bumGenius Diaper Doublers / Newborn Insert (3 Pack) Reviews (17) Write Review
Rating:  [3 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Alicia on Monday 28 June, 2010These inserts are very absorbent, as advertised, and will deliver on all their claims. However I have stopped using them for several reasons: 1) they get smelly much quicker than my cotton fibers and made my nighttime diapers stink 2) the material does not feel good to my hands and clings to everything-it does not stay soft at all once washed 3) it is a material that cannot be against my son's skin, so I always had to be aware of that when diapering 4) it is white which I hated having mixed in with my natural stash-this is a purely cosmetic reason :) Overall, I have found an all cotton stash to be preferable. That is one woman's opinion, but I just sold these off and will be ordering hemp inserts in the case that I miss having a doubler. Rating:  [4 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Bethany on Thursday 10 June, 2010 I like these! I used one newborn insert in BG diapers from 1 month until 3 months, and then from 3 to 6 months used two or three inserts instead of the regular sized insert. I found that using these instead made the diaper less bulky and therefore leak less.
They do retain a lot of stink, these microfibers. I followed directions perfectly, but found that only Rockin Green Hard Rock could knock out the odor of microfiber because of our hard water. That is why I didn't give them a perfect score - organic cotton soakers and hemp soakers just don't have the same stink issues. Rating:  [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Jessica on Sunday 28 March, 2010 Great little doubler! I use these at night in my Flips or my 3.0's and they give a nice little aborbency boost without adding a lot of bulk. Great price too! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Amber on Sunday 21 March, 2010 we used these for about 4 months in our bg3.0 with no leaking, our son is now 9 months and sleeps through the night most nights, so we use these as a doubler so that there are no leaks overnight. we also used them with the g diapers for on the go or when we are washing all 24 of the bg3.0s.

Reviewed by Barbara on Thursday 04 March, 2010 These things are great! My newborns diapers were leaking every night after sleeping for 6 hours straight, I tried one of these and no problem whatsoever. I can't wait to get some more of these! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Leah on Sunday 14 February, 2010 I love these! They are SO soft and absorbent. I wish I had known about these when my first two children were babies. I am so glad that I purchased them! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Casey on Saturday 12 September, 2009 I got the Prince Lionheart warmer (because of the reviews about the lid on the one cottonbabies sells) and use these for wipes. They are so soft and when folded over in a third fit well. They came with my BG one size so I had plenty. Wonderful! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Melanie on Monday 06 July, 2009 I have used these with my one size inserts with my 3.0s for overnights. no leaks, worked great until my son was 19 months. Then I started seeing some leaks so I added two newborn doublers to my one size insert and no more leaks! I am ordering a few more pkgs of these so that all my 3.0s can have two doublers per night and I don't have to wash every other day. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Erica on Monday 22 June, 2009 I bought some of these that were 2nds... I couldn't even tell why they were 2nds. These work great for DD as a newborn, but as soon as she grew a little bigger she needed the OS inserts because she is a super soaker. So, for a super soaking newborn I would say these are good... absorbent yet not too bulky!! I have not yet tried them as a booster/doubler along w/our OS inserts because adding more layers would be too bulky... when DD gets bigger I will try it though. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Ann on Tuesday 27 January, 2009 We love these. They even work well inside BumGenius One-Size diapers by themselves. Our baby is now 5 months old. We don't even need to use the standard inserts yet. Even better, we use these inside GDiapers rather than their disposable inserts, which makes those diapers even more eco-friendly. These would also make good burpcloths, but we're lucky not to have a spitter-upper! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Amy on Wednesday 03 December, 2008 We used these exclusively with our BG3.0s until our daughter was about 10kg (3 months). Then she started to leak. Practically every diaper change required a clothes change... not fun! In any case, for these first three months, these were fantastic. They weren't bulky under her clothes, and she had very very very few leaks... well, maybe a few times at night since she started sleeping through (approx. 8 hours straight) around 2 months.... but I realize that that's unusual:-) Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Sara on Tuesday 28 October, 2008 I got these with my BG OS pocket diapers. I like them a lot. Great for a NB I am sure, and then great for additional absorbency in pocket diapers. However, please remember not to use microfiber directly touching baby's skin. If you use this with a prefold, wrap the prefold around it so that only the cotton is touching baby's skin.

Reviewed by Susan on Saturday 07 June, 2008 These are a must have. My babies have both been heavy wetters, so I use one of these with a CB insert in my BumGenius diapers for daytime use. Love them, and I always tell new cloth diapering moms to get some doublers. .. These are the ones I recommend. Please note: one should not use microfiber products directly against the baby's skin as it can be drying. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by jennifer on Monday 17 March, 2008 I got these with my bumgenius one-sizes, which I ordered after my son was too big to use as an insert, and I don't really need a doubler for the bg's yet, so I wasn't sure what to do with them. Then I found that these are great for using with my pre-folds. My son outgrew the size small bummi's covers, so we went into medium covers, but the large pre-folds were way too bulky, and the small pre-folds didn't quite do the job. I found that if I used the small pre-fold w/ the insert on top, it was much trimmer, and keeps my son drier. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Lindsey on Friday 22 February, 2008 I ordered these to use in my bumGenius 2.0's. I love the way they feel and how much thinner they are then the other microfiber inserts. They still hold a lot too. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Rebecca on Tuesday 31 July, 2007 We use these at night with BumG's one size...works great! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
Reviewed by Sarah on Tuesday 05 June, 2007 These work great with the Bumgenius one size fits all! It holds overnight 12 hours with no leaks! View all 17 reviews |
