Reviewed by Beth on Friday 03 September, 2010I just ordered 4 of these diapers and was wondering, can I wash organic cotton bum genius diapers and bum genius microfiber diapers together, or should I wash them separately? Rating:  [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Christine on Sunday 15 August, 2010 I have used this diaper for about 2 months. I mostly got it because my 20 month old is starting to pull off the velcro tabs with my BG AIO and with his covers and prefolds. He is a heavy wetter so sometimes I add an insert or extra indian prefold inside. It works great, I have no trouble with leaking or smellsand the snaps are keeping him from pulling them off. I have to say I didn't realize the constuction of the diaper until i got it. It is extremely difficult to get the poop off even with the sprayer. I think I will just sew the liners together myself. It would work much better if it was just one piece completely sewed in or only attached at one end. My son poops at least twice a day so clean up ease is pretty important for me. I would love to purchase more but not until they adjust the design. It just doesn't work for us. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Annaliza on Monday 09 August, 2010 These diapers are FANTASTIC! On top of that the customer service staff is phenomenal... Thank you guys for all the help you provided me.
Im new to cloth diapering and so far these have made my life a breeze when it comes to cloth diapering. I use Thirsties Pre-Wash and Super Wash to clean them and they dont smell or have any stains! I do wash every day. I also use Bumgenius' Odor Remover and it works great! Im very happy to use this product on my children. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by JoAnn on Friday 30 July, 2010 I have tried the various types of cloth diapers on the market since my daughter was born. We have tried g-diapers, green mountain, happy heiny, etc. She's 18 months and I still haven't been able to find anything that I am completely happy with. After actively researching numerous reviews, I finally tried these diapers. I have to say they blow all the other brands away! I have never been happier and just wish someone had told me about them from the beginning. They are super absorbant and hold everything in . . . even those feared blowouts! The snaps are amazing and I can sleep easy knowing that my daughter isn't pulling her velcroe diapers off. They are so soft and snug . . . my daughter has no trouble moving comfortably in them! We are about to welcome our next bundle of joy and I plan on buying as many of these as I can. Based on the reviews I read, I will attempt to comment on some of the negative comments I found. 1) Drying Time: Yes, they do take longer to dry, but you can just set them out for a while after a regular drying cycle and they dry pretty quick. A small price to pay for the super absorbancy. 2) Staining: Ok, let's be realistic . . . it's a diaper. It is going to stain on the inside. I haven't found one yet that doesn't. I'm just happy that it works and holds everything in! 3) Leakage: I haven't noticed this at all . . . unlike every other brand I have tried. 4) Price: Ok, they are a little pricey . . . think $6 more than the average cloth diaper. However, I have sunk hundreds of dollars into the "wrong" diaper and would have spent hundreds less if I had just known about these from the beginning. 5) Difficulty Cleaning BM's Due To Layers: We have a diaper sprayer connected to our toilet, so we always use this to clean BM diapers. My personal feeling is that these diapers are no more difficult to clean than others. I appreciate that there are no pocket cloth parts to pull out and clean as well or any plastic inserts to wash. I hope this review is helpful to any of you who still have doubts or questions concerning the organic bumgenius diapers. I honeslty haven't found a single negative thing to say about them . . . I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or family . . . even my sister-in-law who has her own "green" baby company!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Chassidy on Wednesday 21 July, 2010 I love these diapers! I originally started with the bumGenius! 3.0 OS. They are great, but I really didn't like how much time it took stuffing and unstuffing the diapers for laundering. The velcro on the 3.0s is a bit of a pain because you have to remember to tab them or you have a big mess when you pull them out of the dryer. The velcro also wears out and you have to replace them, which is a bit of a pain, BUT not with these! You simply throw them in the wash. No stuffing, no velcro, they are great! They do take a bit longer to dry, but well worth the time for me. I wouldn't use anything else! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jennifer on Tuesday 20 July, 2010 I have already written a review on these diapers and my only complaint had to do with one diaper that one of my diapers snaps came off but other than that I was very pleased. I am now pleased to say that bumgenius replaced the diaper for me all together and that wasn't even with any formal complaint at all just from them reading my review. They also did all of it in such a timely fashion I was amazed (it just took me forever to write an update on it). Anyways I am so beyond pleased with these diapers and I absolutely would not give them up for the world. I have only had two diapers and that including the first one to have any problems and both were with the snaps but I've now been using them 9 months and they are holding up really well seeing how I only have a dozen. If your looking for an awesome cloth diaper these are IT!!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Karen on Tuesday 13 July, 2010 I am so glad I tried these. After diapering my one year twins with disposable diapers, I was tired of literally throwing money in the garbage, not to mention what I was doing to the environment. I wanted to try cloth diapering despite my families' discouragement. I have been using these for almost a month now, and I have been pleased. I just wish that I would have switched sooner.

Reviewed by Amy on Tuesday 06 July, 2010 I love these diapers. My daughter is now 7 months, and they are working great. Yes, they do take a bit long to dry (for me 120min). I have 14 diapers right now, and when I'm down to 3 left I start to wash them. So far only one snap has broken and CB replaced that diaper. Rating:  [2 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Janine on Tuesday 06 July, 2010 HOLES, HOLES, HOLES !!!! Buyer beware as my diapers started to rip holes around the elastic and where the insert is sewn in. These diapers were still in excellent condition and only used a few months. None of my mom made diapers have this issue. I have talked to two other people personally who have gone through the same issue. CB has a good replacement plan if you buy through them. I bought mine locally(new), and did not think to save a receipt, as I expected them to last. I was not able to return them and had to toss them in the trash. Great concept and the diaper works well without the holes. The organic material does stain and has an issue with retaining smells though. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Randie on Wednesday 30 June, 2010 These dipes are amazing! The ONLY drawback for me is that it is a pain in the neck to spray out messy poo. I wish so much that the liner snapped in and was loose in the front. Now that I said that though let me rave...
1. SUPER easy! Anyone that cares for my son can use these without instruction even.
2. VERY trim which, trust me, is a rarity in cding. They are literally almost as trim as a sposie. This also means they fit nicely in a diaper bag!
3. Super absorbent! I don't use them overnight (we use the flip with the organic cotton insert) but I haven't had a leak yet! Just make sure you prep properly.
4. SNAPS! No annoying aplix to make them all ratty.
Thank you cotton babies for making a great dipe!

