Sunbaby Diaper review.

Here is my first review! YAY let's celebrate this monumental occassion with a welcome(you thought I was going to do a giveaway huh. Not yet I'm just getting started geesh).

Sunbaby diapers are one of those diapers with a cult like following. The creative mind and owner behind Sunbaby diapers is Sunpei. They are pocket diapers with some of the cutest prints. The Sunbaby website states "A favorite for all moms who cloth diaper on a budget! Our pocket style diapers are not only budget friendly, but also easy to use, great looking and one of the best on the market! If you have always wanted to cloth diaper, but didn’t want to invest hundreds of dollars, you don’t have to wait any longer. With our one size diapers you can cloth diaper from birth to potty training for as little as $60. " So lets get to the meat. What are they made of?
The Meats
Sunbaby diapers have a PUL outer layer with a microfleece inner layer that is uber soft(yes uber).The pocket at the back of the diaper features a flap to keep the insert in and from rubbing baby's bum. Speaking of the insert, the diapers come with one microfiber insert.
Price
Sunbaby diapers pride themselves on being affordable, adorable and functional. Packages are offered through the website. You can get 12 diapers with inserts for $60 shipped. Yep that is $60 for 12 diapers and shipping from China is included. Great deal right! Even better you can get 24 diapers with inserts for $108. 

So now that you know the cost and what it is made of you. You are probably wondering does it work? I mean how can something that cheap and cute really work? Well ladies and possibly gents, it depends on who you ask.
My POV
So as you all know these diapers were my first cloth diaper purchase. I bought the 12 for $60 package. Shipping was great as well as customer service(I'm needy). So they came and I prepped them. Washed once  and dried on low to seal PUL. Then they were slapped onto the babys bum. They held up as far as pee. I change my baby every 2-3 hours. The microfleece is so silky soft that it's yummy. The prints were ADORABLE. Sounds great right? Well here was my problem. I bought the Sunbaby 4.0 batch that had the frog print. The elastic was way to tight for my liking. They left deep red marks and were just overall tight fitting. I sold all 12.
  So Sunpei releases new prints. I didn't care. I figured oh well same diaper that won't fit. I then read where people are saying that they are much bigger. I buy a cute Hexagon print off one of the Facebook b/s/t pages. As soon as it comes I rip open the bag excited to see this awesome new change all the Sunbaby fans are talking about. At first glance it is about the same size as my Alvas(they run big). I get excited but gotta wash first. Good thing I hadn't done laundry yet. So go through wash routine blah blah blah. As Soon as it is dry, the Sunbaby is the first to go on. YES success! It fits perfectly. So in goes my order for her recent print release. These prints are just as cute. Some so cute they have already sold out. Hopefully she will be keeping the same large pattern with looser elastic. If not, off to the auction pages they go.
