Change-Diapers received product samples at no cost for review purposes. We were not otherwise compensated for this post and all opinions are our own. Buttons Diapers were designed by a husband and wife team in Washington, and are CPSIA certified after being manufactured responsibly in China.
One size covers are designed to fit babies from 9-35 pounds and have inserts and doublers that snap in (or use your favorite absorbency laid inside).
Covers have a single row of closure snaps with a hip snap and overlap, a snap down rise and belly elastic.
PUL is thick and sturdy and each cover has double gussets to contain messes.
I received a daytime microfiber insert which is 4 layers of microfiber topped with soft microfleece. Inserts are available in small (9-20 lbs) or large (20-35 lbs). Need more absorbency? You can choose a 4 layer hemp/cotton blend insert that is also topped with microfleece. Night time doublers are available in small or large sizes and are 5 layers of hemp/organic cotton or 6 layers of microfiber to snap beneath the daytime insert and get your baby through the night dry.
Here is the small rise setting:
Medium:
Large:
My son is 3 years old and a petite 28 lbs. He wears the medium rise setting of most diapers but I put him in the large:
I’ve never been able to get a great fit on him with any diaper that has belly elastic since he’s on the slender side & it tends to slide down. Even so the diaper worked very well for him and we had no leaks or issues.
Katie tried the diaper on her 27 lb chunky 1 year old. She also used it on the largest rise setting and said it reminds her of another brand with similar snap in inserts, but was a bit bigger and fit her chubby son better. She was also able to swap another brand inserts in. The snap in insert is great since it stays in place as he has started walking.
The double gussets keep messes in and the double thickness PUL is nice for a heavy wetter. Katie also received the daytime insert and noted that additional absorbency would be needed for night time. The front elastic is perfect for her tummy sleeper since it keeps the diaper right against his belly with no gap for leaking.
One size covers retail for $11 for solids and $12.50 for prints. Microfiber inserts are $3.50 each and hemp/cotton inserts are $7.75 each.

Have you tried Buttons Diapers?
Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air. 
These diapers look great! I am “new” to modern cloth diapering and I am so impressed w the double gussets in the cover.
I have a buttons diaper and it worked great for us. My son is a big boy though so he grew out of it by about 20 months. Until that point though it didn’t leak and is so easy to put together.
The pictures are very helpful. The double gussets seem great! I’d be interested to know how well the elastic holds up over time.
Wow, great review, I love all the pictures! I like that they have a microfiber and a hemp/cotton option. The double gussets look great, too!
I received a Buttons diaper as a freebie and love it! I like the gussets and trimness.
These are by far my favorite covers! I love the gussets and how trim they are!
I love AI2’s and would love to try these out. Thanks for such a thorough review! I’ll definitely be getting some soon.
I’m a huge fan of double gussets on covers.
I love the double thick PUL. Definitely great quality and seems sturdier than some covers
Love the gussets!
Ive never tried these but heard they are awesome. I love double gussets on a cover
I would love to try Buttons diapers! Especially the easy to clean cover. 😛
I love Buttons covers! They’re so soft and stretchy but still have the double PUL and gussets!
I do like how trim these diapers look. I would love to try a buttons diaper cover and inserts. I also like that there is a day and night insert
A friend of mine loves these diapers. I have not tried them yet.
These look great, would love to try this brand!
These look so easy to use! And I love the neutral green!
Excited about the hemp, the fleece lining, and double gussets!
These look awesome I want to try them on my little one 🙂
Buttons would be great for my stash!
People always seem to love this diaper. I havent gotten to try it yet 🙁 I really want one!
I love all in two’s! Would love to try this brand!
the little button at the back is cute!
I have tried Buttons diapers and I love them! They are extremely absorbent! I can’t use the nighttime doubler with my son as it’s basically a waste of an insert, he just doesn’t need it even through his 12 hours of sleep at night.
I would so love to try these, very cute and look like they would hold 🙂
I would love to try these out!! So cute♡
I love ours i dont like the MF inserts we got rashes from them but would love to try the hemp ones..
Cloth diapering is fantastic.
I love covers with double gussets. They are so effective!
first time cloth diapering my little one and i love these diapers
Loved your review! I don’t typically use covers with tummy elastic, but I do think it would be great for overnight on a tummy sleeper like you mentioned!
