Cloth Diapering

tell me more about Tots Bots easy fits

I got a Gingerbread Man one and love it.  I love the fit, the feel, the size, that it's all one piece that you just tuck in... pretty much everything about it.  Do they need an extra insert over time?  Any "cons" that I'm missing?  Where can I get them on sale?

Re: tell me more about Tots Bots easy fits

  • I have 28. they are my only diaper. well except for the 4 tots bots bamboozles I have for night time. my LO is a serious heavy wetter. 

    I have been adding a hemp insert for naps lately, mostly b/c he leaks once in a while and is a boy and a tummy sleeper and a heavy wetter. otherwise the easy fits work fine during the day.

    I did have an issue when I ordered 7 in the newer colors. the elastic was way stretched out. I thought something seemed weird about them right out of the packaging, like they seemed bigger, but didn't investigate it. I started having blow outs and held one up to compare the size to an older one and realized the elastic problem! bummis sent me replacements and they were fine. 

    I've been using them since August, and some of them got some pretty hard wear and tear (I only had 11 at first and was washing daily!). but they seem fine so far. the newer ones - which I am not sure how they compare to the holidays ones have a much softer outer PUL.

  • oh and sales are hard to come by. I bought 6 used. I scoured craigslist for deals on new/used. I waited for coupons on diaper sites. I found a few mispriced at one diaper site and they honored it for a few of them. a local CD store went out of business and I got some discounted there. they sell on amazon so if you have gift cards.

  • Thanks! The PUL is very soft on the one I have, which is one of the things I like about it.  I've tried a lot of dipes, but currently my stash is heavy on Blueberrie/Swaddlebees (I think around 13) and BGEs (5 or 6) and I use SBish for overnight - that's pretty much it.  I've only used this diaper once so far, but I really like it - they go for just under $24 on Amazon - is that the regular price?  Do you order directly from them?

  • I have one that I love.  It's so trim and I love the color (blueberry).  I don't think I've had a leak with it and I just use the insert that comes with it.  In my other pockets I use either a large microfiber insert folded in the front or a hemp insert topped with a newborn microfiber insert.

    yes usually they go for $23.95 everywhere. a few places like diaper junction and kellys closet have a few cents discount per diaper if you buy in larger quantities. I think there are still some of the older style PUL ones out there being sold though, so if you buy and get one with stiffer PUL you may want to return it since you like the softer kind and I think it is a big/only difference noticeable to me anyway from the old to the new. the green apple, brown, and grape defintiely wouldn't come as the old PUL b/c those are the newest colors released and I don't think they ever made them with the older PUL. but I have blue, red and orange and a few of the prints, that some are the new kind and some aren't even though they are the same color. I am not sure which I prefer! or if I just like them the same.

  • This is my favorite diaper! I only have two and have been using them for about two months. I ordered one on Amazon, and bought one from my local CD store. The shop near me is no longer carrying them because they say they are very similar to the Bumkins AIO (Bumkins is owned by the owner of the CD shop, apparently). I picked up two of the Bumkins versions yesterday for a STEAL ($7.50 each), and will see how they compare.
