Cloth Diaper Review

We use a variety of pocket diapers in our house.  We chose pockets for the ease of use, and because they had the highest number "dad approved" comments.

Fuzzibuns one-size -- unique in that it doesn't have snaps, but rather elastic on the inside for size adjustments.  It is also very trim.  That's about it for this one though. Overall, I don't like this diaper and it is generally my last to use (meaning, only when I have run out of others and they're not dry yet).  It is difficult to stuff and just generally makes me nervous that it is going to leak (although it never has).

Oh Katy! -- loved the price point of this diaper. I like that the inside is microfleece, and that it can fold/close on itself.  Overall, it is a good diaper - however, I like the others better.

Booty Buns -- This diaper is VERY versatile with weights ranging from 3-45 pounds.  It goes VERY small (can fit around a marker) through potty training.  It could very easily be the only diaper you ever need!  They also give one diaper to a child in need for every one that you purchase. It comes with everything you'll need to cloth diaper your child (outside, insert, infant insert/doubler, flannel "top sheet" and a coordinating wash cloth).  They have inner gussets and I really enjoy these diapers.  The inserts can snap into the diaper and they have openings on each end for easy in and out.

BumGenius -- I was told that these would be my favorite diaper.  Many, MANY people love them.  I do agree, they're fabulous.  I do wish that they had the inner gussets, but that is about all I have to "complain" about.  I've not had a mess leak out of them even without the inner gussets.  These diapers are really wonderful.

Rump-a-rooz -- These are more trim than the Booty Buns or BumGenius.  Have inner gussets and are the most absorbent diaper I have.  The liners that come with them will hold a lot!  I use these as a first choice for my overnight diapers.  The inside is microfleece, they have double gussets. I simply think they're wonderful.  My only concern with them is that they're not quite as "big" (long?) as the others.  I worry that they won't fit as long as the others will.

That's my take on the brands that we've used :)
