People love em or hate em.
I didn't like them much. I think there are many other nappies out there that are way better

i agree...you either love them or hate them........i used them for a while without any problems. they were the first cloth nappy i had and i still have the hemp trifold inserts which i use overnight, i love those!
there are better nappies out there but it really depends on how much you want to spend on a nappy.
i'd perhaps get a couple and try them before you go and buy a whole lot

We've used them on Caleb since he was four weeks old and they've worked well for us. They are cheap and effective. We don't have leaks but have added boosters and things as Caleb has gotten older. The bamboo ones are way better and we now use them with a booster as Caleb is doing bigger wees.
They are probably the most cost effective of all the msn's at $20 each although we wait until they are 3 for $35 or 3 for $50. I have heard they are not the best quality but ours still look ok one year on. You are limited on colours but I really like the colours we have and boy stuff is pretty boring anyway.
We used small for about 9 months (although Caleb still fits them) and the mediums should fit him until he is toilet trained.

I had a few for the gremlins and never had any problems with them. I have a small one in the drawer for Chiara but she's too scrawny for it atm.

from the picture on the baby factory website, it looks like the inserts poke out at the back, is that how they sit or was that just posed for the pic? just thinking of leak potential

I haven't seen the pic, but I've never let the inserts hang out the back.

That photo is just showing the insert, they don't stick out like that.

They don't stick out like that and the bamboo ones are more square than the older style so they stop short of the elastic back.

Just remember that sometimes 'cheaper' doesn't always equal 'best value'. I haven't tried Pea Pods myself but I've read really mixed reviews, especially in regard to the quality of the PUL (waterproof fabric) used. I'd recommend getting only a couple to try and compare against a couple of other brands - possibly some mass produced, such as Fuzzi Bunz, Honeychild, BumGenius & Itti Bitti, and some WAHMS, such as Foxybots, Baby Harmony and Tweedle. If you only get one or two of each you can see how they perform against each other and buy more of the ones you like (and sell on the ones you don't).

I have my 20 moth old twins in peapods all day (sposie at night) I have found them to be excellent, they dont leak-if you change them regularly bout 4 hourly, and no poo leaks either. they are comfortable and easy to wash and dry. I love them!

i pea pods thats all we are using. except a sposie if we go out shopping for a long time. i find them brilliant no leaks and they wash great. and R has no nappy rash which he did get when we were just using sposies before when his butt was too weeny. i've got a um crazy cheeks or what ever it is but it looks useless for 30bucks

i use peapods and find them fine, havent spent a alot of money on them and they are brilliant! my son is 11mths old now and has been in medium sized since 6mths and i think that he will be in them until toilet trained, as he is still only on the tightest snaps :)
