to clean up if needed .. I just blast it with the shower head for quick n easy cleaning.My girl also tends to pee a lot ... using disposables she can fill those up quickly between feedings ...and the clothe diapers have held up.I would recommend just buying the one size versions they have, unless your child is really really small ... my girl is still able to use the newborns size but it does leave an imprint on her legs and belly.. yes, I have adjusted the settings to its largest capacity.**NOTE**I have purchased other cloth diapers and have already experienced leaks ..especially when she is on her side, but not with the Rumparooz.Also the material of the cover for Rumparooz, protects leaking through... the no name covers soak through ....and leak on the sides....To sum up , when I have diaper duty, I am glad I got Rumparooz.....from 6 pm to 4 am, diaper duty is a breeze even half asleep.

I use prefolds and have been using thirsties covers- wanted to try out the rumparooz because sometimes the thirsties covers are wet around the leg holes after one change. So far the rumparooz has been dry and I could use the same cover all day.

In my quest to use cloth diapers on my newborn son, I discovered these covers for pre-folds. I had already tried out several brands that make all-in-one's and found that they would get damp quite often on the outside. I figured if I was going to use cloth diapers, I might as well find a way to reuse the outer cover if things were going to get damp anyway.As my son is only 5lbs, I needed to purchase the newborn size to fit him. Unlike AIO's, this cover has many more positions and still seems to fit smaller than other diapers I have tried. After tucking in the pre-fold, I have found that this cover does a great job at keeping moisture in. And even better, I can use one diaper cover for several changes with just a little wipe between. I would recommend these covers for both value and ease of use.
