KCK One™ Feedback
The KCK One™ cloth diaper-news and reviews:
Independent Feedback for Kayla's Cloth Kits
Anna is quite smitten with the KCK One. This is the feedback that she left for the diaper, and Penny, one of our licensees on Diaperpin.com.
"THIS DIAPER IS THE LAST ONE YOU WILL EVER NEED TO BUY!
I was a 3-year disposable diaper veteran. Here were my four main concerns about using cloth:
-
Having to buy so many diap. in each size as baby grows
-
Bulkiness and clothes not being able to fit
-
Leaking / Wetness
-
Cleaning
So you can imagine all the questions I would have starting out. Thankfully, I came across the KCK One diaper just at my wits-end. I contacted Kayla, the creator of the KCK One diaper. She was so incredibly helpful. Kayla was so patient and kind and answered ALL my questions (however ridiculous they may have been) thoroughly. She also recommended sellers of her diaper for me. This is where I met Penny - on Etsy. I will simply say that the quality of her work in unparalleled. If you decide to get these diapers - I cannot recommend Penny more highly (the link is above.) Fit - These diapers WILL fit a child btwn 8-40lbs. I have a 6 mo. old and a 2 1/2 year old. They fit each one as though they were custom made for each one.
Bulkiness - These fit beautifully! Especially on my older one - you can't even tell she's wearing a cloth diaper. My little boy still fits in all his regular clothes. Not nearly as bad as I had expected!
Leaking / Wetness - I HAVE NOT HAD ONE LEAK! Each diaper comes with a microfiber insert which has been enough for daytime use (and I have heavy wetters). At night I have used the mf insert with a hemp insert and they have lasted 12 hours. There are three linings: microfleece, microchamois and suedecloth. I prefer the suedecloth. It stays completely dry against baby's skin no matter how wet they get it.
Cleaning - Simple. Seriously. These linings do not absorb poo so it comes out very easily if you're not using rice paper liners.
If this little diaper can take a disposable diaper lover and turn them into a cloth diaper user for life...it's a good product!"
Laura sent us this email: "I wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying the KCK One diapers! They really are the perfect diapers!! I have six kids and have been a mom for over 20 years now so I've been diapering for a long time and these are the best diapers I've ever found. The KCK One diapers are cute, practical, fit well, and since they are cloth, they are affordable.
I made them for my 13 month old and they fit him just perfect, out of curiosity, I tried them on my 3 1/2 year old and they fit great too! I am pregnant and I can't wait to put them on my new baby and get even more use out of them. I wish I would have found the KCK pattern first, it would have saved me from purchasing all the other ones I tried. I am working on getting my whole diaper supply to be KCK's!"
Here's what Tracy had to say about the KCK One™ cloth diaper: "I am in love with the KCK pattern.....I have made about 10 diapers using various fabrics and it has been a long 2 year search to find a pattern that will fit all sizes, be trim, and be cute. Love love love it .....Thanks!"
Jennifer wrote to tell me about her stash: "My stash is almost 100% KCK Ones. There is an odd Rita's Rump thrown in, but 99% of what I have are KCK One. Honestly, I don't know if I would have continued to CD without your pattern. It's just so *good*. The KCK One is also gaining popularity on my Eco Family message board. More and more frequently people are writing that the KCK One is their favorite diaper overall, or their favorite nighttime diaper. Yay! "
Elaine sent this email: "Thanks so much for this pattern, Kayla. My son is who is potty training is enjoying the diapers and I'm sure our next LO will too. My son is skinny and the KCK One fits him well and my niece is really chunky and they fit her also. I can't say enough about these. You saved me from having to buy a snap press for one size diapers too!"
Veronica wrote in with an email titles "My hubby has a crush" with this funny comment and a great comparison between the KCK One™ and another popular one size fits all cloth diaper: "My husband came up to me yesterday and with a straight and serious face and proclaimed, "I love the KCK One." Then he turned and walked away. There's a testimonial if ever I heard one ;)"
"We own a few bumGenius 2.0 one size diapers that we purchased when our toddler was about 12months. We loved them and thought they were the best diaper we had tried. We liked how trim they were, the fact that
they were going to fit longer, the stretchy tabs, and that they came with an insert.
Fast forward to this year when we discovered the KCK One. Here is what we found (we are comparing the 2.0 and do not own any bG!3.0's to compare):
-
Our KCK One fits our newborn better than the bG! Of course, our baby girl is a little bigger/longer than most are at her age. However, she may need a little more rise but her legs are not chunky (nor were her brother's). The bG! leaves some gaps around her thighs where the KCK One wraps around nicely.