Reviewed by Margaret on Tuesday 29 June, 2010 Besides the review I just wrote about using these on my 15 month old son, I wanted to mention that I use these at night on my 3 year old daughter. She is tall and skinny but they still fit great (versus my tall but very chubby son)! She even pulls them up and down to go potty. As soon as we started using these on her at night instead of disposable pull ups, she started to wake up dry more often and at night to use the potty. The instant feedback that cloth gives is instrumental in potty training! So another 5 stars for the fact that they fit and work for my 3 year old daughter! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Margaret on Tuesday 29 June, 2010 I have been using these diapers EXCLUSIVELY for over 1 full year. I began using them when my son was 2 months old and he is now 15 months old. They are the absolute best diapers I have ever used. (For comparison, I cloth diapered my daughter with multiple pocket brands, fitteds, and prefolds. For better or worse, I know diapers!) This diaper is incredible and here's why: It is the trimmest, most absorbent, easiest to use, best fitting diaper on the market! 1) it holds a TON of pee and contains even the messiest poop. I have never seen a diaper hold this much pee. I recently started using this diaper overnight with a fleece topped hemp doubler and it performs beautifully. And during the day I never ever get leaks. 2)The organic cotton is so soft and wonderful. I hated microfiber due to compression leaking. Rashes are exceedingly rare and not diaper related. If I know he will be in it for awhile, then I might add a fleece liner for extra comfort. The cotton washes beautifully. I have never had stink or ammonia problems (common with microfiber) 3) One size!! He went to the medium size at 4 months and is still in it now. 4) snap closures!! The snaps fit awesome and always have. I love that there is no velcro to have to remember to close or get ratty over time. The snaps look the same now as they did a year ago. 5) EASY!!! No stuffing and since no velcro, the diaper is literally off the bum and straight into the pail and then straight out of the wash. Most poo rolls into the toilet. Anything really bad I use a diaper sprayer on, but that is only a few times a week. 6)They hold up extremely well. Over the past 13 months, each diaper has been washed 2-3 times a week on a SANITARY cycle in my HE washer with Tide HE powder. Then I dry on medium for 1.5 hours. That's a lot of very very hot water and tumbling in the dryer and they still look as good as ever. I see virtually no wear on them, extremely minor pilling (if any), and very minor staining. (Ebf poo would stain but would always sun out - just put wet, clean diapers in the sun and the stains completely faded away). Now the minor staining I have are on diapers that got forgotten in the diaper bag and washed later than they should have been. But the vast majority of mine look brand new. 7)Trim, trim trim!!!! It is usually easier to go up a size with onesies, but otherwise, all clothes fit true to size on him. They are so trim people who hold him have no idea he is in a cloth diaper. If you've made it this far in my review, congratulations and have I convinced you? I have probably tried 20 different diapers and after 13 months with these, I couldn't be more pleased. As for prepping, I think they really need 10 washes to be fully prepped. And when the diaper arrives unprepped, don't be scared by the long loop of cotton. It shrinks to the length of the diaper (in the large size) and needs very minor folding in the medium and small sizes. My babysitters and the nursery at church have all used these diapers (properly) when I haven't even given instructions, but just left them. They are so easy I don't even think to mention it anymore.

