Looking at my text history, from shipping updates, I have had them since January of last year. Honestly, I wish I would have bought them sooner (I also with that they offered the gingham pattern in aqua). Back then, I was coming down with my second case of pneumonia, which would last until, about mid May, and I needed something desperately; Depends were out, and as I was having issues on both ends I was leaning away from my Goodnites. While I may not be a daily wearer, they've seen some use, and other than hand-washing them, I think they could last a lifetime. I mainly use them with Pampers baby Dry 6, with great success, and I've also been using my Luvs size 6 with the same results, though now I think I prefer Luvs to Pampers. I'm working out quite a bit, so in a while they may not be absolutely necessary to use (I'll be able to wear the diapers on their own) it's nice knowing that I have a crutch around just in case. In fact, my red meat allergy has me a bit of a mess today, I could very well be using them tonight as a precaution.
