What if I told you you could get everything you needed to cloth diaper you baby from start to finish for only $240. Let me try another way. What if I told you I could save your over $1700? According to Buttons Diapers the average baby goes through $1500-$2000 worth of disposable diapers from birth to potty training. There are many different brands and ways to cloth diaper your child, but Buttons Diapers has a very easy to use diapering system that involves covers and snap-in inserts.
Buttons recommends you buy 8-10 covers, 18-24 daytime inserts (per size), and 2-3 nighttime inserts (per size). While you only have one cover size that fits babies 9-35 lbs and two sized inserts; small fitting baby 9-20lbs and large fitting baby 20-35lbs.
Our Review:
After being sent a few diapers for review, these diapers have already found a place in my routine as a go to diaper for caregivers, my husband who thinks pocket diapers are confusing, or a great night time option for us.
We were able to check out two of the covers. In addition to loving the colors, I loved that there was a double layer of PLU. We had no leaks due to soaking through even at night. I also really liked the exceptional double gussets that helped to contain the poop. They really did a great job.
I would like to see an additional snap rise for taller babies. (My baby is 20+ lbs). I did find that I had to un-snap all the rises in order to get a good fit on my tall baby. If I didn’t I would have poop coming out the back of the diaper. Once I figured that out we had ZERO issues which is great. The gussets were also a tad tight on his chubby legs, but I think as he gets more mobile this won’t be an issue.
The liners are super absorbent. The first night I used them overnight I forgot to snap in the overnight liner. My heavy wetter still woke up dry! (Although the liner was very soaked.) The overnight liners are a little bit longer and thicker. I’ve even used them when I knew we were going to be out and about as we tend to change less frequently then we do when we are home. The daytime inserts are 4 layers of microfiber with a layer of soft fleece on top. The nighttime inserts are
If we hadn’t already had a stash of other diapers, I could easily consider this being our only diaper. For now I plan on buying another cover and a few more overnight inserts to use this a night time diaper. It is the only diaper I have used that is consistently dry in the morning.

Very cute!
I can’t believe he is 20 pounds. That is crazy!!
I think he is actually closer to 22… we will see on the 10th… Mamas little beast!
Our ONLY night time diaper!!! Never ever ever had a leak overnight!!! These things are bullet proof and a much more inexpensive route to go than pockets!!!
These are one of my favorite diapers 🙂 Love it for on the go!
So cute!
It’s great that they help save on waste in land fills. He makes a wonderful model!
Those look like they work amazing!
I never used cloth diapers, mostly because I was scared to death of them! Looking back, I really should have given them a try. Everyone I know that has used them loves them.
I thought about cloth but my husband was adamantly against it.
Love the idea of saving so much money
Very cute diapers. I love the double gusset feature and that it is an ai2 so that the cover can be used over again is not soiled.
I really wish cloth had worked for us. Disposables just add up.
My favorite feature of these covers is the double gusset. I also like that the liner snaps in to stay in place.
Helpful information. Fortunate me I discovered your web site by
chance, and I’m shocked why this twist of fate didn’t happened earlier!
I bookmarked it.
Love the double gussets, would love to try this for a nighttime diaper
I love the double gussets and you cant beat the price!!
oooo I just love how squishy he is! I’d love to see how well these diapers fit my big guy.
The leg elastics and gussets look amazing!
I’m really surprised that a system like this did so well for nighttime! Impressive! Oh, and I like your grading system:)
I haven’t tried Buttons diapers, but your review makes me want to!
I love your grading system!
Love cloth diapers!
At first glance I didn’t understand how the inserts were microfiber, but then I saw they had a fleece top, so I finally understood how it could be against the baby’s bottom. These seem very easy to use!
I’ve never tried these style of diapers, that have the snap in insert. My friend mentioned it to me before, and I wasn’t all that interested. but now that i see it, it looks pretty cool! i love the Double gussets! I have a cover that has them, and I like them so much better, his nasty poop mess doesn’t seep out his legs (just goes up the back, hahaha)
I love the double gusset feature. Definitely keeps everything where it needs to stay
I love the colors in these! So cute!
Love how they have double gussets
I really like your rating system!
Always glad to have a new diaper to keep on my radar. I would love to see the double gussets in action.
That’s really affordable for cloth – nice! I love that you’ve broken down the areas you rate. That’s really helpful when comparing different brands.
I like how affordable they are and that they keep baby dry all night.
I’ve never tried these . They look really easy to use and are affordable. Cute too.
These diapers sound like an affordable option. I like that there are two sizes of inserts and that they are super absorbent.
