I decided to venture into the world of cloth diapers! I started my adventure with GroVia Hybrid cloth diaper. I was actually really impressed! It is easy to get started, quite absorbent, easy to change, and seems durable.
GroVia Hybrid Cloth Diaper
The switch to a cloth diaper is definitely a big jump, but GroVia makes it easy. The GroVia Hybrid cloth diaper is incredibly easy to use. I chose the Hybrid with snaps, so there are plenty of snaps for a huge variety of waist sizes, this one diaper could fit 8-30 pounds, easily. If the flaps have to overlap, one flap can button into the other. And both flaps have two buttons to keep them straight (so you don’t get the ends of the flaps sticking out all discombobulated). Third, there are rise snaps to adjust the length of the diaper as baby grows. Finally, my inserts have a snap on each end to keep them in place. All the snaps are easy to do and easy to undo, but not so easy they just come undo while baby plays.
The GroVia hybrid shell can also be used with disposable inserts, or used alone as a swim diaper!
GroVia Cloth Diaper Inserts
The No-Prep inserts I received are exactly that – no prep. I washed them once and we were ready to diaper! Other inserts have to be washed multiple times to reach maximum absorbency. How absorbent are they? Emersyn wore an insert for 6 hours during the day before she pooped in it with no leakage. An insert at night lasted from 7pm (bedtime) until her “feed-me” cry at 4am when she was absolutely soaked through. With disposables, one regular size 3 lasts the whole night without leaks, so the insert isn’t as absorbent, stuffing a second insert in the diaper does extend the time it lasts, of course.
Plus! The shell can be used again if it’s not soiled. The insert has little leg flaps to add protection at the thighs, so it is actually pretty easy to change the insert and still have a clean shell that can be used again.
GroVia Cloth Diaper Cuteness
There aren’t a lot of colors in the Hybrid diapers to choose from, but the choices are cute! Mine looks just like I expected it to, and the coloring looks just as good after a few trips through the laundry.
GroVia Hybrid Cloth Diaper Fit
The GroVia Hybrid diaper fits like a glove. After adjusting the rise snap, it was easy to chose the right waist snap, and the legs fit beautifully, no leaks! I’m impressed. The diaper also comes with little helpful guides for getting started and doing it right!
In a cloth diaper, Emersyn has a BIG butt! Not any bigger than any other cloth diapers, but this is my first try at cloth so it made me laugh. Pants that are slightly big on her in disposables just barely fit over the cloth diaper, so we broke out the next size up in her clothing stash. On the plus side, the big butt adds a little stability to her wobbly ability to sit up!

GroVia sent me a diaper and two inserts to review for this post. Opinions are 100% my own and not influenced by compensation.
I’ve been doing a lot of research on cloth diapers in preparation for the arrival of our first little one. I keep coming back to Grovia because I love the design of their inserts and I love that they have organic cotton inserts. Plus their colors and designs are fabulous! I only have 1 shell and 1 newborn AIO in my stash right now, but I would love to win some more!
Opps! I put the non-giveaway post I commented on on the facebook line, Can you fix that? Sorry 🙁
I love using cloth. We’re expecting our third, will have two in cloth, and are still using many of the diapers we used with our first! 🙂
we have been cloth diapering the 3 youngest grandkids for a long time now, and it saves us so much money
I’ve saved so much money using them!
Love cloth diapering! Just about to start on my 3rd cloth diaper baby!
I love Grovia! These are some of the best diapers to use while traveling because you can switch out cloth inserts with their disposable ones!
We love cloth diapers! We’ve used them since birth on both kids. They’ve saved us so much money and are super cute!
I love cloth diapers but have not been able to buy very many. Unfortunately my son is a very heavy wetter and we have barely found a system that works. I’d love to get to try out new diapers.
I’m finally switching to cloth diapers for my 10 month old! I just ordered a few Alvas because they are what I can afford right now, but I would love to try a GroVia!
So happy with the cloth diapers we use. Just wish our daycare was cloth friendly.
I cloth diapered for 2 years and now my son is day trained and only needs one at night. Baby #2 is on the way so we will start up again.
I’m 3 months in to cloth diapering my first and love it! We would LOVE to try out a GroVia!
Went through almost 3 years of cloth with my daughter and didn’t get to try any Grovia! Would love to add some to our stash for baby #2 due in July 🙂
I’m looking forward to trying them for baby number 2!
I’m due next week and am getting really excited to try cloth diapering baby #1! I bought a couple newborn covers and prefolds, but am waiting to buy one size until we find out the gender of our baby. Hopefully very soon!
We can’t wait to start cloth diapering when our first baby arrives! We are building up a stash now with a variety of kinds to try, would love to try Grovia.
I love GroVia and I’m looking forward to using them again with baby #3
I can’t wait to cloth my baby when he’s born. I think I already have an addiction to collecting them, hehe.
i really would love to try cloth diapers!
