Cloth Diapering

new- fuzzibunz or bum genious?

Ive decided I want to try cloth diapering. I have a friend lending me alittle bit of everything to try it out.

Do you prefer fuzzibunz or bumgenius? Pocket or all in one?

Re: new- fuzzibunz or bum genious?

  • Bum Genius. I cannot seem to get Fuzzi Bunz to *not* have compression leaks, whereas I've never had a problem with BGs.

    Pockets. For me, AIOs take way too long to dry. Plus I prefer the customizable absorbency of pockets - you can stuff them with a prefold or hemp inserts instead of the inserts they come with.

  • I really want to like my fuzzibunz but I get compression leaks every.single.time. I thought it might do better with the hemp insert behind it, but it still didn't matter. She was soaked today after an hour and a half. I mean, clothes...SOAKED.

    Some people like them though. Just doesn't work for us. 

    BG's work ok. I think we're having some problems with our pockets in general. Our flip covers never ever leak, whereas our pockets do. I'm not sure why but we may end up switching our entire stash eventually.

  • I like both!

    FB are great during the day b/c they are super trim under outfits. I use BGs overnight. I prefer pockets to AIOs. 

    My favorite CDs are Blueberry and Rump-a-Rooz.

  • Bum Genius hands down. I prefer pockets, but have a variety for DH in my stash.

  • Fuzzi Bunz snaps for day time and BG aplix for overnight stuffed with hemp prefold. I never use FB overnight but never hesitate using BG with heavy wetter.
  • bumGenius, hands down.   I bought Fuzzibunz first and am glad I didn't get too many, I really didn't like them.  They have elastic in the legs and waist that you can adjust for fit, but I just found that to be an unnecessary pain.  BGs fit awesome as they grow without having to adjust elastic, plus I like the inserts much better as well.

    We have 90% pocket diapers.  I love how they work but I thought I would never get tired of stuffing them, but I did lol.  Still, I only have a couple AIOs - I like those too, but don't have enough experience with them to say whether I'd build a stash out of them or not.

  • All-in-2s are my favourite. Easy to pack in the diaper bag, and potentially less laundry. Although my son is a frequent pooper, so we still end up washing the covers a lot. I'll often use a pocket when I know we're due for a poop, and then a Grovia or Flip.

     I have a few AIOs, but they are not my favourite. It's nice to not stuff, but you often can't increase absorbency unless it also has a pocket.

  • BG's are definitely my favourite. I do have some Charlie Banana though, and like them enough, they are very similar to FB's.

    Pockets are my favourite type of diaper with fitteds being a very close second. AIO's are great too, but I only have one to go by (Freetime). I have tried two different varieties of AI2's, but just can't find the love. I have a Flip right now that I use occasionally but I just don't love it like pockets.

  • BG freetimes are definately a favorite at our house for daytime use. Overnight is goodnight heavy wetter from Kawaii. Freetimes dry quickly and the way the flaps are setup you can add a small joeybunz hemp insert in it for more absorbency if needed. I switched our entire stash over to freetimes.
    If the house ain't burned down and the baby's fed it was a successful day. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
