Independent Feedback for Kayla's Cloth Kits
Customer Testimonials
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. 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.

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 commercially 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 is 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 Sewing Room. 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) "
Monica got her kit and then sat down and sewed her
diaper the same day. She said "I haven't sewn much before; I just got
the machine a month ago so I'm pretty inexperienced! I thought the
directions were great, and really made the whole process quick and
easy."
Here's Esther's experience with our kit! "I finally
finished my diaper! Thank you for your kit! It was so helpful. I was
still nervous about cutting into the PUL and suedecloth, so I practiced
on a t-shirt first. Last night I did the diaper from your kit. It went
very well. Your instructions are very easy to follow."
Ashley wrote in saying "So I found a little spare time
to try out the pattern, and I love it!" She wanted to share pictures
of her creations with our customers:
Kristina Perez of Washington put a special twist on
her medium KCK diaper shown below. She invented this very cute pattern
modification for a suedecloth/microfleece waistband! Here's what
Kristina had to say about her size Large KCK diaper: "I made your pocket
diapers and I love them. Kayla, this is a GREAT pattern! They fit both
my boys great. One's 3 yrs old, and 33 lbs and the other's 18 mo. and 25
lbs!" (Her 3 year old is pictured below).
Chrissi B. from Iowa made these cute little PUL sandwich pocket diapers using our pattern. She says "I LOVE EM!"
Melanie from Michigan sent us these pictures of her
cutie in his medium KCK pocket diaper! She said "I just wanted to say
thanks for the diaper kit. It has been hard tested twice and I like it
so much I ordered the complete pattern last night to make a size large
for my nephew. The medium is going to fit my skinny guy for a long
time!"
Jamie from TX used our diaper Kit to make her first
pocket diaper with a PUL outer and white suedecloth inner. It turned out
great Jamie! She says: "I really loved the kit and It was super easy! I
can't wait to see how it fits my little one come December."
Marianne from Georgia purchased a Colossal kit with
Sage PUL and white suedecloth. Here are a couple of the diapers that she
made. She even embellished one of them with an initial...how cute! She
says: "I am really getting into this cloth diapering thing and it is
really fun to know that there are other moms out there doing this and
enjoying making them too"
Here's Melissa of Florida's show and tell for her
Complete Diaper Pattern purchase! "Hi Kayla! I wanted to let you know
I've completed 4 large fitted diapers and have another 4 in production.
They all fit very well and were SUPER easy to make. They are super trim
and fit will under a Thirsties cover. I just love your diaper pattern
and the instructions are indispensable. I have recommended this pattern
on several posts and groups to people asking about patterns and such."
Claire had this to say about her kit: "The kit is easy to sew,
instructions are clear. I was sewing a size M. My son is a heavy wetter
and he kept it without any leak for 4 hours, and breastfeed-baby-poo
stay inside too!" She later purchased three more kits!
Chris completed this fitted diaper with a flannel
outer and suedecloth inner. it is a size small. She said "The diaper
turned out really nice. I think I've become addicted to making them now.
Didn't realize how easy it was."
Heather A. of San Diego made the left diaper from our
medium fitted kit. It has a flannel outer and purple suedecloth inner.
She was enterprising and made another (right) with her own fabrics! She
later ordered a large pattern as her DD was outgrowing the mediums.
Alicia was one of my very first customers! She made a
nighttime fleece pocket with my kit and it got lost on an excursion with
DH! She liked her lost diaper so much that just purchased my complete
pattern to make a stash for her little one who's on the way! Here's what
she had to say: "I got one of your diaper kits off of Ebay months ago
and thought it was super easy to make and cute! Great for a beginner
like myself! Now that I'm pregnant, I can't wait to make a whole stash
of your dipes! Thanks again!"
