Why We Chose bumGenius Cloth Diapers

MamaNatural.com 🔅 mamanatural.com In our last video we showed you our cloth diaper setup, and people wrote in and asked us why we chose bumGenius. (See bumGenius diapers on Amazon: amzn.to/jtckc6 )
Frankly, cloth diapering is WAY more complicated than I thought. There are:
Prefolds
Flats
Fitteds
Pocket Diapers
All-in Ones
Ahh! It was a little overwhelming.
I was looking for the simplest option
I liked the fact that, with bumGenius, there was only one size to buy. That was HUGE in terms of ease and cost. And bumGenius got crazy good reviews on Amazon. amzn.to/jtckc6
We purchased the bumGenius 4.0s right as they came out, which helped us feel like we were buying cutting edge diaper technology :)
We chose to buy 24 because that was enough to let us go three days at a time before we need to do laundry.
We love our bumGenius
We started using them when Griffin was 10 days old (after meconium) and have used them just about every day now for eight months.
We do see a couple cons with bumGenius diapers
They're bulky. We kind of like this extra padding, but if you're looking for a fitted look, the one-size diapers ain't for you.
Colors aren't all that bright. Instead, they're light pastels. On the upside, they won't show through white pants or stand out in an outfit.
The diapers have snaps to adjust to three different sizes, which will take your baby from newborn right up until potty training.
Each bumGenius diaper comes with two inserts:
Newborn
One-size inserts included
We used the newborn insert for about 3 months with Griffin. Then we started using the bigger, one-size insert at night.
bumGenius one-size diapers come in two varieties
"Hook and loop" (Velcro)
Snaps
We bought half and half. At first, Mike and I both preferred the snaps version. But the velcro is pretty easy too. And the velcro are easy for grandmas and the cloth uninitiated to use, as they go on just like disposables.
Only downside to velcro is that you have to remember to attach the velcro tabs to a pad in the back of the diaper when you wash them, otherwise they'll stick to and tear up the other diapers in the washer.

Do you still recommend bum genius? I'm trying to pick out what to start with. I read your post online

[@mamanatural]

Bum Genius has always been a solid brand-very high quality. Many mamas report leaking issues with them, however. The good thing is you can try different inserts with them to see what works best for you!

@@mamanatural okay nice I didn't know you could do inserts with those ones I will keep researching thanks sooo much! We're expecting our 2nd in July a baby girl home birth. We are believers as well :)