Reviewed by Lauren on Wednesday 23 June, 2010 This has got to be the easiest diaper for a cloth newbie or nervous dad/babysitter! It's trim and cute, and does a great job absorbing even newborn breast-fed explosions! I found that since my 8 month old is a heavy wetter at times, I can lay a small booster in the diaper. I'd prefer the inner to be loose on one end to make drying faster and make it easier to add a booster as well. Great diaper though! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Megan on Friday 18 June, 2010 Hi!! These are my almost exclusive diaper! I see that a lot of people dislike drying time, and drying in the dryer is so rough on these diapers, so I have a suggestion! Instead of sewing the soaker in on the front, just let it hang loose! I have removed the seams on the fronts of the soaker on all of my out of warranty diapers (as it will void the warranty!), and it has really cut down drying time! And I can dry outside without having to put in the dryer at all! I think it will also make it easier once I have baby due in September, as it will make it easier to fold down for smaller sizes. Hope you take the suggestion for these (almost) perfect diapers! Thanks for all of your great products! Oh, I use these on 2 year old twin boys. :) Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Francesca on Friday 11 June, 2010 These diapers are fantastic! I started using them on my daughter when she was about 7 weeks old. She had terrible diaper rash as a newborn, and she was only 6 1/2 lb, so I put off using cloth until she was big enough and her bottom healed. Since using them, her diaper rash hasn't been back, poo blow-outs no longer occur, and we could not be happier about how much money we've saved by going with cloth. My stash consists of the Organic All-In-Ones and the Flip Organic diapers. The Flip is a great diaper, but my husband and I like these better. Reasons: I think the Organic All-in-One is slightly trimmer than the Flip Organic (though I've read reviews that say the opposite), and it's more user-friendly. To get my husband on board with cloth-diapering, I knew I'd have to find a diaper that is easy to use. We're lazy I guess, but these diapers totally fit the bill! They grow with your baby, there are no inserts to mess with, and the washing process is easy. Some reviews I read said that the drying time is long, but if you just throw in a towel along with the diapers in the dryer, the diapers will dry in one cycle.
I seriously love these diapers! I couldn't rate them more highly. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jessica on Friday 11 June, 2010 I love these diapers. My baby is 9weeks and 15 1/2 lbs. We have been using these as well as pre-folds and pocket inserts but the BG are my favorite. The only drawback is the time to dry, as others have mentioned but the more diapers I accumulate the less a problem. I find the wash very well but I hand wash all my diapers. Any stain there is comes right out in the sun and the organic material is wonderful. I also prefer the snaps to the velcro and the diaper fit is perfect and slim on my very chubby baby. I do hear from friends that snaps are more difficult to use when baby is older and squirming. Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Abby on Tuesday 01 June, 2010 I love the concept of an organic all in one. However, these things leak with our small baby. They stink of urine even though our prefolds smell fresh as a daisy. They take hours to dry in the dryer. Just not what you want in a diaper! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Amy on Monday 31 May, 2010 These diapers are great. My 14-month-old has been wearing them for months now, and we've never had a leak. I love that these are organic cotton -- that's hard to find in an all-in-one.
For people who have stain trouble...so what? I haven't even bothered trying to sun/bleach mine because it's a diaper. Just because it's stained doesn't mean it's dirty! No one sees the inside, anyway.
Pros:
1. Snap closure is easy to use, durable, and doesn't require any special treatment for washing like velcro.
2. Very trim. Fit is great.
3. Absorbent!
Cons:
1. Drying time is long, but I find that it's easy to hang dry for a bit or overnight (indoors is fine) and then toss 'em in the dryer. Again, I do not stress over this!
2. You sometimes need to make sure there's no cotton from the inside showing around the legs -- if the leg binding is rolled out at all, it'll wick. This is the reason I give these a 4 instead of a 5, but it's not a big deal at all. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Mary on Wednesday 26 May, 2010 These are my most reliable go to diaper. I have been cd'ing for about a year and have 3 sons in diapers (1 in diapers at nap/night, 2 full time) These are fantastic. They are easy to use and fit all the boys, from 13 lbs to 34 lbs with no leaks. I change them about every 3 hours during the day. I will say you need to be careful to have them turned inside properly. If any of the inside is showing, they do leak. They are also the only cloth diapers my babysitters seem to be able to use w/o trouble. They do stain, its true. But lay them in the sun and don't stress. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Paula on Thursday 20 May, 2010 We own 26 ... love them ... can't praise them enough. I will admit that they do take a very long time to dry because of all the layers of material on the inside but then again, I fortunately have lots of diapers in rotation ... so while I hang dry them (only put them in the dryer when I was prepping them), we always have something else to use ... not a problem ... I wash them in the morning and by the evening and often the following morning (depending on how warm and dry it is outside), they're dry ... but again, we have many diapers in rotation so no problem (including 3.0s, kissaluvs, and prefolds). As for the snaps ... haven't had a problem there either ... overall, I'm having an awesome experience with them ... love em Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Megan on Tuesday 04 May, 2010 I am back to rewrite my review! I still love these! i bought about 28 used and 6 new last fall. the new ones i am having to return because of fabric issues, but cb customer service is amazing!!!! For those with wetness issues, purchase the cottonbabies stay dry doubler! we use them for nap and night time to keep my sensitive boys dry! i also use them in combination with prefolds for another ALL NIGHT dry solution! i am anxious to use these on my baby girl when she makes her arrival in september. the drying time on these is long, but if your warranty is already up, simply separate one seam to cut down drying time. there's a tutorial online. i haven't done this as it will void the warranty. these are by far my favorite diapers, and once we got past the wetness issue, these are an A+ in my book!!!
Seriously! get some stay dry doublers! you will not be sorry! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jennifer on Friday 16 April, 2010 Pros: very trim, contains explosive poo, cute, washes up well, easy for daddy to use.
Cons: not stay dry so baby will have wetness against his/her skin, takes FOREVER to dry.
I use the bg organic during the day when I change my daughter more frequently as it's not a stay dry diaper and she would wake up due to wetness at night. So far it works well for my 2.5 month old, but I wonder if it will leak when she's older and has more urine output. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kristine on Thursday 08 April, 2010 I bought the bum genius all in one velcro with the inserts. I really liked those diapers, however I decided to get diapers with the snaps because the velco was getting caught on my daughter's clothing and falling off (about a year and a half later.) These All in one snap diapers initially take longer to dry, so if it weren't for already having a set of diapers to alternate between I would be very disappointed. It takes about a half a day for the diapers to dry after drying in the dryer for 60 mins now and I have had them for about 4 months. The thing with these diapers that is turning out to be very disappointing is the snaps. When I recieved the diapers, one diaper already had a snap broken on it. Cotton Babies replaced the diaper for me no problem. In a recent diaper change, another snap has broken off. I am not sure if they will replace it or not. I will probably write another review in a year for how the snaps have held up. One more thing that I really like about the diapers in comparison to the velcro w/ inserts is that I do not have to pull out a soaking wet insert anymore. I change the diaper and place it in a the pail. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Angela on Friday 02 April, 2010 I have now had 6 of these in white for well over a year and I love them. I wish I had gotten the pretty colors instead of white but for the next baby I definitely will. I used these from newborn up until now, my son is 15 months and 27 lbs, the fit is fantastic! They are super trim and absorbent. I find them very convenient, even though they take almost 2 dryer cycles to dry. I use mostly covers with folded up flats laid inside since I only have six of these, I can't justify buying more of these right now because my son is almost potty trained, but as soon as I get pregnant, I will definitely be ordering more!
Never experienced any irritation with these, but I haven't tried them at night, and usually he wears the same diaper for 2-4 hours. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Rebecca on Wednesday 24 March, 2010 love that its organic so it doesnt have that nasty smell that the originals end up with and is easy to use on the go since you dont have to stuff them. my husband swears by these but i prefer the organic flips. cons to this diaper is that its not as absorbent (4 hours max imo) and the snaps either break easily or pull through) the warranty is nice though, i'm getting 8 replacements with no fuss for broken snaps. very small/thin diaper so this will probably work best for small babies. does take longer to dry. all in all a decent diaper Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Alicia on Sunday 14 March, 2010 Not as good as the regular one size. Wouldnt use at night wont keep in the urine. Gives baby diaper rash because the fabric is close to bum. Do like that they have snaps. If they would just put the snaps on the others!! Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jodie on Monday 08 March, 2010 I bought this diaper to try because it was organic and my son was sensitive to the suadecloth inner of the 3.0's that I used with my daughter. Love the trim fit, but after the first 10 uses was in absolute HATE with this diaper. It took 2 hrs to dry in the dryer on high (& I still had to use a blowdryer to get parts of it dry). My daughter wore it for about 6 nights while we were waiting for her big girl pull-ups after selling her 3.0's & developed an awful blistering rash on her bum cheeks. I also had major ammonia stink in the mornings. My conclusion - the construction of these diapers with sewing down the liner on both ends was not well thought out. It is very secure but it prevents them from washing well (it's hard for the soap to clean through all the layers because they are sewn down on each end (hence the stink & the rash) & takes forever to dry. That all being said - after spending so much on a diaper, I was determined to give it a good go. I got out my trusty stitch ripper and took out all but one seam securing the liner onto the diaper. The liner is now able to wash & dry well. After doing this & noting the huge improvement, I'm considering buying more for my son (with stitch ripper in hand). I realize this likely voids the warrenty but for those who have loved the 3.0's but want an organic option - it's something to consider. Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Rachel on Friday 05 March, 2010 I have a 2 month old daughter and have been using bumGenius since she was about 2 weeks old. I have mostly the bumGenius 3.0 one size and love them. We also purchased 3 organic one size and haven't been as happy with them. They tend to leak more often - to keep them from leaking (and this isn't foolproof), I have to ensure that every piece of the cotton part of the diaper is tucked inside. If even a tiny piece is showing, it wicks the moisture out. I won't put them on her when we're going out or overnight...too risky. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Leah on Wednesday 24 February, 2010 I purchased these for my daughter and have been using them exclusively since she was about 6 weeks old. She was pretty small when she was first born at 6 pounds 5 ounces and these wouldn't have worked. even when she was over the recommended weight they would leak pee. It wasn't until she was about 9 pounds or so that they really fit correctly.
Breastfed poo comes out easily in the sun as others have already mentioned in their reviews. Now that we are starting solids at 6 months the stains are a bit tougher. The sun trick stopped working on some of her poo stains. However, after reading some reviews on other CDing sites I tried OxyClean (well, the generic Kroger brand) and it worked GREAT! My diapers look great and took every stain away. The recommendation was to use "baby OxyClean" but I couldn't find it anywhere. If you have stained BG organic 3.0's try OxyClean to get those tough stains out for good! Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Alicia on Thursday 18 February, 2010 These may work well for some, but I never figured them out and it may have been my wash routine but I always got rashes with them. I opted for pockets with fleece instead. The quality on these is the best though - I wish they had worked for me! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jade on Saturday 13 February, 2010 I have been using these for about a month and I must say that they are my absolute favorite! They are so absorbent and trim.
I, however, have not had any problems with the length of time it takes them to dry. It takes about an hour on the medium setting for us. For the first half I "flip" the insert inside-out so it's essentially on the front side of the shell... then for the second half I flip it back to normal and continue to dry. They come out ready to use!
I have had a few stain issues but I am hoping that the sun will solve that problem. We have not had any rash issues (unlike with the BG AIO/suedecloth) nor have we ever had a leak.
Overall this is a great diaper... very much loved! I highly recommend it. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Sarah on Wednesday 10 February, 2010 I love these diapers, although they are too expensive to use exclusively. I love not having to stuff diapers, but these do take a while to dry- i dry on low with my bum genius inserts, then hang dry for a couple hours. These are great for breast feed poo, my son has never leaked out of them. We haven't tried them for a long overnight stretch yet, but I have no complaints so far! The snaps are a bit difficult for my husband to use (but he is easily confused by cloth diapers). And it is essential that you check to make sure all the cotton parts of the diaper are folded in. If these were a little cheaper, they would be all i use! Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jessica on Wednesday 10 February, 2010 First I have to say that I love the snaps even though I had 2 break on me. My little guy could take off the velcro too easily. I really like that they are organic vut they keep the moisture right up against the skin. You could add a fleece insert but then its not organic next to little one's skin...The downside of these is they stain very badly. My BM 3.0 & fitted AIO have no stains and I have been using them for a year and a half. The oganics are stained and have been using them for 2 months. Hopefully Cottonbabies will still take back the broken ones even though they have staining. We have no sun in Michigan right now so I can't lay them outside. I will when the weather gets warmer though. All in all not a bad diaper. If I could change it I would have some of these in my stash but not all of them. Oh, they are pretty trim though which is nice. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Amy on Monday 08 February, 2010 Great diapers. I got a bunch of these as seconds back in October and these are my favorite diapers. I also had a few back when my son was smaller, i.e. on the smallest setting, and I really didn't care for them at that point--the smallest setting does have that weird bump from the soaker bunching up, and they left red marks on his waist. Once he moved up to the medium setting they fit SO much better--the soaker lays nice and no more red marks. Washing will always be trial and error--they do get stinky if you never bleach them or don't use enough detergent. The cotton is also nicer than the suedecloth diapers because in my experience the cotton can handle a little "CD Safe" diaper rash cream (I won't ever use it on the suedecloth again b/c I got major repelling--but not with these, it washed out just fine). Cotton is just easier to wash and get clean. I currently use fleece liners in these to keep my son's skin dry, plus it makes poop clean up easier and keeps stains off the cotton. I think my stash is complete for now, but when I need more (#2 is on the way!) these will be what I buy. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Dustin on Sunday 31 January, 2010 We have been using the bumGenius 3.0s for a year and a half now and love them! We decided to try a few of these organics to see how we liked the snaps. Love the snaps! They will last a lot longer than the velcro on our others. However, the organics don't wic the moisture away from our baby's bum so he stays wet and I like the insert system better. These take much longer to dry plus they aren't near as soft on the bum as the original 3.0. Please put snaps on the original 3.0s!!! Rating:  [1 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Shane on Saturday 30 January, 2010 After much research and a large investment in 30 organics, I am sorry to say that I do not recommend these cd's. We have been using them for 6 months and there are only a few of these diapers left that do not have a bm stain. The others have no stains because they have been lucky enough to avoid the poo. We tried bleach, the sun, the sun some more, oxyclean, etc. and the stains won't come out. We followed the washing directions exactly as stated by cotton babies from day one too. We have one bg 3.0 that has no staining issues, but the organics do for some reason. At this point, we feel like we've wasted hundreds of dollars. I searched around online today and read other reviews and posts about this problem with the organics. I hope to save other people from organic stain of shame! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by stacie on Saturday 30 January, 2010 I just bought a dozen a few weeks ago. I have been waiting for my 3mo old DD to get big enough for a OS. We used prefolds and covers in the beginning but I couldnt wait to try some AIO's. I researched a lot!!! read reviews... I made the perfect decision for our family. My husband does full time parenting while I travel and I just knew that laudry tabs and inserts would be too overwhelming. I wanted to make this easy.......And they are!!! They look and feel great. absorbant. trim. I love the snaps!!!! and if you snap it together inside out and wrap the cotton around the diaper it makes a loop that completely eliminates that racket that all those snaps make in the dryer.

