{My Review}

Second because label is upside-down.
This Sweet Pea diaper from Dapa Diapers was the first seconds diaper I had ever tried. At first I did not know what to expect. I have heard of many people  buying cloth diaper seconds and saving a ton of money for only small defects.

After using and inspecting this diaper the only "defect" I could find was that the Sweet Pea label was sewn on upside-down. Otherwise, it is a perfectly good diaper.

This diaper is not sold with an insert so I customized it for my son by using the numerous extra inserts I have at home. For nights I used a bamboo and microfiber insert and had no leaking.

I really like the strong elastic along the legs and back, it gives a nice snug fit which I am sure greatly reduces the chance of leaks.



It has a large pocket opening which is great for dads who help stuff diapers and for giving the option of double or triple stuffing for nighttime.

My favorite aspect is the soft micro-fleece inner layer. This really helps wick moisture away from baby's bum and discourages diaper rash.


I find the bum of the diaper a little bulky but it does leave room for extra stuffing at night. I would prefer if the diaper had hip snaps also. I love hip snaps because I find it keeps the diaper looking neater and prevents wing droop. 

I love the fact that the only thing wrong with this diaper is the label! The label position is of so little consequence to me that I would not have even noticed if I were not looking for a problem.

It is also a great deal, only $10.95!

  4. I love Sweet Pea covers and might have to give their pockets a try. I like the idea of the pocket being open at both ends for easier stuffing and removal of the inserts (ie. remove from the front when it is a poopy diaper!).
