I buy these base on all the detailed favorable review . I work overseas and use foreign brand previously . -lrb- `` Popolini , '' a austrian brand , be we favorite for we first child , and we be still use some of they for # 2 . -rrb- however , in the country I be currently in there be no locally available option , so I order the Thirsties from Amazon . unfortunately , these leak terribly . with a newborn , they be good for about a hour at most . as soon as the diaper get damp , the trim on the thirsty wick moisture out and quickly saturate we son 's clothes . in other word , they be just about useless . we use the Popolini liner we purchase three year ago . they be bulky , but the Thirsties cover they fully with room to spare . I can not imagine that a different liner would work any better . in sum , the thirsty be of such little value to we that I be return they to Amazon -- shipping overseas to do so .