Reviewed by Courtenay on Thursday 21 January, 2010 I purchased several of the organic bumgenius, and when using them my daughter got a really bad rash and needed to wear disposables and have rash cream for a couple of weeks to heal. Cotton babies however has wonderful service and has agreed to exchange my organic diapers for the regular 3.0 microfiber diapers, we haven't had a problem with those. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Casey on Tuesday 12 January, 2010 I love these diapers! I am new to cloth diapering. I have purchased a few styles and found these to be the best. They are very absorbent. So far I have had no leaks!
I love the organic fabric. The pictures do not do them justice. They are very soft. The snaps are great. I am not a fan of velcro. It rub on his skin and makes him all red. So these snaps are great. My favorite style diaper is an all in two. This diaper is a cross over in my opinion. The layers are on the outside and not stuck inside the diaper. The absorbent layers are sewn at the ends. This is great because you don't have to put it together after it comes out of the dryer. They do take more time in the dryer but I think it is a fair trade off for all the soft absorbent layers. To get them to dry faster I suggest to fold the pul outer layer to the inside and wrap the layers around the outside. These are worth the money! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Megan on Monday 11 January, 2010 These are by far the best diaper I have used! I have tried the 3.0s, and after a few months had to switch to another type of diaper because the velcro stopped working and the suedecloth caused a rash in my babies. After using various pockets, I decided to simplify to aios. These are perfect! I plan on ttc soon, and I'm not sure my twin boys will be pl'd by then, so these will be great for the new baby(ies) and the twins! The only problem I've had is the wetness issues. My twins have awful reactions to any wetness feeling. I recently started using the cottonbabies stay dry doubler, and it makes it a perfect combo for us! Trim (my boys are heavy wetters, and pockets have to be stuffed so full that their pants won't fit, but these are super absorbent without all the fluff!), reliable, and will last (snaps)! Thank you bg! Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jesse on Thursday 07 January, 2010 I ordered these to compare them with the bumgenius 3.0- specifically snaps versus velcro. I was surprised when these showed up and had velcro! The packing they came in says snaps and the picture has snaps- I don't understand. Just wanted to let people know theirs may arrive with velcro also. Haven't had a chance to use them yet so can't speak to other factors. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]

