Bumgenius Elementals?

Anyone use these? I'm thinking about buying some and would love to hear how they are from anyone who uses them. TIA!

They are my favorite diaper.

Pros: trim, very absorbent (we can go overnight if needed), had a great fit on both my kids, never leak and contained the messiest EBF poop, and hold up well

Cons: pricey, stains easily (suns out though), take a while to dry (I do one full dryer cycle on low and a few hours of line drying), and you have to make sure all the cotton is rolled in or you will get wicking onto clothes

The cons really aren't deal breakers for me, but they are things to be aware of before purchasing.   I really would love more of them!

I love them.  Our stash consists mostly of them.  They are my first reach for day.  I sometimes use them at night, but I am trying out various fitteds with wool for night lately.  My DD is a heavy wetter & poops at night & these diapers contain it all.  I use 4 Buddha Ballz in the dryer so it only takes 1.5 cycles of drying for them to dry for me.  I find them to be trim for OS AIOs.

The only con is they hold some poop stains.  I haven't sunned them yet so maybe that's the answer.

I have two.

 

Pros: trim, I like the BG snaps, absorbent, organic

Cons: takes forever to dry. I hang dry only. When it was warm in the summer they would take about 8 hours on the line. Now that it's cooler, I have to line dry in the house more often and they take 1.5 days. They're also a bit pricey!
