Is it just me...about FB

LesleyH11

I started cloth diapering with BG and I immediately fell in love with them  I then got a smoking deal on Ebay for FB (12) so I decided why not.  I bought these maybe a few months ago and I can't get used to them, I mean they're okay.  I also have one FB Elite THAT I HATE...especially putting the insert in!  My hand wont fit!  Which is another problem I have with the regular FB.  Is this normal LOL...or is my hand too fat...damn.  Vent over..sorry...maybe there's a trick in putting them in LOL.

FB are my favorite (perfect size.)  I have long, skinny hands, so maybe that's why I don't have trouble stuffing them.  However, my DH has the fattest hands I've ever seen and he is able to stuff the size small, but he couldn't fit his hand in the xs.  I just shove my hand into the pocket with the insert in it and then straighten the insert out.  Keep your hand so it's touching the fleece, since FB PUL is pretty sticky inside.

On the other hand, I HATE stuffing OS pockets, including BG.

We have the same problem!  I love our BGs and have a handful of FB but try not to use them unless they're the last ones in the pile.  I don't know how people can stuff them with more than one insert...it just seems impossible to get them to fit.  Although I like the Elites better than the others but they're all really difficult to stuff and I find that they leak a bit easier too...around the legs.

OMG! I never thought about stuffing through the fleece side...I'm an idiot LOL I'm going to try that as soon as my load is done THANKS!

Yes they do!  I see this more with FB than BG...I love BG

We're in the "hate 'em" catergory.  I've tried both the OS and the PS, just not a good fit for us.  And you're not alone, I can barely get my hand in the OS they're so narrow.

Hate them.  Hate stuffing them.  And hate the new ones even more because they are "stickier."  We have 3 OS and 3 sized, and I really wish I could just trade them in for more Bum Genius!