Reviewed by Alicia on Wednesday 06 January, 2010 I wanted to improve my earlier review (see below) to mention that Cotton Babies went out of their way to replace my faulty snap diapers. Love using them, so that's great! However,this still isn't my fave diaper because it kept contributing to diaper rash, unlike the fleece diapers I have. Others love them though! So it is maybe just how I use them. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Rebecca on Monday 04 January, 2010 These diapers are pretty good; they have their strengths, and I don't regret purchasing them. They are very absorbent once they have been prewashed at least 6 times. Also, they really do contain some explosive BF poo that would have been a massive blowout with disposables or other cloth systems. We've never had leaks with these diapers, and we have a heavy wetter with explosive poo. Additionally, it is wonderful not to have to stuff pockets. This is especially important to my husband, and these are his favorite diapers. The downside is that my baby happens to be particularly sensitive to being wet, and she can tell when she's wet with these cotton diapers. She can't even make it through a nap with these, much less through the night. She wakes up screaming because she's wet. So we had to buy the BG 3.0s for naps and overnight. Though it's a pain to stuff the pockets, it's much more preferable than her waking up every half hour with a wet diaper, which is what she does with the organic cotton. I also am not a huge fan of the snaps; I like the old aplix ones better. The snaps are harder to get on a squirming baby, and they are less adjustable. Rating: [1 of 5 Stars!]