-
The fit around the waist is better too. The snaps to configure the rise on the bG! just don't measure well with her. The smallest rise on it is a bit low but the next size is too long. The KCK One allows for a more tailored rise.
-
The KCK One is just as trim as the bG! Even more so because the crotch isn't as wide. I also think the fold-over front makes it less bulky than the snap down of the bG! It also makes the stuffing of the diaper easier.
-
The stretchy tabs on the bG! look like crap now after being washed time and again. The extra long tabs on the KCK One provides the same effect as the stretchy tabs without turning pilly.
-
I cannot stress the great fit of the KCK One for taller children who are long and lean. My 2yo is 36.5" tall, 32-lbs. Our major problem with finding clothes for him is that he needs a longer rise and length but smaller waist. You can see my son wearing the KCK One as a swim diaper and it fits him so well. We can't even fit the bG! on him anymore (and hasn't fit in it for quite some time).
-
The insert of the bG! is a bG!OS insert. It is sooooo bulky when folded down to infant size. And it is so wide that it doesn't even fit in my other infant sized pocket dipes. I generally just use it for
overnight.
Naomi shared her experience about the KCK One™ cloth diaper: "Just wanted to say a thank you for this cloth diaper pattern. I have been CDing my son since birth starting with fitteds made from another commerically available pattern. I was not happy with the fit, so when he outgrew what I had made, I went looking for a different style pattern.
I was drawn to the KCK One because of the one size feature and the velcro. Dipes in our house must be daddy friendly, and come off quickly because we EC part time. Anyway I made my son 16 dipes and we have been using KCK exclusively for over 2 months. I am so pleased with the fit, ease of use, and the quick dry time of a pocket. These will definitely be recommended to every expectant momma I know."
Dori said "The KCK One has a great fit, I am impressed. I am expecting my 4th baby in August and still have one in diapers who has moved up to a large and I dreaded cutting out 3 new sizes. I need new smalls and mediums, they have now gone through 3 kids and are just worn out. I only had a few larges for overnight because the other two had a tiny frame and well, #3 is a large girl and itsn't ready for potty learning. When I saw this pattern I got really excited at the prospect of having to cut and sew only one diaper for two kids. I was kind of doubtful, but this really works! I did my first one with just a back opening because I don't know if I'm ready to fiddle with welt pocket yet. Now on to the two dozen I need. Can we donate a diaper w/o the welt pocket? I'd love to help your cause as a thank you for the great pattern! Thanks again!"
Kate and her sister were impacted by the KCK Campaign for Families in Need: "My sister was chosen by Nikki at Baby Belle's Favorites to receive some donated diapers. It was such a blessing. She received them today and sent me a detailed email about each of the diapers, Nikki went above and beyond and created some great diapers for her. She even had cute patches on the bums, which my sister thought was just fantastic! And she sent FIVE diapers, that was unbelievable. The program you have is amazing and really touches lives. My sister is a young mother, she had my nephew when she was 20 and she is nursing student who works at night. She has been having a hard timing paying for everything, she is on a healthcare program for her insurance and receives food stamps. I help her when my husband and I can and started her out with some of my used diapers and a few a new diapers for her. I was asking around on where I could find some inexpensive pocket diapers for my sister, so that I could buy her some more diapers so she wouldn't have to buy disposables anymore. Nikki stepped in and helped get her diaper stash to the point where she doesn't have to worry about adding diapers into her small budget. It also helped me re-locate some sister money to get her a wet pail, some laundry detergent and a couple other need diapering basics. Thank you again for encouraging your licensees to be apart of this program. I have tears in my eyes as I write this, to see someone reach out to a loved one is so touching and wonderful."
Here's Kelly's experience with the KCK One™ cloth diaper pattern: " I bought the pattern last night, and being the pattern geek that I am, I immediately scrambled up to my sewing room to try it out. :-) I made a flannel pocket fitted. It was super easy and turned out great! The fit on my skinny toddler is superb. So trim and perfect, even with the flap folded over (only two layers of flannel). Yay!"
RunningMomma on Diaper Swappers said: "I have 5 kinds of OS dipes--Happy Heinys, Tiny Tush Elite, Wonderoos, Peas and Carrots, and KCK 1. the KCK are by far my favorite. I wish my whole stash was KCK."
Jennifer was pleased with her experience: "I have to tell you, I absolutely *LOVE* this diaper!!! It truly is the best fitting one-size cloth diaper that I have ever tried! I just bought one from Brandy's Boutique. I wish I had some from of sewing talent and I would absolutely sew these to sell on my site! Just wanted to let you know what a great diaper I think you have made!! :o) "
