Detailed Comments: 

I absolutely love these nappies.
They are an absolute bargain for one, a fraction of the price of BG newborn and teenyfits
I added the newborn bamboo boosters to boost the absorbency. I've had no leaks or pooplosions. I've been using for a week starting at 5 days. My daughter was 7lb 3oz at this point and as you can see she has skinny legs, but still no leaks what's so ever.
They have rise poppers too so are a better fit and slightly longer lasting than other newborn nappies I've tried. Also because they can be adjusted they don't come too high, so no problem with the cord.
Like the other Alva baby nappies they have the hip and waist snaps so no wing droop.
I marked down on cuteness because so far they don't do any prints for girls. ( 2 available for boys) they are still adorable though.

They are really slim between the legs, so baby doesn't look like she's riding a horse!

Only problem would be the the pocket is obviously tiny or they wouldn't be so slim, meaning I have to stuff the nappies as hubbys hand would never get in there.

How did you get Alva newborn diapers with the cross-over waist snaps and the hip snaps? I don't see those on their website - just the velcro version and the snap version that doesn't have the crossovers or hip snaps. Am I missing something? I plan on using Alva newborns and regular size for my son (due in three months, so I don't know how chunky or skinny he'll be) but I've read numerous reviews about the leg holes being an issue on the newborn diapers. If you could provide me a link to where you were able to purchase these, it would be extremely helpful.

Hi @MinesChick welcome to the forum and congratulations on your upcoming baby! You must be due around the same time as me, early December? I'm going to tag the original poster for you as she may not see it.

Hi @MinesChick nice to meet you (so to speak) these nappies look great. Are you uk based as I have found the exact ones on line?

Hi, @clothsister. No, I'm in the States. Where did you find them, though? I've been looking everywhere, and can only find the newborn Alvas with velcro or the snap pattern without the crossover and hip snaps.

Hi. Sorry. I didn't see any of this.

This is the site they were from. http://m.alvababy.com/#!1

The mobile site isn't good so if your using that switch to desktop view on your phone first.

They were good and I definitely choose them again over fitted nappies because they look nicer, are so much slimmer and easier.

Obviously being smLler/ slimmer they arent ss absorbant as fitteds. You do have to remember to change at every feed or they will leak.
