Mamahill: I'm ready to give my review on Crickett's hemp!
And I have to say that I am disappointed in the new Crickett's hemp diapers. (FYI - they just started using new manufacturers - the first Crickett's hemp that I tried was using the older producers.)
The diaper itself is about the same. I have more problems with the leg ruffle turning inside the diaper than with the original, but not too big a deal. But the doubler is MUCH different. With the original, I loved the fact that it snapped in front and I could fold the doubler to give Colin double protection where boys need it most. And it was nice and trim and layed flat. The new doublers are much thicker and are getting all curly on the ends, and they are way too thick to fold over.
I have e-mailed the person who sold these to me to see if she has gotten other complaints (or has any suggestions for me); then I plan to e-mail Crickett and let her know that she has some quality issues with these new dipes. I'm not asking for a refund, because they are still usable, but if one is offered, I will likely take it. But what I'd really like are new doublers made in the old style!
So I would highly suggest holding off on buying any of these until they have the bugs worked out of their new manufacturing facilities. And Neve, I'm wondering what you think of these dipes - if you aren't thrilled, I'm really really sorry for recommending them!!
