How do you feel about the BumGenius Freetime?  I am thinking about registering for them at Target! 

Re: BumGenious

  • @tj1979. ? I didn't like them. My baby is really little and they were HUGELY bulky on him. I love the 4.0's

  • I personally love them.

  • I second @mandmeesh. Out of the BG line 4.0s are my favorite.

  • I have 3, but they're not my favorite. I always worry about the flaps bunching up and exposing the microfiber side to her skin. I third the 4.0 love, they make up the bulk of my pockets!
  • Bulky and take forever to dry.
  • So 4.0 is better?  What about the time it takes to stuff them?
  • My neighbors swears by them. I just got a few to add to my stash.

  • I like mine, but I do worry about the microfiber part, too. I don't send them to dc or my parents for that reason. I did just order an obge and will probably order another from cottonbabies and those connect at both ends from what I can tell, so those might be better. 
  • I love my Freetimes! They are MH's go to dipe, and what we send to DC. They fit great, we never have leaks, we are overall very happy with them. My cousin and my SIL use them almost exclusively too.
    Mh HATES pockets. We haven't had as good of luck with then and he refuses to stuff. So if Freetimes work and make him happy, I'm in.

  • I love my Freetimes! I have a mix of them, 4.0s and ObGEs (among others) and I find them to be pretty trim and dry quickly though I dry everything in my dryer.

  • love my freetimes. I find they dry quickest of my aios when I do line dry them. 
    I have yet to have a problem with mf touching the skin.

  • We love our FTs and use them almost exclusively at home. I line dry and typically hang them at night and they are dry and ready to use in the am. 
    I hate stuffing pockets and that was the appeal of the FTs for me. we have used them for 6 months and are very happy with them. 
  • I have a few. I'll never buy more. They are ok...they work just fine, but they are the only diaper I have issue getting the smell out. They take forever to dry too. They are on the bottom of my pile.

    I prefer the 4.0 to ft. It doesn't take long at all to stuff. I wash my diapers eod. I stuff my pockets while I watch TV. Takes just a few minutes.

  • I really like my FT right now, but we've only been using them for a few weeks.  I like that I can grab it and use it right away without having to find an insert if I haven't folded the diaper laundry yet.  I also like that I don't have to unstuff, and I plan to send them to my babysitter when DS starts going for that reason.
  • We use the Elementals. They're great for an aio and I like that the microfiber isn't attached. I've heard of microfiber stink over time, so atleast with 4.0s you can change out the inserts. With freetimes you're stuck with the issue.

  • I have a few freetimes.  I wouldn't want a whole stash of them but they're okay.  They dry pretty quickly for AIO but I prefer my 4.0s.  Stuffing them really doesn't take that long and I prefer to switch up what I put them.  For instance, I double-stuff at night with a hemp insert.  I tried to do that with a FT but it was just too bulky and there was gapping in the legs.  A FT would never work for my daughter overnight.

  • They are my favorite and we switched our stash to be completely Freetime.  I hated stuffing my 4.0s and my FTs don't take longer to dry than my 4.0s did.

  • I love em too. I don't think they're bulky at all and they dry pretty fast compared to some other AOI's I have. I have 4 of them and my mom and DH like to use them bc they're quick. I use them on the go mainly.

  • So funny how some people hate stuffing... it never seems tedious to me! It literally takes five minutes to stuff about 20 diapers every three days, and I do it while hanging out with the baby on the floor. 

    I personally hate AIOs because of the drying time. My 4.0s dry so quickly, and I never have to use the dryer. When I had AIOs I hated the time it took to dry them and avoided them for that reason.

    I thought this about stuffing until I had two in cloth.  Then I wanted to die.  Plus, I'm jealous that your baby doesn't destroy your diapers as you fold.  Henry will immediately pull over every pile I fold up to put away.  
    I sit a few feet away from her, and she doesn't move more than a little scootching yet. I'm sure I'll have to change my habits as she gets more mobile! I really hope to avoid having two in cloth simultaneously... we'll see how that goes!
