bumGenius Organic One-Size All-In-One Diaper Review

Description
An organic one-size, all-in-one diaper made of a PUL outer shell, with 6 layers of organic cotton inside. It is available with either snaps or hook and loop (Velcro) closures. There are 3 rows of snaps on the shell to adjust the rise of the diaper, which makes it fit babies from 7 to 35 pounds. The snaps on the diapers match the PUL.

Cost: $24.95 USD, $28.79 Canadian

Size
One size fits 7 to 35 pounds

What we love about them

*One size fits all

*A variety of colours

*The stretchy tabs found on all bumGenius diapers makes putting the diaper on the baby and getting a good fit really easy!

*Dries faster than the bumGenius all-in-one diapers

*The cotton is soft and flexible

*There are 2 layers of cotton sewn into the shell of the diaper, then the other 4 layers are placed in the center of the diaper for extra absorbency and are attached only at the front and back of the diaper to decrease drying time.

*The trimmest one-size diaper we have seen.....and trimmer than many sized diapers (on the medium setting, we feel it is trimmer than the bumGenius medium all-in-one diaper)


What we could live without

*The cotton that is sewn into the middle of the diaper tends to take longer to dry where it is attached to the diaper (at the front and back)

*There isn't a quick dry layer between the cotton and the baby (but natural fibers are not suppose to bother the baby when wet....they haven't bothered out babies)

*When putting the diaper on the baby, you have to make sure that the cotton is tucked inside the diaper, otherwise when wet, it will wick onto your baby's clothes.

Brooke and Victoria's verdict
An awesome all-in-one diaper.....probably our favourite one right now! The fact that it is a very trim one-size diaper makes it even better. We did not use this diaper when our sons were in a small bumGenius diaper so we cannot comment on the size of this diaper compared to the small all-in-one diaper, however we think it is smaller than the medium all-in-one. This diaper would be great for parents who have more than one baby in diapers because you can use the same diaper for all the kids!

We prefer the snap closure over the hook and loop because we have had problems with the hook and loop system standing up to multiple washes (but all our problems were covered until the warranty). With the snap closure, you do not have to worry about fastening the tabs onto the laundry tabs so all you have to do it take it off your baby and put it into the diaper pail. The strechy tabs make the diapers fit really well and makes it easier to put the diaper on the baby. This diaper is usually dry after 60 minutes in the dryer on medium, but to decrease drying time, we like to hang the diapers to dry overnight, then put them in the dryer in the morning (this trick doesn't work for the bumGenius all-in-ones). We highly recommend this diaper to all parents. We each have 3 of these diapers and will be adding more to our stash for sure in the future!
