What can I say, I'm not a fan. The Aplix tabs are HUGE and wide, and STIFF. They aren't comfortable next to my daughter's belly. Otherwise the diaper is fine, similar to FB and BG pockets, but I probably won't be buying any more of them.
Update 6/4/09: I was able to examine a well-loved HH diaper at a friend's house tonight and I think I know what part of the problem is with my HH. My HH is made out of a cotton woven PUL fabric. This makes it much stiffer than a polyester knit PUL that is more comonly used as a diaper outer. The polyester knit PUL HH (super cute cow print) was much softer. The aplix tabs are still huge, but I think the fabric might be the bigger issue.
Update 6/26/09: There's another problem with the cotton PUL. It wicks. Wicking occurs when the outside fabric of a diaper pulls moisture from the inside of the diaper. So when my daughter pees in her HH, the fleece gets a little wet around the leg holes. Then the cotton from the outer fabric draws the wetness out, despite the waterproof PUL lining. Suffice it to say, I will NOT be buying any cotton PUL diapers or fabric. Unless it's really cute... REALLY cute. Cuteness can trump the wicking factor.

Hey, I found your link on BBC (I'm Lameremusicale!)
I love your blog :)
And I LOVE gDiapers also ;p
I feel the same way about the HH's. And the aplix tends to curl up when dried, so be careful.
