Broody Chick Baby Diapers Pack - Toddler - 28ct

We gave these diapers a fair shot. Being eco-practical (not eco-maniacal!), we like to do things that are better for the environment, but without sacrificing good functionality. Broody Chicks are not where it's at. I recommend the Bambo Nature diapers  Bambo Nature® Eco-Friendly Baby Diapers - Size 3 - Midi - Fits 11 to 22 lbs - 56/Bg  over the other eco-disposables because their fit, feel, and performance are right up there with the premium regular brands. So back to Broody Chick. Broody Chick diapers are fairly soft, yes, I'll give them that. The fit is decent, but here's the rub: they don't stretch at all, so there's no give. Also making adjustment tough is the fact that the tabs lose their grip if you re-fasten them more than once to get the diaper squarely on a squirmy baby. So if your kid doesn't ever wiggle on the changing table, then this will be fine for you. And you've got a weird kid. Anyway. As far as absorbency, I hope your kid doesn't pee overnight, because these diapers won't go 5 hours without urine soaking through. And forget about poo. Unless it is a perfectly formed little puck, your average baby poo is going to breach containment. Another drawback we found is the entire diaper being white, with no picture or marking to discern front from back, which makes it easy to get it backwards--especially when changing diapers at 3am feedings while we were total sleep-deprived zombies. Not a huge issue, but aggravating when you're exhausted. So in short, these diapers are great if you're just super crunchy and all you care about is the fact that they'll break down in your compost heap (why are you composting human waste at home, you freak? #1 or #2, doesn't matter-- it's not okay) then these are great. If you're tossing them in the garbage, btw, you'll need to get biodegradable trash bags or else your purchase of these overpriced and underperforming biodegradable diapers will be for naught. These are not worth it. Get the Bambos and thank me later.  Bambo Nature® Eco-Friendly Baby Diapers - Size 3 - Midi - Fits 11 to 22 lbs - 56/Bg

I'd like to start off by saying this review is for using Broody Chick as an overnight diaper only and this is based off two nights' use. We cloth diaper during the day but my daughter is growing out of the covers we use for her overnight diaper so in the meantime, I was looking for a compostable diaper also to potentially use as travel diapers.First off, I like the fact that they're thin, plain, and not like a burlap sack in texture. They are surprisingly huge in length though, I suppose to cover the rise of a baby in the weight range for the Toddler size. My daughter is currently 23 lbs and the first night we used this I wasn't sure how to fit it on her because the tabs and waistband sat so high the diaper would slip down and leave a huge gap between her leg and the gussets.Surprisingly, she didn't leak through the next morning. I was sure I would find a wet patch in her crib. I was also impressed that the diaper stayed thin, not bulking up like traditional disposable diapers. So on night two, I was able to secure the diaper better and there wasn't such a large gap around her legs. However, this morning, I found her soaking wet. She'd wet through her pjs, sleep sack, and sheet. I guess she surpassed the diaper's limit because it was definitely full.So we're on night 3 this evening and we'll see how things go tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I've been throwing the diapers into a biodegradable bag as they get used. These are obviously pricier than disposables but if it means there are less diapers sitting around forever I feel it's a fair trade.*Update*I decided to order a size smaller (for babies up to 19 lbs) and oddly enough, these fit the baby better. But again, she seems to surpass the diaper's limit overnight. I've had to change her sheets so many times. I may have to go back to traditional disposables. =(

I used cloth diapers from birth, but recently started daycare and had to switch to disposables. I was impressed by a 100% natural and fully compostable diaper. Convenient and eco-friendly. Cool packaging. Compared to traditional disposables (Pampers, Huggies, Luvs, etc), Broody Chick fit a bit differently (I got size Toddler 15.4-35.2 lbs). They seem to have a bit less elastic around the leg, but that really hasn't been a problem--no leaks or blowouts yet, though I am in the habit of checking more frequently because I used to use cloth. The material is a little bit stiff. The closures also seem a bit low from the waist, so the top waist part seems a bit loose, and is thin, which might be a problem for boys who wet a lot. The loose waist hasn't really been a big issue, but it is a little weird, especially since my boy is walking and moving a lot now. The quality of the materials in this diaper are superb! Very, very high quality. It's hard to believe they are compostable. Price-wise, yes they are more expensive than traditional disposables, but it's worth it to me to try to reduce my baby pollution. Also no perfumes or weird chemicals inside. I also use Attitude diapers, and those are the ones I send to daycare and pack in our diaper bag. I used the Broody Chick at home, but because Attitude are cheaper and a little more similar to traditional disposables, I send those to the daycare. I will probably stick with those. I don't use either for overnight--I use Huggies Overnight since my boy could never tolerate being wet and has had sleeping issues from the start and we're hoping it will continue to help him sleep through the night. Fingers crossed.
