Cotton Babies bumGenius One-Size Cloth Diaper Reviews
Cons: clog easily, fray easily, look tattered and worn, 9 month old will outgrow them soon, EXPENSIVE
I initially was very impressed with the BumGenius 3.0 one-size pocket diaper after I invested in a few after reading rave reviews online. They were adorable, made from quality fabric, and seemed to hold an amazing amount of liquid (making them ideal as an over night dipe). However, after about 3 months of use (we use prefolds during the day and then pocket dipes at night or when we are out and about) they started to look worn and frayed. I make my own natural detergent and only wash on gentle, then tumble dry low heat which would not account for their appearance. I also noticed that the diapers seem to get clogged pretty easily, which means I need to strip more often. I am already on the biggest setting and my baby is only 8 1/2 months old! I wonder if they will make it into toddler-hood, but we will see.
All in all I a much more impressed with my Happy Heiny's pocket diapers, which cost slightly less and adjust to a larger size.
Cons: the velcro should be better
This is my #1 favorite diaper of them all...And I almost tried everything out there. The cost for what you get is good. Although you'd think they would have better velcro on them...Other then that it's great. I would just own these if I didnt get all the other ones before. I actually bought mine at Target stores. The last 3 I bought from there they were on clearance though so the price paid doesn't really add up to regular price.
Cons: Velcro gets pilly with use
Bum Genius 3.0 Diapers make up the majority of our cloth diaper stash. They are easy to use, even for Daddys. BG are well made, and easy to wash. They really do fit babies of all sizes and ages. We have used the since our daughter was 3 months old, and continue to use then now at 11 months. They fit just as well now as they did when she was really little. The only drawback is that the velcro gets pilly with normal use, although it has continued to work fine. BG now offers snaps with their organic AIOs (which are also GREAT! ), but doesn't yet offer them in the pockets. I highly recommend these diapers.
Cons: none
Out of all my cloth diapers these are one of my favorites. They seem very comfy, they are soft, they have nice stretchy tabs, elastic around the legs and they grow with your child. I have not had too many problems with leaking.
Cons: The only slight negative is you need to do is be sure to use the laundry tabs on the velcro, or they will snag the diaper.
I started using these when my son was around 2 months old. He is now 11 months old. They have grown with him well, with still more room to grow. They are highly adjustable. They are my go to diaper. They don't leak. Very well made. They are the ones my husband grabs if he is changing him. We love them!
Cons: wear out
I have two boys in diapers. I have been cloth diapering about a year and a half. I love them! They fit both my 20 month old and 3 week old at the same time. My (now 2) son is small for his age. The doublers are great for overnight! These are the only diapers that I can use for overnight (my boys are very heavy wetters!). They're starting to wear out. The only part is where you fold the tabs back for washing. They don't stick, now I get a diaper train everytime I wash. I wash every night though. I think if I didn't have two in diapers, that they'd still be in great condition!
Cons: Little bulky but your kid can manage
I love these cloths. They are easy to use and fit the whole specturm and I have not had a single blow out in these. I tried the fuzzibunz aswell and they are not as good. I've had leaks with the FBs but the only time I have had a leak with these is when the diaper had been on for too long. These are hands down much better than anything I have tried so far even sposies.
Cons: expensive
These nappies were given to me as a baby shower gift. They are easy to wash and come with two inserts. The snaps easily adjust to your baby's size and closes with velcro straps. In all a good diaper no leakage at all and best of all reuable!
Cons: None
I started Cloth Diapering my Daughter much later than most...when she was about 10 months old. When I thought of cloth diapering I envisioned the traditional pre-folds with pins and loud plastic covers. Had I known that Cloth Diapering could be so easy I would have started from the get-go. I love the fact that the Bum Genius One-Size diapers will grow with my daughter and, with proper care, I will also be able to use them with my next child as well. They go on and off just as easily as a regular diaper and when following Cottonbabies care instructions, they wash up really nice. They pay for themselves so quickly too because disposables are so expensive. And best of all, even my Husband got 100% on board with Cloth Diapering when he saw how easy the Bum Genius diapers were.
Cons: The velcro tabs wear after washing alot
I bought several of the BG One Size cloth diaper after buying my first one and falling in love. This diaper is great to use during the day, but it is the ONLY diaper besides one other that I would use at night. My daughter is a heavy wetter and sleeps 12 hours and wakes up with no leaking!!!! I think to any cloth diapering mom that is super important. Who wants to be washing sheets everyday? The quality of the diapers is awesome, and they wash well. The only con that I have is that the velcro tabs wear out, and so I will replace it eventually on my own. Overall a wonderful experience, and I would definitely buy more in the future :)
Cons: Expensive intially & they don't fit newborns
I have used these diapers since August '08 & I love them. There is no question that these are better for the baby as well as the enviornment. Our baby has only had one bout of diaper rash since we started using these diapers and he only had the rash because he was put on antibiotics that upset his stomach.
The diapers come clean easily but be sure to refer to the Cottonbabies website on what detergents to use. They recommend Allen's All Natural detergent which is what I have used. It doesn't leave a film on the diapers so they stay absorbent. I have only had to strip these diapers once.(see the website for instructions) The only downside to these diapers is the initial purchase is expensive & they don't fit the average size newborn even on the smallest size. We used Naturebabycare disposables (made from corn, no petroleum) until our baby was big enough to fit into the BumGenius 3.0.
Cons: extra sticky tabs, expensive
Overall, I love them. They are very absorbent, never a leak when using 2 inserts overnight. The tabs get on my nerves a little, because the stick so well that they can sometimes be a pain to undo...and if you forget to attach them to the laundry tabs before washing, like me, they stick to everything in the dryer.
Also, I think the price is nuts!!! Almost 20.00 for just ONE of these things!! That's really just too much to pay. I only bought one to test it out, then bought sunbaby brand off of ebay to test those. They are identical, but sunbaby is half the price, and they have snap closure instead of hook and loop, so no extra-stickies from those.
These are great cloth diapers! They wash up very clean, unlike other cloth diapers that are bulky and hold smells. They are fairly adjustable size-wise and easy to get on and off baby.
Cons: price
Having tried almost every brand of diaper (pocket) out there, these are BY FAR my favorite! The trim design fits easily under clothes, and they are so easy to use that even my husband does it!!
Cons: Slightly awkward fastening system
Generally i prefer one size pocket dipes, but I thought I would give this all in one size small a try--seeing as a friend gave it to me. It has a very soft interior next to my son's bottom, and lasted about 3 hours. My son is a heavy wetter, so we often have to use doublers. Next time, we may put in an extra soaker. The Aplix or touch tape fastening system is not integrated into the diaper, so I found it a bit awkward to fasten--not a terrible hardship, though. I did order a pocket variety of BUM Genius, and am waiting for it, so we'll see how that one works out.
