I bought this so that I don't have to wash my boppy so often and it does protect the boppy well. I was afraid the cover may not be very soft since it was meant to be under another cover but it's very soft and can be used by itself. It's a great cover for the price!

I purchased the Boppy Water Resistant Protective Cover for the same reason that everyone does. I was happy about the idea of having a cover that would protect the pillow from the little leaks and spills that happen with a newborn/infant...until

I was recently given the opportunity to test out this 'water resistance' feature, by my almost 2 month old. Much to my irritation this is not water resistant at all. The spit up was immediately attended to but it had already soaked through the top cover (which was expected) and soaked through the water resistant cover right down to the pillow. There is nothing water resistant about this. I'm convinced the people that are rating it as a marvelous product have never actually been given the chance to test it out.

Here's the break down:

Pros:
- inexpensive as a regular cover
- washes up well
- goes on and off very easily
- fits nicely under a decorative cover

Cons:
- NOT water resistant in the least
- will make you very frustrated when you discover this fact

This gets two stars because I do not hate it, it works fine as a regular cover and is cheaper than some of the Boppy covers out there. It does not get more stars because it does not do what it claims.

There is a possibility that Boppy company did not intend this item to go under a decorative cover. Having a decorative cover over this one may change the way this cover is designed to resist wicking moisture into the fabric and subsequently into the pillow itself. Then again, who wants a WHITE cover on a pillow they are using with their newborn or infant??

I bought this in order to protect my Boppy pillow from wetness and stains. I had used it without any problems for the last few weeks, but today my baby had a poop leak out of his diaper while he was nursing, and the poop stain went through to the Boppy pillow, even though I was using this water resistant slipcover. I would have expected more protection from it.

This is soft enough to use on it's own as a cover. As such it's one of the most inexpensive covers you can buy for the Boppy. Unfortunately it only provides slightly more protection then a regular Boppy cover. It takes a little bit longer for the pee/poop/spit-up to get through but it will still get through unless you change the cover within a few minutes of the time your baby pees/poops/spits-up on it.

If you really want to stop liquid from getting through to your Boppy I would recommend putting a large waterproof lap pad over the Boppy. This is much more effective at stopping liquid and it also makes clean-up a lot easier because you don't have to hassle with getting the cover on/off the Boppy.

I was hoping this would help protect my Boppy pillow but it doesn't. My baby spits up a lot and it goes right through this protector. It's water resistant but not waterproof which is no help.

I did not think it was necessary to have a protective water proof cover since I already had patterned cover, but I got it as a gift so I used it anyways. After a few uses I am very glad to have it! I use the pillow to breastfeed so I have gotten quite a bit of spit up on it, and it has never let the pillow get wet! I highly recommend this cover!

Product is definately water resistant. I only purchased this slipcover for my boppy as I found it was not necissary to buy an additional cotton cover. I'd say this was a pretty wise purchase for the price.

it's THE accesory to have ifypu plan on breastfeedig a newborn.
this cover protects the pillow from getting wet and staining easily.
it's truly machine washable and it did not shrink when thrown in the dryer (low temp).
I highly recommend this item if you're using Boppy nursing pillows

I received one protective cover from my Amazon baby registry upon my daughter's birth in August 2010 and bought another in December 2010. I'm still using both of them as of November 2011.

Both covers have been extremely durable despite constant weekly to bi-weekly alternating use under another Boppy cover, occasional use as the sole cover, and me shoving a Boppy pillow into them with force while I'm trying to finish the laundry and my daughter is screaming for neh. Zippers of lesser items costing much more have self-destructed under far less stress. It even stays white and the fabric stays fresh in all those regular washes. Sometimes this cover can even be wipe-clean.

Inevitably in the last fourteen months I've had ample opportunity to test out its water resistance. There has been urine, some poop leakage, spit-up, bottles of water (oops), ice cream (oops again), snot (that one's not me), neh, and all manner of other liquids. While many have penetrated the top "decorative" Boppy cover and ended up on the protective cover, none have appeared on my Boppy pillow.

Please note that this product is not water *proof*, it is water *resistant*. It will prevent minor spillages from getting through completely (eg the previously mentioned ice cream or small amounts of the rest). But for major spillages (eg diaper blowouts, vomit,) you get at least a few to about fifteen minutes to dab with a paper towel and/or remove the Boppy cover prior to the liquid working its way down to the pillow. Plus who doesn't want (or need) to change the covers quickly after a major liquid incident?

Dirtying of the pillow would be almost instant with even a minor accident of mother or baby sans this protective cover. 5 stars is not enough.

Good product. Here is why:
- Fits the boppy snuggly
- Water resistant
- Soft fabric
- Love the flap over the zipper

I have owned this cover for about 3 months and so far, I don't have any complaints.
