This was a lifesaver in the summer, as I could get by with just one of these! The banana-patterned one has no noticeable stains. The dinosaur-patterned one has a hole about 1cm long around the waist. It's right where the diaper goes, so it's not very noticeable. It doesn't seem to have gotten any bigger after washing. Consider the dinosaur-patterned one a bonus.