Love Grovia!
I love using cloth and how much money it saves us.
We love our Grovia cloth diapers too! Most diapers are intended to be changed every 2-3hrs during the day to keep baby rash-free, so you might consider giving that a try 🙂
I’m due in just a few weeks and hoping to cloth diaper baby girl full time after the first couple weeks! Looking forward to saving money instead of spending it on disposables every week…
We’re expecting our second in the summer and we are hoping to cloth diaper this baby. I’m very excited to start!
Cloth is amazing, once you get the hang youll never go back! if all the bits and pieces are confusing and overwhelming, start with some All-in-one diapers(Thirsties are the best!), essentially a disposable but you throw in the washer instead of the garbage! 🙂 love love love grovia <3
That’s such a cute print! Too bad my daughter is potty trained and I’ve got a boy in diapers right now! 🙂
I’m also completely new to cloth diapers and the Grovia hybrid is also at the top of my list. I have researched endlessly. It’s a very complex, new world! I think the Grovia hybrid is the one most likely to get the thumbs up from my husband. The snap ins, the biosoakers… so many options.
We LOVE our GroVia covers and would be so grateful to add another to our stash.
I love using cloth on my daughter! Wish I would have started sooner. It easier than I imagined.
I love having my baby in cloth but it’s so hard to not buy all the diapers!
We have a 3 year old and a baby girl due in 2 weeks. We are looking forward to using cloth for this one instead of disposables!
I can’t wait to start using cloth when baby comes in October.
We love cloth the next baby is going to be in cloth from day one!! 🙂
I am completely new to cloth but I’ve heard nothing but good things about GroVia! I wanted to cloth diaper with my first but got discouraged from it by others but this time around all the naysayers are making my decision to cloth diaper that much more concreted.
I’ve been using cloth for 14 months but haven’t tried GroVia. I would love to. Thanks!
Baby arrives in about 5 weeks and we are so excited to try cloth!
I’m excited to cloth diaper my baby very soon! My first is due in just under 4 weeks! I’ve heard great things about Grovia.
I have Flips and Best Bottoms right now but have heard great things about GroVia! I’d love to try them.
We have been cloth diapering for over a year now and plan to cloth diaper baby number two when he/she comes. We love our cloth diapers, my husband has even expressed that he likes the cloth over disposables. Happy momma here.
We use cloth diapers %100 and love it.Grovia diapers are cute and easy to use.
I haven’t tried GroVia yet, but have only heard good things!
I started using cloth diapers to save money and to keep nasty chemicals off of my little ones bum. Confession time now: I am addicted to cloth diapers which means that I am not sure if I actually saved money but I have used all the cloth diapers on three kids now.
I love how trim Grovia is. It’s the timmest brand I’ve ever used.
I love cloth diapering!
I am new to cloth diapering, my fourth child is due soon and I’m excited to start! 🙂 I would love to try this Grovia system.
I’d love to try the GroVia system. The best part you mentioned is the No-prep inserts!
Love saving money!
I used disposables with my first two and am excited about trying cloth diapers this time around!
LOVE cloth diapers! Hoping to build a stash!
I really like our Grovia Ai2s, would love to win some more and to try out the other inserts (we currently only have the Stay-dry made with the hemp/cotton blend). Thanks for your review and for the chance at winning this giveaway!
I have been trying out Grovia’s as well. I really like them and their hybrid system. 🙂
LO is due in September and I’m gathering several brands (GroVia is one of them) to see which I like best. I love the fact that this can be used as a swim diaper that is so convenient.
We love grovia. The woman that watches our daughter while we are at work loves the hybrid system and my hubby and I love the AIO. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.
I have two sweet girls in cloth and I LOVED the Grovia AIO in nb size when they were smaller now I’m ready to try the OS!
We just started CDing and actually have the GroVia AIO in Poppy. I also got a hybrid but am waiting for the snap in soakers to be restocked. I would love to get another GroVia diaper!
I love GroVia – cute prints and a trim fit. Also, super easy. I’d love to have a few more for my stash.
We haven’t welcomed our first LO yet, but we plan to try GroVia as part of our first stash!
We love our cloth! We have tried that grovia AIOs and liked them okay, but I’m not a huge fan of the side snaps. I have been wanting to try out the hybrid shells, since they are the same quality, but without the side snaps.
I like that grovia fits thinner between the legs and has a shorter rise – I have an itsy bitsy one and these fit very well.
A comment about cloth diapers: I’m due in May, have a stash going for cloth, but I’d love to add GroVia to that stash!
I love cloth diapering and couldn’t imagine diapering any other way. We love our Grovia shell!
I love how GroVia fits my daughter and how much money it has saved us!
Just had baby #5…did some fitted cloth diapers with #4 and would like to try this style for ease and convenience!
