After a year in use, with washing and drying I can recommend the diapers. They are well made and keep their shape. There is also no annoying threads which dissolve from the edges. The colors are beautiful - light green and light blue even after a year of continuous use still. Only the dark blue looks washed out - which I expected but experience has shown that 1 star deduction for the cost of diapers for this. Overall, however, strong buy recommendation
