Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased these inserts because I had just recently purchased a lot of gently used Alva cloth diapers for a lady. The lot I purchased did come with inserts but several of them were not thick enough by themselves. I needed some additional inserts. I was originally very excited to get these liners. They were everything I thought I was looking for with the 5 layers, Charcoal and Bamboo. I really liked the fact that they were charcoal gray in color. That way stains would not be noticeable. I was told to pre-wash these inserts several times before the become absorbent. So I pre-washed them probably 4 times. I started using them in my rotation and all I had was leaks!!! I continue trying them and washing them. I wasn't really seeing any improvements so I decided to treat them as if they needed striped. I actually did all my cloth diapers at the same time because I was having trouble with regular microfiber inserts leaking also. I found a stripe procedure on Pinterest and followed it step by step. After the stripe procedure my regular microfiber inserts worked awesome, they were always full of liquid at a diaper change without leaking. As for these Alva inserts they barely feel like there is anything in them and I had 2 leak so far. I do believe they are going to be good inserts but they need washed a lot before they are going to get there. I don't know for sure how long that's going to take and its kind of a hassle. As for the quality of material, they look and feel nice. The outside edges are surged with an industrial machine that leave a nice thick edging of matching thread.
