Kushies Ultra Diapers have saved us hundreds of diapers, and we're planning to use them with our second child as well! Here are the many benefits of using Kushies Ultra:

*TIGHT FIT.. we've used the same size diaper for 11 months and we've never had a bad problem with leaks. HINT: buy cloth liners rather than disposable paper ones; the liners create a tighter fit when your child is young!

*NO DIAPER RASH – I had anticipated a host of problems with rashes, but experienced the opposite! These diapers hold a whole lot of pee and since you can tell when they're wet (a problem with disposables sometimes) your child is changed more often.

*NO PLASTIC WRAP - The Ultra Kushies have a vinyl covering around the flannel diaper.

*DURABILITY – We were concerned that the vinyl would tear, especially around the stitching, but it hasn't been a problem! Be sure to put the dryer on a lower setting (to lower drying timer, put in a dry towel to absorb moisture).

*ECONOMICAL- Wow... this was the greatest benefit. The diapers paid for themselves in three months, and they're easily in good enough shape to use for our next child!

*SOAKING SOLUTION – Kushies recommends soaking the diapers in vinegar water. This is also very cheap and easy!


Of course, no product is perfect. Here are some problems we've discovered:

*VELCRO CATCHING – This is a mildly annoying problem where the velcro becomes tangled with other diapers in the dryer, resulting in a big complex clump of diapers when you take them out. Not a big deal to us, and it doesn't seem to damage the diapers.

*CAN'T USE AT NIGHT – We find that if the diapers are going to leak, it's at night, so we use disposables at night.

*OCCASIONAL LEAKS – These diapers seldom leak, but certainly more often than disposables. Once the baby is eating solids, it ceases to be a problem.

**IMPORTANT!! - Ensure that you rinse off all feces before putting the diaper in the pail; feces that sits on the outside vinyl for an extended period of time will stain the vinyl a pretty pink color.
