| Great Size for Newborns |
We have a cloth diaper service but the covers they sold us are just too big for our 7 pound newborn. We bought two of these covers to tide us over until she fits into the other covers. These Bummis have a small pocket in the front of the diaper for inserting your cloth diaper and this makes placement of the cloth easier. They are quite silky--all polyester--and wash very well. No style seems to contain all the baby poo or keep it on the diaper and not on the cover at all, but these fit well so are doing ok. The velcro tabs allow you to vary the size of the leg hole. This newborn size does fit our baby and I recommend it if your child is tiny or "normal", or just to start with. |

| There are better options... |
After having tried the Thirsties covers, Proraps and the Bummi Whisper Wraps, the Thirsties win hands down. I've found that the Bummis tend to leak more because there are no gussets around the legs and the layer of cloth that is on the inside actually seems to wick the moisture outside so I end up not only changing the diaper but also my baby's clothes (and sometimes sheets!) whenever I use them. While this may be ok during the day, it is definitely not fun at night! The cloth on the inside also stains easily with poopy diapers so reusing the covers are just not an option as they are with the Thirsties (you can just wipe down the inside and they're ready to go) which means more washing. After only about 2 months of use, the Bummis also seem more worn and old-looking. Overall, I would say--spend your money on another cover. For the same cost, who needs a cover that makes it harder, not easier, to cloth diaper? |
