    I have tried both. I love my BG and hate my FB. FB just don't fit my chunky baby and BG does. I am trying to sell my FB. 
  • I have both. They both work fine. I prefer BG slightly over FB. The fit is just a bit better.

  • I like them both.  Our BG diapers are aplix and they definitely show a ton of wear.  I'm not sure they'll hold up for baby #2.  I like that the FB perfect size diapers are pretty trim. 
  • I hate hip snaps-FB.  I can barely get two snaps done on my wiggly baby

  • I have both. I slightly prefer the FB (perfect size) because they fit her legs more snugly and are slightly trimmer than the BGs since the BGs are one size.  That being said, I've never had a leak or blowout with the BGs, though.   It frustrates me on a couple of the BGs that the snaps on the rise don't seem tight enough and so when I go to hook the waist snaps, sometimes the snaps on the rise come undone.  There are no rise snaps on the FB.    I use the BGs at night and just built a day care stash out of them since they were on sale recently.

  • I had both.  We got rid of our FBs fairly early on.  We just couldn't get a good fit, and always had leaks.

    FB tend to be either a love or hate affair here.

  • LOVE BGs (Elementals preferably) and loathe FBs.  The really annoying thing about FB OS is that there are five pieces of elastic you have to adjust within the seams of the diaper to get a good fit and you have to constantly change the settings as your baby grows.  I hated that.  I much prefer a snap-down rise.  I love BG Elemental AIOs in that I don't have to worry about inserts or the suedecloth or microfiber artificial fibers holding in stink.  But as with all things, I would try one of each and see what you prefer!  I know some people really like them!

    I love FB perfect size but just recently had to send two new ones back to be replaced due to shot elastic after only 2-3 washes and wears.  I hate the one size because they never fit ds #1 right at all (he's skinny with skinny legs) and would gap at the leg.  I love my BG aplix and snaps..they fit well on both my kids (ds#2 is really chunky) and we've had no leaks or blowouts.  The aplix from the 3.0's looks crappy but they're still working.  The aplix on the 4.0 are holding up very well so far and aren't showing a lot of wear.

  • I love my BGs and I hates my FBs. The perfect size were okay, but the OS was a terrible fit and I hated the elastic sizing stuff.

    This.

    I love my BGs, they fit DD great.  I think the FB perfect size are ok, I occasionally use them, but get leaks most of the time and never feel like I can get a good fit.  I don't like FB OS - the elastics are annoying.

  • Love bg. Hate fb.

    History of IF and 2.5 years TTC. The day we were to start our first IUI we received a call that changed our lives forever and 10 month old Olivia joined our family. Shortly thereafter we got a surprise BFP and baby 2 is due July 5, 2012

  • I've tried several of the BGs (pockets 3.0 and 4.0, organics and one size) and also FB perfect size and one size.  I LOVE FB perfect size.  I always use those first and then the BGs second. The BG snaps are a terrible fit on DS but the aplix are fine except that they show tons of wear and the aplix needs to be replaced.  I really love FB because they are softer, brighter nicer colors and have both a hip and a stomach snap so you really can get a "perfect" fit.  The FB OS suck and I got a terrible fit on those no matter what size DS was.  FB size LG are huge and I know will fit DS until potty training.  I'm not so sure my BGs will.  They are great diapers also, but I just prefer FB

    What size and colors are you selling?

  • Love my FB, Hate my BG
  • I prefer the trimness, softness, and colors of my FB perfect sizes. That said, I do have to change them more often or they WILL leak. My BGs are puffier and not as cute, but they have only leaked under EXTREME duress.
    We love our little guys!

  • They comprise the majority of my stash.  I like them both but slightly prefer FB.  The BGs I have are aplix, which I preferred initially, but as I really got the hang of CDing I realized that snaps are better for us.  The aplix is looking fairly worn after 16 months of use.  I'm also not a big fan of the flap at the back of the BG pocket.  Sometimes poop gets caught in there, which is pretty gross.  I also prefer the color choices with FBs.  But I do like that BGs are one-size (we use PF FBs) and I also like that they came with newborn inserts, which I use for wipes.  Both fit well and neither leak.

  • DS is only 6 weeks old so I'm pretty new o CD. That said, so far I love our FB perfect size and dislike our BG one size. That might change as DS gets older and fits the BG better. Right now I much prefer the fit of the FB's.

  • I have both and like both. I like the softness and colors of the FBs but prefer the fit of the BGs. I would probably buy more of either one except I'm hooked on trying to find lots of cute girly prints right now. My actual fav so far are my BG sized AIOs. They have a pocket for added absorbancy and fit perfectly.
