Does anyone use Best Bottoms?

Corbin30

Hello all!

I am waiting on number three, and we are looking at diaper options. I have a 15 year old and a 9 year old, and the only thing I have ever used are prefolds, pins, and rubber pants. This is DH's first, and while I have convinced him that CD are the way to go, he has drawn the line at "flat diapers and pointy pins". I have gotten hands-on with a couple different brands, and (in theory) we like the Best Bottoms. I have only found one person IRL who uses them, and she loves them, so I was hoping for a little more input.

TIA,

Corbin.

I have one Best Bottom diaper, and its always the last one I reach for. The outside is so plastic feeling, and they don't fit DD very well. They may work for you though. I love that they're made in the USA.

I'm interested in this too as I'm planning on using the BB (along with some AIO and fitteds) with my next baby.  I have one cover and 3 inserts so far in my stash and they look great, just not sure how they'll work yet.  I've heard that you can use the bioliners from Grovia with them, so it can have a disposable option too (what I want for trips).

We have some best bottoms. Right now we aren't using them because I only have the size small soaker and DD needs a larger snap in soaker. I liked them a lot when DD was smaller because they never leaked and are so trim. We've since transitioned to using more fitteds/wool.

I'm contemplating on either selling my stash of Best Bottoms or saving it for LO #2. They are one of DH's favorites to use, but he works so much I do most of the diaper changing anyways.

I think there are more reviews listed in the board's cloth diaper review spreadsheet. Hope that helps some!

They aren't a good fit on DS, so I probably won't buy the next size up on inserts.  DH tends to use them for some reason, though, maybe because they have velcro?  I'm also moving towards more fitteds, plus we use AIOs & pockets that you don't have to unstuff (AppleCheeks & Thirties) for MIL who is our "nanny".

Sure can!  I've done this many times and will be doing it again for a cross-country trip at the end of the month.

We have 1 cover and 2 inserts, I have no problem with them.  I use the cover for my fitteds as well because it is 1 of only 2 covers we have that fit LO right now.

I like my BB. We also use the cover over fitteds and prefolds. We never have any leaks, but sometimes poop gets on the cover. We use the BB OS with a small stay dry insert.

We use the BestBottom for day care, because it was cheaper than buying a whole stash for daycare and another for home/weekend. We didn't start using CD till 6 month though, so I don't know how they do on NB. I love them! Once daycare (and myself) got the hang of where the snaps should go, we haven't had blowouts. Jeanne has pretty chunky thighs, and so the legs are a little squished on her, but she does not fuss about it.

BBs are my preferred travel diaper.

If you decide to sell them let me know, depending on the color I'd love to buy them!