I love cloth diapering and I love my Bum Genius All-in-Ones. HOWEVER, I hate my Bum Genius Organic All-in-Ones. I cloth diaper with both and I wish that I had never bought the organic version. It is not worth the extra money or the organic cotton.
They take twice as long to dry. They have BM stains that I cannot get rid of, even in the sun! It is more difficult to spray BM off of them beccause of all the layers. The elastic legs are not as good as the regular Bum Genius All-in-Ones.

Reviewed by Hannah on Friday 18 December, 2009 I am kind of new to CDing. I love the natural, cotton layers inside this diaper. It fits both my 9 week old and 2 year old. The only drawbacks are that they take longer to line dry than my pocket diapers, two days (I use a folding, metal rack in a spare bedroom), and they don't hold as much urine as a stuffable pocket diaper. Due to this fact, I will not use these at night (again, that is) as they leak. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Emily on Tuesday 15 December, 2009 I am thrilled with these diapers! I bought 27 and have used them for almost 5 months now. I've only had 2-3 leaks and even use them overnight. They do take a while to dry but I have discovered that they dry pretty fast on a rack placed over my heating vent. Also, in the summer, stains will fade and/or disappear with sunlight. They are expensive but the extra cost for organic cotton and a true AIO (no stuffing or snapping in liners) was worth it!! I haven't had any cleaning issues like some of the other reviews mentioned since breast-fed baby poo can go straight into the washer. I plan on using flushable liners when we switch to solid food.

Reviewed by Jennifer on Sunday 13 December, 2009 I absolutely love the bum genius organic all in one one size. I like these better than my bum genius one size with velcro. I chose the snaps this time and it was well worth the extra money. I have only one issue one of my snaps broke on the tab and so I can't use that diaper. However, this diaper happens to be the only one I have a slight stain that is barely visable so I can't send it back to get fixed. I really don't even mind paying for it. I just want to know how to fix it. Other than that I love them. I am going to buy more very soon I hope. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by jannea on Tuesday 08 December, 2009 I have 6 of the "velcro" version... First of all, I love this diaper. It is organic cotton and a one size AIO. What else would one want?! Well, I learned after using them a while now ( 2 months ) on my new born that yes they take a long time to dry. I usually put them on 2 dryer cycles on medium heat OR hang dry in full sun all day and leave on overnight and into morning. I do not have enough diapers in my stash to wait for that! The only other complaint I have is that the velcro closure sucks. I already know that Cotton Babies no longer even has any to sell due to the way better version with snaps. So I wish I had the snaps. Oh well. I also have a bunch of Fuzzi Bunz in my stash and my husband seems to always grab for these instead due to the ease of use with the velcro and he likes that we do not have to stuff them. I really like the fun colors too. All-in-all a great diaper and when hung in the sun the BF poop stains disappear. Awesome! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jenny on Sunday 06 December, 2009 The main difference between these and the BumGenius 3.0 pocket diapers for me is the drying time. The Organic One-Size takes much longer to dry if you use it as-is, because the liner is sewn to the fabric creating thickness that takes up to 24 hours to fully dry. However, I have fixed this issue by ripping out the attachment at one end of the liner. I have a blog post with pictures here, if anyone else is interested in doing this:

Reviewed by Julia on Sunday 22 November, 2009 I wrote a review a while ago. We still love these diapers for the following reasons: TRIM - they fit like a disposable. SNAPS - son cannot get them off and they stay up better than the velcro. COTTON - wash out well - absolutely no odor in 8 months of use. SIMPLE WASHING - we use Hot wash and double cold rinse and are fine (need to use cold wash first to help keep stains at bay but we don't care about stains). and I need to add our DRY TIME is only 70 minutes on Medium Heat - that is not too long in our opinion - turn it on and come back when it's done :) I wish they weren't so expensive BUT half of these and half Flip and you've got an amazing system. Our only problem is that I'm concerned they won't fit when my son reaches 30 pounds. We'll see. The flip accomodate bigger babies so we may have to buy one more Flip day pack in a few months.

