Cloth Diaper Review: BumGenius Organic AIO

Another Diaper that I got early on is the BumGenius Organic One Size All In One.  I like the super easy factor of this diaper.  There is nothing to stuff.  The layers of organic cotton are attached to the cover.  You just put it on the Kiddo.  I like this for when someone else is watching baby, not that I save them for that.




 Here's the inside.  I like that it is nice soft and clean, organic cotton next to baby's skin.  Baby can feel the wetness with this diaper which helps the association of peeing and feeling wet.

 It has the same snap pattern as other BumGenius diapers.  The fit is the same as their pockets too.  They fit my chunky thigh babe well and I don't have to do any tricks with the snaps.
Pros:
No unstuffing or stuffing!!!

Cons:
Takes a long time to dry, seriously

The Rundown
Size: 7-35
Style:  AIO
Closure: Snaps on front
Rise Adjustment: Snaps on the front

Cloth Diaper Review: FuzziBunz One Size



FuzziBunz One Size are a stay dry pocket style diaper.  They have a unique size adjustment that uses elastic with buttons for both the legs and the back.  The adjustable back is something that I haven't seen on other diapers and would like to see more often.


 Here is a close up of the leg elastic.  It takes some trying on the baby, but once you have it adjusted you can leave it there until you need a bigger size.  I like how customizable the sizing is on this diaper.  It makes it easy to fit my baby with cubby legs, but not a cubby tummy.
Here is the pocket and insert.  The tag says to shake the insert out, but I find it usually requires pulling out due to it being a tight fit for the insert in the pocket, but the open pocket makes it easier to remove the insert than an envelope style pocket.
The diaper comes with extra elastic and 2 inserts.


Pros:
Detailed size adjustment


Cons:
Harder to stuff because the insert is large for the pocket size


The Rundown
Size: 7-35
Style:  Pocket
Closure: Snaps on front
Rise Adjustment: Elastic in the sides has buttons to adjust the size
Where is it made?  Turkey
Price for 1:  $19.95

Cloth Diaper Review: Bottombumpers One Size Side Snapping AIO


Bottombumpers are a tongue style AIO or Snap In One style as the insert snaps in place and can be removed.  They also have sized diapers.

The lining is organic cotton and the soaker/ insert is organic cotton and bamboo velour so this diaper is very soft next to baby's skin.  The drying time is good for a cotton AIO and the tongue style soaker really helps with that.  A smaller extra insert is sold seperately.

So far I've used this diaper once at night (with the extra insert) and did not have any leaks!  Yay!



Here is the rise size adjustment.  I like the color coding and their website has weight guides for the different colors.

This diaper seems like it would fit a baby with skinnier thighs a bit better than it fits my girl with chunky thighs. I snap the top row of snaps one smaller than the bottom row to compensate for this and it has been working well.

Pros:
No unstuffing
Relatively quick drying

Cons:
May look confusing to a newbie

The Rundown
Size: 8-25+ pounds
Style: Tongue/ AIO
Closure: Snaps on side
Rise Adjustment: Snaps on inside back, under the insert
Where is it made? USA
Price for 1: $22.95

Cloth Diaper Review: Smartipants


 Smartipants diapers are the staple of our diaper stash.  I needed more diapers quick and both the sleeve style and price appealed to me.  There are two columns of snaps on the front for the rise adjustment and one row of snaps on the front for the closure.  The tabs can be crossed for extra small settings.


The insert is microfiber and it goes in a sleeve instead of the usual pocket.  The sleeve lets the insert agitate out in the wash, which is awesome!



Pros:
Easy size adjustment
Good fit
No unstuffing

Cons:
Does not come with an extra insert for night.

The Rundown
Size: 7-35 pounds
Style: Sleeve/ AI2
Closure: Snaps on front

Cloth Diaper Review: BumGenius 4.0 Stay Dry Pocket Diaper


The first one size diaper I bought was the BumGenius Pocket Diaper.  It has 3 sets of snaps for the rise adjustment and 2 rows of snaps on the waist.  There is a microfiber insert and it came with a smaller infant insert to use first when baby is tiny or to add some absorbency.  I use both inserts for overnight.


It fits my baby really well.  She has chunky thighs and a not chunky waist, so this is a problem for some diapers.  It has an envelope style opening for the insert and the larger insert has snaps to adjust the length.  Stains come out easily, mostly in the wash, and a little time in the sun gets the rest out.  They dry quickly for this style of diaper.

Pros:
Easy size adjustment
Good fit

Cons:
Requires unstuffing

The Rundown
Size: 7-35+ pounds
Style: Pocket/ AI2
Closure: Snaps or Aplix (velcro) on front
Rise Adjustment: Snaps on front
Where is it made? USA and Egypt
Price for 1: $17.95