Preparing for July and doing my cloth diaper research. I’d love to try the grovia
We have been cloth diapering for years and Grovia is one of our favorites!
I love cloth diapers and really love GroVia. They are actually a local company for me which is super cool.
we lOVE our grovias!!! i havent tried their aios but their hybrids are great. cute new prints too!
I love how easy the hybrid system is. Being able to reuse the shell through multiple inserts makes it so economical!
I started with AIO but after picking up a few AI2/hybrids at a consignment sale I’m loving their versatility. I can use it as an insert and reuse the cover and my husband can just throw the whole thing in the pail without having to do anything. Best of both worlds!
I love cloth diapers. I will never use sposies again!
I ♥ GroVia, my favorite cloth diapers
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Grovia diapers but I’ve never taken the plunge. It would be a fun departure from the covers and flats/prefolds I do right now. Excited for the chance to maybe win one of these and hopefully show my husband that cloth diapers can be a snap. 🙂
Finishing up our first full week of cloth and absolutely loving it!
I absolutely LOVE our groVias! I want to fill my stash with them for our little one on the way instead of all the pockets we have!
We love cloth diapers! I recently got my first GroVia and it’s quickly become one of my favorites. I’d love to add another to my stash!
We will be cloth diapering for the first time come the end of may!!
We have 1 grovia shell and it is huge! I think it would be great for bigger kids still in diapers.
What a cute little fluff butt!
I haven’t seen these diapers yet, I am not really sure I get the hybrid does the liner touch the baby still? I have mostly pocket diapers in my lot and they wick away the moisture so the baby stays dry. I have been looking for comparisons but haven’t found any amazing differences. Everyone is saying that hybrids are better, what do you think? Is it worth trying ?
I love grovia! But only have a couple of shells. Would love to get more!
I have 1 Grovia shell and love it .Thanks for the chance to win.
Love our cloth diapers, but have yet to try the GroVia! I’m not really sure why, other than I feel like they’re one of the pricier brands (since you have to buy the shell AND insert).
Grovia is actually a brand I’ve never tried and would love to!
I have one Grovia diaper and I love it! It’s an AIO, fits my baby wonderfully and has never leaked on us. I would love to try another Grovia diaper!
Really want to try a hybrid style!
I’ve always wanted to try the Grovia hybrids!
Nice diapers!
I JUST started cloth diapering with my second child (at 19 months!). It’s really a learning experience. I am excited to try different kinds of diapers!!
We are just jumping into cloth for baby boy due the end of this month. I am addicted to building my stash and can’t wait to get my fluffy diapers on the booty!
I love cloth diapers! I have two boys in cloth. We are big Grovia fans. The shells fit so well and the prints are adorable. This diaper would be well used and loved!
I’ve been cloth diapering for about a year and a half now and absolutely love it! I only have one GroVia, surprising. I’d love to have more!
I love using cloth! We just got our second Grovia shell in Little Warrior from SprayPal and I would love to add another to our stash
I love these diapers, they are great and super convenient!!!!
Cloth diapers are an awesome way to make a difference in the world!
I can’t wait to start use cloth diapers when the little one arrives! What I love about cloth diapers are the print/colors, free of chemicals and easy on the budget. Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
I’m loving using cloth diapers so far! It;s not anymore work than i thought!
I can’t wait to try Grovia
We’ve only been cloth diapering for a couple of months. We’re still trying to get a feel for what diaper works best for us. We haven’t had the opportunity to try Grovia and would love to win this to see if it’s the perfect fit for us!
We have a new baby on the way & I’d love to try Grovias!
Super excited to cloth diaper with our first on the way!
I’ve never tried grovia before and would love to try it for my LO. I am amazed by how absorbant it is. I am looking for cloth diaper that can last more than 3 hours so we are comfortable in a long car ride. I hope grovia is the answer 🙂
I have found normal jeans and cotton type pants not to work too well with cloth diapers! I usually do skirts with leggings, and dresses with biker shorts or bloomers in the summer. I love cloth diapering!
I really love my cloth diapers. I’ve heard such good things about GroVia and I’d love to try their hybrid diaper.
We love our fluff! Best decision we made after having our little guy.
I’m a huge Grovia fan!!!
i love Grovia diapers. I just got their no prep soaker and i love it.
Doing my research for cloth diapering and found this blog helpful for the Grovia brand. Expecting our first in May and looking forward to cloth diapering adventures!
I just started cloth diapering and I’m a bit nervous of the wash cycle! I can’t figure out whats the best way to do overnight without my son getting all red.
Really hoping to cloth diaper with my baby on the way. I wasn’t able to with my first born because I couldn’t afford a start up stash and am afraid to use used of something so personal. I think this time if I can’t at first I’ll stock up slowly and make the change once I can. The grovia look like they fit really well. Hopefully the inserts are very absorbent, cause if this baby whizzes like my first one, it’ll take a miracle not to leak through each night!
I really want to try grovia