Reviewed by Richard on Tuesday 27 October, 2009 Ok, so here is my final opinion of these diapers. I have gone from loving them, to finding them slightly annoying, to really strongly disliking them. I am only not giving them one star because there are some good qualities to them.
Pros:
SNAPS-This was my reason for buying these diapers instead of the OS 3.0.
Easy to use-Very easy to use, as it is an AIO.
One Size-This is nice as you do not have to keep buying.
Lack of stink-Never had a stink problem with these. (I have with the 3.0s... fixable, but a pain)
Cons:
Drying time-These take at least two cycles to dry. Not good for the environment OR my electric bill, and in Seattle, drying outside is impossible 8 months of the year. In our house it is impossible as we have a cat that thinks hanging laundry is her toy.
Staining-They stain extremely easy, which then voids the warranty.
Rashes-These gave my son blistered rashes. In the four months we used them, the only rash free time was in disposables. I thought it was because I could use cream, come to find out now that we are using Flip that it was the diapers, and this is a fairly common problem. Now I feel like crap for making my baby endure that.
Hard to clean-They are not hard to was in the washer. The hard part is trying to get pasty poo out of all the layers. Do not get me started on this, as it is very aggravating to me. Would not be a problem if my son ever had non-peanut butter type poo, so might not be as much of a problem for others.
How they hold up-Washing to the manufacture's suggestions, after using four months only, they are already starting to show wear in the fabric around the leg elastic, and the elastic around the legs is not so great anymore. Because of the stains, CB will do nothing about it.
Cost: I understand they are organic, I understand they are an AIO, and I understand they are one size. Still, they are expensive. Paid $265 for 12 that I was unable to use even four months. With disposables, we paid $45 a month for Huggies at Costco. Not really worth the investment, especially with how they hold up. Feel like I just threw away $22 a month for four months, not to mention all the added water/electricity for washing them.
We are switching to Flip and OS 3.0s. Until CB is able to put snaps on the 3.0s, I will use them until the elastic wears out then have a WAHM put snaps on for me. I am sad I have to go this route, as I really wanted to love these diapers. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Anne on Tuesday 27 October, 2009 Well my initial choice of diaper was the right one. I originally bought 12 of these in the aplix when my daughter was born due to their ease of use, natural fibers and one size feature. I didn’t have time to sell and buy the next size up all the time. After struggles with rashes I thought she was sensitive to pul and sold them. I moved on to fitteds and covers and solved the rash problem (not the pul) btw. After about 9 months of that I tried these again only in the snap version. Oh what bliss!!! No more inserts to snap in/out and trying to remember to pack covers and an extra cover and snappies for my snappiable fitteds. It was draining I tell you! I am making the switch back to a stash of the bum genius organics and not looking back. They are so easy to change and simple for grandparents and daycare to master!! They do take a bit longer to dry but I have found putting in 1-2 dry towels in the dryer with them takes a lot of time off. They dry the same amount of time as my fitteds now. Oh and they are trimmer than any other diaper I used. Love them!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kim on Thursday 22 October, 2009 I love these diapers! I use a bio-degradable liner and have no problems with removing solid waste. They wash up really nicely and I have no problems with stains either. We've been using them for 4 months now and have noticed that when we do use a disposable occasionally that the disposable causes her irritation. The bumGenius keeps her drier and a lot more comfortable. I recommend these all the time to new mothers! Very easy and convenient. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Richard on Thursday 08 October, 2009 I have been using these diapers for about five months now, and in many ways I really love them, but when it comes down to it, they are a pain. Because the lining on the inside is in layers, it is impossible to get poo off of it without touching everything. We have a sprayer, which is the only reason I can get them clean in the first place. I have to first spray the worst off the top, then spray between the back of the lining and the waterproof cover, then I have to spay between the two pieces of lining. I am pregnant again, and let me tell you, standing stooped over my toilet that long KILLS my back.
My other major complaint is how easily they stain. I am VERY picky about getting them clean before I put them in the pail, and I wash them every other day. I also have a couple of the regular one size bumGenius that I use at night (another downfall of the organic diapers-they do NOT hold up at night, even when they do not wet too much), and despite the fact that these too have been pooed in on more then a few occasions, they are stain free while every organic diaper I own is stained. This is frustrating, because now if something happens to them like the elastic starts to wear out within the one year warranty, I cannot get them replaced. (They will not replace or fix them if they have stains)
I think for the higher price these should be better diapers. I only went this route because they have the snaps, which is something I absolutely LOVE. I also enjoy not stuffing them. I just wish that they would replace them if the elastic or some other part goes bad with stains. I don't think a stain being on the diaper should void the warranty on a completely different part of the diaper.
With all of that said, we are trying the new "flip" diapers when they ship out on the 31st. I have high hopes for these diapers as they seem to hold the best of both worlds for me, so hopefully they will meet my expectations, unlike the organic bumGenius diapers. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Johanna on Friday 02 October, 2009 These are pretty good diapers. I love that they're organic, and the snaps are fantastic! They have worn well so far (about four months), although one of them did tear away from the liner and now has a big whole. My only complaint is that there is no way these would fit my son until 35 pounds. He is 25 now, and they are seeming to be getting tight already...a little too low in front and in back. For younger kids though, they are great. We don't use these overnight, but during the day, we've had no trouble with leaks. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by LaShaunda on Thursday 03 September, 2009 Love the colors, quality and look of the diaper! The layers aren't a problem for me. I feel like they weren't a waste or a bad buy...However, I find that the rise is somewhat short. My daughter is only 8 months and they wear like a pair of low-rider "thong" bearing jeans...not a fan. I wish that they were bigger and that they had placed the snaps differently... the front top of the diaper never seems to fit her well. She is a porker (23 lbs), so maybe they work better for thinner, smaller babies. I would recommend for newborn or smaller babies. I am curious to see how much longer that we will make it in them...

Reviewed by Dawn on Saturday 15 August, 2009 This is a wonderful product. I had an issue with one diaper with a broken snap, and it was promptly replaced. These are a bit pricey, but are worth the money. I am a mom of two, and used only disposables the 1st time around, and my poor baby had horrible diaper rash.
This time around I am using these diapers, and only use disposables on rare occasions. I did the math and found that by the time my daughter is potty trained I will have saved over 1,500 in diapers alone, not to mention the extra money I pay for the garbage stickers, wipes, etc.
these require special laundry detergent, that is affordable, and a little bit goes a long way. I have been using these diapers for nearly 2 months now, and still have plenty of detergent.
There is only the occasional leak (less often than disposables) usually at night time when she sleeps a long stretch.
I feel good about generating less garbage, and my daughter has no diaper rash.
these diapers work very well.
If you want to use these diapers, please follow the manufacturers washing directions, or they will not work as well.
I read several of these reviews prior to purchasing these diapers, and saw some negative reviews for leaks, and poor absorption. I believe that those individuals either forgot to pre-wash the diapers, or were using the wrong detergents.
overall I find this product great, and would recommend to a friend. The main problem is that it may be hard for some to afford all at once. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Rachelle on Friday 31 July, 2009 These are the first cloth diapers I have ever used so I don't know how to compare them to others. But they are pretty good for us. I only ordered 12 and we could defineately use more than that because I have to wash a load every day since they take so long to dry. I hand dry them overnight then put them in the dryer in the morning to soften them up. They leaked at first because I only prewashed them 3 times. But they have not leaked since I started washing them more. They leave red marks on my baby's back. And now that we have had them for about 2 months they are starting to get a bad smell. With the layers they can be kind of annoying to rinse out. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

They are absorbant once they have been pre-washed at LEAST 6-8 times. Otherwise, they will leak. We use Hemp babies doublers when on the go and still get a trim fit with added absorbancy. For our son we can put more of the cotton layers up front as well - a huge perk when CD-ing a boy. The snaps are the icing on the cake as well, since our 10 month old son can undo the velcro on the 3.0 OS. With 3.0 OS at night and these organic all-in-one OS during the day, we have our perfect CD stash! Thanks BG for a great product! Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!]

