So I had purchased the Happy Heiny's size medium pocket diaper off of Nickisdiapers.com for $12.95 on sale. I was so excited to try it because I read that this diaper was one of the higher quality diapers compared to the ebay brand diapers. The shipping was super fast and the color of the diaper was exactly like the one on the website (candy pink).

The diaper I got was a size medium (14-25 lbs), with velcro on the front of the diaper to fasten around the waist. The diaper itself fits very good on my daughter, it didn't sit so low that her booty crack was showing, and it wasn't so bulky that her pants couldn't fit around it. Notice that there are no snaps because this is
not a One Size diaper. I have noticed on some diapers that the wings can be very wide and irritate the top of Autumn's skin, but this diaper has just the perfect size wing to where there are no leaks and no irritation.

The inside of the diaper is made of custom milled-fleece, which differentiates from the common micro-fleece and polyester lining of some of the lower brand diapers. Also this material helps reduce rashes and is very very soft, while polyester and micro-fleece is more likely to produce rashes for children who have very sensitive skin (but that's not in my case). The middle of the diaper is not too thin, so the insert (or pre fold) doesn't bunch up and create more leaks. Notice that the Velcro on the waist have laundry tabs so that they won't get stuck to other things.

The Happy Heiny's sized diaper has a similar feature to the Fuzzibunz diaper when it comes to the opening on the back of the diaper. The opening for the insert is at the very top of the diaper, with no piece of fabric to hold in the insert. If anyone has used a Kawaii Baby, or Babyland diaper, then they know what I am talking about. I personally prefer to have the cloth lip to cover the insert just because I don't want to have the insert slide up my babies back (especially if it's already wet).

One way that the Happy Heiny's diaper stands out to me is the leg elastics. Like most diapers, the leg elastics could possibly be too tight and leave red marks. The PUL material is normally sewn completely around the elastic, so the PUL material is causes the irritation around the babies leg. But THIS DIAPER doesn't have that. This diaper has the milled fleece sewn around the elastic so you're baby really does only touch softness. And when I had first purchased the diaper I thought that it would be a problem, but after looking online, this was completely normal and doesn't pose as a problem for leaks (and still hasn't leaked). I really really like this feature and wish more diapers did this because my baby has some chunky thighs.
Overall I really really like this diaper a lot and will probably be purchasing more in the future. In my opinion I feel that this diaper is as close as it gets to the functionality of a disposable. This diaper is my fiancé's go-to diaper when he changes Autumn because it's so simple to use.
Pros: Good fit, very trim, soft lining, good quality velcro, and great build for leg elastics.
Cons: The back insert is too open (but thats a personal preference).
Overall Rating: 9
