I have six of the GroVia Hook and Loop ("Velcro") Shells, and we love them. The hook and loops are great quality, stick very well but are soft so they don't hurt if they touch the baby during changings. We use the shells with the GroVia stay dry inserts, the organic inserts, and prefolds on laundry day. The stay dry inserts are hard to stain, seriously! Sometimes I wish I had more of those. But we like the organic inserts because the baby feels wet right away, so we can change her faster to avoid diaper rash (and also, hopefully, to encourage potty training earlier). Even though the organic inserts stain easier, they bleach out well enough in the sun so they don't look gross. I have even sun bleached them from inside the house from a sunny windowsill.We have had absolutely no issues with leaking outside of the shells, though we do sometimes have leaks from the inserts onto the inside of the shell. But the mess has always stayed inside the shell. And the shells wash easily enough and I never have to dry them - after taking them out of the washing machine I air dry them for an hour or two and they are good to go. (And I haven't had any stains on the shells yet).We tried these shells when the baby was around 2 weeks old, but she was still too small (7 pounds, tall and skinny) but when we tried again at 4 weeks and have been using them since. I do really like the Charlie Banana diapers I've also used, but for the price and ease of changing an AI2 vs. a Pocket Diaper like CB, I use these most of the time.Edit: We've been using the same six shells and 36 GroVia inserts exclusively for 6 months now, all items are holding up spectacularly. No fading, permanent staining, loss of elasticity, hook and loop issues, leaking, etc.

These are my favorite diapers for my three month old. I love them so much, I haven't had a chance to try them out on my two year old even though I have had them for a month now. I bought two new covers, one used cover (Grobaby), and 11 used inserts since the inserts are so expensive. This plus two Flip covers keeps my three month old diapered full time for three days.As for the product, I love it. If you are a cloth diaper user, you know that cloth diapers do not fit the same as disposables. Regular diapers tend to be round and cloth tend to be a bit boxy. These Grovia's are the closest thing I have found to disposables. They're actually quite trim considering the bulk of the actual insert. They also hold a TON. If you've already done disposables and are spoiled by infrequent changes and get scared reading a review that says they check their baby every 15-30 minutes, this is the diaper for you. The velcro isn't regular velcro, it is much stronger. I haven't seen this type of velcro on any other diaper. It's nearly hard to undo, I'm not sure if my two year old would be able to get it off, but he can get Fuzzibunz snaps off. The snaps are also not standard snaps, they seem to be a little more heavy duty than regular snaps, which I like. It being summer, I typically air dry these diapers outside, it takes about 10 hours for them to completely dry. I love the snap in feature. When my baby pees, I simply take out the snap in liner and put in a new one. If baby poops, then that cover is done and gets thrown in the dirty bag. I've never had a time where she has pooped and it has not gotten on the cover. I would not recommend using these for a newborn, use disposables for the first month or until they're only pooping once a day or so. You would need a lot more diapers the first month then you will need the rest of diapering. These diapers make me feel good about cloth diapering. I feel good about not filling the planet with diapers and saving money!

At first I was really pleased with these diapers but after three months the kiwi shells had worn out the elastic around the legs. The mandarin seemed to hold up fine however. I ordered more of the kiwi shells and again the elastic is worn out. It is now been 8 months and the mandarin are in fair condition. The elastic isn't completely worn out but it has lost some of the stretch. I air dry them so they are not getting worn out by the heat of the dryer.I ordered the shells with velcro and if I were to order this set again I would order the ones with snaps. The velcro can stick to soft clothing very easily. My biggest problem is when my boys are in their fleece-like pajamas. The fuzzy material attracts the velcro very easily and it makes the diaper to come undone. I keep having to unzip them and reattach the diaper. Very annoying.The diaper inserts have elastic in them as well which have held up just fine and those do go in the dryer. You need to run them through the dryer twice to get all of the moisture out. They feel like they are dry after the first run but they do contain some water. Considering how thick the fabric is it isn't that much of a surprise. If you don't dry them twice then it is easy for the diapers to leak when your baby pees in it. The "wings" that house the elastic do not hold up very well. They are made of a different material than the main part of the diaper. Half of my diapers are shredded through in this area. Maybe it is the acid in the poop that causes this to happen. Not sure.One of the reasons I chose this brand of diaper was because I thought it was a product that was made in USA. So wrong and so disappointed. The tags say made in China. Considering this I would expect the cost of the diapers to be less.