But, the layers really were not working for me. You have to get down and dirty when cleaning out the diaper after a bm, because it gets in between the layers. If you could physically remove the layers for cleaning, via snaps, I really think they would work out for me. VERY absorbent and soft. I just cant get over the layers...sigh.

Reviewed by SHERYNE on Wednesday 01 July, 2009 I have to agree with Brandon's review. I bought the 3 pack organic one size since I've bought the bumGenius 3.0 AIO and wanted to see the difference. Also due to the fact that I like to buy organic products.
I found the snap hard to use and my daughter really don't have the patience for me to snap and re-snap them. I also noticed that she wet the front of the diaper most often and I have to get them changed at least every half an hour. And yes, they take FOREVER to dry. I finally get the layers turn out just to separate them and that seems to help reduce the drying time to 3 hrs. I will stick to the AIO for night time and when we go out and use the organic bumGenious during day time and while we are at home. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

My son is a heavy wetter and has very productive "blow out" sized poops. These diapers contain them all. No peeing out of the diaper at night and we haven't had a blow out yet! I have only one issue. After you put on the diaper look at the section near your baby's inner thigh. If you can see the liner of the diaper peeking out, be sure to tuck it back in or there will be a small leak as the pee soaks the inside of the diaper and seeps out onto the fabric.

Reviewed by Lace on Sunday 07 June, 2009 These diapers rock my socks off! My son is skinny (21 lbs and 33 inches at 16 months) and they fit him very well on the medium rise setting. They dry much much much faster than the 3.0 all-in-ones, but take considerably longer than the 3.0 one-size pockets. I LOVE that this diaper is one-size so my toddler and infant (due in 3 months) will both be able to use it. We used to use the 3.0 OS, but my son developed an allergy to polyester (both suedecloth and fleece) and I am just SOOOO happy bumGenius makes this all-cotton diaper. The organic is super trim (clothes fit about like they do over disposables) and surprisingly absorbent. My heavy wetter does not need a doubler for daytime use as long as I change him every 2-2.5 hours. I lay a hemp babies doubler in there for naps and it adds virtually no bulk. I don't think this diaper would work very well for night time use though. There just isn't enough space to put that much added absorbency. This is my favorite day-time diaper. Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!]

I feel like they run small or might be better on a thinner baby. She is a bit thick! lol I do like the snaps because they are more durable than the velcro but They are cumbersome to do when baby is trying to run off. I also feel they take a very long time to line dry. 24 hours inside at least or a day in the sun. It is fine for a Grandma or a sitter but I much prefer Birdseye flats and a thristy cover now.

Its wouldn't hold through the night without an doubler for my one year old but it is as trim as the Very Babys! I wish they had this diaper a year ago when I bought all mine. It is a little pricey but considering it covers small to large, it's not to bad. It might not fit a newborn, but probably around 10-12lbs, I'd give it a try. I got the Rabbit color and it is beautiful. I am so glad BG finally came out with a snap diaper (the velcro wears out so fast and I hate replacing it).

Reviewed by Maria on Wednesday 18 February, 2009 I love these diapers!! They fit great on both my kids, are super absorbent once fully prepped, and don't wick like some other brands that I own. I love that they are available now with snaps, which hold up much better than aplix in the long run. These are definitely my favorite aio's. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Emily on Tuesday 17 February, 2009 I was so excited to get this diaper!! You get the trim fit while still having a one-size diaper that bg is famous for, but in an aoi with no stuffing required!! I love the organic cotton, it is super absorbant, even after only a few washes, and does not irritate my son's skin at all. The only thing I would change is how the soaker is attached- I would prefer it was only connected in the back, not on both ends. Poop clean-up is very messy with the current construction. I have three now, but if they ever change the soaker to be a tongue instead of a loop, I'm buying 20 more!!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Kari on Wednesday 11 February, 2009 I have been in pursuit of the perfect diaper since my son was born 6 months ago. We have been using mostly BG 3.0s, but I'm not the biggest fan of the extra step of stuffing (lucky I have a stay at home husband who does that step!), although they are terrific diapers. This new diaper has it all - I just received my first few last week, and they are perfect! Snap closure so you don't have to deal with laundry tabs, one-size, all-in-one, gorgeous, works great, and relatively slim! And organic to boot, and truly not that expensive when you consider what you're getting. So essentially you get a great diaper that comes off your baby, goes into the wash with no extra steps, and goes back on baby. Oh - and it also dries much, much faster than any other AIO I've tried - one dryer cycle. What more can you really ask for? Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Anne on Monday 09 February, 2009 We're loving these! Combining the practically-bulletproof BG outer with an organic cotton inner makes for the ideal diaper. Add snaps to foil busy fingers, and it's pretty much perfect!! The leg elastic is softer than on the BG 3.0 (pockets), which is great for my twins' sensitive skin but makes the diaper a smidge more likely to leak. The multi-layer soaker allows drying in a single cycle for us, though we'll see how it goes once the humidity here in central Texas rises for the season. Cute colors, no aplix to snag/chain in the dryer, and multi-size... what more could I ask for? |
