I started to order a SoftBums yesterday, but the toggle elastic thing just looks uncomfortable for LO to me. I wish they would show a picture of what it actually looks like b/c I'm picturing those big toggles like for windbreakers and drawstring bags.
Love my Softbums! Here's a pic of the toggles, and with the elastic and toggles stuffed back in. You have to fish them out of the top little hole there.
@Chickypoo2468 yes that's an omni. I like the Echos better right now actually because they're a tad more narrow. And are you sure it's not rust instead of poop those toggles start to rust eventually.
I also love my SoftBums - We have literally been able to use them from day 1. I haven't tried the Omni (I'm not a pocket girl) but I have several Echos and they are awesome. I haven't looked at June's prints yet...need to stay away
I only have one omni (which I only got for the gnomes, tbh), and I'm in love! I had it on G for nap time the other day and realized as I was making dinner that I'd never changed him when he woke up (FFMC). Six hours in that thing and no leaks (stuffed with an Artsy Fartsy Foo Foo hemp insert). Also, way way easier to adjust sizing than FB.
Echos are a microfleece lined cover with a snap on the back. You can use it as an AI2, but I typically only get 1-2 uses out of it since the fleece gets damp.
The toggle is awesome. Fairly easy to adjust, definitely tiny enough that is doesn't bug baby. My one complaint about the leg adjustment is one of my six omnis has a hole that's big enough that the ends of the elastic keeps escaping during washing. So I have to keep stuffing it back in. Really NBD, but you know I have to complain about something right?
Okay, I am sold!!! Now I have to figure out what else to order since I just placed a big Sweetbottoms order and don't "need" anything right now. I also forgot to add the code for the free diaper. Shoot. But it's for a Kawaii GNHW, and Kawaii's just never fit great for DS1 so I'm trying to not be too torn up about it.
The sad thing about SBs is the stupid print availability! They only release prints seasonally and once they're sold out they're done...so it makes it super hard to find cute ones! Also, the Chelory fold to fit inserts fit the snap on them and are made with Zorb and bamboo and hold a ton. I use those or pad fold a flat and lay it in there and they're awesome!

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
It all revolves around you.