We have 4 Buttons covers coming in the mail and I can’t wait to get them washed and in rotation. We desperately need them since we only have 3 Econobum covers right now for a 16 month old boy with a baby girl due any day now. Hopefully they perform as well as our Econobum do. 🙂
I want to try the buttons diaper out. Love the double gussets and that it has elastic in both the front and the back. I am surprised they don’t have a newborn or smaller option for babies under 9lbs
I have two Buttons covers, and I have to say, I was VERY impressed with the quality. They are thick and feel nothing like “China Cheapies”. I didn’t buy any of their inserts (yet) but they works great over our pinned GMD wide prefolds. They are wide through the crotch like a Flip, and they are generously sized. They were one of the last one size covers my giant 3yo outgrew when she PL, and now they fit my equally giant 13m old great on the middle rise setting.
Definitely want to try these, I love how trim they look! And the double gussets and the ability to swap out soakers for different absorbency – sounds great! Thanks for good review
I love the ease (and cuteness) of the covers!
I didn’t cloth diaper my first child but I want to my second. I’m really interested in these!
would these fit a newborn?
I love the Buttons diaper that we have.
I love AI2s and the pastel colors these come in I love being able to use what ever I want for an insert.
I like the buttons. Cloth diapering is a great way to save money.
Love,love,love these diapers
Looks like a great diaper, I Like the double gussets and double thickness!
Love the hybrid system–good for quick changes on the go!
only ever used pockets but these don’t seem much different
I am a fan of the double gussets. Helps my heavy wetter and especially with poopsplosions and NB nursing poopies.
I like AI2 the most. Would like to try Buttons
Thicket is such a cute print!
I love the button covers we have for daytime use. I have some of the night time inserts, but to me it made the diaper very bulky and my LO was not comfortable so therefore would not sleep with both inserts in.
I love the idea of the double gussets and how trim they look!!
I would love to try these!
I love that they have the double gussets, I haven’t tried this brand but double gussets have saved me from so many messes.
I really like Buttons 🙂
I would like to try this diaper. I’m building my stash right now and I don’t have this type yet.
We love Buttons diapers! They are so easy to use and of course adorable.
Thank you for comparing the fit of the diaper on two large-ish kids. I have had trouble with a couple of diapers fitting my daughter when she was still well below the weight limit of the diaper, so I like to see real experiences with the fit of the diapers. I’m happy to see that there are hemp/organic cotton inserts for nighttime use. Those have worked well for us in the past.
I love buttons!!! I wish I had found them a year ago when I started to cloth diaper! Your review is full of useful information, thanks!
These seem like such a great deal! I love their new navy blue color!
I never noticed Buttons diapers until a friend who was new to cloth pointed them out. I actually won one for her in a giveaway.lol. Now, after reading your review and seeing that they’re interchangeable with another popular snap-in AI2 and that they’re double layers, I’m really intrigued.
I love the little buttons on the back, so cute! I’ve tried a few AI2 systems…I’d love to try Buttons and see the fit on my daughter.
I love AI2 systems. Will definitely have to add this to the list of diapers to try 🙂
Sometimes I really wish I had gone with AI2 diapers instead of pockets. These Buttons diapers are adorable and seem so simple.
Haven’t tried buttons diapers yet, but will have to pick a few up to try. I love ai2s and these sound wonderful. Thanks for the awesome review!
Thanks for the review! I have been eyeing this system for a while.
We have never had a leak with this cover, even without a tummy panel, which I worried about. Super trim too.
very cute, I am new to cloth diapering (1st baby due in July) and looking at all the options!
These look like they would make a fantastic introduction to AI2 systems.
I haven’t tried Buttons but would really love to. I had no idea they use double thickness PUL for their covers. I have a heavy wetter so I bet these would work well for us at nighttime.
I love versatile and affordable brands like this! I also don’t care for front elastic on diapers, but our Buttons have always fit and performed superbly.
I love Buttons — great brand and love the system.
we recently got our first Buttons cover, and we really love the fit on our skinny 2.5 year old. The quality is excellent and the pricepoint is fabulous. We’ve used this cover with great success paired with a FST laid in. SO budget-friendly!
These look awesome! I like the snaps an the double gussets
Buttons are adorable, but button on the bum is genius. I love the price point for these diapers! Definitely affordable and I love that they have the tummy elastic – our belly sleeper needs it!
I love what a bargain these are! They’re a great price for the quality and cuteness.
I just love the button on the bum…thanks for the review!
