SoftBums Echo One-Size Cloth Diaper Shell - Velcro - Merry Mermaid *clearance- no warranty*

Prior to starting to use cloth diapers I did A LOT of research and Softbums came out on top of every category. Of their 4 types of diapers (Omni in snaps and velcro, and Echo in snaps and velcro), I prefer the Echo velcro. It is a trim fit and the shells are easily adjustable to size perfectly for the wearer. Just remember if you ever have issues with leaks, the obvious issues are: (a) seal the shell seams in the dryer for 15min, or (b) you require a different level of insert absorbency. Echo Sizing Help: Measure your child's thigh. Divide that number by 2 and add 1.5. This is the length of your leg elastics from stitch to toggle. (ie - an 8 thigh means a leg elastic sizing of 5.5)

Pros: - Great for skinny legs (adjustable leg elastic is awesome) - Minimal blowouts (generally only if the legs aren't sized properly) - Velcro is quality and can fit to skinny babies Cons: - Problems with DryTouch liners (ammonia/detergent build up gave baby multiple different types of rashes despite following washing instructions from SoftBums) - More problems with DryTouch liners (not great for heavy wetters - basically leaks through to the liner, which makes it hard to reuse)

I love the SoftBums Echo shells paired with their superpod or even their large drytouch pod (insert). These are by far my go to shell for during the day. They would work for night, but I prefer the SoftBum Omni for overnight as it is slightly roomier. I love the prints and colours that they offer and how easy they are to use. I have never had a poop leak, and any pee leaks have been my own fault (went too long between diaper changes or diaper wasn't adjusted properly). I find that they fit my little girl amazing and love how the legs are adjustable with elastic. They also don't leave red marks on her and are much easier than snaps for me as she is very very wiggly. These are great shells that grow with my baby and can be used several times before they need to be washed. I highly recommend them :)

These are my favourite diapers of all of the diapers I have tried (and I have tried a lot!). They fit my newborn from day 1 and can also use them on my toddler! I get a perfect fit every time and dad loves them too. The velcro is super strong and durable.

Our whole stash is now softbums. So trim, and super cute! We have both snaps and H&L, but prefer the H&L as the velcro is really durable, but not too stiff against babe, and it always makes for a great fit. Defiantly recommend!

This is one of my favourite diapers in my stash. It is so difficult to get a diaper on my wiggly little boy, and the Echo with Velcro makes life a little bit easier on me. I prefer these to the Omni because they are much more trim.

Our favorite diapers around here! the sizing is sublime and like nothing else. Plus, they're super trim and easy to use. I won't but any other brand now.

I love these cloth diapers- we got a set of them and haven't looked back. They are incredibly easy to use and the drawstring legs are a big improvement over bulky snaps for adjusting leg size. Super simple, cute prints, and quick Canadian shipping all made these a great choice for beginning our cloth diapering journey!

This has such a cool system that I thought it would be my favourite diaper. I got this as part of the newborn sampler, enjoying the fact that it would last my baby longer than the others since it’s so adjustable. For some reason this diaper LEAKS. And it’s not just from the legs if you didn’t get a good fit on a squirming baby who doesn’t care about adjusting the legs. The shell itself isn’t very waterproof and the whole cover is wet to the touch. My 6 week old peed through it just today after like 30 min when I put this in him waiting for the rest of my diapers to finish laundering. I can’t believe this is a $30 diaper. The PUL just isn’t sturdy. It feels thinner than the rest of my diaper stash. Maybe I got a lemon though since no one else seems to be complaining about this? It’s also a weird fit. Really narrow and I struggle to get a good tight fit at the thigh with more than the one long softpod insert.

I did A LOT of research before buying cloth diapers. I tried a few other brands but nothing even comes close to the perfect fit of my SoftBums. I can’t stop buying them! I’ve used them for over a year and a half now and absolutely love them. I like the bamboo inserts because they are way more trim and absorbent than the DryTouch microfiber inserts. I also prefer to use the Echo shells with hook and loop for a perfect fit. We have a few Omni shells we use only for nap time and bedtime because you can put more inserts in them. The toggles are so easy to use that this diaper will fit on any size of baby or toddler! I highly recommend these diapers!
