LOVE LOVE LOVE!  My absolute favorites!
I ordered a few of these diapers from Amazon to try them out on my 2-year-old twins.  These are just as nice or even nicer than my BumGenius, Thirsties, Trend Lab, Diaper Safari, Imagine and several other brands.  I love the minky outer and prints, and so do the twins. They like to pick which diaper they wear (which makes diaper changes fun instead of an argument), and they ALWAYS pick their Alva minky diapers's first!  I only wish these were the first I'd tried instead of the last!  I went and bought 20 more from Alva directly because they have tons of adorable prints both in the minky outers and the plain PUL!  One twin is almost 30 pounds with chunky thighs, and she still has plenty of growing room (so I think it will fit far beyond 33 lbs. whereas some brands say up to 40 and won't even come close...these exceed the size expectations).  The other is only 25 pounds, and these adjust wonderfully to fit both with no leaks or problems at all.  I will say the only negative is that the minky CAN wick if you have an extremely heavy/fast wetter - like my daughter (read that - never ending Niagra Falls wetter all night long!)  Occasionally the leg openings will be slightly damp when she wakes up in the morning, so I usually choose a non-minky Alva for nighttime for her.  During the daytime I have never once had a leak with these at all in several months of use.  They are very comparable to the BumGenius and DiaperSafari pockets with generous sizing, very soft lining and no problems at all with pilling but MUCH cheaper AND I (and the twins) do love the super soft minky!!
