They seem a little cheaper than some of the others. Strength's, weaknesses?

I have just started using cloth on DD during the day. Started once she got to 4kgs so have been using them for a couple of weeks now.
I have a small peapod and find it quite large she doesn't fit it yet as I discovered when it leaked out the legs while I was breastfeeding.
My fave pocket at the moment is a dry cheeks (see link below) which fits her really well, I got the small size. I am also using mybaby (off trade me) which seem ok and real nappies (prefolds and covers from baby factory and online)
I would reccomend getting a couple of different types to try before getting heaps of one kind. I got a whole lot of one type and now wish I hadn't as I prefer sized pockets :) which I didn't get very many of so I am now saving to buy more.

I love them. Have only been using them for the last few months and have had no prob's whatsoever. No leaking etc. I have been using the outers for over a year as covers for flat nappies and so they have been well used and now that I am using them as pea pods they are still working fine. Alex seems to like them and I am sure he can move a lot more in them than he could when he had big old flats on.

They work great for us. I had heard that they leaked but I've found that they don't leak any more than any of the other MCN's I use.

Just as long as you put some sort of micro fibre in them as well as the bamboo insert.
We only used peapods (until we discovered there are more nappies out there) from about 6 weeks to when he was in a large. He's got chubby thighs so the fit on him wasn't that great. they were alwasy on the tightest waist sanps but like the 3rd along thingh snaps, which made them king of saggy at the front.
Other than those points the work jsut as fine as any other nappy we've used.

I don't like them, shame I brought so many before the girls were born. They were too bulky and didn't fit right around their legs. They cried when I used them so I stopped. Trying to get rid of them on TM if anyone is intrested I have quite a few smalls and a few mediums and maybe one or two larges left. $10 each.
I  itti bitti's They have been fantastic. No leaks (even with massive explosions) They are slim fitting and look great. I don't mind about how long they take to dry, I wash everyday and put them in the drier if need be.
ETA : I think its a case of you get what you pay for. I also have a few Tot's bot's pockets which I acutally quite like, but they aren't as pretty as other nappies.
