Tushies Gel Free Diapers - Jumbo Pack

We are a cloth diapering family but had to use disposibles for a recent vacation. I shipped a case of these to the hotel & a pack of these to our house. I read a lot of negative reviews so I was a bit anxious about how they would work for us. Turns out they are terrific! I have only used disposibles during a 3 week stay in the NICU so I don't know how they compare to other brands of disposibles. But we have had no leaks & no issues. They fit great, are easy to adjust & readjust, and are very trim. I was planning to put a diaper cover over them at night but we haven't needed to go to those measures (even with a heavy wetter). These dipes are worth every penny.

I have a 7 week old baby boy and as a second time mom, I am concerned about what his little body is being exposed to (I was young and didn't think to question these things with my first child 8 years ago). These are the ONLY DISPOSABLES WITHOUT GEL, which I love. I use modern cloth diapers most of the time, but I use these when I run out of covers, if I waiting for diapers to dry or if I am out and didn't bring enough with me.

I am impressed with the quality - I kind of expected them to be horrible, but they are great. They are not PERFECT, but the ARE GREAT. Again, I have a 7 week old baby, so the liquid volume they have to handle is relatively small so far, but so far I am pleased!

Unless you want to change your baby after ever single pee, don't get these diapers! They leak, leak, leak and hold no pee! I am very good about checking my 5 month baby boy's diaper and when his diaper is soiled, I change it, approximately every 2-3 hours. With these diapers, I can't even get an hour before his outfit is sopping wet! I now have 2 packages of these diapers and I don't want to pay to return them so I use them to clean up piddles when my dog has accidents!

These diapers are the best alternative I've found to cloth for parents who want a kinder, gentler diapering solution. I completely agree that they are relatively bulky, but given the choice between bulky and gels and plastics, who cares? Being able to detect a wet diaper by pinching is more valuable than protecting your baby from petrochemicals and dyes? Is that even a decision? I love that when I open the pack of diapers my senses is greeted with absolute 'silence'. No 'perfumes', no dyes, nothing. Chemicals aren't good for any of us- especially those with immature systems for eliminating toxins.
I'm surprised by the many reports of blowouts. My son was breastfeed exclusively too, and we never experienced that.

This product might not have gel in it which is what I am looking for, but we cannot use them for our son because he is constantly moving. The bulkiness of these diapers get in his way so much that he takes them off himself.

These are nicely made. No chemical odor, unlike the new Free & Clear Seventh Gen diapers and Earth's Best diapers. Tushies would be better if the tabs were stretchy, but they work. My main problem with these are that it is difficult to tell when they are wet. I have gotten used to using the diapers that "gel" when wet and all I had to do was give them a little pinch to feel the gel. But with these, sometimes I have to take the diaper off to look inside for wetness. Also, Tushies diapers are so densly packed that they are not as flexible as others, which sort of makes my toddler walk with her legs farther apart than usual. I like the idea of a gel-free diaper, but probably will keep looking for something else. Oh, one more thing... I wouldn't want to use these on a young baby who still has liquid poo because these diapers do not have much of a gusset. (Gussets are the raise edges around the thigh of the diaper that helps to keep liquids in.)

I initially liked the idea of an all-cotton, no gel diaper. Unfortunately this product left us very unsatisfied. We cloth diaper at home and use disposables for travel and at bedtime. They seem to be very stiff and leaves marks our our babies bottom. After a major blow-out at the park, my husband told me to throw the rest of the package in the trash (I will save them for emergency use only)

I have no problem with frequent diaper changes, so the leaking isn't caused by leaving the diapers on too long and letting them get to full. This diaper fits poorly! It has no elastic and the tabs don't stick well, especially if you need to undo them to reposition them. Every poop my baby had in this diaper resulted in a blowout (we breastfeed exclusively). Otherwise, this would be the ideal disposable diaper for those of us who would love to use cloth, but don't have their own washer and dryer.

I use these as our night-time diapers. They are bulky, but absorbant, but work great.
We tried a conventional diaper and I readlly didn't like greasy/petroleum feel of them or the idea of them touching our little girl's bottom.

I would love to use these diapers only but the cost leads me to use Nature Babycare during the day and Tushies by night. Tushies are gel-free & seem so pure. My son is almost 2 & has done very well with both brands, though the Nature Babycare diapers have some gel-like substance.
Tushies are great & I highly recommend them!

We use cloth diapers and as soon my little one started sleeping through the night we would wake up to a wet baby and wet sheets. We tried everything and finally we decided to resort to a disposable, my husband did some reaserch and found these at a local baby store, they are amazing ,they are super absorbant and have NEVER leaked! They are stiff but we only use them at night so she doesnt seem to mind. Also perfect for a long car ride!

These are very stiff and have an awful fit!! I have only used a couple and have the rest of the package for "emergencies" but I do not plan on having to use them. I will stick with my Seventh Generations!!

Ok...I am a Nurse, have been a Nanny and am now a mom of a 2-year old. We cloth diaper. BUT there are times when a sposie comes in handy. At those times, I do not want to sacrifice my child's safety by putting chemical-laden diapers next to my daughter's sensitive, highly absorbent diaper area. SO we opt for Tushies.

They are NOT what I would call "soft" nor are they hard. My daughter is a super-sensitive redhead and will get a diaper rash incredibly easy. She does NOT react to these dipes. Yes, they can leak. But seriously people, diapers are meant to be changed every hour or two. When changed as often as they should be, to keep my baby's skin dry, I have never had a leak. Only when I forget. My daughter is a fairly heavy wetter and they perform well under these circumstances. They are, INDEED the only diaper that is TRULY safe that is on the market. As for "biodegradable" dipes...as a previous poster said, unless you plan on composting your diapers, this means NOTHING and is only an advertising gimmick.

I highly recommend this diaper if you want to spare your little ones of chemicals on their tiny heinys.

Figured I would try these out. These diapers are so very stiff and must to be uncomfortable next to babies skin.

This is a gel free diaper--so obviously it won't be as soft or absorbent as the others with the controversial chemicals and gels I would rather not have near my kids genitals for hours at a time--we use cloth and these for outings.
